Noah looked at Mia. “You’re awake?”
Mia nodded slightly and went to the bathroom after getting off the bed. Looking at her sleepy self in the mirror, Mia thought of Noah on the plane. Disregarding the danger, he unbuckled his seatbelt and held her in his arms to comfort her. It was like a dream, making it hard to tell if it was real or fake.
This feeling was like a person was about to die of thirst because of a lack of water in the boundless desert, yet he saw a mirage at the moment of his death. Could it be that he was too thirsty, so he was hallucinating? Mia thought absentmindedly.
A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist. Mia felt a lump in her throat and felt a warm and sour sensation rush up her nose.
Mia slowly raised her head and saw Noah in the mirror.
Noah breathed his scent onto her neck, which was exposed outside her pajamas.
Mia trembled slightly at this sudden attack. She did not know if it was because of Noah’s approach or her own fear and unease.
Noah’s warm lips covered her skin, moving little by little until they reached her earlobe. This was Mia’s most sensitive spot.
Noah’s breathing became heavier and heavier, and Mia wasn’t any better. As Noah kissed her most sensitive spot, Mia also felt her breathing become hurried.
Noah said in a low and hoarse voice, “Mia, do you know that I was so glad that we were together on the plane just now?”
Mia looked up at Noah with a look of disbelief in her eyes. Noah acted completely different, making Mia’s heart skip a beat. Then she turned and saw the two people in the mirror. Noah’s focused gaze on Mia was as if they were lovers who had been in love for years.
Mia stood there in a daze as she looked at Noah quietly. Mia felt that she was intoxicated. Perhaps, she and Noah were really connected at this moment?
Noah, who was beside her, watched as Mia’s rosy lips opened and closed seductively like flower petals, but he did not say a word. He felt that there was a boundless temptation that he could not extricate himself from.
So Noah didn’t wait for Mia’s response. He began to lower his head slightly to get closer to Mia before gently kissing her lips.
This was the first time in years that Noah had been so gentle with her.
Mia was intoxicated by Noah’s gentleness, and this time, she wasn’t struggling.
Noah saw that Mia didn’t struggle the way she had the previous few times, so Noah kissed Mia’s lips again and again while sucking all of her scent away.
The two of them embraced and kissed each other passionately.
The dinner that night was a very ordinary steak with fries and seafood fried rice.
The meal was ordered into the room, so for the first time, Mia had a chance to lie on Noah’s lap and enjoy the top-notch “service” she’d never enjoyed before.
Noah cut the steak into a very small piece and carefully fed it to Mia. “How does it taste?”
Mia nodded.
Noah stared at Mia’s smiling face, as if he was in a trance. His body slowly leaned down.
Mia, trying to move away, tilted her head to the side, but Noah was already on top of her. “Let me try and see how it tastes.”
But Noah was pushed away by her before he could even touch Mia’s lips.
Mia covered her mouth and ran to the washroom to vomit.
Noah did not know what had happened. He also stood up hurriedly and ran to the washroom to see Mia.
Mia felt a little better after throwing up. It should be the steak, Mia thought. Her body had been getting weaker and weaker since she was pregnant, especially after taking the medication to suppress her pregnancy reaction.
Mia stood up and saw Noah beside her. He looked at her with an anxious and worried expression while holding a glass of water in his hand as he waited for Mia.
At this moment, Mia’s eyes were filled with tears. In Noah’s eyes, she was simply pitiful. Noah felt that his heart was about to melt.
He went forward to hug Mia and asked with concern, “What happened? I’ll call the doctor over to take a look. Is there a problem with the steak?”
As soon as Mia heard that he was going to call for a doctor, she was a little flustered. Her voice was still slightly choked as she hurriedly said, “I’m fine. Maybe I just got here and isn’t quite used to it. I’ll be fine after taking a break.”
Seeing that Mia was so insistent on not finding a doctor, Noah did not force her anymore.
He carried Mia to the bed, covered her with a blanket and forced her to rest quickly. Then, he sat by the side and accompanied Mia to sleep.
Actually, this time, not only did he bring Mia on a trip, he also had some work arrangements. In order to quickly end work and be able to accompany Mia, Noah waited for Mia to fall asleep before gently tucking her in and hurriedly going to the study to settle his work.
Mia hadn’t actually fallen asleep. She’d only pretended to be asleep because she was worried Noah wouldn’t be able to work. When Noah left, Mia’s mind began to srace. Everything that had happened today should have been prepared by Noah. She didn’t know what Noah meant. Although her plans for today had been unexpectedly ruined in the end, Noah’s series of gentle actions had already shaken Mia’s firm heart.
Mia began to guess what Noah meant. Did he like her? Mia didn’t dare to think that way. After all, Noah had always been dismissive of her all these years.
However, regardless of what Noah meant, Mia only felt joy in her heart. Today was the first time Mia knew that with someone she liked, even the most ordinary fries were the most delicious thing in the world.
They shared the same fries and shared the same steak. These small actions made Mia incomparably excited. She had a crush on Noah since she was an ignorant young girl. Now that she was married, she was still attracted to Noah as usual. Being liked by Noah had always been Mia’s dream. Now that she seemed to have finally gotten what she wanted, how could Mia not be excited?
The result of her imagination running wild caused Mia to sleep until 10 am the next morning. When she woke up, there was no one else on the bed. She got up and saw a note on the table beside the bed. It was Noah who had left it. “If you’re not feeling well, sleep more. Remember to call room service for lunch. I’ll be back at three in the afternoon.”
After reading the note, Mia looked up at the time. It was already noon, so she called the hotel’s food service.
As she washed up, Mia looked up and saw that the person in the mirror had eyes as bright as jewels. Mia looked at herself in the mirror and for the first time, she could see happiness in her smile. So this was what happiness felt like.
Mia was reminded of Noah’s gentleness yesterday, so she reached out and gently touched her stomach. Baby, do you also feel your mother’s happiness? Is your father also looking forward to your arrival?
Beside the bathtub, there was the shirt Noah had changed out of yesterday. There was sauce on the sleeve from last night, and there were black stains. She must have gotten up when she was feeling unwell yesterday and smeared the steak on Noah’s clothes.
Hence, Mia reached out to take the clothes, placed it at the tip of her nose, and sniffed lightly. It was Noah’s scent.
Then, she filled the basin with water, took out soap, and gently applied it on the stain before carefully rubbing it…
Actually, this was the first time Mia had ever washed Noah’s clothes. Noah’s clothes had been taken care of by professionals, or sent to a dry cleaner, or many clothes were abandoned after only being worn once. So there was only one shirt. Mia washed it for a full hour until this white shirt became as white as new.
Mia wore a gentle smile on her face as she began to hum a song. “Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young? You were like a flower that never drifted away. You accompanied me through the wind and rain, watched the changes in the world, watched the vicissitudes of life… Let’s go, let’s go, let’s find a home for our hearts. Let’s go, let’s go. It’s hard to avoid painful struggles. Let’s go… let’s go…”
Noah returned punctually in the afternoon. When he gently opened the door, he saw Mia, who was taking a nap on the bed. At this moment, the curtains in the bedroom were pulled open, and sunlight reflected in. Mia, her entire body emitting a brilliant glow, seemed to be bathing in the sunlight.
Noah was instantly awed by Mia. He walked forward and looked at Mia’s sleeping face, like sleeping beauty’s. He could not bear to disturb her.
However, ever since she got pregnant, Mia’s sleep had become very light. When Noah pushed the door open, Mia woke up. She just didn’t open her eyes and wanted to wait for Noah to call her. However, Noah stared at her for a long time and didn’t wake her up. Hence, Mia could only open her eyes herself.
“Do you want to go out for a walk?” Noah asked with a smile when he saw Mia wake up.
Mia nodded and got up to change her clothes before walking towards the elevator.
When they reached downstairs, there were people coming and going. For the first time, Mia was afraid and curious as she walked on a foreign street. She kept looking around. She did not know when it started, but Noah’s hand held onto Mia tightly. By the time Mia realized it, the two of them had already walked several streets hand in hand.
When they passed by a movie theater, Mia stopped in her tracks. In all these years, the two of them had never watched a movie together. In the first two years of their marriage, Mia had even thought of watching a movie together with the two of them. However, Noah was so busy every day that he did not even have time to talk to her. Hence, Mia had always kept this plan in her mind. When she saw the movie theater today, this desire was reignited.
At the side, Noah saw that Mia kept staring at the movie theater’s poster, so he asked, “Do you want to watch it?”
Afraid of making Noah unhappy, Mia subconsciously shook her head slightly.
Noah felt that it was funny. She clearly looked like she wanted to see it, but she still shook her head. Hence, he asked with a smile, “Do you want to see it or not?”
Mia looked up to see Noah laughing at her, then smiled sheepishly and nodded..
