Fortunately, after Avery felt something, she noticed that Miles had finished his meal and urged him upstairs to do his homework. Otherwise, with Miles' sharpness, he would have definitely sensed something.
As Avery was cleaning up the dishes, Henry followed her into the kitchen. Eating in the living room was one thing, but getting intimate there risked being seen, which would be counterproductive if many people found out without anything actually happening.
Just as Avery placed the dishes in the sink, Henry’s hands found their way to her, this time not through her collar but by lifting her shirt directly. She already felt warm from the little bit of alcohol she had consumed, and her back was slightly itchy. The cool touch of Henry’s hands on her body brought instant relief.
She immediately turned around, wrapped her arms around Henry's neck, and kissed him. This way, Henry’s hands could only continue to caress her back, scratching her itch and making her feel incredibly comfortable.
Henry’s kisses became more skilled. Previously, he would close his eyes, but now he kept them open, watching Avery and occasionally making smacking sounds, which made Avery laugh and lightly slap his shoulder, telling him not to be naughty.
Avery had to maintain a certain demeanor, but she actually enjoyed Henry's playful and teasing actions. Jason was too rigid and methodical, even kissing felt like a routine task. Henry's approach brought her a different kind of pleasure.
Henry was also lost in excitement and joy. Avery's originally fair skin now had a rosy hue, looking like a sky full of glowing clouds. Her smooth body had no excess flesh, not at all like a woman who had given birth.
Avery's enthusiastic response made Henry start to let go. His hand suddenly moved to a certain area, but Avery grabbed his hand and brought it back up. When Henry tried again, Avery firmly placed his hand on her chest.
Henry was puzzled, thinking: Teasing me? We’re already like this, what’s left to hold back?
When Henry tried once more, Avery had to break the kiss and, embarrassed, said, "It's that time of the month."
Damn!
What kind of bad luck is this?
Just when things were about to get serious with Isabelle, she had her period. Now, just as he was about to experience the most thrilling moment of his life with Avery, she too had her period.
Twice in a row, who could stand that?
Henry skeptically asked, "Really?"
Avery, a bit embarrassed, said, "Would I lie about this? Besides, we’re already like this, I want it even more than you do!"
After saying that, she shyly closed her eyes and kissed Henry again.
Henry, still unsatisfied, kissed her for a while before letting go and asked, "When will it be over?"
Avery smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, before Jason comes back, I'll make sure you get what you want!"
Although it felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, Avery hadn't set a far-off date. Jason was going to be at the Federal for a week. This meant that within this week, Henry would definitely get Avery.
Henry said, "Once won't be enough!"
Avery laughed, "Silly, the hardest part is the first time. Once we’ve done it, do you think you won't have more opportunities?"
Henry finally smiled and kissed her again.
"Hey," after a while, Avery pushed Henry away, "Remember, don't tell your sister-in-law about us. If she finds out, I’ll be too embarrassed to face anyone!"
Henry laughed and asked, "Do you think I’d go around bragging about this? Do you think I’m stupid or crazy?"
Avery said, "You never know. Men, especially young guys like you, love to brag. Today you sleep with a woman, tomorrow the whole world knows. Remember, your sister-in-law and I are best friends. I work in administration, and I used to joke with your sister-in-law about not letting your family become like 'The Golden Lotus'. Now I’m involved with you. If she finds out, she’ll skin me alive!"
Henry said, "Please, we haven’t even done anything yet!"
"But it's only a matter of time, right?"
Henry smiled, "Actually, if that day comes, even if I tell my sister-in-law, she should feel honored!"
Avery rolled her eyes, "Do you young guys feel accomplished by sleeping with someone else's wife? For married women like us, being with young guys like you is a great deal. You’re the ones at a loss. If your sister-in-law finds out about us, she’ll definitely turn against me, not because of anything else but because she’ll think I’m ruining you!"
Henry laughed, "How could that be?" He then hugged Avery and kissed her again.
Avery pushed him away with a small fist, lightly punching his shoulder, "I’m serious! You can brag to your buddies all you want, but don't let your sister-in-law find out, got it?"
Henry smiled, "Got it, got it!"
Since they couldn't go further, Henry hugged and kissed Avery for a while before deciding to leave. Avery thought the same, not wanting to get into trouble without achieving anything.
As Henry was about to leave, Avery asked him to spend some time with Miles upstairs. Speaking of Miles, Henry asked, "I noticed your son is quite mature for his age. He seems to understand everything. He won't tell Jason about us, right?"
Avery laughed, "Don't worry, he definitely won't."
"Why are you so confident?"
Avery explained, "Jason often comes home late and rarely spends time with the child. Miles doesn’t have much affection for him. Sometimes he asks why Jason always comes home so late. When I get upset, I tell him Jason is with another woman. Guess what my son said?"
"What did he say?"
"He said, 'If Dad can be with another woman, why can't you be with another man? If you’re with another man, I promise not to tell Dad.'"
Henry chuckled, "Do you believe what kids say?"
Avery said, "Psychologists say sons are closer to their mothers, and daughters to their fathers. My son is the same. Besides, he doesn’t understand adult relationships. He probably thinks his dad is good with other women, and I’m good with other men, like his classmates who have different friends. When he grows up, he might understand, but for the next few years, he won’t."
Henry asked, "So, I should keep buttering up your son?"
Avery rolled her eyes, "Are you pretending to be dumb? You started working on my son since last night!"
