Chapter 4

At that moment, although Grace was a woman from the countryside, she still had the unique fragrance of a woman on her body, and it went straight into my nose and mouth.

My entire mind went blank.

However, not long after I held her in my arms, the frequency of her trembling became much lower.

I only felt that Grace was soft in my arms, and this was the first time I had ever been this intimate with a woman.

Even though she was my cousin’s widow, I could not help letting my imagination run wild.

I cursed myself fiercely in my heart, but I could not control myself at all, and all kinds of messy images kept appearing in my mind.

That entire night, under circumstances where I could not tell day from night, I woke up countless times, but fortunately, Grace’s body temperature in my arms had already gone down.

“Ethan, are you awake?”

In my sleep, I heard Grace call me, and I slowly opened my eyes, then in an instant, my whole body froze on the bed, unable to say a single word.

Before my eyes were the white ceiling and the hanging light.

I could see, and my eyes had recovered.

I was wildly overjoyed and turned my head, wanting to tell Grace this good news, but the moment I turned my head, the scene before my eyes froze me again. [This is the paid content point.]

What entered my sight was Grace’s body, which seemed to glow white under the sunlight.

From head to toe, she was wearing only her underwear.

Although Grace had lived in the countryside for years and often did farm work, it had not made her figure lose shape at all, and instead it added a mature beauty to her.

Even more fatal was that the underwear Grace had probably bought casually from some cheap stall did not fit her at all.

That perfect figure looked as if it might spill out at any second.

I stared completely dumbfounded, and the good news I had been about to tell her, that I could see, was forcefully blocked in my throat.

Seeing me dazed, Grace asked again, “Ethan, what’s wrong?”

I came back to my senses and hurriedly turned away my greedy gaze, but I could only keep pretending to be blind, because if I told her now that I could see, wouldn’t we both die of embarrassment?

So I shook my head and changed the topic.

“It’s nothing, Grace, are you feeling better?”

Grace’s pretty face turned red, and she smiled, saying, “I’m much better, Ethan, thank you, because if it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have taken good care of you and would have ended up troubling you instead.”

I hurriedly said, “If I hadn’t had you during this time, I really don’t know what I would have done, so I should be the one thanking you.”

She smiled and said, “You’re hungry, right? I’ll go make you something to eat.”

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the bedroom.

I could not help looking at her back again, and to be honest, if Mark had not broken the law and were still around, just how happy would he have been?

As for the fact that I could see again, it seemed I had to find another opportunity to tell Grace, because at least saying it now would be too awkward, and I could only continue pretending to be blind.

After a short while, I got up and put on my clothes, and just then, Grace also opened the door and walked in.

Seeing this blood-racing scene again, my heartbeat could not help speeding up, and I really wanted to remind Grace that it would be best for her to put on some clothes.

When she saw that I had already put on my clothes, she smiled and said, “Oh, not bad, you put them on by yourself today, and nothing is wrong, so that deserves encouragement.”

A wave of guilt immediately rose in my heart.

Grace walked over and helped me up, and she was probably this bold because she thought I could not see.

I lowered my head and did not dare look at her, but I saw that my arm had been hugged into her chest, making my whole body so stiff I did not dare move.

When we came to the dining table in the living room and sat down facing each other, I became even more afraid to look at her, but my eyes never knew where to settle.

No matter what, from the corner of my eye, I would see her perfect figure.

After a tasteless breakfast, she helped me sit down on the couch again.

“Ethan, sit here and rest for a bit, and I’ll go wash the clothes from last night, because they’re all sweaty.”

After I nodded, her next move instantly made it feel like my nosebleed was about to spray out.
