Chapter 951 Please Give Me a Clean Bill of Health
So, Isabella quickly cut in, "Hey, it's getting late. You should head out. I'm beat!"
She let out a very convincing yawn.
Leon gave her a half-smile and said, "Yeah, I'm tired too. We should hit the sack."
Isabella was taken aback. 'Wait, is he planning to crash here?'
Then, Leon reached out and turned off the light.
The room went pitch black, and Isabella immediately shouted, "Why'd you turn off the light?"
"To sleep!" Leon replied, then leaned in and kissed her.
All of Isabella's protests got swallowed up.
His kiss was even more intense and breath-stealing than before, his embrace even hotter. Isabella tried to resist but was completely overwhelmed by his passion.
In the darkness, their heavy breathing filled the air.
After everything settled down, Isabella, feeling sore all over, heard a voice in her ear. "Still think I need a check-up? Am I really impotent? Need to give me a clean bill of health?"
Isabella stayed silent. She was too wiped out to argue. Her whole body ached, and she just wanted to sleep. Even her eyelids felt too heavy to lift.
In the night, seeing her curled up like a kitten under the blanket, completely defenseless, Leon's lips curled into a wickedly satisfied smile. He kissed her cheek and wrapped his arms around her waist, closing his eyes.
When Isabella woke up, it was already late morning, and Leon was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking about last night, Isabella's face turned red again. She curled up under the blanket, inhaling the scent he left on the pillow.
Lost in thought for a few seconds, Isabella glanced at the clock on the wall and saw it was already ten o'clock. She suddenly sat up.
How did she sleep in this late? She definitely going to be late for work.
Isabella quickly grabbed her phone and called Susan. She decided to take the morning off; it would probably be almost noon by the time she got to the office.
"Susan, I have something to do this morning, so I can't..." Isabella said into the phone after Susan answered.
Halfway through, Susan interrupted with confusion, "Didn't Leon already ask for leave for you?"
Hearing this, Isabella was stunned. "You said Leon asked for leave for me?"
Why didn't Leon tell her?
"Isabella, what's going on? Leon called me early this morning to say you had something to do and needed to take half a day off. Last night, you two..." Susan trailed off, but a faint mischievous laugh could be heard.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Isabella said, feeling guilty.
"Hey, did you verify your suspicions last night?" The clever Susan seemed to have figured out what had happened.
Isabella and Susan shared everything, and she often teased Susan. Now it was her turn to be teased.
"You guessed right." Isabella decided not to hide it.
She grabbed her hair in frustration, thinking she had been so foolish. She thought Leon was impotent just because he didn't make love with her, and now he had taken advantage of her.
Hearing this, Susan was floored. "Really? So, what's the verdict? He wasn't really impotent, was he?"
For some reason, Isabella should've found it hard to say, but now she wanted to clear Leon's name. She didn't want people thinking her man was impotent.
"Listen up, I'm only saying this once. Don't ask me again. I checked last night. He's not impotent, and he's very strong and vigorous. I couldn't even get out of bed this morning!" Isabella said, feeling a bit frustrated at the end.
"What?" Susan exclaimed on the other end.
Isabella quickly hung up, then wrapped herself in the blanket, feeling so embarrassed.
Even though she felt embarrassed, the memories of last night still played in her mind like a slideshow.
At thirty, she finally felt the happiness of being a woman.
Last night, although he started with a hint of punishment, he later became exceptionally gentle, with a passion that was not lacking. Isabella hid under the blanket, reminiscing about the tender moments of last night.
Suddenly, a text message came in.
Isabella picked up her phone and opened it. It was from Leon.
Leon: [Are you up? Seeing you sleep so soundly, I asked Susan for leave for you. Breakfast is ready, remember to eat.]
Seeing this message, Isabella smiled foolishly.
She held her phone and smiled for a long time. Suddenly, another text message came in, also from Leon.
Leon: [I forgot to use contraception last night. I bought you some pills. Remember to take them after breakfast.]
Seeing this message, Isabella frowned and looked up. Sure enough, there was a box of pills on the bedside table.
Isabella reached out and picked up the box. It was emergency contraception.
Seeing this, Isabella's heart sank.
What did he mean? Was he afraid she would get pregnant and make him take responsibility?
Instantly, Isabella's good mood vanished.
The emergency contraception in her hand felt heavy, and Isabella's brows furrowed.
Leon was indeed a meticulous man, thinking of even this.
Isabella then got up to wash. She didn't dare to think too much because it would make her sad. She could only comfort herself in her heart.
After all, they had just started dating. It wasn't the right time to have a kid. Although Leon's rationality was heartbreaking, his decision was correct. Having a kid would mean considering marriage, and they were still far from that.
To reassure Leon, Isabella replied: [Okay.]
Isabella was also a very proud person. She didn't want Leon to think she wanted to get pregnant to tie him down.
In the afternoon, when Isabella walked into the office, Susan pulled her into the office for questioning.
"I guess you're quite satisfied with Leon this time?" Susan looked at Isabella, whose face was flushed.
Isabella smiled shyly. "You're here to get back at me, aren't you?"
"I've been waiting for this day to get my revenge!" In the past, only Isabella teased Susan, and Susan never had the chance to tease her.
"Alright, say whatever you want. I'm listening." Isabella pulled up a chair and sat down.
