Female NovelChapter 2381 A silence settled between them.
Both of them understood that marriage wasn't an immediate possibility.
The rumors and challenges Edwin faced were too burdensome for any hasty decisions.
Laura, empathizing with his plight, pressed gently against him.
“We're almost like a married couple already,” she whispered.
Edwin's response was a light laugh.
He leaned close to her ear.
“So, should I stay over tonight?” Laura knew it wasn't right to let things go too far in her parents’ house.
Just then, Lina’s voice called out, inviting Edwin for his late-night snack.
Edwin, still close to her ear, teased in a playful tone, “You know I'm too worn out for anything else tonight.” Laura blushed at his implication, biting her lip.
“I wasn't thinking of anything.” Edwin looked at her with a smile, knowing that despite her shy exterior, Laura was quite passionate in their more intimate moments.
He casually draped his coat on a coatrack in her room before leading her out to eat.
Lina had prepared sweet glutinous rice balls for him, some filled with sesame and others multicolored.
Edwin moved comfortably into the kitchen to find a smaller bowl, dishing out two for Laura.
“I know you don't want to gain weight, so just two for you,” he said, understanding her concerns.
Laura accepted his gesture with a soft murmur, her obedience clear.
Lina, watching this, laughed and turned to her husband.
“See how thoughtful Edwin is? Why can't you be more like that?” she playfully chided.
Peter was engrossed in the World Cup finals on TV when Lina's playful accusation prompted him to respond.
“If you were eighteen again, I'd be all over you,” he retorted with a light harrumph.
“But at our age, too much affection just gives the young ones something to laugh at”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
