...He was clearly asking the obvious, and Lana’s cheeks somehow managed to get even redder than before.
Since she wasn’t replying, James was prompted to add, “…As a doctor, I’m sure you know that holding it in for too long can affect my health, right…?”
…That was true, but…
“…Again, I didn’t do it on purpose, plus… You’re hurt, so it’s not like you should do it-”
“It’s not in the way of the injury, so…”
…How on earth had he successfully cornered her like this? How was she even expected to respond?!
With how quiet she had gotten, James couldn’t help but smile as he added, “I was just teasing… No need to get so riled up…”
“…That’s kind of a tall order…”
“I mean, you did get a reaction from me, so it’s only fair for me to tease you back… Jokes aside, let’s get more rest…”
Before Lana could react, he had already pulled her into bed with him! With how close he was, she could already feel her heart rate skyrocketing! Just as she was telling herself that things couldn’t get any worse, James suddenly stared straight into her eyes before asking, “…Hey, can I kiss you…?”
…As much as she wanted to say no to that, the fact remained that they were legally married… But that didn’t mean that she wanted to continue talking about this either! With that, she quickly turned to face the other side while saying, “I-I’m getting some rest first!”
Smiling subtly in response, James then tucked her in before replying, “Good night… Sleep tight.”
Alas, there was no way that she could sleep after all that had just happened… This was going to be an exhausting night, wasn’t it…?
Fast forward to the next day, rays of sunlight could finally be seen again after the past few cloudy days. The landslide had successfully been dealt with, and the injured were finally being sent to the hospital…
James himself couldn’t help but notice that Lana had been staring at him for a while now… So once he was done packing up, he was prompted to ask, “…Is there something you want to say…?”
