Christopher continued to dry his hair silently.
The noise of the dryer made Janice flustered. She didn't know what Christopher was thinking of. Did he care at all?
However, she had to tell him the truth.
Hence, she grabbed Christopher's hand, turned off the hairdryer, and looked him in the eyes.
"Please listen to me. I know I hid my family drama from you, but I realize now that it was unfair to do that."
"I have said that our marriage was a temporary expedient. Because I got married so suddenly, my father's company couldn't get support from our potential business partner. So things became complicated. The emotional stress elevated his blood pressure and then he was taken to hospital. Today I went to see him, and I suddenly realized how old he's gotten. I used to think that he was too strong to need me. "
"But today when I saw him, I realized that I was wrong. As a child, even if he wasn't a good father, I still couldn't ignore him because he is my biological father. So I made an appointment with an entrepreneur I interviewed before. However, I didn't expect him to be such a shameless person."
After Janice finished, she felt much more relieved.
In fact, she had been struggling in the past few days.
"Christopher, I'm sorry. I should have told you these things earlier."
She lowered her head and confessed.
However, Christopher wasn't surprised at all.
In fact, he had already known these things. He pretended not to know because he wanted to hear it from her mouth.
This meant that she was willing to trust him.
Christopher was gratified to hear that.
"You haven't done anything wrong except forget to tell me sooner."
Janice didn't expect Christopher to say that. She had thought that Christopher would be very angry rather than so calm.
In fact, she didn't forget to tell him. Rather, she was afraid that he would be scared away by her family.
She opened her mouth and did not know what to say.
"Sorry. I won't hide it from you anymore."
Christopher stroked the messy hair on her forehead and said, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep."
"So, wasn't he angry?"
Janice went back to her room in a state of confusion.
That night, the couple slept in their respective rooms.
The next morning, Janice got up early.
She hovered in the doorway of Christopher's room and hesitated before knocking.
Actually, when she chose to tell the truth last night, she was prepared to take the consequences.
Even if Christopher wanted to get a divorce, she should accept it.
To her surprise, Christopher didn't say anything last night.
However, it was because he did not clarify his position that she felt very anxious.
She hesitated for a long time before finally knocking on the door.
"Christopher, are you up? May I come in?"
She heard no response, so she gently pushed the door. The room was unlocked.
She easily opened the door. When she walked in, she didn't see Christopher. Instead, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
"Is he in the bathroom?"
Janice hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door of the bathroom. "Christopher, are you inside?"
Soon, the sound of water stopped, and Christopher opened the door a crack.
The steam from inside made it difficult to see clearly.
"Fetch me a bath towel from the wardrobe."
...
Christopher's voice came from inside.
Janice paused for a moment. Then she turned around to fetch a bath towel from the wardrobe and handed it over.
A few moments later, the door opened again, and Christopher walked out with a bath towel around his waist.
His upper body was naked.
Janice turned around subconsciously.
Christopher saw Janice's embarrassment and couldn't help teasing her.
He hugged Janice from behind and rubbed his chin against Janice's ear.
Suddenly, Janice was surrounded by a warm body.
She immediately froze and stood there, not knowing how to react.
Especially at this moment when her relationship with Christopher was still quite awkward.
"Christopher... let go of me first."
She said with her face flushed.
Christopher stared at her reddened ears and then let go of her.
Janice immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn't dare to look back at Christopher and said weakly, "I'll wait outside. Put on your clothes and I want to talk to you."
She hurriedly ran out of his room.
Staring at her figure, Christopher chuckled. Then he turned around to the wardrobe and changed his clothes.
When he came out, he saw Janice nervously sitting on the sofa.
The moment she saw him, Janice deliberately moved aside.
Christopher noticed her uneasiness and sat down beside her.
Janice's heart was in her mouth again when Christopher sat right next to her. She could feel his gaze on her, even without looking at him.
Then, she said, "Christopher, what do you think about what I said last night?"
"What words?"
Christopher frowned.
Janice bit her lip, then said, "I mean the situation of my family. If... if you think it's
too much..."
"It's not."
Christopher interrupted her.
Janice confusedly stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
Now Christopher understood why she acted so weird earlier. He couldn't help rubbing the top of her head in resignation.
"I told you not to overthink things. You're doing it again."
"I..."
Janice was about to explain that she just wanted to know his real thoughts. However, Christopher's phone suddenly rang. He got up and went to answer it.
Janice could only swallow her words.
"Well, I'll ask him later." Janice thought.
As soon as she went to the bedroom, the doorbell rang.
Janice glanced at Christopher who was answering the phone. She hesitated for a moment and went to open the door.
She opened the door and saw a strange man standing outside with a food bag in his hand. She asked confusedly, "Who are you?"
Rob was surprised when he saw Janice. Mr. Bateman had called him to send something over.
He did not expect to see Janice open the door.
As he was thinking about how to explain, Janice remarked, "You're the delivery man, right? Leave it to me. Thank you."
Janice reached for the bag.
Rob Hanson hesitated for a moment then he handed over the takeout. Just as he was about to say something, Janice closed the door.
Rob stood there speechlessly.
Janice placed the bag on the dining table and opened it. She found it was quite sumptuous, she felt warm in her heart. "Christopher is quite considerate."
Before she could unpack the takeout, the doorbell rang again.
She went to open the door and found that it was still the person who had just delivered the takeout. Confused, she asked, "Did I miss something?"
