Chapter 38

HOME

At Isaiah's house, Gu Man was sitting under a parasol while laying on a beach chair. She was relaxing by the pool per Isaiah's request. He said she worked too hard and she needed to rest and relax.

She didn't want to at first. Mostly because she was embarrassed to wear swimwear in front of Isaiah. But after 30 minutes of coaxing, she finally gave in.

Right now she was wearing a purple bikini top with purple bottoms, but as she was embarrassed she asked if she could at least wear one of his jumpers to cover her top.

Isaiah didn't deny the request and got one of his white hoods. He only wore it once this entire week so it didn't smell or anything. It didn't stink but it did have his masculine scent.

For Gu Man who was not only underdressed in front of a handsome male but has been deprived of anything sexual for the past 18 years, it was hard not to feel a bit hot. But Gu Man had a strong will.

Even if she felt an attraction to this young man he was not only her daughter's friend but much younger then her. If she changed her lifestyle and took care of herself she would definitely look younger and more beautiful like she did in her younger years.

While her thoughts were everywhere she was brought back by the voice of Isaiah who had just come out of the pool. His whole body was wet and his hair messed in every direction. In fact, this look made him look even more roguish and handsome.

Isaiah" I've had my fun in the pool so I'm finished."

Gu Man" How's the water."

Isaiah" Really good. It would have been better if you had joined."

Gu Man wanted to apologize and find an excuse but was interrupted by her phone Ringing. She picked it up when she saw it was from her daughter. After 5 minutes of conversing she ended the call.

Gu Man" It looks like she's back from her small trip with her friends. She's also going to look at houses before she comes back."

Isaiah" That's good. I should make a Fest to celebrate her return. Do you want to come with me to the supermarket."

Gu Man" I would love to. I'll just go change really quick" She said standing up from the beach chair. Just as she was about to turn she failed to notice how slippery the ground beneath her foot was and panicked when her foot slipped." YELP"

She closed her eyes before the impact of falling down hit her, but surprisingly she didn't feel pain but a pair of strong arms that wrapped around her waist and breast.

Gu Man" mhhhh" she opened her eyes and as expected before she fell Isaiah reacted quickly and caught her in a rather intimate manner.

Gu Man's heart skipped a beat and the heat in her from before had already started increasing.

Isaiah" Are you alright." He asked but he got no reply from Gu Man. He worried and saw that her eyes were cloudy and her breath quickened. Gu Man who not only felt hot but also inhaled his scent felt it was hard to breathe. She was confused and..and.

She looked up in Isaiah's worried eyes. She didn't know what she did before she did it but she brought her lips to Isaiah's.

He was shocked by the sudden kiss but didn't reject. Though her skin was a bit dry her lips were surprisingly plump and nice to kiss.

Xueyun" Hey Isaiah I'm hungry could we...oh."

When both Isaiah and Gu Man head heard Xueyuns voice they were brought back to reality and realized what they were doing.

Gu Man didn't know what to do. She was so ashamed of herself. She quickly ran past Xueyun and into her room.

There was an awkward silence between Xueyun and Isaiah. That was until Xueyun giggled and kissed Isaiah.

Xueyun" Giggle, hubby I know I said you could have more than one woman, but you work to quickly."

Isaiah" I-I." Before he could say anything she shut him up with another kiss and said.

Xueyun" Gu Ning is coming home and I don't think Gu Man will be coming with you so let me talk to her while your out."

Isaiah sighed in relief. He thought Xueyun would be mad, but it was him that overthought things. He decided to let Xueyun talk with Gu Man while he got dinner ready.

POV GU MAN

Gu Man who had tears in her eyes sat on the bed. She was mad at herself for doing something so stupid and immoral.

Knock knock

Suddenly a knock comes from the door. Gu Man panicked thinking it was Isaiah, but when she heard the voice on the other side she relaxed.

Xueyun" Man Man, it's me, Can I come in."

Gu Man was relieved it wasn't Isaiah and quickly made herself presentable. She wiped her tears but anyone could tell she had been crying.

Gu Man" You can come in now."

Xueyun entered and looked at Gu Man. Although she tried to hide it she new Gu Man was trying to hide her emotions.

Xueyun got a chair from a corner and placed it right in front of Gu Man. She sat down in front of her and asked." Do you know what Isaiah is to me."

Gu man didn't have a good feeling about the answer and shook her head.

Xueyun" He's my husband."

There was shock all over Gu Man's face before it became one of horror. She had actually kissed her husband. Tears started running uncontrollably again as she tried to say anything.

Gu Man" Xueyun I'm so (sob) sorr." Before she could apologize Xueyun interrupted her.

Xueyun held Gu Man's trembling hands and said." There no need to apologize. Because there's nothing to apologize for."

Gu Man" Xueyun your not making any sense. I kissed your husband, (sob)my daughter's friend."

Xueyun" Sigh, let me tell you a story. And after that, you can apologize if you want."

Gu Man didn't understand but Noded anyway. She and Xueyun have developed a bond over the past few days. Although she looked the same age as Isaiah she was surprisingly very mature, and the two just clicked.

They had endless topics to talk about and it felt relaxing being with Xueyun. She didn't want to destroy that new friendship.

Xueyun" Thank you, now where to begin."
