In broad daylight, are they not supposed to be sleeping?
...
Inside the room.
Corinne stood in the center of the room, aimlessly looking around.
This room was Jeremy's bedroom, the same room they used as their fake marriage bedroom before.
The furnishings in the room appeared exactly as they did before she left, without any changes. However, her mindset was different upon returning.
On the side, Jeremy's face showed no emotion as he coldly watched her, commanding, "You smell like disinfectant. Go take a shower and change your clothes!"
Corinne snapped back to reality, lowering her head to examine her attire. She lifted her arm and sniffed her sleeve, indeed detecting the scent of hospital disinfectant.
When she was at the hospital earlier, she already entered the operating room wearing a surgical gown provided by the nurse. Although she was quickly carried out of the operating room by this man, she did not have a chance to change back into her clothes, and the smell of disinfectant lingered.
However, as soon as this man entered the room, he ordered her to take a shower. Doesn't that easily give people the wrong idea?
Corinne furrowed her brows, feeling that staying in the same room with this man left her with nothing to say and was quite suffocating.
It would be good to hide in the bathroom for a while!
Without saying a word to the man, Corinne went directly into the bathroom, locked the door, and filled the tub with water.
She intended to pass the time in the bathroom and hoped that by the time she came out, the man would have something to do outside!
As she soaked in the bathtub, she fell asleep.
No, before she woke up, she was seen! Ah! Damn, she locked the door!
Corinne gritted her teeth, "Mister Jeremy, I just want to take a good bath right now, okay? It's rude and shameless for you to barge in like this!"
The man did not seem to think there was anything wrong with him. "I knocked on the door."
Corinne twitched the corners of her mouth irritably. "After knocking on the door, you can enter the bathroom at will? Mister Jeremy, if it were you taking a shower instead, I knocked on the door and ran in without waiting for your consent. What do you think? Is that okay with you?"
Jeremy said bluntly, "Yes."
Corinne was speechless.
The man narrowed his eyes subtly, and added, "If it's you, you don't have to knock on the door."
