Chapter 294

Kamryn screamed. "What are you doing?"

She watched helplessly as Charlie took off his clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and pulled her into his arms.

The tub was big enough for two people to lie down together and had a massage feature.

However, he was tall with long legs and strong. When he entered the bathtub and took up most of the tub, the water overflowed instantly. vas at a loss for a mome

Kamryn was at a

moment.

In the bathtub with a man, she did not dare to move, not even if it was Charlie.

She felt as if they had never been so intimate before.

Unlike her, Charlie was very calm. He held her in his arms, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wet them. It was very comfortable.

They stared at each other for a while. Finally, his eyes lost the last hint of anger after a period of silence.

"Do you not feel like crying anymore?" he asked in a flat tone, looking down at her.

She was shocked and then realized he had seen her cry. She scrunched up her nose and responded, "I didn't cry. That's ridiculous!"

He raised his eyebrows and didn't pursue this matter.

Then he asked, "Why did you insist on keeping the puppy?"

"Because... I like it."

"Liar," he said calmly. "I know you're kind, but it's not your style to insist on keeping it. Seriously, why do you want to keep it?" Getting a stray dog home was not a big deal. He knew better than to be mad at her for something like that.

What he cared about was that when she held the puppy in her arms, she suddenly cried with a sad, disappointed expression. He was sure it wasn't just because of the dog.

Michelle previously warned that women become very emotional and sensitive during pregnancy, with mood swings and antenatal depression, and asked him to closely watch over Kamryn.

Michelle also said that if he noticed that Kamryn was in a bad mood, he should try to talk to her as much as he could to stop her mood from getting worse.

Since the diagnosis of her pregnancy, Kamryn had been in a relatively stable state of mind, so he didn't pay much attention to the problem until today when she cried without a clear reason. He suddenly recalled the emotional issues that Michelle had cautioned him about during pregnancy and his nerves spiraled.

Kamryn was surprised by this question and didn't know what to say.

But to Charlie, her silence signified another emotional issue that pregnant women faced the act of not wanting to talk.

He raised his eyebrows and didn't continue to question her.

He took the loofah, filled it with shampoo, and rubbed it gently on her back.

When he touched her, she shrank involuntarily, as if she were shy or angry.

But he held her closer and started to bathe her.

He was gentle while bathing her, but a little clumsy because it was his first time helping with this task. Fortunately, he had gained some experience after bathing her a few times during her pregnanev in nem-

The lower back of women during pregnancy often tends to be sore.

In addition, Kamryn was experiencing stiffness all over her body due to spending most of her time sleeping in bed recently.

Charlie's gentle massage caused her to gasp a few times.

"Ouch!"

She was sore and aching, and there were other feelings she didn't know how to describe exactly.

"Does it hurt?" Charlie lowered his head and asked her.

His slender fingers gently pressed on a couple of acupuncture points on her lower back.

He learned this from books to help her. The books said that pressing these acupoints could effectively relieve the pain and soreness in her waist. This was his first time using it, and he wasn't sure about the effect as he watched her face. Kamryn felt uncomfortable when he applied pressure to her acupuncture points and frowned. However, the tenderness and soreness swiftly vanished, and she felt oddly relaxed as if she had been released from restraints.

She widened her eyes in surprise and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. It's quite... comfortable?"

"Really? That's great to hear."

"When did you learn how to give massages? You didn't mention you could massage."

""Not long ago."

Hearing his flat tone, she suddenly remembered that some time ago she had casually complained to him about her lower back pain, but he had said nothing at the time.

'Did he learn how to give a massage for me?'

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Charlie, did you learn this for me?"

He squinted at her as he continued to massage her and asked lightly, "Or for whom?"

Apart from her, who else had the right to be massaged in person by the famous and respected Mr. Franco?

Such treatment was not even given to their child.

Kamryn scrunched up her nose and was moved. "Charlie, why do you treat me so well?"

Charlie was speechless.

He rolled his eyes at her and didn't bother to answer such an idiotic question.

She is the person I love and will be my wife. Of course, I treat her well, he thought.

Kamryn found his expression of disdain amusing. Her tense body slowly relaxed, and she nestled in his arms, trusting and dependent.

She said abruptly. "I wanted to keep that dog because its pitiful look reminds me of my past."

Charlie paused before continuing to wash her. He didn't ask.

His silence was thoughtful and made Kamryn feel at ease and safe. She involuntarily wanted to pour her heart out.

She said slowly. "When I was pregnant with Eugene, I was driven out of the house by my father for some reason... It was a winter night... I had nowhere to go, no money, and no personal papers. I crouched under a streetlight, gazing blankly at the road. Do you know what I was thinking then?"

Without waiting for Charlie to answer, she smiled and said softly, "I was wishing for someone to show up and take me home... Charlie felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Kamryn's voice was calm as if she was simply recounting her own experiences with no sadness in her heart for those sufferings.

But he was heartbroken.

He knew she was still sad even though she didn't reveal it, but she had become accustomed to it.

Her sadness waxed and waned in intensity. Gradually, she let it go.

"But no one was kind enough to help me at that time. Maybe even if they did, I wouldn't dare to leave with them.

"I crouched under the street light for most of the night and caught a bad cold. The cleaner on duty discovered me and took me to the police station. The police called my friend, who took me away."

As she spoke, she hugged her knees with a blank look in her eyes.

"Maybe it's because of this, when I saw the puppy being left alone on the roadside, I felt a surge of empathy. I understand that you don't like pets, and with Eugene in the household, it's not practical to keep a dog. I didn't intend for this to happen... I'm sorry."
