Chapter 97 | Asking for help
Dexson could see the look on Caroline's face as she tried to remember something.

"Dexson, I remember my offer of help. But I don't remember anything else," Caroline said softly.

"I'm not forcing you to remember if you really don't. Don't you trust me? Do you doubt me?" asked Dexson.

"You know I'm just talking nonsense, trying to trap you because of the sleeping together thing?" he continued.

"That's not what I meant, Dexson. I just want to make sure of something," Caroline muttered, staring at Dexson.

"What do you want to make sure of, Caroline? If you're uncomfortable sleeping together, we can go back to sleeping in our own rooms." Dexson found it difficult to say that, but hopefully Caroline wouldn't respond to his words.

"It seems that Dexson doesn't fully understand my illness, but why did I forget? Caroline was certainly surprised at herself.

"I have to check on my own condition," she continued in her heart.

"Okay, I won't force myself to remember, and we'll continue to help each other. You probably already know about my fears, and you can calm me down again," said Caroline.

"I hope you can not only calm me down, but also take away that fear," Caroline said softly.

"I'll definitely try," said Dexson as he pulled Caroline into his arms.

"Thank you," replied Caroline softly.

Dexson smiled slightly, happy that Caroline was relying on him.

Caroline released Dexson's embrace. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower and make breakfast first." Actually, Dexson really wanted to forbid Caroline from doing housework, such as cooking or anything else.

But if he did that, Caroline would definitely get angry and feel that he was being too much.

"Okay," replied Dexson with a forced smile.

"You go out first," said Caroline with an awkward chuckle.

Dexson obeyed and left Caroline's room. He then decided to take a shower and clean the house so that Caroline wouldn't be too tired and could just cook.

They had just finished breakfast and were now chatting in the living room.

"Are you serious about taking a few months off?" asked Caroline.

"Yes, Caroline. Why? Do you want to go somewhere else?" replied Dexson.

"Not for now, maybe if I want to go to an entertainment venue, I'll take you with me," said Caroline with a smile.

"Of course you have to take me," said Dexson firmly.

"So, what do you want to do today?" asked Dexson, gently stroking Caroline's head.

"Today I want to be lazy, especially since you've done all the housework, so I can just relax," replied Caroline with a chuckle.

"Okay, that's much better." Hearing that, Caroline immediately looked at Dexson.

"Oh my gosh, Dexson. You like me being lazy?" Caroline was quite surprised to hear Dexson's casual response.

"Of course, because housework isn't your job. So relax as much as you want," Dexson replied.

"You're like my dad who always disliked my mom doing housework," Caroline said, leaning her head on Dexson's chest.

Dexson moved back a little so that Caroline and he would be comfortable in that position.

"That means your father loves your mother very much," said Dexson as he hugged Caroline's waist.

"That's true, but my mother also wouldn't let anyone else serve my father. She was very jealous," Caroline said with a chuckle. She remembered very well that when a female servant served her father, her mother immediately became angry and sulky because she felt that her father no longer needed her.

"Really? So you like doing housework because you're following your mother's example," Dexson replied with a soft laugh.

"It could be like that, Dexson. I am indeed capable of hiring a maid, but when I serve my husband myself, I feel a sense of satisfaction. Especially if the man I love also appreciates me. Doing simple things, like praising my cooking or other things, really makes me happy," explained Caroline.

"If only you hadn't met Damian, and we had met and fallen in love first. We would definitely live happily ever after," Dexson thought to himself.

That night.

Caroline had just finished showering, while Dexson had just finished preparing fruit slices for himself and Caroline. Then Dexson took them to Caroline's room.

When he opened the door, Dexson saw Caroline drying her hair.

"Caroline, are you done with your period?" asked Dexson, swallowing slowly. Caroline looked sexy to him as she dried her hair.

"Yes, I just finished," replied Caroline without looking at Dexson, because she was still focused on drying her hair.

Dexson walked closer to Caroline, before placing the fruit he had brought on the room table. Then he hugged Caroline from behind.

"Caroline, can you help me tonight?" Dexson whispered right into Caroline's ear.

Caroline stopped drying her hair when she heard Dexson's words.

Dexson cleared his throat softly when he saw that Caroline looked quite surprised. "I won't force you," Dexson said with a slight smile.

"Are you holding back your passion?" Caroline asked, a little nervously.

"You can feel it yourself," Dexson replied in a slightly heavy voice.

"Let me dry my hair first," said Caroline.

"I'll help you, then we'll eat some fruit first. I've prepared it for you," replied Dexson.

Dexson took the hair dryer from Caroline's hands and slowly directed it towards her hair.

Caroline didn't refuse; she let Dexson help her dry her hair.

"If you really can't control your passion, I'll help you later," said Caroline.

Dexson paused, surprised. He thought Caroline would refuse.

"Thank you," replied Dexson enthusiastically. His face looked very happy.

Caroline cleared her throat softly, thinking it wouldn't hurt to help Dexson. Later, she could also find a way to avoid getting pregnant.

"But don't be too rough," Caroline said softly.

"Okay. I'll try," said Dexson with a slight smile. Dexson also kissed Caroline's shoulder, which gave Caroline goosebumps, but Caroline tried to act normal.

"Don't rush it. It's not too late yet. You said you prepared some fruit for me?" Caroline said nervously.

"Right, let's relax first," Dexson replied with a small smile. Seeing Dexson's smile made Caroline even more nervous.
