The Substitute Bride

Coming out of the tea room, Charles directly went to Autumn and took her hand. He asked, "You're still chatting here. Aren't you tired?"

"No. I just got back. I have been talking to Chris. She said that Z City is full of fun and I want to go out, so I thought why not..." "Stop talking now. I'm tired. Let's go upstairs and sleep, " Charles interrupted Autumn, and pulled her to her feet.

"What did grandpa say?" Autumn asked casually as he led her upstairs. "Does he still blame me?"

"What are you talking about?" There was a gleam in Charles's eyes. "Grandpa already told you that he wasn't blaming you. So don't think nonsense! "

Charles's wound could not get wet. As soon as they entered the bedroom he told Autumn in a coquettish voice, "I am hurt, Ye."

"I know that." Autumn nodded in bewilderment and continued, "You've been hurt for a week. Of course I know."

Then she looked for his underwear and bath towel and urged him, "Now go and have a bath. I'll pour you a cup of hot water and you'll have to take some medicine later."

With that, she put those things in Charles's hands. As she turned around, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into his arms. He held her so tightly that she could not break free.

In an instant, his masculine air enveloped her. "What are you doing?" she asked, blushing. "Stop that now."

"What? What am I doing?" Charles teased her. As he held her tightly feeling her warmth, he was rather satisfied.

'The woman in my arms is my wife and the one I'm determined to protect for the rest of my life.' He felt great thinking about it.

"Charles, I know we're married, but... you promised that you wouldn't force me..." Autumn's face got a little red, and Charles seemed very wild to her tonight.

"Did I

r that moment.

The moment his clothes were all off, she peeked at him uncontrollably, though shy. As a result, the tantalizing scene played over and over in her mind like a movie.

Pouring water into the bathtub, she bent down to check the temperature. But Charles, who was behind her, pulled her up and said, "I can do the rest by myself. You go out first..."

"But..." Autumn frowned, but Charles said faintly, "Go out. I can really do it on my own. "

Looking at the woman, the love of his life, Charles could barely control himself. If Autumn continued to stay in the bathroom with him, things would go out of hand.

"I'm not so good at self-control. Don't tempt me into doing something wrong." His words were so plain and direct that Autumn understood him at once. Then she went out of the bathroom, with a reddened face.

As she left, Charles turned on the cold water faucet. He didn't step into the bathtub until the water in it was totally cold.

It was early fall, but taking a cold bath required a lot of courage. However, he didn't feel cold at all. For his mind was thinking of Autumn's shyness, and he kind of regretted teasing her in the first place.
