Chapter 80 Cold War
I can think of many scenarios, but I never expected Katniss to suddenly suggest a trip. This sudden attack caught me off guard, and I was left dumbfounded with my mouth still chewing.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? I suddenly want to travel, you don't have to look so surprised, do you?" Katniss saw me in a daze and suddenly blushed, pouting shyly.
"It's nothing, if you want to travel, sure, just give me some time to clear my schedule, I'll definitely accompany you." I quickly responded, realizing the situation, so that Katniss wouldn't see through my facade. I lowered my head and continued to sweep the food on the table. I don't know if it's because Nathan put extra effort into cooking, but the food today tastes really good, with a special flavor of guilt.
"Since we got married, we haven't traveled alone together. Let's consider this as a belated honeymoon for us." Katniss looked at me, who was eating eagerly, and suddenly said affectionately.
"Sure, but is it okay to leave Nathan alone at home? After all, Nathan hasn't fully recovered." I suddenly raised my head, carefully expressing my concern to Katniss, while closely observing her changing expressions.
"It's okay, Nathan's body is fine now." When I mentioned Nathan, Katniss's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust and annoyance, but the emotion quickly disappeared. Indeed, Nathan's body was completely fine, showing no signs of any issues, as evident from his strong performance last night. However, I couldn't express this thought. Katniss's words were unintentional, but I interpreted them with intent.
The special dinner ended like this. Perhaps because Nathan cooked, Katniss seemed a bit disgusted. She only ate a little, which was completely different from her usual appetite, but I didn't inquire further.
At night, since I had already monitored everything at home during the day, I didn't need to check the cameras tonight. Katniss and I lay in bed early, and Nathan never came out of the bedroom, leaving Katniss to clean up the dining table. Lying in bed, Katniss nestled quietly in my arms.
I carefully recalled everything that happened today and last night. Why did Katniss suddenly suggest a trip? Perhaps out of guilt, wanting to compensate me with some alone time together? Or maybe, after last night, Katniss was particularly afraid of losing me and wanted to cherish every moment with me? It could also be that Katniss wanted to relax and forget everything that happened last night. Perhaps the memories left by Nathan last night would never be erased or forgotten in her life, but through the trip, she hoped to fade them until forgotten?
After thinking for a long time, Katniss and I still hadn't spoken to each other. Due to the stimulation from last night, my condition was gradually improving. I had to admit that this treatment method was quite unconventional, and the results were somewhat miraculous. However, my small penis, compared to Nathan's larger one, was beyond treatment, as it was genetic and could never be changed.
Thinking about last night's events, my small penis unknowingly started to erect, and my sexual desire suddenly surged. I wanted to be intimate with Katniss in a playful way, as it had been a long time since we last made love. I began to caress Katniss's hair with one hand, moving down to her perky buttocks, while the other hand was not idle, starting to touch Katniss's sexy 34D breasts.
As I caressed her, Katniss let out a genuine moan of pleasure, completely from the heart. Our breathing became more and more rapid. I started to undress Katniss, but as soon as I unbuttoned the first button of her nightgown, Katniss, who was enjoying the moment with her eyes closed, seemed to suddenly remember something. She grabbed my hand abruptly, opened her eyes, and stared at me intently.
"What's wrong, honey?" I looked at Katniss in confusion. Could it be that last night's events had left a shadow in Katniss's heart? I hoped not.
"It's nothing, just feeling a bit unwell these days. I plan to buy some medicine tomorrow, as my private parts are a bit itchy." Katniss blushed and explained to me. If I didn't know about everything that happened last night, I might have been fooled by Katniss. At that moment, I finally remembered why Katniss refused me. She wore a thick nightgown to cover the kiss marks left by Nathan on her upper body. If I had undressed her, all the marks would have been exposed. Realizing this, I felt relieved that it wasn't a psychological issue.
"I'm sorry, honey. How about I take care of you properly after a few days when you feel better?" Seeing me lost in thought, Katniss thought I was angry and buried her face in my armpit, gently comforting me.
Having understood the reason, I decided not to force Katniss. I hugged her tightly, preparing to sleep. I didn't ask Katniss why she suddenly changed into a thick nightgown, as it was not suitable for the current season. It was better not to raise any suspicions. Perhaps it was because I was too tired from last night, or maybe it was because I hadn't slept all night. Everything at home was much better than I had imagined, and feeling relieved, I quickly fell asleep.
In my dreams, I always felt a pair of hands gently stroking my cheeks, as if warm drops were falling on my face. However, I was too tired to wake up from these dreams and slept until dawn. When I woke up in the morning, it was a beautiful day. I stretched lazily and saw that Katniss was already gone. I got up and went to the living room, where I found Katniss wearing an apron and preparing breakfast.
"Honey, did you sleep well last night?" Katniss greeted me gently. At that moment, I noticed that Nathan was still in the bedroom and hadn't come out.
"I slept very well. It's been a long time since I slept so comfortably." I continued to stretch and yawn.
"Really? You snored all night, and I couldn't sleep well." Katniss pouted, looking a bit tired. It seemed that she really didn't sleep well last night, but I didn't know the reason.
Seeing that Nathan wasn't in the living room, I knew that he seemed to still be struggling with feelings of guilt and sadness. I walked into Nathan's room, opened the door, and found him sitting against the head of the bed, staring blankly. His eyes were red, indicating that he hadn't slept well last night. When he saw me come in, he quickly straightened up his head, as if avoiding facing me.
"Dad, feeling better now? Do you need to go to the hospital today?" Seeing Nathan's condition, I pretended to ask naturally, trying to show concern.
"I'm fine now, feeling much better." Nathan looked at the foot of the bed and said softly. His voice revealed fatigue, perhaps due to some side effects of the sexual medicine.
"Then let's have breakfast. You didn't eat last night."
"Okay." Nathan knew he couldn't avoid it forever and sighed before getting out of bed to freshen up. The atmosphere at the dining table was tense. When Nathan and Katniss sat down, they exchanged a plain look before quietly eating.
"Dad, Katniss and I are planning to go on a trip in a few days. Do you want to join us?" After thinking for a while, I felt that regardless of whether Nathan came along or not, I should at least ask him. It didn't sit right with me to leave Nathan alone at home. Not asking would make me feel guilty as a parent.
Upon hearing my question, both Nathan and Katniss were visibly surprised. Nathan had clearly heard my conversation with Katniss in the bedroom last night. He knew that Katniss wanted to have some alone time with me, so he didn't expect me to invite him. Nathan's eyes showed a touch of gratitude, as he understood why I wanted him to come along. Katniss was surprised because she didn't expect me to disregard her opinion and invite Nathan. A hint of disappointment flashed in Katniss's eyes.
After a grateful glance from Nathan, he looked at Katniss with hope, subtly waiting for her response. Normally, Katniss would say, "Sure, Dad, let's go together." However, at that moment, Katniss kept her head down, not looking at me or Nathan, indicating her clear stance.
"You two go ahead. I'm getting old and can't handle the excitement. I'll just stay quietly at home. I was thinking of visiting Simon. It's been a long time since I saw him, and I miss him." Seeing Katniss's continued silence, Nathan's face showed deep disappointment and sadness. Through this trip, Nathan also wanted to reconcile with Katniss, even if nothing happened between them in the future. He was content with just returning to their previous relationship, but Katniss didn't give him that chance. I even sensed a hint of despair in Nathan's eyes, though I wasn't sure if I was reading it right.
After breakfast, I started my workday, trying to finish my tasks early to free up time to accompany Katniss on the trip. During this time, Nathan brought Simon back home. Life seemed to return to normal, but without the verbal exchanges between Nathan and Katniss, the house felt somewhat empty. Apart from necessary communication, Nathan and Katniss didn't interact much, and even their occasional conversations seemed forced, especially in my presence.
Simon was now four years old, and Katniss decided to enroll him in kindergarten for early education. I had no objections, as it was the right age for kids to start kindergarten in our area. After discussing it with Nathan, he showed a hint of reluctance but ultimately followed Katniss's and my decision. After sending Simon to kindergarten, we would drop him off in the morning and Katniss would pick him up in the evening, ensuring that we could manage our schedules. The school provided lunch for the kids, so Nathan didn't have to worry about it, lightening his burden unintentionally.
I still checked the home surveillance videos occasionally every day. When I wasn't at home, Katniss and Nathan barely spoke to each other. Katniss remained distant towards Nathan, showing no signs of change. I started to feel a bit anxious, as this situation couldn't continue indefinitely.
During this period, Nathan would be out all day, which was unusual. In Nightfall City, Nathan had few acquaintances, and he rarely went out except for grocery shopping. Now, he would be out for the entire day. I wondered what Nathan was up to.
