Trial Husband

Chapter 11

Lalisa ran to the wine cellar and poured herself a glass of whiskey on ice.

Covering her burning cheeks, she took a few sips of the chilled whiskey before calming down.

She didn't know how Jin was feeling, but she was embarrassed.

After all, they were not a couple in love. Moreover, they were not even familiar with each other, having been complete strangers before their marriage.

Had he thought of her as unreserved when she said those words just now?

Even after having two glasses of fine wine, Lalisa wanted another.

The maid, Lucy, suddenly appeared, interrupting her drinking session. "Madam, Sir would like to invite you back to your room to rest."

Lalisa knew that the reality that she had been trying to run away from was finally here.

They were actually married, and she truly wanted to be together with him for the rest of their lives. They couldn't possibly remain in different rooms for the rest of their lives, right?

Furthermore, she had no reason to avoid this matter.

It had already happened last night anyway. What was there left to be afraid of?

At worst, she could just close her eyes and wait for it to be over.

Lalisa gritted her teeth before downing another glass of whiskey. She felt dizzy as she tried to stand.

Shaking her head, she headed upstairs.

Jin had been taking a shower when Lalisa had entered the room.

The splashing sound of water filled the entire room, which made Lalisa lose her nerves again.

She closed the door, mustering up her courage with a deep breath, and carefully walked past the bathroom. It was then that Jin called out to her.

"Is it you, Lali?"

"Yes, it's me." Lalisa immediately stopped in her tracks.

How could he hear her through the loud splashing of the water? How sharp exactly was this man's hearing?

"Can you help me bring my pajamas over? I forgot to bring it in."

Lalisa did not find it suspicious. She went to the bedroom, bringing over the pajamas that had been placed neatly on the bed.

"I've brought them. Can you come out and get them yourself?"

Jin replied, "I'm in the bathtub right now. Why don't you help me bring them in?"

She bit her lip and carefully pushed the door open before entering delicately.

There was a pair of sinks in the bathroom that separated the designated dry and wet areas. The bathroom itself was inside a cubicle.

She placed the clothes on the shelf outside. She did not dare to look at Jin, who was inside, before turning around and running.

Looking at her retreating figure, Jin could not help but chuckle softly.

At that moment, he was not wearing his glasses, and his eyes were deep.

He laid down in the large circular bathtub, his arms spread out on the edges as if he was trying to be sexy.

Ah, it was a pity that his cute little wife had not seen the pose that he had deliberately struck for her.

By the time Jin came out of the shower, Lalisa had already finished unpacking her luggage.

"Lali, it's your turn to take a bath. I've already filled the tub."

He came to the door of the changing room. Lalisa looked up at him before taking a deep breath.

He was still wearing his gold-rimmed glasses and his black silk pajamas that had just been ironed. His freshly washed, soft hair laid on his head. However, unlike yesterday, his hair was no longer covering his glasses. It was in a middle parting with the sides tucked behind his ear.

He really had the beauty of a cultured scum!

This gentle and beautiful man was her husband!

Deep down, she was drooling over the magnificent sight.

Lalisa picked up her gown and rushed to the bathroom. "Okay, you can sleep first!"

She stayed in the bathroom for half an hour without leaving.

As her gentle husband approached the bathroom door, he called out, "Lali, are you done bathing?"

No answer emerged from the bathroom.

Jin frowned. He had a bad feeling.

"Lali?"

"Lalisa?"

"Sweetheart?"

He anxiously turned the doorknob, only to find that Lalisa had locked the door.

His face darkened as he slammed hard against the door. "Lalisa?! What's wrong? Lalisa? Please answer me if you hear me! Let me know that you're okay! Lalisa?!"
