Chapter 1090: Chapter 1070: Maybe I Could...

"Um... should I..."

"Go to sleep, I said I wouldn’t touch you and I won’t!"

Compared to Senna Leon’s astonishment, Rio Gordon was quite calm and lay down in his pajamas, "Tonight is our bridal chamber celebration; if our families knew we were sleeping in separate rooms, they would worry!"

By the time Rio said this, his eyes had already closed, and the fatigue between his brows was quite evident. Even with everyone’s help, the groom couldn’t escape the seven-day wedding preparation.

Seeing him like this, a pang of pain enveloped Senna’s heart, a sensation akin to heartache filling her senses.

Her eyes landed on his figure, and subconsciously, she moved her quilt a bit to cover him. The man, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened them as the quilt touched his body.

"Senna Leon, do you know what you’re doing?" Sympathizing with me? "Are you sympathizing with me?"

"What’s there to sympathize about? The Gordon family’s Young Master gets everything he wants!"

Implying that it wasn’t sympathy but empathy she felt, sadly, the man didn’t notice her intentions at all.

"Then I want a woman but have none!"

Senna Leon: "..."

She’s already his wife, doesn’t that make her his woman?

"Regardless, now that I’ve married you, I will fulfill my duties as a wife well!"

Hearing this, Rio’s gaze on her brightened, deep and unreadable, "Senna Leon, do you know what the first step is to fulfill a wife’s duties?"

"What?"

It was her first time being a wife, of course, she didn’t know!

"Make love!" Rio looked at her calmly and after drifting off with two words, he added three more, "Accompany your husband!"

Senna Leon: "..."

"But you just said you wouldn’t touch me!"

She was beginning to doubt if he was serious or not!

"Yes, I won’t touch you!"

The man’s eyes darkened immediately, indeed she was just saying it and couldn’t fulfill it, "Sleep, I was just joking!"

After saying this, he remained in that position and fell asleep. It was their first time sharing a bed, and Senna thought she would be too excited to sleep, considering she had loved this godlike man for so many years and now he was her husband. Unexpectedly, she fell into a deep sleep in just a few minutes!

Seeing her asleep, Rio finally opened his eyes, and by the dim light of the bedside lamp, his gaze lingered on her fair face. From today, she was back by his side, in the capacity of his wife; albeit forced by him, he had managed to get her back!

Just staring at her, Rio suddenly felt not the slightest bit sleepy, so he slowly leaned in closer to get a better look at her, to see how much she had changed over the years. Unexpectedly, as his head neared hers, her arm automatically came up and clasped his shoulder firmly, stiffening Rio’s body as a primal urge stirred within him again!

Now he knew that all these years without needs was not abnormal, it was because the right person hadn’t been there!

No, rather, she hadn’t been back!

"Girl, all these years of torment, they must be enough to punish me for my youthful ignorance when I trampled your genuine feelings!"

"From now on, let’s never mention the past, okay?"

Since they were married, it was to lead a good life, not to torment each other. He realized this when he saw her at the amusement park that day, tormenting himself all day long. Faced with the first big decision of his life, he ultimately couldn’t resist his most genuine desire!

No matter what kind of person she became or whether she still loved him, he wanted her!

His hand involuntarily reached for her waist, fully aware that the pajama she wore was almost like wearing nothing, but Rio Gordon still couldn’t control his longing to hold her in his arms, even though it would torture him all night!

Once he embraced her, the woman became more conscious of herself, wrapping around him like an octopus!

Rio Gordon: ...

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!

Though his body suffered, his heart was at peace!

The next day, when Senna Leon opened her eyes, the sight before her almost made her scream in shock—she was completely in Rio Gordon’s arms, her head resting on the man’s chest where his heart thumped, her hand still wrapped around his muscular waist. The posture couldn’t be more intimate, especially considering how she was dressed!

Good heavens!

What had happened to her?

How could she look so wanton?

Senna Leon really felt like finding an underground cave to crawl into; where was the reserved demeanor she promised herself? Gone!

No, she had to sneak away from his body before Rio Gordon woke up, but just as she slowly withdrew her hand from the man’s waist, his eyes opened!

"Cough cough..."

Senna Leon nearly choked on her own saliva; how could she be so careless as to be caught red-handed in such a situation?

Watching as his eyes remained unblinkingly fixed on her chest, her face flushed red, "Umm... that, I didn’t mean to, I..."

"If it’s not intentional, does that mean it was deliberate?"

"Of course, I’ve always had poor sleeping habits, sorry ha!"

Rio Gordon didn’t make a sound, just kept his unwavering gaze fixed on her as she lied her way through, his look indicating how implausible her excuse about bad sleeping habits was, given her clinginess the previous night.

"John, wasn’t it nice that you sparked a fire on me all night yesterday!"

Rio Gordon said coolly, a sly smirk flashing in his eyes, "It nearly made me burst a blood vessel and die!"

Senna Leon: ...

Did she really do something so shameless?

Based on her experience, it usually wasn’t likely!

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to. How about I sleep on the sofa tonight? That way I won’t bother you!"

Though she felt it was unlikely, fearing that he might be upset, Senna Leon didn’t argue but instead acknowledged the situation.

"Forget it, my wife doesn’t care much for me anyway; if I burst a blood vessel and die, so be it!"

The man sighed profoundly, his face indifferent, truly leaving Senna Leon speechless.

After a long while, Senna Leon felt she ought to make her stance clear: "Why wouldn’t I care for you? I’ve said I’d do my best to fulfill my duties as a wife, which includes everything. But there’s one thing I want to discuss with you!"

At these words, Rio Gordon’s eyes suddenly brightened: "What is it?"

"It’s about Phoebe. Can she not call you ’Dad’? After all, she has her own father, and I don’t have the right to change that!"
