Chapter 50 Trying to Maintain This Marriage
Regina looked into Douglas's eyes, her heart racing inexplicably.
"If you want me to be like before, then, Mrs. Semona, you should also want to date me, right?" he said.
Regina wanted to try to make their marriage work and see it grow in a positive direction. Douglas was perceptive; with just a glance, he could understand her innermost thoughts. Regina's eyelashes fluttered, and though she lowered her head, Douglas caught the conflict in her eyes.
Fortunately, after a moment, Douglas received her affirmative response.
"I still have some work to finish. You can take a shower and rest," he said.
Regina was surprised. "Here?"
He nodded. "Is that a problem?"
"But this is your office."
"No one will come in at night. I'll wake you up early tomorrow so no one will find out."
"But..." Regina still wanted to say something, but before she could finish, she remembered something and agreed, "Alright then."
Douglas's office was spacious. As Regina walked in, she found a lounge, a bathroom, a coffee room, and a meeting room, all well-equipped. Regina found her way to his lounge. As she walked further in, she saw a cloakroom. She opened his wardrobe, not expecting to find women's clothes in there and even considering not changing clothes at all. But to her surprise, when she opened the wardrobe door, hanging next to his black pajamas was a milky white woman's nightgown, very conspicuous.
Regina took it down and looked at it. It was her size and the brand she usually wore at home. Regina searched again and found her underwear. It was a comfortable yet sexy white lace set.
She subtly slowed her breathing, picked up the nightgown and underwear, and walked into the bathroom. After her shower, seeing that Douglas hadn't come over yet, she lay on the bed, scrolling on her phone for a while. She might have been a bit tired after a busy day, and before long, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, there was someone next to her. Douglas had just taken a shower, and his body still had the refreshing scent of shower gel. The scent was faint, but it made Regina's cheeks flush.
In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. Regina's mind was filled with many images, making her feel confused for a moment.
"Would you like to try, Mrs. Semona?"
Her chaotic thoughts were interrupted. They hadn't done anything, but Regina felt weak all over and had difficulty breathing. Douglas wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Regina's body was soft, but she was tense and couldn't relax.
"Mrs. Semona?"
She reacted belatedly. "What?"
Douglas chuckled lightly. "You're like this, and I can hardly bear to make a move."
He also didn't know where to start.
Regina pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She didn't even look at him.
Douglas was used to controlling all situations himself, but when facing Regina, he always felt a sense of failure.
After hesitating for a moment, he still tried, leaning down to kiss her.
