Unexpected Embarrassment

At dinner time, a pot of medicinal cuisine Soup carefully cooked by the old lady was placed on the dining table. Ricardo Vargas drank two bowls. The old lady gently tapped his hand with her chopsticks and said reproachfully, "You naughty boy, that bowl is for Aurora Morales!" Aurora Morales secretly glanced at Ricardo Vargas and happened to meet his gaze. The two quickly looked away the moment their eyes met. Aurora Morales lowered her head and took a couple of bites of the dishes.

"Don't bother with these useless things in the future," Ricardo Vargas said coldly.

"What do you mean by useless? I've spent more than half a year specifically researching this. I've consulted over a dozen doctors, and they've confirmed that this soup has no side effects and is highly nutritious!"

Just as Ricardo Vargas was about to say something more, Aurora Morales quickly tugged at him gently under the table.

After the meal, Aurora Morales went back to her room, while Ricardo Vargas was called over by the old lady for a scolding.

"Are you trying to turn the world upside down? You don't cherish such a good wife by your side. What on earth are you thinking all day long? I'm old, and I don't know how much longer this old bone can last. Can't you just let me have some peace of mind?"

Ricardo Vargas looked helplessly. He had heard these words so many times that he was tired of them. The old lady didn't care whether he responded or not. She kept rambling on with a bunch of repetitive words, and finally, she waved her hand impatiently, telling him to leave.

The butler, Don José, walked in from outside and put down a glass of milk that had been reheated three times.

"Madam, don't worry too much about the young master. The young master still listens to you quite well. You told him to get married, and he brought a wife back right away. But it's still too early to talk about having children. After all, the young mistress is still young. She just turned twenty - two last month."

The old lady sighed wistfully.

"Do you think I don't know? But I have no choice! People outside are spreading rumors every day that my grandson likes men and that there's something wrong with him in that regard... We finally had some signs on the wedding night, but now it's gone again!"

"You've been paying attention to this all the time..." Don José said, feeling a bit embarrassed and clearing his throat.

The old lady slapped her thigh.

"No, Don José, you go and contact the best doctor in Westbrook city for me right now! My grandson's problem needs to be treated as soon as possible!"

"Okay."

In the room, Aurora Morales had just taken a bath and was sitting at the table. In front of her was a design drawing, two - thirds of which had been completed. The sound of a video call interrupted her train of thought.

A sweet - faced girl appeared on the phone screen. She was wearing a pink dress, with a ponytail on each side of her head, and holding a large fan in her hand. She winked at Aurora Morales. Aurora Morales twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Cos play?"

"Yes, yes! This is a wedding gift for you," the girl said with a giggle.

"Alessia Rossi, you're so stingy," Aurora Morales said helplessly. "You could at least give me something more practical."

"Well, then tell me, what do you lack? Girls usually like clothes, jewelry, or diamond rings, but you don't care about any of them." Alessia Rossi rolled her eyes.

Aurora Morales lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "I do like jewelry."

Alessia Rossi spat and said with disdain, "Come on! It's just because there's some competition recently. You buy jewelry just to study the design styles of your competitors. Others may not know, but I do!"

Aurora Morales replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah, you're the smartest."

Alessia Rossi snorted and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, how are you getting along with your husband? Are you harmonious in that aspect?"

Aurora Morales' face turned red. She really couldn't deal with this sister who liked to tease with words.

"It's okay, but between him and me... we haven't..."

"What? No way!" Alessia Rossi looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Is there really a man in this world who isn't attracted to you? Is there something wrong with his body?"

Aurora Morales looked surprised. "How do you know?"

Alessia Rossi choked, coughed violently while patting her chest, and her big eyes were full of astonishment. "My god, don't scare me. Then how are you going to live for the rest of your life?"

Aurora Morales didn't seem to care. "I don't know. Just take it one step at a time."

"Ah, you're so pitiful. I've specifically looked up information about Ricardo Vargas these two days. I heard he has some special hobbies. Is it true?" Alessia Rossi became gossipy.

Aurora Morales looked back at the cabinet. "If by special hobbies you mean all kinds of pajamas..."

"What pajamas? What pajamas!"

Aurora Morales got up and moved the phone around to show her. Immediately, a shrill scream came from the other end, "My goodness! This is so exciting! The white one, put on the white one and show me quickly!"

"Dream on."

Alessia Rossi pouted and pleaded coquettishly, "Woo - woo, Aurora, we grew up together. I even saw you running around the yard naked when we were kids. What are you so shy about? Besides, we have similar figures. If it looks good on you, send it to me!"

Aurora Morales hesitated. "I don't think it's a good idea..."

"What's not a good idea? It's a waste to keep it with you. Anyway, your husband doesn't seem interested."

Aurora Morales' eyes wavered, and finally, she took out that pajama. Before going into the bathroom to change, she specifically locked the door.

The sheer - style pajama on Aurora Morales didn't look alluring at all. Instead, she looked ethereal and extremely beautiful. Alessia Rossi could only vaguely see the figure moving and couldn't see clearly. She couldn't help but urge, "Where are you? You're so slow!"

Aurora Morales shouted, "Coming," and had just come out of the bathroom when she heard the door click.

Ricardo Vargas walked in with long strides. The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to stand still for three seconds.

"Ah!"

Aurora Morales panicked and tried to run back to the bathroom, but she hit the door with a thud, and stars appeared in front of her eyes. Ricardo Vargas immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm... I'm okay..." Aurora Morales stammered.

Just then, Alessia Rossi's voice suddenly came.

"Who are you talking to? Is it your husband?"

Aurora Morales: "..."

"Oops, Aurora, I suddenly have something to do here. I'll talk to you later. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I'll come to Westbrook city next week. Remember to pick me up at the airport!" Beep - beep - beep...

Ricardo Vargas asked, "Your friend?"

"Ah? Ah... Yes, my friend." Aurora Morales' long eyelashes fluttered nervously. She pushed Ricardo Vargas away and stepped into the bathroom, but she slipped on the water that hadn't dried on the floor and fell forward uncontrollably.

"Watch out!"

Ricardo Vargas turned into a human cushion and caught her. The two fell straight to the ground. Aurora Morales opened her eyes and found herself in his arms, not hurt at all.

"Are... are you okay? Did you hit your head?"

Aurora Morales was a little anxious and wanted to touch his head, but he grabbed her wrist.

"I'm fine."

"Th - then..."

Before Aurora Morales could finish her words, she felt something strange. Before she could think it over, Ricardo Vargas had already sat up with her in his arms.

Aurora Morales exclaimed, "My god, why are you having a nosebleed!"
