Chapter 35
Hearing Kane's words, I nodded with a smile and brought the soup to him.
"My mother used to make this kind of soup for my stepfather. It's for sobering up. I noticed you smell strongly of alcohol."
I found that when Kane stared at the bowl of soup in my hands, there was actually a hint of nostalgia and faint sadness in his eyes.
I was startled.
Could Kane actually have such emotions?
But in a moment, his expression returned to normal, showing his usual slight coldness.
However, I could tell he was still quite happy.
He reached out and took the soup from my hands. Before I could warn him to be careful of the hot bowl, he had already finished it.
Kane smacked his lips and said to me with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. This soup is delicious, much better than those hangover pills I've had before."
I lowered my head a bit shyly and smiled at him.
Actually, this was all my mother's experience. At first, my mother would only prepare hangover pills for him, but Luca would beat and scold my mother endlessly.
He said my mother was a useless waste.
Knowing that after drinking, his stomach felt terrible, yet she only prepared those pills - it was insulting to him.
Later, my mother somehow learned how to make hangover soup, and that's when she got beaten less.
My expression carried a hint of sadness as I smiled at Kane. Kane seemed to notice my unhappiness.
He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? My cupcake, are you thinking of something unhappy? Because of me?"
Hearing Kane say this, I was startled and immediately shook my head.
I said to him sincerely, "No, I'm not unhappy because of you. I just remembered that my mother used to make hangover soup because my stepfather would always beat her, saying she wasn't doing well enough."
I clearly saw Kane's smile slowly fade after hearing what I said.
A cold light appeared in his eyes.
"Luca really has ruined our reputation as men."
I saw that Kane seemed to want to say something. I immediately shook my head and pulled his hand with a smile.
"It's all in the past now. My mother has long been free from that suffering, and you rescued me from his hands. Those things don't matter anymore."
Before marrying Luca, my mother was already seriously ill.
Although Luca wasn't good to my mother, when necessary, he would still give her some money to buy medicine.
If it had been just my mother alone, she would have died from illness long ago.
Before my mother passed away, she probably never imagined I would gain Kane's affection.
So she told me very seriously that before I had my own capabilities, I shouldn't completely offend Luca.
My mother protected me until the very end of her life.
Kane's eyes were as deep as always. He looked at me with heartache in his eyes.
I could clearly see that the emotion was genuine heartache.
I never thought that besides the priest and my mother, there would be someone else in this world who would feel sorry for me.
I couldn't help but feel my nose sting, and I turned my face away.
But Kane turned my face back. His somewhat rough thumb rubbed under my eyes.
"Your mother was the best in the world. Now seeing you by my side, I think she would be at peace."
Maybe so. In any case, at least Kane wouldn't abuse me, and he had given me the most generous material conditions. If my mother knew I was with Kane, maybe she really would be happy. I showed a smile, roughly wiped my face, and stood up.
"Do you want to rest a bit more? Or get up for breakfast?"
Kane leaned his body forward a bit.
But he wasn't getting up - he was pulling me back onto the bed.
I fell onto him, my face against his chest, feeling his burning body temperature, my eyes showing some embarrassment.
"You—"
Before I could finish speaking, I felt that thing below his body harden.
I looked at Kane in surprise, my cheeks burning hot.
"Didn't you drink too much?"
I remembered reading a biology book once that said if men drink too much, they won't have sexual desire.
At least they can't get erect.
But Kane's penis was frighteningly hard now, not at all like he couldn't get erect.
I blinked and looked at Kane timidly.
I knew what he wanted to do now, but I would still feel embarrassed.
Especially after going to the church yesterday, that sense of shame in my heart had been completely triggered again.
I struggled a bit, wanting to get up from him.
But Kane seemed to think I was playing some kind of game with him, pressing me deeper into his embrace.
"I thought you were already used to us doing these things."
I took a deep breath and looked up at him.
"Actually, I'm not used to it yet. I think we need to take it slow. Don't you think doing these things every day is a bit too much? I'm worried your body can't handle it."
I thought my kind words would make Kane consider his physical condition.
But Kane turned over and pressed me directly under him.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly with a half-smile.
"You're saying I can't handle it? Then I really need to show you just how much I can handle."
With that, Kane's kisses fell densely. I went from struggling at first to being compliant.
Since there was no way to truly refuse Kane anyway, I might as well cooperate with him and make him happy.
After all, Kane was indeed very busy outside every day.
I sighed quietly and tried hard to respond to Kane's kisses.
But my kisses were very inexperienced compared to his, still awkward.
Kane probably didn't expect me to actually respond to him.
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and then his kisses became more intense.
He was like a dog that hadn't eaten meat in a long time, constantly biting at my body.
The occasional stinging sensation didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, it brought more of a strange excitement and trembling.
My body was very excited.
At the same time, my body was telling me that I liked being treated this way by Kane.
I took a deep breath, and my expression changed from resistance to enjoyment.
Finally, Kane's kisses landed on my lower abdomen. I couldn't help but tremble all over.
I could even feel a warm flow surge out from between my legs.
Kane was very satisfied with my reaction. He looked at me with a smile, his head still near my lower abdomen.
"I think you can already feel the pleasure in this, right?"
I blinked, wanting to deny it a bit, but couldn't deny my body's physiological reaction, so I could only nod slightly.
"Maybe your technique is too good. After all, I've never tried anything like this before."
I didn't know which part of that sentence pleased Kane, but he clearly became excited.
"So I will be your first man."
