Chapter 1035Chapter 1035
The dress unfurled, and Erin could tell immediately that it was an alluring sleeping gown—she had to
let it loose to see what it was.
She had never dressed in anything so risque and was at once thrilled and delighted.
She wondered how James would react when he saw her put it on, and the very prospect excited her.
Still, she wanted to surprise him, so she left it outside, while James returned after his shower. "Did you
find it?"
"Yeah,” Erin replied evenly.
"What was it?" James asked, somewhat curious.
Still, he presumed it to be jewelry, since women loved their necklaces, bracelets, and the like.
"It's nothing," Erin replied.
"It's nothing? What is it?" James pressed.
"I need a shower," Erin said and headed straight to the bathroom.
James chuckled. "Is everything alright here? We just got married and we're already splitting our
wealth? What’s so valuable that you can't show me?"
"It's a priceless treasure. I'm not giving it to you just like that. " Erin flashed a mysterious smile at him
and left the
bedroom.James did not press her. He simply smiled and lay in bed to wait for her.
Even though he and Erin had always been together, they have been constantly restraining themselves
from getting too intimate.
On one hand, he had yet to fully recover, just as Erin was still traumatized after what happened before,
and he would never initiate it lightly in fear that he would reopen old wounds.
That said, she was much better these days, and her personality was slowly changing back to what it
was like before.
James naturally hoped that she would become carefree, down-to-earth, and earnest like before, which
had been as adorable as it was captivating.
He smiled, seemingly remembering a moment they shared together in the past.
Nonetheless, he waited for a long while but Erin was not returning-she should have been done with her
shower by then.
He left the room and found it still closed, and he headed over to knock on the door. "Erin..."
"Oh!" Erin yelped, sounding a little nervous.
James' heart seemed to clench. "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing..." Erin said. "I'm not done yet. Don't hurry me."
James glanced at the time-it had already been an hour.
He decided that something was wrong-if she showered any longer, she would be washing the skin off
herself."Erin, it's our wedding night, but I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with."
It was his way to tell her that he knew it hurt her and would not disregard her feelings to initiate sex,
which in turn would traumatize her.
"I-I know. Just wait in bed," Erin urged.
She was just embarrassed.
The black spaghetti-strapped dress only covered her chest - her posterior was barely hidden, while her
fair skin was bare anywhere else, including her thin legs.
And now, she was staring at the black pantyhose and the hair ornament on the vanity unit.
She really did not want to put those on, since she had no idea if it would work on James or just make
him laugh.
Thud, thud-
James knocked on the door just then, saying, "Open the door. Let me check on you."
"I'm not done showering," she quickly replied.
"No, you're done. I don't hear water running. Come out
already!"
Erin was speechless, but James was right-she was done showering.
Scratching her head for a moment, she then resolved herself and said, "Just hold on for a moment."She picked up both the hair ornament and black pantyhose, put them on, and opened the bathroom
door.
