The man on the bed closed his eyes, so quiet that he almost didn’t exist.”
Still, he was breathtakingly handsome. His features were deep and defined as if sculpted by hand. Even unconscious, he was striking beyond belief.}
Even better–looking than Justin.
Although Jackson was in a vegetative state, he wasn’t the kind of patient who was neglected.
The old lady had been assigned the most professional care team, meticulous in everything from nutrition and exercise to maintaining his appearance.
So, even after years of being unconscious, he still looked like a sleeping prince, his thin lips slightly pursed, his eyelashes thick. Even lying down, he exuded a compelling presence.}
Francesca crouched down and placed the marriage certificate by the head of the bed.
“I’m your wife now.”
She said softly, as if afraid to disturb him.”
“It was kind of rushed, but I promise I’ll treat you well.“}
“Tonight is our wedding night. We should, you know, try to have a baby.”
“My skills aren’t great, so please don’t blame me.”
I placed my hand over his cold fingers and held them gently.”
The night was still and silent. Emboldened by a bit of wine, I cleared everyone out of the room.}]
Jackson lay there silently, his long eyelashes casting shadows on his pale cheeks.”
His peaceful appearance was the spitting image of Sleeping Beauty and a strange sense of guilt welled up in my heart.
“I am your legal wife, after all,” I whispered. “It’s normal for me to do something to you, right?”
“And it’s Grandma’s wish for us to have a child as soon as possible.”
I felt wronged. “Even if you don’t cooperate, at least give her some face, okay? It’s what the elders want.“@
I looked down at his body, covered by the blanket.
Actually, I had no idea if someone in a vegetative state would have that kind of reaction like a normal person.
But I couldn’t back out now. My face was burning and my heart was pounding like a drum.
“Mm, here I go.”
I cautiously reached out and unbuttoned his shirt at the chest, my fingertips trembling slightly. When I touched his flawless skin, it felt so hot I instinctively wanted to pull back.
“If only you were awake, “I mumbled nervously, leaning closer.
I explored unfamiliar territory clumsily and awkwardly, pressing against him gently, trying to coax out even the tiniest response.}
Until I finally touched a particular spot.
My breath caught instantly.
Then, my heart stopped for a second, too.
Oh my god!!
This is too …M
My ears burned crimson. My hand froze mid–air, afraid to move further, not daring to glance a second time.”
I closed my eyes, mustered courage and yanked the blanket open.
“Quick and decisive,” I muttered.”
Still, the facts proved that things were much more “long–lasting” than I thought.”
My waist and legs soon became sore, but Jackson remained “unmoved.“W
On the verge of tears, I whispered to him, “Could you hurry up?”
…
When I could barely hold on, the person beneath me finally released.}
Afterwards, my limbs were weak and I forced myself to clean up the mess.
Looking at his peacefully sleeping face, I couldn’t help the flare of irritation that rose in my chest. I smacked his lower abdomen hard. “You better have gotten me pregnant on the first try,” I snapped. “If I have to do this daily, I’ll end up with a six–pack!“}
Grumbling, I threw on a nightgown and wobbled along the wall back to the room next door.
Outside, the moonlight spilled like water through the window into the man’s bedroom.
Jackson was on the bed, still had his eyes closed, completely motionless.”
However, the moment the sound of my closing door disappeared, his thick eyelashes suddenly fluttered slightly. Then, it fluttered twice more.”
Even his Adam’s apple twitched almost imperceptibly.
