Chapter 48 She Teased Her husband
Teresa turned her head to look at him, and Hubert was looking at her too. The couple looked at each other.
After a long time, Hubert flicked her forehead and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Are you doubting the authenticity of my words? Teresa, as long as Leila is reasonable, we will stand up for her and defend her!"
The Donovan family had a very good family tradition, and all the husbands and their wives in the family were loving couples. He had never seen a man in the family bully his wife since he was a child.
His father said that a man who bullied his wife was not a good man!
"Hubert."
"Um."
Teresa asked tentatively, "I want to lean on your shoulder."
Hubert hesitated.
"I'll just lean on it, and I won't take too much advantage of you." When Teresa rested her head on his shoulder, she could feel his stiffness for a moment. She was not used to it, but she just wanted to find someone to rely on at the moment.
It felt so good to have a backer!
Hubert froze for a while before relaxing his nerves. Although he didn't like her approach, he didn't push her away. But his hands seemed at a loss and he didn't know where to put them. Teresa was amused by his awkwardness.
She suddenly touched his face with her hand.
Hubert bounced off instantly.
Fortunately, Teresa was mentally prepared. Otherwise, when he would suddenly bounce away, she would certainly fall to the side.
"Teresa!" Hubert said seriously, "Please always remember the content of our agreement. Don't cross the line!"
Teresa was in a good mood when she saw his righteous attitude. She leaned back on the back of the chair and slowly drank the glass of water he just poured for her. When she drank the water, she was still looking at him with big bright eyes.
Under her gaze, Hubert blushed. Maybe his face flushed. He found his face a little warm.
"Hubert, you're thirty years old. You never had such intimate contact with a woman, right? I just touched your face, and your reaction was so intense. Others would think I've done something to you." Teresa teased.
She thought to herself. [Grandma's eagerness to urge marriage made sense. For a man like Hubert, if there was no pressure from the elders in the family, he would remain single forever."
Still, it was fun to tease him. When she touched his face, his reaction was so big. If she boldly kissed him, how would he react?
Hubert glared at her hard.
Teresa was in a good mood. She ignored his stare and smiled, "Hubert, if you think it's a loss for you, how about you touch my face and get back at me? You can touch it twice."
Hubert felt speechless.
He admitted that his reaction just now was too intense. When she quietly leaned on his shoulder, he felt strange in his heart. But before he could analyze what kind of state of mind it was, she touched his face and startled him. He had thought she would go further.
Hearing her teasing words, Hubert was angry. But with his self-cultivation, he didn't want to argue with her. He complained in his heart, [what a naughty girl!]
"Are you in a good mood now?"
"Well, not bad, much better than before." Hubert gritted his teeth and said, "You're building your happiness on someone else's pain."
"Hubert, you're exaggerating."
Hubert was speechless.
Staring at her for a moment, Hubert said lightly, "It's very late. Go back to your room to rest early. Don't fall asleep here again. It's cold at night. If you catch a cold, you will suffer."
With that, he turned and walked away. Soon, Teresa heard the sound of him closing the door and locking it.
Teresa smiled and muttered, "You're locking the door. Who are you guarding against?"
Hubert thought to himself, [It's you!]
Back in the room, Hubert went to the bathroom. He didn't take a shower in a hurry, but stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He was still blushing. It seemed he had blushed just now.
Raising his hand and touching his face, he rubbed the place Teresa had touched a few times, recalling how he felt when she touched him. Her hand was soft. When she touched his face, it felt like a gust of wind passing by.
Turning on the faucet, Hubert washed his face.
Thinking of his reaction just now, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself, "Since I could remember, I have never let others touch my face."
When he grew up, he was so serious and cold, and no one dared to touch his face. Besides, he was always surrounded by bodyguards, and it was difficult for young women to approach him. Even if some girls wanted to take advantage of him or threw themselves at him, they wouldn't have the chance.
A thief from within was hard to guard against
He hadn't expected that Teresa would touch her the first time, but she was his legal wife. When she touched him, he couldn't do anything to her. He had even reacted too strongly that she had teased him.
After a while, Hubert, who had taken a shower, remembered the woman on the balcony, and he opened the door and went out. He took a step and stopped because he had not put on his nightgown. If he went out topless, that naughty girl would be happy.
It took a few minutes for Hubert to put on a nightgown and cover himself tightly. Then he walked out of the room with confidence and went to the balcony to see the woman. He was afraid she fell asleep on the swing chair again.
As expected, she fell asleep. Hubert was angry and amused. He had specifically told her not to fall asleep here.
He kicked the swing chair, made the chair swing, and the woman on the chair woke up, "Hubert? Is it dawn?"
Seeing her sleepy and cute face, Hubert somehow wanted to knock her on the head.
"You fell asleep here. Get up quickly, and go back to your room. I reminded you just now, but you still fell asleep here. If you want to feed the mosquitoes, I can move you to the green belt outside to sleep."
Teresa nodded and stood up. Hearing his words, she muttered, "You have a sharp tongue, but your heart is still soft."
Hubert fell silent. This was the first time someone had said he was soft-hearted.
Teresa was very sleepy and went back to the room without saying anything more to him. After taking a bath, she fell asleep. The night was quiet.
The next day, when Hubert woke up, the couple's breakfast was ready, and his wife was watering the flowers on the balcony.
He went out.
"Hubert, morning." Teresa greeted him with a smile.
Hubert nodded in response.
Teresa continued to water the flowers, and many roses bloomed today, "The roses will cover the balcony. It will be beautiful when the flowers bloom."
Hubert remembered that there were a lot of roses planted in front of the Donovan Manor. When the flowers were in full bloom, they were really beautiful. But probably because he had seen them too often, he had never stopped to appreciate those roses at the door. There were also many roses planted in the family's garden, but he had rarely gone to see them either.
