Chapter 468 Are You Still in Pain? (Part 2)
The lights were low, and Chloe was staring at Andrew.
Andrew leaned on one arm, letting her take him in. After a bit, she gently ran her finger down his nose, tracing his handsome features slowly.
She felt Andrew's body tense up a little.
Chloe chuckled softly and whispered, "Didn't know a guy's nose was off-limits."
Andrew's eyes darkened, "Good to know."
Not wanting to push her luck, she got up quietly, but a warm sensation spread from her lower abdomen.
Andrew supported her and asked softly, "You feeling okay?"
Chloe murmured, "It's only been two days, and it's a bit much."
Andrew grabbed a pillow for her, went to the bathroom to adjust the water temperature, and brought her pajamas. Then he carried her to the bathroom.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "I can handle it myself."
Andrew teased, "You really are a hypocrite."
Chloe laughed, pressing her ear to his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Andrew set her down and said seriously, "I won't help you undress, or you'll say I'm taking advantage of you."
After he finished speaking, he left the room like a gentleman.
Chloe didn't want him to stay either; it wasn't appropriate to be seen in her current state.
She took a hot shower, feeling much better, and as soon as she came out, she smelled medicine.
Andrew was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through the news on his phone. Seeing her come out, he waved, "Come over and drink this while it's hot."
Chloe sat down next to him, frowning slightly, "What is it?"
"It's for relieving menstrual cramps," Andrew said gently.
Chloe clung to his arm, reluctant to drink it. "It looks so bitter!"
Andrew picked up the cup to feed her. She dodged, her long hair brushing against his face. Andrew chuckled, gently pinching her chin, half coaxing and half forcing her to drink it.
After drinking, her eyes were teary. "You might as well not have come! You just force me!"
Andrew took a candy from his pocket, slowly unwrapping it.
Chloe looked at it eagerly.
Then she took it, putting it in her mouth, tasting the sweetness.
Andrew stroked her hair and whispered sweet nothings to her, "How did I force you? I clearly wanted it, but barely touched you."
Chloe's cheeks flushed and thought, 'He is really shameless!'
Andrew kissed her, then draped a blanket over her, "Don't catch a cold! I'm going to take a shower."
Soon, the sound of water came from the bathroom.
Chloe picked up her tablet to watch a show, listening to the sounds from the bathroom, and muttered softly, "Two showers a day! So particular."
After saying that, she felt a bit dazed, raising her hand to look at the diamond ring on her finger.
She didn't know if they were both giving too much in this relationship, but she thought, as long as she and Andrew were happy now, that was enough.
The next morning, Chloe snuggled in Andrew's arms. Even after many years, she still liked to sleep with her head resting in the crook of his arm, one hand resting on his lower abdomen.
There was a knock at the door.
Chloe was woken up and grumbled, "Who?"
Andrew lightly bit her delicate neck, "It's Nathan!" As he spoke, he sat up.
Chloe was quite surprised. As Andrew was getting dressed, she hugged his waist from behind, asking softly, "Why is he here? Do you really have a project in Nocturna City?"
Andrew patted her hand and said hoarsely, "I have a project to check on today. I'll be back by evening!"
He was afraid she would be upset, "Just one day! I'll spend the next few days with you and the kids!"
Chloe teased, "So you didn't really miss me, huh?"
Andrew fastened his belt, then turned around and pinned the playful Chloe onto the white pillow.
Before she could react, he kissed her.
The kiss was quick and urgent, a bit rough but very satisfying. Chloe blushed and lightly pushed against his shoulder, "Nathan's still outside!"
Andrew chuckled and kissed her neck again.
He went to open the door and had a quiet chat with Nathan in the living room.
Chloe didn't get up until ten in the morning, lounging in bed.
After a while, Andrew and Nathan went to the next room.
When he came back, he brought breakfast and the same bitter medicine from last night. Chloe refused to drink it, saying she hadn't brushed her teeth yet.
"Drink it first, then brush."
She still acted spoiled.
Andrew placed the medicine on the bedside table, then hugged her with the blanket, brushing her hair aside.
He kissed her gently and whispered, "I brushed it for you."
Chloe thought he was so skilled. Then she thought, he probably learned these tricks from other women, feeling a bit jealous but didn't say anything, just lightly bit his neck to vent.
Andrew went to check on the kids and gave the nanny some instructions before leaving.
When he was around, Chloe found him annoying. When he left, she felt the emptiness around her. Chloe pressed her face against the white pillow, took a selfie, and sent it to Andrew: [Andrew, I miss you!]
Just as Andrew got into the car, he received a message from Chloe on Facebook.
He looked at it carefully for a long time, smiled, and put his phone away.
Nathan leaned over and said, "It must be from Chloe."
Andrew leaned back in the seat, looking composed.
Nathan smiled mysteriously, "How did you make up last time?"
Andrew glanced at him and said slowly, "Chloe doesn't want me to talk about it."
Nathan chuckled.
Chloe got up at nine-thirty, quickly got ready, and went to the set.
As soon as she arrived, her assistant complained, "That Nina is too much! She has a few scenes today, including some with you, and she actually took two days off!"
Chloe frowned.
Nina took time off?
Andrew left, and she took time off too. Such a coincidence?
She thought about it but didn't message Andrew. She trusted Andrew.
However, Chloe had another thought, 'If Nina really follows him, then the crew won't tolerate her anymore. Winning awards, becoming a big star, none of that is more important than Andrew.'
Chloe figured it out and felt relieved.
In the evening, the weather forecast said there would be a Category 4 hurricane in nearby cities.
Chloe was worried about Andrew traveling back and forth.
She called him and said, "The wind is too strong; it's not safe on the road. Andrew, come back tomorrow."
Andrew wouldn't risk his life. He had just returned from the project site, and Nathan had booked two rooms.
Andrew stood by the window, looking at the strong wind outside, and said softly, "Okay! You stay safe too. Check on Gavin and Natalie at night; Natalie always kicks off the blanket."
Chloe murmured in agreement.
Even though they were often apart, at that moment, she missed him especially.
She said softly, "I'm hanging up now, you rest early."
Andrew couldn't help but say, "I'll head back as soon as the wind stops in the morning."
He wanted to get back to the hotel and spend some time alone with her before she went to the set.
Chloe understood his meaning, her cheeks flushing, "No need! We're not newly in love."
"Are you tired of me?" Andrew was still joking with her when there was a knock at the hotel door.
