Chapter 71: Well, Paul's Quite Cute in a Sense
One had to sacrifice something to gain others.
She didn't believe Amy would get out of this shit hole! Amy had hardly rested for the past few days.
Grandma was in critical condition after the operation.
Only when she passed through that period could everyone feel relief.
She was so busy between the company and the hospital that she rarely returned to the Shallow Bay Apartments.
Paul wasn't happy about this at all.
They hadn't been talking for days since their last argument.
The atmosphere felt intense in their house because Paul sat upright on the safe with his eyebrows frowning.
"Is Amy back?"
It was the ninth time he had asked the question today.
He was sitting on the sofa, waiting, since he came back from the company.
"Amy's grandmother is about to pass the critical condition.She should be back tonight."
Paul nodded, his face regaining a little color.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the servant checked the time and asked respectfully, "Mr.Howard, are you ready for dinner?"
Paul usually had a regular schedule.
He would have finished his dinner if it was before.
"Sure."
He answered faintly, but his gaze would fly to the door from time to time.
Why wasn't she home? At 7:30 PM, the entrance door opened.
Amy, exhausted, came in and changed her shoes at the entrance.
Paul quickly withdrew his gazes and pretended to be looking at the documents in his hands.
They were in a cold war these days.
No one would talk to the other.
To be exact, Amy had tried to talk to Paul before.
After all, it was her fault that Paul had to hear those words in the hospital.
He had helped her so much.
How could she treat him like that? But no matter how hard she tried, Paul had never loosened his grudge.
She was too tired tonight.
Her grandma had passed the critical period, and she could finally have a good night's sleep.
She came back as soon as she could.
She didn't say anything when she saw Paul but walked to the second floor.
Paul pretended to read the document.
His face turned blue when she passed by him without saying anything.
The air around him was as cold as wintertime.
All Amy could think was to go to bed and sleep.
She didn't notice him there.
Tim, standing at the side, finally couldn't stand them and said, "Amy, did you have dinner? Mr.Turner hasn't eaten either.Why don't you eat together?"
Amy stopped and finally glanced in Paul's direction.
"Was he waiting for her?" Amy thought.
Paul still didn't say anything.
His eyes were on the document, and he looked calm.
Amy was touched by his actions.
She knew that Paul was not good with words.
He even acted like a child sometimes.
He might still be angry with what had happened the other day.
She turned her foot and walked towards the table.
Tim breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried that Amy wouldn't get his hint.
Mr.Turner had been sitting there for so long that anyone could tell that he was waiting for her.
"Mr.Turner, maybe you want to start dinner your dinner as well?"
Tim bent down and talked to Paul.
However, Paul put away the document he was reading, snorted, and was about to go upstairs instead.
Tim opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Amy.
"Honey, I'm sorry about what had happened.It was my fault.Mrs.Howard had been bugging me for so long, and I was a little annoyed by that time.The words slipped out of my mouth.I didn't mean any of that.I know you are the best choice for me.You are responsible, capable, and you always protect me from bad things.I couldn't have landed with anyone better than you."
Paul was pleased to hear her flattering him.
His mouth curved into a smile.
Amy saw his expression had changed and felt that he was about to forgive her.
She continued, "You saved me more than once.I'm very grateful."
"I won't leave you before our contract ends.’’ Paul was delighted.
Finally, he turned around and came to the table.
Seeing this, the servants started to serve more dishes.
Tim's heart finally went back to his stomach when he saw Amy passing a dish to Paul's way.
"It has to be Amy.I should leave the space to them now." Tim thought.
He found an excuse and left.
Amy and Paul were the only people left in the living room.
Amy poured him a bowl of soup.
"It is good for your health.Have some, honey.’’ Paul looked at her face and saw two big dark circles under her eyes.
She didn't come back until around 10 PM these days except today.
"Is grandma okay?"
It was the first sentence he spoke to her in days.
Amy nodded, and a smile appeared on her face.
"The doctor said it's nothing serious.All she has to do now is rest."
After saying this, they ate quietly and didn't continue talking.
The ice around them finally started to melt after a few days.
After dinner, Amy went back to her room, and Paul went to the study.
She was exhausted after working non-stop for a few days.
She was trying to pull herself together when she was having dinner.
Now that she was in her room, the tiredness flashed her like waves.
She dragged her heavy body to the bathroom to take a bath.
Her whole body was wrapped in warm water, and she felt better at once.
Her face turned red because of the heat.
"Oops."
With a gasp, the soap in her hand slipped away and sank to the bottom of the tub.
Amy had no choice but to pick it up.
She raised her thigh and reached one hand over to pick the soap up.
However, Paul opened the bathroom door at that moment.
Paul had called her several times outside, but Amy did not answer.
The bedroom door was not locked, so he opened it and came in.
There was no one on the bed.
Paul was afraid that Amy would faint in the bathroom, so he opened the door directly.
He saw such an erotic scene as soon as he turned the door open.
Amy was half-bent, and the position of her hand was sending a misleading message.
Paul's face turned red and then black.
"Are you this horny?"
He gritted his teeth a little when he asked the question.
Amy's brain was dead by then.
She looked at where her hand was in a daze and saw it was by her inner thigh.
"Did he think I was...?" Amy thought.
She brought her hand back to her side and turned red at once.
She was usually a calm person, but she had never thought she would have such an embarrassing moment.
"Honey, it's not what you thought."
She suddenly realized that she was naked after speaking.
She quickly slid down into the water and let the water block Paul's view.
There were a lot of bubbles in the water.
Paul couldn't see through the water clearly, and that was why he misunderstood the situation earlier.
"Can you go out, please? I'll come ready soon."
Paul pursed her lips and slammed the door shut.
He turned around and left with a temper.
Amy rubbed her temples.
She thought she was embarrassed enough at her first visit to the Shallow Bay Apartments.
However, this had just broken the record and became her most embarrassing moment! She hurriedly got up and took a towel to dry herself.
She put on her pajamas and went out.
Paul was sitting on the bed with a dark face, looking upset.
He was upset because of what he had seen earlier.
He thought that all men would feel uncomfortable seeing their wives masturbating.
Did she think he was not enough for her needs? His brows furrowed even tighter at the thought.
It was his fault.
Amy was an adult woman, and she should have her impulses.
Amy hesitantly opened the bathroom door and saw Paul sitting on the bed, thinking hard, holding his head.
Before she could open her mouth, Paul said, "I shouldn't have ignored your needs.You are my wife.If it had reached the stage that you have to masturbate, I could step in.You can't regret in the future"
He heard that women's first sexual experience was a significant thing for them.
Because of their contact, he never thought of Amy as someone who would spend the rest of his life with him.
He never thought about her sexual impulses.
Amy stood there in a daze.
She found that he had lost her again.
Wasn't sex something that happened naturally between two people? How did it come become a task that a husband had to complete? She didn't know what kind of expression she should have.
It probably had something to do with Paul never falling in love with anyone.
She was the first woman to have an intimate relationship with him.
"Honey, it wasn't like that.The soap fell into the bathtub.I was..."
Paul's eyes were burning with fire as if he had been struggling with himself for a long time.
"Come here." He said.
His gaze rested on her after he said so.
Amy's body shook a little but started to walk towards him uncontrollably.
"What do you want to do?"
She thought he would believe her after she explained the situation.
However, Paul didn't believe her at all.
How could there be such a coincidence? He grabbed her hand and held her in his arms when she was close enough.
Amy was startled and tried to get away.
However, she was no match to him and was trapped in his arms.
She could not move at all.
Her face turned bright red at once, and she looked at him angrily.
"Paul! What the hell are you doing?"
She would really be angry if he kept doing this!
"I'm fulfilling my duty as a husband." Paul said as if this was normal.
He turned off the light and pressed her down on the bed.
Amy wanted to scold him, and she began to kick him hard.
"I said it was a misunderstanding! Let me go!"
Paul just held her down and did not take any further action.
Through the dim yellow light on the street, Amy saw that he was struggling as if he had to make up his mind to do it with her.
She felt outraged all of a sudden.
After struggling for a while, her bun became loosened, and her hair covered the whole pillow.
Fair skin, black hair, and a pretty face.
All this was tantalizing for Howard.
He didn't want to do it with her at first, but now, his heart miraculously quieted down.
It was as if a seed had sprouted silently in Paul's heart.
It was also like an empty valley suddenly filled with wind.
Emotions were flashing in his deep and dark eyes.
However, everything had quieted down after a short while.
Amy also stopped struggling.
She realized that Paul probably didn't know what had happened just now.
How could a guy who had spent all his time on business have any idea about relationships? He was acting like this because what he thought he had seen hurt his pride.
It made him feel that he was incompetent.
Paul was used to controlling everything and would never allow others to think that he was incompetent.
Amy laughed out at once.
She felt a little annoyed.
However, it was also her first time seeing Paul acting like this.
‘‘Well, he's cute in a sense”
