Lindsay touched her stomach and gave an awkward smile.


    “I guess I am a bit hungry, but isn’t it toote? Wouldn’t it be a bother to Erin?”


    Ste got up and said, “Not at all.


    I’ll make a bowl of noodles for you myself.


    ”


    “Then I’ll look forward to a good meal,” Lindsay said cheerfully, linking arms with Ste.


    When they headed downstairs, Matthew was already gone.


    Ste went into the kitchen and quickly prepared a bowl of noodles.

    In the master bedroom, Matthew, having taken a shower, Leaned against the headboard to handle some business.


    Seeing Ste sit down at the dressing table, he got up, embraced her, and ki*sed her cheek.


    “What’s going on with Lindsay?” he asked.


    Ste shook her head and said, “It’s nothing serious.


    She’s just gotten back from abroad and got hurt.


    She’s feeling quite sensitive.


    ”


    Matthew remained silent.


    He extended his hands and gently massaged Ste’s temples.


    “You’ve been busy all day.


    Feeling tired?”


    Ste closed her eyes, feeling rxed, and enjoyed a moment of peace.


    “Just a bit.


    ”


    Suddenly, Matthew asked, “How about I help you with a shower?”


    Ste quickly opened her eyes when she heard this, thinking she must have misheard.

    “What are you saying? I’m grown up.


    I can manage on my own!”


    Matthew yfully tugged at her reddened earlobe and chuckled.


    “You’re my wife.


    Why are you still shy?”


    Ste, speechless, just red at him.


    Matthew chuckled.


    “Rx, I’m just teasing.


    You said you’re tired, right? Let me help you shower so you can rest more.

    He lifted her in his arms and headed for the bathroom.


    “Ah!” Ste was surprised.


    She widened her eyes and said, “Put me down! I’m not tired.


    I can do it myself!”


    Matthew responded casually, “Don’t be shy.


    It’s perfectly normal for a husband to help his wife bathe.


    ”


    This was the first time Ste had heard such an exnation.


    She said with annoyance, “You just made that up, didn’t you?”


    Matthew just smiled.


    “Does it really matter?”


    As he didn’t give her a chance to object further, Ste blushed deeply but allowed him to carry her in silence.


    Just as they were about to enter the bathroom, there was a knock at the bedroom door.


    From outside, Lindsay’s careful voice called out, “Ste, are you asleep?”
