Chapter 23 – Painful Things in the Past

"Why don't you sleep, Sir?" asked Dhea when she entered the room area after she finished taking a shower, and saw Hannan sitting on the sofa, reading a book that Dhea guessed was a psychology book.

As Dhea recalled, Hannan had mentioned that the man sometimes read books before going to sleep. And, the books that are read are often psychology books. Therefore, when Dhea's guess was right as soon as she skimmed the title of the book, she smiled a little.

Hannan himself turned slowly to Dhea who was stepping closer to him. He smiled back at his lover, and patted the empty sofa next to him, before replying, "I'm waiting for you to finish taking a shower, honey."

"Uh, you’re tired. You should just sleep first, you don't have to wait for me," Dhea said, patting Hannan's thigh gently. "Where did I just take a long shower?"

"No problem. I can still wait. I’m waiting for you not staring, but while reading a book," said Hannan.

“Yes. Well then, do you want to sleep now?"
