Chapter 88
Silvia was fed up with listening to him. “Don’t worry. I’m clear about my position in your heart,” she said indifferently.
They did not speak again, and a suffocating silence spread through the living room.
Silvia looked at Neil and said, “I’ll clean the kitchen and order some food later. What would you like to eat?”
“Anything. I’ll be working in the study.”
After Neil left, she cleaned the kitchen and ordered her favorite food. Then, she played with her phone in the living room as she waited for the food to be delivered.
The food arrived in less than an hour. She served the food on the table before she went to the study to notify Neil.
When he saw the food on the table, his expression darkened.
“Silvia, did you do this on purpose?”
Silvia was picking up a bowl. When she heard what he said, she glanced at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“You know that I can’t handle spicy food, yet you ordered so much of it.”
Silvia loved spicy food, but in the past, she would only cook mild-tasting food to take care of him.
“Didn’t I order a salad and poached eggs for you?” she said indifferently.
He told her that she could order anything, but he was being picky now. It was so hard to deal with him!
Neil’s eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
His gaze grew colder with every bite she took.
A few minutes later, Silvia put down her fork in resignation and looked at Neil. “Please just bear with this today. I’ll hire a cook from tomorrow onward.”
Neil nodded reluctantly after some time.
After dinner, he stared at her again as she finished cleaning up. “I’d like to take a bath. Come and help me,” he said with a straight face.
Silvia stared at him in disbelief and asked, “Can’t you bathe on your own?”
When Neil saw the resistance and disdain in her eyes, his expression soured. “Do you think I can take a bath on my own in this condition?” he asked.
Silvia hesitated for a while and reluctantly said, “Okay.”
She felt awkward as she pushed him into the bathroom.
“You can take your clothes off by yourself, right? I’ll turn on the water for you!”
After that, she immediately walked to the bathtub with her back facing him. It was as if she was afraid that Neil would say no.
Ten minutes later, Silvia turned around and noticed that Neil had only taken off his top. She unwittingly frowned. “Why didn’t you take off your pants?”
“I can’t do it. Help me.”
Silvia was speechless.
If she had known that she would be in such an awkward situation, she would not have agreed to take care of Neil.
When he saw her standing still, he slowly lost his patience.
“You’ve seen my n*ked b*dy before. Why are you being shy?”
Silvia bit her bottom l*p and argued stiffly, “I’m not shy!”
Neil had a playful look in his eyes, and he nonchalantly said, “Since you’re not shy, hurry up and help me.”
She tried to stall as she approached him hesitantly. “Why don’t I get a male nurse for you? I don’t really know how to help people with baths. Besides, you’re a man-”
Before she could finish speaking, Neil grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Silvia was shocked, and she subconsciously put her hands against his chest.
When she felt his strong heartbeat and muscles, her face instantly turned red.
Although she had been married to Neil for three years, they had only slept together on the night of their wedding and on the night she was drugged.
Therefore, Silvia was still very innocent when it came to physical interactions between men and women.
When Neil sensed how tense she was, he guided her hand downward. His voice sounded a little husky too. “I’ll teach you.”
The warmth from his hand seemed to spread through Silvia’s b*dy, and it made her tremble.
Suddenly, she felt something cold against her hand.
