Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth
Chapter 16: Can I Kiss You?

Seeing this familiar burn wound, Gwenda could not help but recall the memory from her previous life where she had to redress the burns of her own disfigured face. At that time, forty percent of her face had been burned. Every time she had to go to the doctor to redress her burns, she would cry for some time because of the pain. The doctor always comforted her, saying that she just had to bear the pain for a bit.

But she knew that such pain was not something that you could endure just because someone asked you to.

That was why Gwenda soothed Olivier, saying, "If it hurts, you can just let it out." because she could empathise with the pain that came from a burn wound.

Olivier smiled faintly. "Alright."

Thus, Gwenda began the process of redressing his wound. Her face was screwed up in concentration, her movements gentle so as to not cause any unnecessary pain.

Looking down at Gwenda, Olivier felt unconsciously drawn to her.

Under the dim yellow light, her eyebrows were tightly knitted and her eyelashes quivered from movement. Her lips were parted, having forgotten to breathe through her nose in her nervousness. Looking at those pink lips... he really wanted to kiss them.

Olivier's eyes gradually darkened, and his breath went dry.

He wanted to kiss her.

"All done."

Finished with bandaging the wound, Gwenda smiled with satisfaction.

When she looked up, a large hand suddenly caught the back of her head, holding her in place.

Caught off guard, Gwenda found herself staring into those dark eyes in the next second.

Her breath got caught in her throat, and time seemed to stand still.

Olivier stared intently at her with fire in his eyes. His voice was full of temptation. "Can I kiss you?"

Gwenda's heart skipped a beat.

Her face instantly turned red as she stared at him in astonishment.

Her mind was completely blank.

"If you don't answer, I'll take your silence as a yes."

Olivier covered her eyes with his other hand, and in the next moment, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

The simple, chaste kiss gave Gwenda no room to refuse. By the time she returned to her senses, he had already pulled back.

Gwenda slumped down on the carpet, the redness on her face spreading all the way to her ears, and she was still. She felt like she had gone through a catastrophe of sorts. "What's wrong?"

Olivier could not help but chuckle when he saw how she reacted.

Recovering from her shock, Gwenda did not dare to look at him. She covered her mouth and fled once again.

The bedroom door was slammed shut with a bang.

Leaning against the door, Gwenda panted heavily, the sensation of Olivier's lips lingering on hers.

"He actually kissed me!

How could he kiss me?"

Gwenda thought while covering her face, screaming internally at all that had happened.

Outside in the living room, Olivier was still sat on the sofa, gazing at the door that was slammed shut. A smile drifted onto his face.

As he was about to get up and go after Gwenda, his phone rang.

It was a call from Grandma Melanie.

Olivier answered, "Grandmother."

"I heard that you're now living with a girl in order to get together with her?"

Grandma Melanie's teasing tone came from the other end of the line.

Gazing at the door that was tightly shut, Olivier ran his lightly calloused fingers over his lips, savouring the kiss from earlier with a smile as he replied, "Mmhmm." "Not bad, my boy! I always thought you were really bad at this, but it seems like you've got plenty of tricks up your sleeves!"

Melanie laughed ecstatically.

Olivier was speechless at his grandmother's reaction as she continued.

"Otto told me that this girl is pretty. When are you bringing her home to see me?"

"We'll see. It's still too early to tell."

The relationship barely started. This sort of thing could not be rushed.

"You're right. We can't be too hasty lest we scare the girl."

Melanie said and laughed again, "But you better hurry up and get together with her as soon as possible, alright? I want to have a grandson this year, you hear me?"
