Alan refused without consideration and he looked unhappy.
Nora asked, "Why?"
"No why. I won't agree to it anyway." Alan turned around and waved his arm.
Nora continued to explain, "As long as I am your wife, I will be obligated to give birth to a baby for you
and the family. However, our situation as you know, won't allow me to give you a child. So only when
we divorce, won't they stick to the topic.
You know, I am so stressful that I am afraid that I will expose our agreement when I can't tolerate it
anymore. Then it will be more complicated. Alan, aren't you tired of such a marriage? Actually you can
get married with the girl you like and have your own baby. It will be great, isn't it?"
"Nora, I said I won't divorce. Can't you understand?" Alan frowned and his eyes were burning.
"Our agreement has also stated that once we find our true love, we can be free from the marriage."
Nora brought up the agreement again.
Alan declared immediately, "I have not met my true love. What about you?"
"I…" When she hesitated, all that flashed through her mind was Oca's handsome face.
She was upset because she could not get what she loved.
"Neither do you." Alan said for her, "Nora, I have known something about your past. I don't ask you
because I respect your privacy.
Now that neither of us have found our true love, why do we divorce? Just continue to live together. We
have been doing so for five years. It is fine, isn't it?
Though you want to divorce, will your parents agree? The Way family won't agree as well. Our
marriage is not just about us. Don't forget why we got married.
As for the case of children, I will solve it. You don't need to worry. If you trust me, just let me handle it,
okay? We are not going to divorce."
His last sentence seemed to begging.
When Nora looked at his serious face, she felt conflicted and complicated.
She knew exactly their marriage was just like a marriage of the two families and her parents were
optimistic about it. Therefore, they wouldn't easily let them divorce.
If she could choose her lover and marriage as her wished, she would not be opposed by her parents to
being with Oscar.
When she thought about Oscar, her heart was broken.
Because she could never meet the man she loved deeply anymore, she could only continue the
marriage.
Nora compromised and nodded at him.
Getting her approval, Alan held her in arms the next second and he was as happy as a child who had
been given candy.
"Don't get all hands on me!" Nora punched his back, reminding him that he was out of line.
Because now they were getting along in private, they were not allowed to behave excessively.
Alan let her go and rubbed his thighs with his hands awkwardly. He explained, "I just got caried away. I
won't do this next time."
"I want to take a shower." Nora walked past him towards the bathroom.
She didn't understand why he was so happy as she didn't insist on a divorce.
Thinking carefully, she felt Alan hadn't been himself lately.
He got home on time every day and sometimes he would give her gifts, like a bunch of flowers, a
brooch and a silk scarf.
He had dinner with her, worked out with her, chatted with her and watched soap operas with her.
He was so free these days. Hadn't he been hanging out with girls lately?
Nora shook her head and wiped away the water on her face. What did this have to do with her?
What flashed through her mind most were Oscar and their sweet memories.
The sweeter the past was, the more she missed it.
"Tap-tap."
A knock on the door outside the bathroom interrupted her thoughts.
"Nora, are you okay?" Alan was playing on his phone and he found that she hadn't come out for a long
time, so he knocked at the door.
Nora said in a hurry, "I am fine."
"Hurry up. Or you might faint from lack of oxygen." Alan reminded her.
"Got it." She turned off the shower and put on a towel, "I am done."
Nora wiped away the water on her body and put on the silk pajamas. When she came out, she met his
eyes outside.
Her long wet hair fell over her left shoulder, dripping.
Her face was stained red by the steam. Her eyes were dewy and soft. Her eyelashes were well defined
like a blooming rose, which were pure and charming.
The beautiful line of her neck and her hazy collarbone shocked Alan.
"Alan, what are you looking?" Nora saw him watch her from head to her collarbone, so she was
annoyed.
"I… Nothing." He was too nervous to speak, "I am going to take a bath."
He rushed into the bathroom and closed the door.
Nora was about to say something, but she clenched her teeth and paused when hearing the door
closed.
Nora sat in front of the dresser, wiped her hair and dried it. Then she took care of her skin.
When Alan came out, he saw Nora's slim figure. She put her legs by the bed and applied body lotion to
them.
He was somehow excited and felt there was a stream of heat running down his nose.
Fuck! He was bleeding from his nose. How long hadn't he seen women? Why was he so hungry?
Actually he had never seen such an alluring Nora. When they lived in Springhill Villa, they slept in
separate rooms. If it was not because they needed to stay in the Way's today, they would never sleep
in the same room.
Hearing the sound, Nora turned her head and saw Alan wiping the blood from his nose. She asked,
"You got a nosebleed?"
"Oh… Yeah." Alan wiped the blood in a hurry, pretending to be natural, "Maybe I have eaten too much
heaty food lately. As long as I have something lite, I will be fine."
"Alan, I am beautiful and charming. Don't count on me." She smiled and didn't believe his bullshit.
"Don't worry about it. My outside girlfriend is mild and lovely. How will I count on you?" Alan argued
aggressively.
Was he shameless? He could never admit that he got a nosebleed because she turned him on, or he
would be in a doghouse.
