Terence spent a shorter time taking a shower than usual. He dried his hair and walked out of the bathroom. Esther was lying on the bed scrolling through her phone. He walked over and directly took the phone from her hand. "Stop checking your phone, sleep now."
"Do you know what I am checking?"
"What else can you check? It's nothing more than those boring rumors online." He could guess from her furrowed brows.
"Do you have a clairvoyant vision?"
"No, I am just a little smarter than you." Terence raised his hand and turned off the light. The room was in darkness. He approached her and hugged her into his arms.
Esther's body stiffened, and she instinctively pressed against his chest with her hands.
Terence smiled and deliberately lowered his head to kiss her lips. He touched her and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to control myself?"
Esther nodded honestly. "I'm afraid that you will be the one in pain."
"Don't worry. I can control myself."
