Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Do You Want a Child? 

Joseph seemed to have thought of something, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural. He stood not far from the bed, motionless. 

He didn’t even look at Deborah as he said, “I… I think I’ll go wash up again. You can rest first.” 

He only just started to carefully examine the room, and realized that there wasn’t even a single couch to be found anywhere. 

This was a suite, which included not only a bedroom but also a separate living room. 

Joseph had stayed here before and remembered that in such a suite, there was not only a couch, but also one in both the living room and the bedroom. 

In the living room, there is a woven mat, while in the bedroom, there is a long couch. Both are spacious enough to accommodate additional people for sleeping. 

But now, not even one can be seen. 

The living room and the bedroom both seemed strangely empty. 

Joseph insisted on taking another shower, claiming that he smelled of blood. Deborah didn’t stop him and let him go. 

As Joseph walked towards the bathroom, a smug message from Lucien popped up on his phone. 

“How about that, are you satisfied with the room layout? I guess I’ve made up for my mistake, right?” 

Some men are just pretentious, always acting all innocent and insisting on sleeping on the couch. 

Now that the couch is gone, he doesn’t believe Joseph can still sleep on the floor. 

Lucien looked at the couch and woven mat that had been removed with satisfaction, feeling once again that he was simply brilliant. 

Joseph took out his phone and glanced at it without replying. He then tossed it onto the coffee table outside. 

Deborah watched him enter the bathroom, feeling discomfort in her lower abdomen, which kept her from falling asleep. 

As a result, nearly half an hour passed before the bathroom door finally opened. 

Joseph had shared a bedroom with her before. 

But they always had an unspoken understanding: he would sleep on the couch, while Deborah slept in the bed. 

Every time he finished taking a shower, he would either casually wrap a towel around himself or wear a loose bathrobe, always eager to tease Deborah a bit. 

Seeing her blush, his mood greatly improved. 

Now, she was dressed from head to toe, wearing a set of home clothes that almost completely covered her neck. 

The only difference was that he didn’t wear a tie, but a scarf instead. 

For the first time, Deborah saw him looking nervous, and she couldn’t help but laugh as her stomach pain seemed to subside. 

“Why are you dressed so conservatively? Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you.” 

Joseph’s gaze shifted from the foot of the bed to the floor-to-ceiling window, from the carpet to the ceiling, but he

Just wouldn’t look at her. 

He tried to remain calm, “It’s not convenient for someone else to stay here. I’ll find Lucien and get another room next door. If you feel uncomfortable or want to eat something, just send me a message.” 

Deborah closed her eyes to sleep. “Then you go ahead.” 

Joseph took out his phone and called Lucien. 

After just a few words, Lucien’s indifferent voice came from the other side. “All the rooms for the festival are fully booked. I had to pull some strings to free up Deborah’s room. Even if a deity comes, I won’t be able to free up a second 

one.” 

Joseph stood at the door, glancing at Deborah who was fast asleep on the bed.

“Lucien, that’s enough. Which one is your room? Let me stay there for one night.” 

Lucien replied, “What did you say? I can’t hear you. If you need any food or drinks, call the front desk. Don’t bother 

1. That’s it.” 

Joseph wanted to say something more, but the sound of the phone hanging up came from the other end. 

She called again, but the other party had turned off their phone. 

Joseph stood at the door, unsure whether to leave or stay. 

Currently, Deborah was feeling unwell, so it was not possible for her to go back home directly. 

But he and Deborah hadn’t reached that stage yet, and now there was Alyssa in the mix. He was indecisive and didn’t want Deborah to have any regrets one day. 

He stood at the door for quite a while, and finally, Deborah on the bed opened her eyes and looked at him. 

“How long do you plan on standing there? If you’re not going back, come over and sleep.” 

Joseph mustered up his courage and walked over, “Debby, I… I’ll just lay out a blanket on the floor.” 

Deborah looked at him faintly and asked, “Do you think Dr. Garza would leave an extra blanket for you?” 

Joseph hesitated by the bed. “Well then, I’ll go find him.” 

Deborah left half of the bed empty and looked at him somewhat impatiently. “That’s enough, come up and sleep. I’m not feeling well tonight, don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you.” 

Joseph glanced at the empty half of the bed and the half of the blanket that was left. 

Lucien was extremely efficient in everything he did, not leaving any loose ends. He even had an extra blanket in the room removed. 

Deborah felt unwell, her body curled up into a tight ball, occupying less than a third of the bed and barely covered by a thin blanket. 

Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Joseph quickly went to the other side, took off his coat, and slipped into 

the covers. 

Being so close, he could even smell the fragrance of Deborah’s hair, which made his heart race and his stomach churn for 

a moment. 

Joseph and Deborah lay in bed with a gap between them. As soon as he lay down, Joseph’s body became stiff as a board, and he didn’t move for a long time. 

The scent of Deborah seeped delicately into his nostrils, leaving him utterly motionless. 

If he moved even slightly closer, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to resist pouncing. 

No matter what was going on inside his mind, Deborah was experiencing stomach pain and dizziness, and it was already late at night. 

Seeing that Joseph was no longer standing outside in the cold, she became drowsy and started to drift back to sleep. 

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, she suddenly heard Joseph speak excitedly, unable to hide his emotions. “Debby, this is our first time sleeping together.” 

Deborah squinted her eyes open, her face full of fatigue as she glanced around. 

Upon looking, she saw Joseph lying on his side, staring at her intently, without a hint of sleepiness on his face. 

It seemed as if, even if nothing happened, they were determined to chat with her all night long.
