Chapter 294
Seeing this scene, it really is as Katniss said, the two of them really didn't have sex last night.
I became the stumbling block between them having sex. If I hadn't been home last night, they would definitely have had sex.
Katniss was thinking about me in her heart the whole time, which made her unable to get in the mood. Nathan was nervous at the beginning, but after his desire kicked in, he temporarily forgot everything else and focused on enjoying the process of being intimate with Katniss. This is why they say men think with their lower body.
And when Katniss mentioned me at the last moment, Nathan also gave up, lost interest, and even his penis eventually went soft. Seeing this, I felt a bit comforted in my heart. If they had really had sex last night, it would mean that at that moment, all they cared about was their sexual needs for each other, and I was no longer important. That's why I took the risk of opening the door to eavesdrop last night.
At this moment, I wondered if Katniss saw me opening the door. Thinking about this, I temporarily stopped thinking and continued watching the surveillance video.
After Katniss walked out of Nathan's room, her steps were slow, as if she was reluctant to leave Nathan's room. But halfway through, Katniss finally started to pick up her pace. When she walked past the bathroom, she hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to take a shower. But after a brief thought, Katniss gave up on the idea and walked towards our bedroom. When she reached the doorway, she grabbed the doorknob, but the door moved slightly with a gentle touch.
At that moment, Katniss froze. A look of confusion flashed across her face. After a moment of thought, the confusion disappeared from Katniss's face, replaced by shock, a hint of nervousness, and finally a sense of relief.
Seeing the change in Katniss's expression just now, I knew she was thinking about whether she had closed the door when she left. After recalling and confirming that she did close the door when she left, but now the door was slightly ajar, it could only mean that I had opened the door before, maybe come out, maybe eavesdropped. Katniss's nervousness, shock, and eventual relief were because she realized that she was lucky not to have had sex with Nathan just now, otherwise her husband (me) would have found out.
After standing at the door for a long time, Katniss gently opened the door and walked in. When she got into bed, she didn't look at me, perhaps because she had already confirmed that I wasn't asleep, or maybe she was afraid that meeting my eyes in the darkness would be awkward.
After lying down on the bed, Katniss didn't close her eyes to sleep, but kept staring at the ceiling with thoughts flashing through her mind, even with a hint of nervousness. After a while, Katniss turned her head slightly to look at me before closing her eyes and eventually breathing evenly.
I turned off the surveillance video, feeling a mix of emotions after watching it. I wondered if it was possible to end the sexual relationship between them without explicitly stating it. At that moment, I couldn't help but think of the message I had just exchanged with Katniss. I had been pretending to be magnanimous, so I didn't show any jealousy as a man should. Hopefully, my action of opening the door last night would serve as a warning to Katniss and slowly lead her to cut ties with Nathan.
After a busy afternoon at work, I stretched and returned home with my suit. Perhaps after last night's failure, Nathan had already returned to the island.
Driving back home, I unlocked the door with my key and habitually looked towards the entrance. Sure enough, I saw dinner prepared and Katniss waiting for me to come home.
The first glance Katniss gave me was a bit evasive, but she quickly recovered and helped me take off my shoes and hang up my coat.
After washing my hands, we started eating. After dinner, I lay back on the bed while Katniss took care of the household chores. I didn't feel like doing anything else and in my free time, I thought about the surveillance situation during the day. After some contemplation, I decided not to intervene for now and let Katniss and Nathan's relationship take its course. I would observe for a while and only step in if necessary.
"Tired, honey?"
As I closed my eyes to make a decision, Katniss's voice sounded as she had finished tidying up and returned to the room.
"Not too bad."
I was a bit surprised because Katniss rarely greeted me like this before. Was Katniss trying to please me? Or did she sense something? Her greeting felt a bit unusual, but I couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
"Let me give you a massage."
After saying that, Katniss started gently massaging me. I kept my eyes closed throughout, enjoying the massage comfortably.
I could clearly smell Katniss's scent and hear her uneven breathing. During dinner today, I felt that Katniss was acting a bit strange, her eyes wandering, as if desire was surging within her.
Normally, her medication should have been finished today, and Katniss should have recovered. Why was she still acting this way? Could it be that the doctor had lied to me? He wouldn't dare. I decided to call the doctor tomorrow to inquire. In the past, it was difficult to broach this topic, but for the sake of my wife and family, I shamelessly decided to get to the bottom of it.
"Honey, I've finished my medication. The doctor forgot to prescribe it last time."
After massaging me for a while, Katniss spoke again, bringing up the topic of medication.
Yes, the medication was finished, and it should have been prescribed normally. Katniss had always avoided talking about her condition, but now that she brought it up, how should I respond? Should I tell her that she had recovered and didn't need medication anymore?
"The doctor said to stop the medication for a while and adjust the prescription later based on the situation."
In the end, I chose not to tell Katniss that her endocrine system had already recovered. I decided to observe for a while before making any decisions.
Katniss's response showed no signs of doubt, as if she truly believed what I said.
"Alright, let's sleep."
I was really tired at this point and couldn't help but say.
"Okay, goodnight."
Katniss's tone in her response was a bit strange. Did she have something else to say to me but didn't say it? Katniss got up to turn off the bedroom light, then lay down next to me. The room was filled only with our breathing, but our breaths were not in sync. Mine was steady, while Katniss's was unstable, indicating that she needed time to adjust and adapt.
If one day I see a change in the toothbrush cup again, should I agree or disagree? If I disagree, will it hurt Katniss? If I tell Katniss directly that her illness has already been cured, maybe there wouldn't be so many troubles. Most importantly, I dare not make a wrong decision now regarding Katniss's thoughts.
I could also disagree, pretend not to have seen the cup, although the situation of the door being slightly ajar was quite obvious, but it was an unavoidable situation.
As time passed, it was already past my usual bedtime. My biological clock was very punctual.
Because I had been thinking about the issue, I slept later than usual. Once I had figured things out, I decided to sleep because I had a busy day ahead. Just as I was about to sleep, I noticed Katniss moving beside me, similar to last night with the slight movement of the mattress. I knew Katniss was moving very slowly, but from the change in the position of her breathing, I realized Katniss had gotten out of bed, paused for a moment, then I sensed Katniss stepping over my body, slowly getting out of bed, and finally heard the faint sound of slippers rubbing against the floor.
She was being so cautious even going to the bathroom. Perhaps she was afraid of disturbing my rest, as she always thought I was tired and couldn't share my worries.
Katniss's careful movements without making a sound made me feel a bit warm inside. Today's massage and her cautious behavior, though unusual, still made me feel warm. Who wouldn't want to be cared for and protected by someone else? The door was gently opened and then closed slowly. With a clear sound, the door was locked again, and Katniss's breathing was no longer audible.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't hear the sound of the bathroom door opening. Even if Katniss was being cautious, there would still be a sound when opening or closing the door, and did Katniss need to be so careful after leaving the bedroom?
After waiting for a while, the sound of the room door finally came, very light, but why did the sound of the door closing feel a bit distant from me?
