Chapter 896 Tempting Him to Commit a Crime
Thinking about his underwear in Jane's hands, Zephyr couldn't help but swallow, his ears turning red.
Back at Hchilia Hospital, Jane had washed his clothes too.
But back then, he was too distracted by his hand to care.
Now, in his home, just the two of them, Jane was washing his underwear.
They had almost hooked up earlier.
The whole scene felt way too intimate.
"Did you hang it on the balcony?" Jane asked.
Snapping back to reality, Zephyr watched her approach, trying to stay calm.
"Who asked you to wash my clothes?"
Jane glanced at him. "It's not like I haven't washed your underwear before. Why so fussy?"
Zephyr was speechless.
Alright.
Facing Jane, he was being fussy.
If Jane wanted to wash, let her wash.
Zephyr sat on the couch watching TV, ignoring her.
"Zephyr, do you have new towels and toiletries?" Jane asked after hanging the clothes.
Zephyr appeared to be watching TV, but he was actually listening to her.
Hearing this, he turned slightly. "What do you need those for?"
Jane replied, "Didn't you say I smelled? I told you I wanted to use your bathroom to wash up."
Zephyr was speechless.
Jane was serious?
Zephyr was momentarily stunned.
Jane raised an eyebrow. "Do you have them or not? If not, I'll just use yours."
"I have them."
Zephyr snapped back, quickly getting up to fetch new toiletries for her.
"I ordered a local delivery. Can you help me receive it later?" Jane added.
Zephyr was still somewhat distracted.
He responded with a hum, not asking what it was, and went to get her the new toiletries.
"Thanks."
Jane took the toiletries and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Hearing the sound of running water, Zephyr's Adam's apple bobbed as he began pacing in the living room.
He thought, 'Is Jane planning to move in with me?'
'I am a normal man, with normal reactions.'
'Why isn't she afraid I will make a move on her?'
Zephyr's mind was in turmoil.
He paced back and forth, wondering whether he should go with the flow and make love to her or just pretend.
Before long, the doorbell rang.
He went to open the door; it was the local delivery.
Zephyr was curious about what Jane had ordered.
He glanced at the label.
Seeing the words "women's underwear," Zephyr felt the package in his hand become hot.
His mind flashed back to Jane's last mission, where she posed as a nightclub girl in a sexy bodycon dress, hugging him.
Zephyr couldn't help but feel parched.
He gulped and ran to the kitchen to pour himself a large glass of cold water.
Soon, Jane's voice came from the bathroom.
"Zephyr, did the local delivery arrive?"
Zephyr steadied his racing heart and replied, "It did."
"Can you open it and hand it to me?"
Jane wanted him to open the package for her!
Zephyr's Adam's apple bobbed again.
He responded, opened the package, and took out two pairs of underwear.
He thought Jane would have bought plain ones, but they were floral.
Zephyr felt like laughing. He walked to the bathroom and blurted out, "Jane, your taste is so childish."
Jane opened a crack in the door and chuckled.
"Yeah, not as sophisticated as Dr. Wright."
Zephyr was speechless.
Wearing black underwear was sophisticated?
There was no such saying.
In the bathroom, Jane put on one pair of underwear and washed the other pair along with the one she had changed out of.
Originally, Jane hadn't planned to move in with Zephyr.
But she was afraid Zephyr would have psychological issues after finding out it was Hubert who caused his aftereffects.
She feared Zephyr might impulsively seek revenge on Hubert, ruining her plans.
Jane also worried that Zephyr might suppress his anger and develop depression, so she decided to stay here.
Besides, she and Zephyr could develop their relationship.
Look, after one meal, Zephyr's mood had noticeably improved.
So her decision was right.
Jane wrapped herself in a white towel and tidied her hair in front of the mirror.
She had only bought two pairs of underwear and no new clothes.
Jane thought she could go home to get her clothes tomorrow, saving the money.
In the mirror, the woman was barely covered by the towel, revealing her delicate collarbones and heaving chest.
Her long, slender legs were dazzlingly white under the light.
Jane pulled the towel down a bit, wondering how Zephyr would react seeing her like this.
She smiled and opened the door.
"Zephyr, thanks."
Jane stood there, her hair still damp.
Under the light, Jane's allure pulled at his heartstrings.
Zephyr, lost in thought, glanced over and couldn't help but fixate on her.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
"You're coming out dressed like that?"
Jane usually wore loose casual clothes, so he couldn't tell what her figure was like.
However, now that he saw her undressed, he discovered that her figure was quite impressive.
"My clothes are dirty, and I didn't buy new ones. Why don't you lend me something to wear?"
Jane walked towards him, seeing Zephyr's flickering eyes and uneasy demeanor, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"All the clothes are in the closet, find something yourself."
Zephyr didn't dare stare at her, letting Jane find something herself.
Jane smiled, not teasing Zephyr further. She nodded and walked to his bedroom.
Watching Jane's graceful figure, Zephyr's gaze unconsciously fell on her long legs, feeling a surge of heat.
He quickly looked away and went to the kitchen to drink more water.
"Pour me a glass too."
At some point, Jane had changed and asked for water.
Zephyr glanced at her, seeing she was wearing one of his white shirts.
The shirt's hem barely covered Jane's hips, still revealing her long legs, sparking imagination under the light.
Zephyr felt Jane was doing it on purpose.
She was deliberately tempting him.
He couldn't help but say, "Officer Harvey, did you learn seduction while undercover?"
Jane took the glass and glanced at him. "Are you seduced?"
Of course, he was.
But Zephyr couldn't admit it.
"Impossible, I'm a gentleman."
"Seems my seduction skills need improvement."
Jane took a sip of water and said "Zephyr, why don't you be a good citizen and help me practice? If I ever need to seduce someone on a mission, I can do it effortlessly. I'll even get you an honorary award from the higher-ups."
Zephyr was speechless.
He'd rather not have such an honor.
He feared that while practicing, he might fall for it.
