Thank you readers!
“It wasn’t easy to coax her to sleep. I can only hope that she can sleep until dawn. Otherwise, it would be torturous if she were to make a scene in the middle of the night. I’ve never let her touch alcohol before. I didn’t expect her alcohol tolerance to be so bad. It seems that I have to keep a close eye on her in the future and not let her touch alcohol easily.”
An ordinary drunkard wasn’t scary, but a professionally trained strongman like Eva could easily lose control of her strength when she was drunk. When she went crazy, it was too scary. Even seven or eight bodyguards might not be able to keep her in check.
Fortunately, Eva was very obedient to Caroline, so she could still coax her.
As soon as Caroline finished her sentence, she saw Edwin squat down and help her change her shoes. Caroline was stunned for a moment. She quickly bent down to stop him. “I’ll do it myself.”
Then, she nimbly threw off her high heels and put on her slippers.
However, Edwin frowned. “Your feet are worn out.”
When Caroline heard this, she looked over and found that her heel had been rubbed red. She said indifferently, “It’s the first time wearing new shoes, so it’s bound to be a little tiring.”
Caroline had been trained in a storm of bullets since she was young. Getting injured was a common occurrence for her. Hence, she automatically ignored the little discomfort of having her feet ground by shoes.
However, when Edwin saw the two red marks on her feet, he frowned. “The people below didn’t take care of the shoes properly.”
It was inevitable that new shoes would rub against one’s feet. Therefore, before they put on the shoes, the servants below would first deal with the edges of the shoes to make them as soft as possible.
This engagement party was very important to Joline, so there shouldn’t be such a careless thing. It was probably because Robert had sneaked into the changing room last night, and Edwin was afraid that he would do something to Caroline’s clothes and shoes, so he decided to change them all. That was why he was so careless.
Caroline stretched out her hand and smoothed out his furrowed brows. “This is just a small matter. You don’t have to be so concerned.”
Edwin shook his head and didn’t say anything. Instead, he lifted her foot and placed it on his knee.
A warm and dry feeling came from her calf. Caroline retracted her foot subconsciously and looked at him in shock. “What are you doing?
“The shoes are not comfortable,” explained Edwin, “I’m afraid it’s very tiring to wear them, so I want to help you massage your feet to relieve your fatigue.
That way, your feet won’t feel uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow.”
Caroline’s toes twitched. “No need to go through so much trouble. I’ll be fine after a hot bath.”
She now had to run 10 kilometers every morning and do two hours of physical exercise. The amount of exercise she did today would not cause muscle soreness at all.
Of course, the main reason was that they weren’t that intimate yet. Caroline felt a little weird to let Edwin massage her feet.
Seeing that Edwin still wanted to persist, she jumped down from the sofa. “Compared to massaging my feet, I’d rather take a bath and then quickly lie in bed to sleep.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Caroline’s eyes fell on the two-meter bed in the middle of the bedroom. She was stunned.
That’s right, they were going to sleep together tonight.
Edwin followed her line of sight and obviously guessed what she was thinking, so he suggested, “I can sleep on the sofa tonight.”
After all, it was their engagement night. If the two of them slept in separate rooms, they would probably attract a lot of gossip. When he thought of the two boxes of condoms that Joline had secretly sent to him, he couldn’t let her see this joke.
Furthermore, Edwin himself didn’t want to be separated from Caroline tonight.
Caroline hesitated for a moment. “I think the bed is quite big. It’s not a problem for two people to squeeze in.”
Edwin was overjoyed, but he still restrained the corners of his mouth. “You don’t mind?”
Caroline scratched her head. “I’m alright.”
After all, on the training ground and on the battlefield, when the conditions were tough, she would often lie down and rest with her comrades.
Although Edwin’s status was slightly different, Caroline convinced herself that they were both men and there was not much difference.
From her reaction, Edwin probably noticed this. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn’t show it. Instead, he said, “I’ve already asked someone to prepare the bathwater. It should be ready now. Put the change of clothes in the basket at the side.”
Caroline covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. “Okay, I’ll go take a shower first..”
