S3| 158. The Wedding Night

“Philip, wait.” Barbara pressed her husband’s chest with a panicked expression. “Please don’t rush. We moved a lot earlier. My body is sticky. We have to shower first.”

Philip’s eyebrows pressed against his forehead. “You want us to do it

in the bathroom?”

He turned towards a door. Barbara pressed his chest again, followed by a light clap.

“That’s not what I mean.” Barbara looked at Philip shyly. “I still have to remove my makeup. You can take a shower first. After that-”

“We do it?” Philip smiled crookedly.

Barbara’s cheeks couldn’t get any hotter. Just being stared at like. that, she felt weak. She could not imagine what would happen

when….

Barbara shook her head, driving the dirty thoughts out of her head. Yeah, let’s do it once we’re both clean and fresh.”

Philip smiled. Gently, he put Barbara down. “I won’t be long.”

Barbara swallowed hard. Then, she hurriedly nodded. “Okay.”

After Philip entered the bathroom, she immediately grabbed onto the wall. Her other hand was fanning her neck. Her whole body felt hot.

Her stomach churned.

“How could Jeremy and Ava do this before getting married? They don’t care about their nerves? They’re really reckless.”

While walking towards the dressing table, Barbara muttered again. But it’s a pity for them too. They can’t feel a sensation like this on

their wedding night.”

A second later, Barbara saw the blush on her own cheeks. In an instant, she held her breath. “Wait. Why am I worrying about other people? I’m like a boiled crab myself here.”

Patting her cheeks, Barbara blinked to ease the awkwardness. “Okay, Barbara. Focus.” Still with a pounding heart, she removed her makeup.

When Philip came out of the bathroom, Barbara’s back straightened again. Her eyes widened. Her blood rippled, tickling all the cells in her body.

Philip only wore a towel around his waist! His muscles were so intimidating with water droplets that weren’t wiped properly.

“Oh my! I married a Greek god!” Barbara screamed in her heart.

“I am done.”

Barbara blinked. She just realized that Philip was so close to her back.

“If you’re finished, why aren’t you wearing clothes yet?” Barbara tried to keep her calmness. However, the movement of her eyes became

even wilder.

Philip furrowed his brows. His strong arm reached out, taking the comb. “Why wear clothes if we need to take them off later?”

Barbara’s breathing became more heavily. “You know that my show takes a long time. You can catch a cold.”

Philip blinked. “You want me to wear clothes? Fine. Where are my clothes? Are they in the closet?”

Philip’s hand moved closer to the towel. Barbara wasn’t ready to see what was behind it. Unable to overcome her pounding heart, Barbara

ran to the bathroom.

“I don’t know. Find out for yourself!” Her vocal cords were twisted.

Seeing her behavior, Philip smiled crookedly. “I was so wrong. I thought you’re a naughty girl, Babe. It turns out, you’re very innocent,” he sighed.

Under the shower, Barbara tried to cool her mind. However, when she

finished showering, her breathing became irregular again.

“Jeez, what’s wrong with me? Why won’t my heart slow down?”

While patting her chest, Barbara looked for her clothes. Apparently, there was a box with her name beside the bathtub. When she opened

it, her eyes almost jumped out.

“What kind of clothes are these?”

Grimacing, she grabbed her phone and stopped the music.

“Sister-in-Law? You said you could prepare everything I need, but why

is my nightgown like this?” Barbara scolded, half whispering.

“Like what do you mean?”

“Like transparent window curtains!”

“You mean lingerie? I didn’t order lingerie. I prepared a couple’s pajamas for you.”

Kara sounded confused. Barbara’s head snapped back. “Then wh prepared this?”

“Did Auntie comment on the nightgown, Mommy? Emily and I bought

Louis’ distant voice stunned Barbara. Meanwhile, Kara asked in a high tone. “You guys bought it?”

“Actually, not really. We just told the hotel staff to decorate the room so that Uncle and Auntie would quickly give us a little cousin. Then, they said they could give them special clothes as a bonus. So, Louis

and I agreed.”

“Did you guys have a chance to see the clothes?” Kara sounded

worried.

“No. They said they could put it directly in the box. Has Auntie opened it yet? Does she like it?”

Barbara sighed in disbelief. “So this is your doing?”

“Yes!” the twins answered innocently.

Barbara massaged her temples. “Okay. Where are the pajamas your mother prepared?”

“We don’t know. Maybe it was kept by the hotel staff so Auntie would wear those special clothes.”

Barbara grimaced in worry. “Sister-in-Law,” she whispered, “how could I possibly wear this? Philip would attack me as soon as he saw it.”

Kara let out a laugh. “Why are you afraid? He is your husband.”

Barbara could tell Kara was walking away from the twins. The volume?

of her voice also decreased.

“People say it hurts at the first time.

“Are you scared because of that?” Kara’s heart tingled. “Don’t wor Philip must have done it carefully. He couldn’t possibly hurt you. A it’s not as scary as you hear from people.”

Barbara bit her lip. “Will I bleed?”

“Maybe yes, maybe not. But even if it does, it won’t be much. That’s normal. If you’re afraid, just assume you’re on your period.”

Barbara was pensive. Her eyes met her own reflection in the mirror.

“I’ll be fine, right?”

“Yes, Barbara. You’re a grown woman. Put on the lingerie and meet your husband. You’ll be fine. The important thing is don’t be too tense.

Barbara nodded. Her mouth let out a quick sigh. “Okay. Thank you, Sister-in-Law. Pray for me.”

As Kara hung up the phone, Barbara couldn’t help but put on the transparent outfit. After wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she went out the door. She walked like a robot.

“Are you done?”

Barbara was petrified. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Philip still not wearing clothes.

“Yeah.”

Instead of going to bed, Barbara sat at the dressing table. She brushed her hair while occasionally checking Philip in the reflection

of the mirror.

The man couldn’t look away from her. His eyes were soft and his expression calm. No words passed their lips until finally, Philip

cleared his throat.

“You want to brush your hair until it’s gray?”

Barbara blinked. With slightly trembling hand, she lowered the brush. from her head to her lap.

“I want to look perfect in front of you, Phil.” Her voice was unstable.

“You’ve always been perfect in my eyes, Barbara, even with your messy hair. Now come here. I have something to talk to you about.”

Seeing Philip pat the other side of the bed, Barbara swallowed hard. With stiff movements, she obeyed her husband’s orders.

“W-what do you want to talk about?”

Philip raised the corner of his lips. “I overheard your conversation earlier. Aren’t you ready to do it tonight?”

Barbara’s eyes widened. Her lips were stiff, her tongue froze. “I….”

All of a sudden, Philip stroked her hair gently. “It’s okay, Babe. If you’re not ready, we don’t have to do it tonight. I can wait until you’re ready. Now, how about we just rest? You must be tired.”

Barbara was stunned. Her blinking was stifled, as was her breathing.” Are you okay?”

Philip nodded. “Yeah. Now sleep. Don’t wear that bathrobe. It will be uncomfortable. And you don’t need to be afraid. I won’t see or attack.”

After kissing Barbara’s forehead, Philip lay down facing the other direction. “Good night, Babe.”

A second later, no more sound could be heard. Barbara’s eyes filled with tears. She could only look at Philip’s back with pity and guilt.
