Chapter 327: The Book in His Hand Is Not Interesting Anymore

…

The feeling of inferiority had always accompanied Halle, and even if they were married now, the look in Horton’s eyes would make her nervous.

She was looking forward to Horton’s approach, but also afraid.

She was afraid that he would find that she was not as good as he thought.

And she was afraid that he would regret and change.

“Halle, what’s wrong?”

Hilla looked at Halle worriedly. In the night, Halle was gentle and beautiful, but was also melancholy and reserved.

Hilla frowned and felt pity for Halle.

Halle pursed her lips and chuckled. “Nothing, I was just a little happy to receive the report today, but I felt that I was very humble and timid now.”

Hilla was startled as if she hadn’t expected Halle to say this.

In the past, Halle was like a white lotus growing on a snowy peak, pure and transparent.

Although she was always quiet and gentle, she was beautiful and elegant.

Halle was always confident and beautiful, and Hilla even felt that the men in the world were not worthy of such beauty.

“Halle, it’s just a divorce. It’s nothing.”

Marriage was just a ray of light on the road of life, and some people could even encounter it many times in their lives.

Halle nodded and said, “But people would change. Marriage is sacred and devout to me. I thought I would only have one in my life.”

It was a little ridiculous to say this because she was already married twice, though she had only slept with Horton.

“Halle.”

“I am just not reconciled. Emily is his daughter. Why doesn’t he believe it?”

Halle sounded helpless and angry, but soon she couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s wrong with me today? Do you think I’m being unreasonable right now?”

She didn’t like this kind of herself, hesitant, unconfident, and humble all the time.

Hilla held Halle’s arm and leaned her head on Halle’s shoulder, looking at the dark sky above them.

“Halle, I don’t believe that this world will put all the misfortune on one person.”

“Didn’t people always say that after surviving a great disaster, there will be good fortune in the future? I feel that being unhappy is only temporary. As long as we survive this period, there will be happy things for us.”

Hilla tried to make Halle happy, but Halle was not very gloomy.

She was just not sure enough. She believed in Horton while dared not to believe in him.

It was not good to rely on a man and trust him because when he wanted to leave, you would find that you could not live without him.

“Alright, forget what I said. Maybe I didn’t sleep well in the past few days, so I woolgathered. I would have a happy family now and in the future.”

Halle was about to get up when Hilla grabbed her arm.

Looking down, Hilla was frowning at her. “Halle, did Horton upset you?”

She could see that Halle was very happy when she got married to Horton, although Halle had tried to restrain the joy.

However, Hilla could still feel that Halle was very happy when she married Horton. Although she looked worried from time to time, the expectation in her eyes would not lie.

Now that Halle said this, the problem must be with Horton.

Halle was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with some embarrassment. “What are you thinking? How could he upset me?”

“You know you can’t lie to me.”

They grew up together and were too familiar with each other. They could live a simple life, but they couldn’t live like fools.

Hilla hoped that she would be happy and her family would be happy too.

She held Halle’s arms firmly. Halle couldn’t resist it, so she could only say helplessly, “Hilla, you really misunderstood it. He won’t treat me badly, but I think he is too good to me.”

That was why she felt that she couldn’t afford to pay him back and she wasn’t worthy of him.

“You married him and gave him all you have. He should be good to you. And you gave birth to Emily and you didn’t let him down. Halle, I know that’s not the reason.”

She just wanted to know what Halle was thinking.

But Halle seemed to be very hesitant. After a long while, she said, “We have no intimacy yet.”

Hilla was stunned, and she subconsciously loosened her hand.

She pursed his lips and whispered, “Haven’t you had sex?”

But on second thought, when they got married, Horton’s leg was injured, and it was normal that they couldn’t have sex.

But now that Horton’s leg was healed, and they slept in the same room every day, on the same bed. Was there anything wrong with Horton’s sexual capacity? How could he restrain his desire?

Halle nodded, feeling a little sad. “He doesn’t seem to want to touch me.”

Every day, Horton went to bed first and then silently turned around to rest. She didn’t know what to say or do. In the end, she could only take a rest.

Moreover, it was not appropriate for a woman to take the initiative.

“He didn’t want to? He can’t have any side effects from the last injury, right?”

Hilla muttered in a low voice. He went through Horton’s performance in the past few days in her mind, and finally shook her head.

Horton seemed to want a second child, so he definitely wouldn’t be lying.

Men were the most sensitive and can’t stand to be allured, just like Bruce.

Hilla hurriedly interrupted her thoughts and moved forward to say, “Maybe it was because you were too cold? He was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he didn’t touch you. Besides, Emily was sleeping with you. He might feel that it was not convenient.”

Speaking of which, she was still quite curious about how Horton could restrain his desire when they lay in the same bed every day.

After thinking about it, she understood that Bruce should be experienced in this.

Halle came back to her senses and felt a little embarrassed. She forgot that Emily was still here every night.

“Maybe, maybe.”

Halle felt that it was a little embarrassing to talk to her family about this kind of thing. She somewhat understood why Hilla whispered when talking about Hilla’s privacy.

It was indeed difficult to say it, and she wanted to push Hilla away and go back to the room.

“Why don’t you take the initiative?”

Hilla really wanted to throw out a suggestion. Although it was embarrassing for a woman to take the initiative, it should be fine between a couple.

When taking the initiative, Halle was suddenly a little flustered, her gaze subconsciously dodging, somewhat at a loss. “I… How? I can’t. I can’t do it.”

Halle’s voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke and she couldn’t wait to find a place to hide.

Hilla nodded. Halle was so gentle and well-behaved, so she must be embarrassed to take the initiative in this kind of thing.

He suddenly thought of something and grabbed Halle. “Halle, how did you and Horton have sex the first time?”

The first time was already done. Was there still so much difficulty after that?

Halle panicked. “The, the first time…”

“Yes, didn’t you get pregnant with Emily once? Who took the initiative that time?”

Halle shook her head. She was drunk and had no idea then. She didn’t want to talk about it.

…

The southern town was famous for its clear water and green mountains.

The green leaves were lush, the wildflowers were brilliant, and the sunlight shone through leaves, casting dotted shadows on the ground.

Halle picked up the mushroom in the grass. Her arm was nudged once. She turned around and saw the strange look on Horton’s face.

“What’s the matter?”

Halle asked as she put the mushrooms into her basket.

For the past two days, Horton had been very strange. Whenever he saw her, he looked like he had something to tell her.

Horton turned to look at the other three behind him, his eyes behind his glasses deep and uneasy.

“Is Hilla angry with me?”

Horton’s words made Halle slightly surprised. She thought, “Don’t you know whether you make Hilla angry?”

Halle glanced at Hilla, who was not far away. Then she asked, “What’s wrong? Did Hilla lose her temper with you?”

Hilla was not a woman who would easily lose her temper with others, not to mention with Bruce. Even if Hilla and Horton had a conflict, with her personality, Hilla would only come to Halle and make some complaints.

Halle looked at Horton and saw that he was still gloomy. “It doesn’t matter. With Bruce here, Hilla won’t make things difficult for you.”

Even if Hilla wanted, she would prevent that from happening. “No, I just think she seems to be looking at me all the time.” Horton coughed unnaturally, helping Halle carry the basket.

For the past two days, he didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt Hilla had been looking at him strangely. When Hilla’s gaze fell on him without restraint, he would suddenly feel nervous.

“What exactly did I do wrong? Could she just punish me?” he wondered.

Halle was shocked for a moment, and then she turned around to take a look, only to find that Hilla was also looking at her. She quickly looked away.

She blushed and whispered, “Really? This forest is so big. She doesn’t only look at you, right?”

Ever since she had a talk with Hilla that night, Halle had been afraid to look at her

sister.

Feeling that all the secrets seemed to have been exposed, she felt a little shamed, but also a little embarrassed.

Horton said, “Did I really offend her? But it seems she doesn’t want me to hold Emily.”

He frowned, desperately thinking about what he had said to Hilla recently, and whether he had made her cross.

After all, Hilla had not only been looking at him for the past two days in a strange way, but also the way she spoke with him was unusual.

What made Horton feel the most uneasy was that Hilla hadn’t allowed him to approach Emily in the past two days.

Horton panicked, “It couldn’t be that Hilla is dissatisfied with me and doesn’t want me to be Emily’s father. If so, will Halle divorce me?”

For a moment, Horton was terrified.

Halle did not know how to explain to Horton, who did not know her talk with Hilla.

After that night, Hilla coaxed Emily to sleep with her several times, and Halle understood what Hilla meant.

But could they make it even if Emily was not around?

She said, “You’re thinking too much. Hilla has been missing Emily very much recently and wants to spend more time with her.”

“Is that so?”

Horton didn’t believe it obviously. When he turned his head, he saw Hilla looking at them and her eyes fell on him directly.

Horton’s heart tightened, clearly feeling that Hilla was looking at him with a frown. Horton had an illusion. Hilla seemed to be saying, “Can you do it? Can you?”

“Emily, how about you sleep with me tonight? I miss you so much!” Hilla was talking to Emily.

Dinner was mushrooms picked in the mountains during the day. The few of them made a simple soup and ate at the foot of the mountain.

After dinner, Hilla held Emily in her arms again, as if she wanted to take her into her RV.

Emily blinked her bright black eyes and looked at Halle seriously. Then she turned to Hilla and said, “I slept with you yesterday. Can I sleep with mom today?”

“Emily, you don’t like me anymore, do you?”

Hilla made a sad face. The innocent little girl shook her head vigorously, saying in a childish voice, “I love you the most.”

As she said this, Emily reached out and hugged Hilla’s neck, saying obediently, “How about you sleep with me today and sleep with mom tomorrow?”

Without waiting for Hilla to reply, the little girl pouted with a grievance. “If I don’t sleep with Mom, Mom will be sad and miss me.”

Halle glanced at Hilla awkwardly and was just about to take Emily over when she saw Emily hugging Hilla’s neck and saying in a clear and obedient voice, “But you also miss me. I will be with you tonight.”

“Good, I will tell you stories at night.”

Hilla smiled and carried Emily into her RV. Seeing this, Halle could say nothing. After all, if she carried Emily back at this time, she would feel a little embarrassed.

Bruce raised his head and glanced at Horton, his voice low and cold, “Loser.”

Horton thought, “Who is a loser? No wonder your wife is not sleeping with you. Serves you right!”

Two RVs were parked separately on grassland at the foot of the mountain, but they are not far away from each other. The lights of the mountain village could be vaguely seen.

There was a patch of green grass here and some unknown small wildflowers scattered around.

Halle came out of the small bathroom after taking a shower, wearing a white silk robe.

Inside the robe, she wore some special underwear, lingerie.

She stood awkwardly in the RV, her face blushing because of the hot water. Her long hair was gently rolled to one side, revealing the white and slender neck on the other side.

The room was small and filled with a rich fragrance, the smell of shampoo on Halle.

It quickly entered Horton’s nose.

The bright lights in the car added some charm.

Horton who had just been calm and composed was flustered by the scene. The medical book in his hand almost fell to the ground.

“I’m done. Do you want to go and have a shower?”

Halle’s voice was very soft, but it was clear enough in this small limousine.

The woman’s slender and graceful figure stood on the spot, slightly uneasy. Her fingers tightly pressed the bathrobe belt around her waist.

She really didn’t have the courage to show her lingerie. Halle stood where she was, her mind full of the words Hilla said to her. “Take the initiative.”

She understood that Hilla took Emily away to leave some space for her and Horton, but she didn’t have the courage to take action.

Halle pursed her lips. Horton was still sitting on the sofa at the door, looking at her without blinking.

The man did not speak, but his eyes were full of desire as he looked at her. She hesitated a little and then quickly moved closer to Horton.

He tightened his grip on the book and looked at Halle who was walking towards him.

His heart jumped widely.

The book in his hand was suddenly not interesting anymore!
