After Jeremy had sent off his friends, he stopped walking tipsily as he did earlier in front of the other people, but started to walk steadily upstairs, while holding a gift box in one hand.
When he reached the door of his bedroom, he stopped there and stared at the white wooden door, deep in thoughts.
He knew that once he pushed the door open, the woman inside would really become his wife.
He didn't like Olivia Xia, actually, he even hated her a bit. He found her to be even more troublesome than his father, Daniel. She always kept nagging him about everything.
But when he remembered the movies he had seen with his friends just now, Jeremy found himself desiring for something.
He shook his head to sober up and pushed the door open.
As soon as Olivia heard the noise, she immediately hid herself under the quilt.
Jeremy threw the gift box on the bed and said, "Hey, do you know where I have just been?"
Olivia managed to compose herself and slowly sat up on the bed. She was about to get off the bed, and said, "I am going to prepare the water for your bath."
Jeremy noticed that Olivia had already removed her makeup and changed into a red night gown.
He didn't refuse her and followed her to the door of the bathroom. He put on an evil smile as he looked at the woman busy preparing the bathing water, and said playfully, "I have watched a few movies with my good friends this whole afternoon. The action movies!"
Olivia was already a grown-up adult. She wasn't stupid, so of course, she understood what the so called action movies he mentioned actually meant... But she didn't even turn around to look at him and simply answered, "Hmm..."
Although it was a simple answer, Jeremy still could feel her voice tremble as she spoke. He felt so pleased as he started to unbutton his Western suit. He slowly took it off and threw it aside.
It took Olivia only a few minutes to fill the bathing tub with water, but she felt as if it had been longer than that. Eventually, she turned off the tap and started to walk out of the bathroom without raising her head.
But when she was about to walk past Jeremy, Jeremy grabbed her wrist.
Olivia's heart beat faster and faster. She encouraged herself in her mind to take a deep breath and calm down. She said, "The water is ready. Please go ahead and take a bath yourself. I should be going out now."
Jeremy put on a big smile, showing his white teeth, and said, "Take it easy. Let's bathe together."
"I... have already taken a bath. I'll go to bed first, " refused Olivia.
