Chapter 5 She’s lucky
Edwin Carter and Jane were looking at each other, but couldn’t find a topic to start a conversation and this once again they felt embarrassed.
"I have something to do," Jane said. Jane’s natural personality is quite cheerful, but whenever she confronted Edwin Carter she always forgot what to do.
"Okay." Edwin Carter nodded his head, got up and went to his study. After seeing him she returned to her room to prepare the documents for tomorrow’s work.
After about two hours of work, Jane shut down the laptop and with both hands rub her sore eyebrows. She got up opened the door and encounter Edwin Carter who came out of the bathroom.
He was wearing a white nightgown. Water was dripping from his short black hair, and his facial expression was very cool. "It’s getting late. Go take a shower and sleep" He spoke calmly and without looking at her much turned and entered the room.
Jane was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that tonight he was going to share his room with her. However, she stayed stunned for some time. She had not accepted him with her full heart. This thought made Jane feel that her heartbeat is accelerated, difficult to breathe normally.
Half an hour later, Jane got out of the bathroom. She wore a long-sleeved night suit and completely covered herself in that suit. In the bedroom, her eyes were searching for Edwin Carter, but there was no sign of him, so she felt some relief. But just after a moment, she saw Edwin Carter coming in. There was a faint smell of tobacco coming with him, which showed he had just gone to the balcony to smoke. He didn’t want to hide his habit of smoking, it was just he didn’t feel appropriate to smoke around her.
"Sleep." Edwin Carter went to bed first and lay on the right side of the bed, leaving the position on the left side for Jane.
"Oh, god..." Jane was so nervous, tongue beneath teeth, cold sweats all over the body and a heart beating abnormally.
She moves towards the bed and lay down on the left side of Edwin Carter. The big bed is two meters wide, and there is a clear distance between them, but Jane feels that she is surrounded by the breath of Edwin Carter.
"I am going to sleep. Goodnight" She closed her eyes in the hope that she could fall asleep as soon as possible. Jane restrained herself not to think about him, but the more she thinks about him in her mind, and as eagerly as she wants to fall asleep the more she stays awake.
She wondered if Edwin Carter would do something to her while she was asleep. And at the same time think, even if Edwin Carter really wanted to do something to her, it would be perfectly normal and easy for him, and after all, she and he are legally married.
Jane was having a lot of thoughts in her mind, her body became more and more rigid just like a stone.
Well aware of the tension of Jane, Edwin Carter suddenly moves close to Jane, hold her hand and rubbed her head: "Jane, although we are legally married, I will not force you to do what you do not want to do." His voice was still charming and pleasant as usual, but in dizziness, she also hears some laughter, and her ears turn red for a while. Indeed, his husband is clever and sharp.
With the assurance of Edwin Carter, her nerves relaxed slowly, and soon she fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sky was already bright. Jane grabbed her cell phone and looked at the time. "Everything is finished!" She couldn’t help and whisper.
From Monday to Friday morning, her alarm clock will ring at seven o’clock but didn’t ring today or is she too sleepy to hear?
"Wake up." Edwin Carter’s deep and captivating voice sounded in the room. "I think it is too early, so I turned off your alarm clock and let you sleep a little longer." Hearing the voice of Edwin Carter, Jane realized that there was another person in the room. She looked up and saw the well-dressed Edwin Carter sitting on a sofa, his fingers turning over the newspapers in his hand, it seems he had been waiting for her for long.
"Well, wait for a moment. I’ll ready the breakfast as fast as possible." Jane flicked her head and jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
"Breakfast is ready. I’ll wait for you". She heard the deep voice of Edwin Carter. Jane did not know how to react.
Jane was looking so frightened just like a small rabbit, Edwin Carter’s sexy thin lips can’t help smiling, and there was a little laughter in his cold eyes. Was this really Jane, the hot girl, three years ago who after getting drunk scolded him for three hours and vomit over him?
Jane took a shower, changed her clothes and came to the dining hall. She was wearing a white shirt and black skirt. Her outfit fitted her perfectly. She looked more mature than her real age, very sexy and appealing as well.
Edwin Carter’s pupils contracted when he looked at her without letting her know he moved his eyes away. She sat down silently and to breakfast. So the first thing after Edwin Carter’s appointment as Chairman of Innovation Technology will be to change the clothes of female employees and replace these short skirts with trousers.
Seeing the delicious breakfast on the table, Jane smiled and asked, "You made all this?" Last night he told her that he couldn’t cook. It is amazing that he learns to make such a delicious breakfast in one night.
After knowing what she thought of it, Edwin Carter handed her a cup of warm milk and said, "The maid brought all these."
Edwin Carter is conscious about cleanliness and particularly picky about his food. He does not eat anything, so the lady who in charge of his diet and living made all these arrangements.
"It looks delicious." Jane sat down, picked up the snack and bite, "It’s really delicious." The food was fully appetizing enriched with fragrance and more delicious than she thinks.
"Well." Edwin Carter hummed out gently, looked very cold and gave no special response. Edwin Carter was quiet, Jane couldn’t say anything anymore. So she picked up a snack and put it into her mouth.
After eating another piece of pastry, she glanced at Edwin Carter quietly. Saw him eating gracefully, couldn’t help thinking of the English aristocracy. He didn’t need to do anything deliberately, even unconsciously his character always reveal elegance and nobility.
"Is there something on my face?" Edwin Carter asked her suddenly with a shallow doubt in his eyes.
"No, no." she was caught again watching him, Jane couldn’t help but blushed and bowed down her head for breakfast.
"If you like today’s breakfast, I’ll order them to prepare these items for every day’s breakfast." After some time, Edwin Carter added another sentence.
Jane carelessly said: "No need to bother this much."
Edwin Carter put down his chopsticks, took up the napkin, wiped his mouth and slightly add a sentence: "You are my wife."
"Hmm, okay." Jane didn’t argue further, because Edwin Carter’s reason knocked her heart softly. She’s his wife. He’s her husband, which means they have to spend a life with each other.
Jane ate delicious pastries and drank warm milk, but the heart couldn’t help thinking. God is blessing her. Once he had closed his big door to happiness on her but now he had opened some small windows for her.
