She leaned into him and pressed their bodies together. "You are praising me too much, hubby."

"I don't think so, you deserve this praise and deserve for someone who was confessing just now. Don't you think we can do more than this?"

Lila rolled her eyes when she hears his words. Her husband is so very shameless. But Lila wrapped her arms around his neck, and placed gentle kisses there. She wants to continue getting close to him. If the two of them continue getting closer, she no longer has to worry.

Before Lila could think of doing anything else, Haruka suddenly pulled her away from him.

"Ah? What?" Lila said, puzzled.

"Get changed."

Lila immediately turned red when she realized why. 'Oh…'

"I mean, I do like looking at you like this. But it's difficult for me to hold back after seeing your skin."

"Haruka, help me get changed."

Haruka looked away, "Lila, my wife. You're doing this on purpose."

Doing what? Stirring him up? Yes, yes, she is.

He scooped her up in his arms and brought her over to the bedroom next door. Haruka placed her down, he hesitantly pulled the blanket but paused.

"I can't."

"Haruka.."

"That time, I don't know what I was thinking. Why did I touch someone who wasn't you? I can never forgive myself," he mumbled.

'So that's why he looks so depressed these days.' It's like what she thought. "But, I forgive you, Haruka."

"Why?"

"It was painful for me too. And I'll admit I was very angry and hurt. However, I still love only you. People may call me stupid, and who knows in the future, something similar may happen again. Maybe then you would leave me. But, I don't think my feelings will change anymore."

Haruka turned around and sighed. "Honestly, I can't win against you. Is my s.h.i.+rt fine?" Haruka asked.

Lila nodded.

He rummages through the drawer and pulls out a white s.h.i.+rt. Haruka removed the towel from her waist, and Lila noticed something. His gaze seemed to land on her chest and she looked away. "Um, it's not any different."

"You think? Looks bigger."

"Stupid, help me get changed. I'm cold."

At that comment, Haruka snapped out of whatever trance he was in. He quickly slipped the s.h.i.+rt on her and laid her down on the bed.

"I'll bring us to the hospital later. For now, get some rest."

"I want to cuddle and chat."

"Even now, you're still about cuddling and chatting. You know Lila, we're married now. I thought you would ask me for something else."

"Your the one going around making stupid deals. Besides, we already kissed a lot today." Lila mumbled.

If they kiss anymore, it would be bad for her. Haruka cupped her cheeks, and Lila felt the heat returning to her face. 'Why does he keep doing this lately, he keeps looking at her.' She remained utterly frozen, but a gentle expression appeared on Haruka's face.

"I really do love you."

Uh, wait what? What? She didn't expect that. Is this a surprise quiz?

"Why do you keep turning red?" Haruka asked. "I don't mind it, but I'm not doing anything to get you embarra.s.sed."

'Not doing anything?' Why is he still holding her cheeks like this and saying such honest things? When Lila thought about it, she suddenly felt foolish. Haruka is right; why is she acting embarra.s.sed? This is so stupid, and yet, "I'm embarra.s.sed…"

Haruka's gaze softened at her words. He bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Thank you, Lila. You sure you don't want to sleep?"

"Mmm, in a bit. Say, have you been that busy with work?"

"Yeah, but you know it's because we're dealing with that new idol festival."

Haruka caressed her hair, and a content sigh escaped her lips.

"Do you not have enough people?"

"That's right."

"Then, I will help you."

"Mmm, you will? Great," Haruka kissed her lightly. "I will give you the details. You sure you're fine?"

"Ah-huh, I'm a bit curious about the idol board work. I've only attended a few meetings before."

"Well, it's not fun I will tell you that…" Haruka trailed off. "I wonder if it's okay to bring you, it isn't exactly…"

Lila nodded, "I know, rest a.s.sured." He doesn't have to worry. She dealt with such people so many times already. She glanced over and saw Haruka's eyelids drooping. 'He must be exhausted.' Lila tucked the blanket around him; his arms went around her.

"Sorry, going to sleep for a bit."

"It's okay."

Haruka kissed her forehead. "Don't worry anymore, yeah?"

Is that why he didn't go to sleep earlier? Lila felt very bitter. It seems like even now, she causes trouble for people. Her thoughts broke off when Haruka suddenly got on top of her. "Ah, errm?"

"Let's make out until I fall asleep. Wife, you should lead."

This man is so shameless! But if that's what he wants, "Hubby has to get off me. I will go on top."

Haruka chuckled against her lips. "On second thoughts, I will kiss you," he mumbled softly. "Kiss you everywhere and show you. Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, you're the only one I love."

Lila did not understand what it was. But hearing him say such words made her cry again. Fat droplets of water streamed down from her eyes. Why do his honest words make her cry so much? She feels so stupid.
