Ryan stood against the light, looking gloomy and oppressive.
I stammered, "I... I'm going to the kitchen for some water."
As soon as I turned to leave, I felt him pulling on the collar of my bathrobe.
"The kitchen is over here. That's the bathroom."
Um...
It was a little embarrassing.
But we simps were thick-skinned. I smiled awkwardly. "This is my first time here. I'll know my way next time."
Ryan snorted in the dim light.
"Carol, you're still thinking about a next time?"
Of course.
Simps were always like this. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, we were already thinking of a name for our third child.
"You can't sleep, can you?"
"No."
"Wait here."
He turned and went back to the master bedroom. I was about to follow him. But he reached out and pressed his hand against my forehead. "Be good. Stay outside."
Oh...
What kind of noble lady was he? Why couldn't I enter his bedroom?
But didn't the words "Be good" sound a bit doting?
Ryan came back soon.
