True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1601

On that magical night, Ernest was a gentlemanly beast.

Leah felt like she had given and taken a lot that night.

They were both very satisfied.

At noon, Ernest was woken up by the phone.

The phone had been ringing non-stop. He held Leah, who was sleeping in a daze. He woke up immediately because of the loud noise.

He shifted slightly and the woman in his arms turned over and asked in a daze, "Who's calling? God, it's so noisy. Can't they let us have some sleep?"

"You go back to sleep, I'll go out to answer the phone." Ernest said softly to Leah as he tucked her back into the quilt. Then, he put on his clothes, grabbed the phone and went out to answer it.

Looking down at the caller ID, he saw that it was his brother, Gary. Ernest slowly shut the bedroom door and headed to the kitchen to answer the call.

"Hey, what's the matter?" "Excuse me, where have you been for the past few days? Shouldn't we be going back to England soon?" Gary's voice rang out from the phone. "Celeste and I are booking tickets for tomorrow. Should we book yours too?"

Ernest was slightly startled. It was too sudden for him to leave like this. "I plan to stay for a few more days. You go ahead with Celeste. I don't want to be a third wheel. It'll be nice for you guys to go back together. It'll be awkward with me there anyway."

"Oh, giving up the third wheel life, are you?" Gary chuckled. "I think you're too caught up in your honeymoon to want to leave. If you can't bear to leave your girl, just say that. Don't use us as an excuse and make it sound like we're the ones bothering you."

"I really don't want to be a third wheel. But it's true that I'm enjoying my time here." Ernest did not conceal anything. "I don't deny either reason."

Gary was surprised. "Does this mean you won't be coming back to England with us?"

"You just go ahead with Celeste. I can go alone. I'll catch up with you guys in a couple days!" The night before, he had already decided to postpone his departure by a few days. He would leave once things got more urgent in England.

"Alright, we won't wait for you then. We'll be booking our tickets today. What are you going to say to Mom?"

"I don't think she'll need me to explain anything. She's dying for me to get married, so I'm sure she'll understand why I'm staying behind." Ernest was not worried at all.

"Mm, okay. I won't bother you anymore now. Celeste and I won't bid you farewell. Don't regret later on and hate us for leaving without you, okay?"

"I won't," said Ernest.

Gary continued, "Since there's not much going on at home, you don't have to rush back. Just continue to bask in your life of love. Although, you'd better not let Sylvia know you've got a girlfriend. You know how she is, she might install a listening device to spy on you."

"Thank you for your advice. I'll be careful. Is Sylvia usually that extreme?" Ernest was a little surprised. His sister was truly the black horse of the family.

"She wants to be a policewoman. Be careful and don't let her hear you, and don't let her know you have a girlfriend." Gary warned again and quickly hung up the phone.

After taking a moment to calm down, Ernest checked his Whatsapp and saw some news about

his classes.

He really had to go back to England soon.

He replied to some messages and decided to take a couple more days off. He really wanted to spend some time with Leah.

After all, that little girl had just transformed into a woman. She was going to need some emotional support. He didn't want to leave at such a crucial time, so he planned to stay as long as he could.

At this time, Leah was lying on the bed. She could hear Ernest's entire conversation. It wasn't very loud, but she could hear most of it pretty clearly.

She didn't expect that he would be leaving so soon, nor did she expect that he would stay a few more days.

Leah was very sad to think about him leaving. But when she thought about how he was staying a few days more just for her, she felt really sweet and warm in her heart.

He was always so thoughtful.

Leah shifted around in bed. She wanted to get up, but her entire body was sore, as if she had broken her bones.

She finally understood that romance novels weren't exaggerating at all when they described the feeling.

Right now, she literally felt like her entire body had gone limp. She had no energy at all, and every part of her was aching.

But, she still insisted on getting up and getting dressed. Before she got out of bed, she was already in so much pain that she was covered with cold sweat. She sat on the bed and gasped.

At this moment, the door opened and Ernest appeared. When he saw that Leah had already sat up, he immediately said, "You haven't gotten enough rest. Sleep for a while more."

"I don't want to sleep anymore." Leah shook her head.

"Are you hungry?" Ernest asked quickly.

Leah looked at him pitifully and said, "I'm hungry, tired and sleepy."

Ernest laughed. She was so adorable when she acted like a spoiled child. "I'll go make something delicious for you. You can go back to sleep once you've eaten, okay?"

"How come you're perfectly fine?" Leah looked at him and asked.

Ernest seemed to be high-spirited and energetic. His face was rosy and his teeth were sparkling. He looked extremely handsome.

She was jealous.

Leah felt like this wasn't fair at all.

Men were so invigorated after sex, while women felt like they had been drained off all their energy.

It was so unfair. She wanted to be a man in her next life.

She would be one heck of a player.

Ernest poured a glass of warm water and handed it over to Leah. "Drink some water first."

She took it from him and felt touched by his care. In one gulp, she downed half the glass and then set it back down on the table. She raised her head to look at Ernest. Her gaze was shifting around, she didn't really dare to look him in the eyes.

Ernest stretched out his hand and poked her on his nose. Then, he said softly, "Lie down for a little longer. I'll call for you once the food is done."

"Wait, don't rush off to the kitchen. I actually heard your phone conversation. Your brother is asking you to go back to England, right?"

"You heard?" Ernest nodded and said, "But I already told him I'll be leaving later. Firstly, it's because I don't want to be the third wheel and follow him and Celeste back. Secondly, I do want to spend a couple more days with you. I have enough time anyway. I can always catch up on classes when I get back, no worries." "Are you sure it's okay? I don't want to be an obstacle in your career." Leah blushed. Hearing this, Ernest burst into laughter. "First of all, you could never be an obstacle. It's just a couple days of classes. Don't worry too much about it."

Leah smiled and said solemnly, "If we're going to be together forever, a few days won't really matter anyway right?"

"Well, I want to spend every day and every night with you," Ernest said openly. Perhaps because their relationship had advanced, he was no longer passive about his emotions.

Leah blushed and said coquettishly, "Your words are so explicit."

"That's because there are other explicit things I'm longing to do."

The two of them flirted back and forth with each other. Each sentence tinged with excitement and lust.

Leah was starting to feel bashful. "Well, thank you for staying back for me. I don't want you to go either."

After their intimate experience, they wanted to stick together to each other like glue.

If they were to separate, it would feel too abrupt. Ernest did not want to leave Leah, and Leah naturally did not want him to do so either.

Since they were in their honeymoon phase, it was only natural that they would want to be around each other all the time.

Eventually, Ernest went to make breakfast for Leah.

Leah got out of bed too.

She dragged her feet from the bedroom to the bathroom. Every step she took sent a surging pain through her body.

Seeing how much agony she was in, Ernest couldn't take it. He came over and picked Leah up into his arms.

"Mmmh!" Leah inhaled sharply and grimaced from the pain. Her forehead was wet with sweat. She looked at Ernest pitifully. "Even if you want to carry me, shouldn't you have given me a heads up? It hurts a lot!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ernest apologized over and over again.

He looked at Leah and felt very distressed.

Seeing the worry and self-blame in his eyes, Leah immediately felt bad. She should not have voiced out her pain.

Leah was a naturally strong and carefree girl. She was very brave, and had a fairly high tolerance for pain. But this time, she really couldn't bear it.

Regardless, she looked at Ernest and laughed. "It's fine, the most painful moment has already passed."

Ernest was stunned for a moment. He instantly knew what she was referring to. She was talking about the night before. Leah had been in so much torment, but she still kept a brave face on.
