Love You Can’t Say

Dennis uttered an “OK.”, but his voice was low and serious.

I didn’t catch what they said afterward. I was too sleepy, so I fell fast asleep.

I thought I would be able to sleep at least until the next morning with the help of the sleeping pills. But I woke up early in the morning instead.

The bedside was dimly lit. I was afraid of the dark, so the lights in the bedroom were dimly lit at night.

I couldn’t go back to sleep. I turned over slightly – I accidentally pulled the wound. Ouch! I subconsciously took a breath.

Dennis, who was beside me, was a light sleeper. He heard my movements and opened his dark eyes.

Looking at each other, I frowned, “You go out!”

Dennis frowned slightly and raised his hands to wrap around my body. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Are you going to stay angry with me for the rest of your life?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I pursed my lips.

I wasn’t going to stay mad at him for a lifetime.

But at the moment, I didn’t want to sleep on the same bed with him.

I couldn’t understand why I would be overreacting. But my feelings were very real. I just didn’t want to suppress my emotions, nor would I hide them. I just lashed out all these bad emotions on Dennis.

He didn’t do anything wrong. He was just not a gentle lover in our sex life.

But I was indeed angry.

Seeing me pursing my lips, Dennis sighed slightly, “Clara, you are my only woman. I am so sorry I hurt you when we were getting intimate. I’ll do better and be gentle. It won’t happen again, I promise.”

“So… do you think I should forgive you for this?” Even though I was his only woman now. But I wasn’t convinced that he had only lost control when he was with me.

What an excuse.

Dennis sighed and laughed, “Being so rough to you really shouldn’t be forgiven so easily. When you recover, if you’re still angry, you can do whatever you want to punish me.”

I rolled my eyes at him. And then I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

He hugged me, leaned his head on my shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Clara, I’d be upset and jealous when I see others approaching you. If you neglect me and push me away, I’d feel bad, too. Don’t push me away anymore, okay? I’m your husband, we can work things out.”

His voice was low but gentle. There was a deep sense of sleepiness in his voice. But it was obvious that he was trying to work on the relationship between us.

Dennis was being sincere and apologetic. As husband and wife, it would not make sense for me to keep on being mad at him – Unless I was thinking about leaving him.

After a brief pause, I pursed my lips, moved my body over slightly, and said, “I am still in pain. And I feel so drowsy. But I am having a hard time falling asleep.”

Dennis was holding me, “I know, I know – Close your eyes, babe. Think of nothing, and you will fall asleep soon.”

Mhm…

When I woke up, it was already the next day.

I thought Dennis would be out for work. But when I woke up, he was still lying down. His black eyes were closed, there were shadows on the flanks of his tall nose, which made his nose look taller. He had a short stubble under his chin. Maybe it was because he had stayed up late last night.

He looked handsome and dignified when he was asleep. Without his usual coldness and indifference, he was even more attractive.

I slept very well that night. When I woke up, my mind was much clearer. And I got up to freshen up.

Perhaps my movements were loud – I woke Dennis. He pulled me back into bed and let my head rest on his strong arm.

He gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead. His voice was sexy and flirty, “You are awake, babe.”

I nodded and looked at him in surprise, “I thought you would be at work by now.”

He rubbed his chin against my face and his stubble made me itchy. “I have been swamped at work now that it’s almost the end of the year. I might not be able to spend time with you in the next few days. I don’t have anything planned up for today. I have all the time in the world to sleep in and spend time with you.”

I was not pleased, “But I have to go in today!” JD Tech and the Gibson family’s project had launched already. I had to put some serious effort into the project even though I was responsible for checking up on progress.

“I am coming with you!” Dennis spoke. And he scooted closer to me.

I was shocked, “What? What do you mean you are coming with me?”

He raised his brows as if he was in a perfect mood. He kissed me on the corner of my lips and said, “Are there any rules of the company forbidding you from taking your hubby to work with you?”

Well, Dennis was not wrong – There weren’t such rules.

But!

I paused. I then looked at him and said, “But it would be so inconvenient if you came along!” His handsome looks were attractive. Besides, he was Dennis George! If he were to come into the office with me, people would gossip about us immediately.

“No, babe. Don’t worry about it. If anything, I could make things easier for you!”

Made things easier for me…

Now I knew nothing I said would change his mind.

“I am going to freshen up!” I got up and went into the bathroom.

The winter days were getting colder day by day – It is foggy outside. The water in the house was cold. I turned on the faucet and had to wait for a while before there was hot water.

Dennis followed me into the bathroom. He now had dark circles under his eyes, which seemed to have to do with not getting enough sleep.

I looked at him, “What time did you go to bed last night?”

He yawned, “Two in the morning!”

So late!

It was only seven in the morning – Dennis didn’t get enough sleep. “Would you like to sleep for a little longer?”

He hugged me from behind, joking in a flirty way, “Mario said I should never leave your side.”

What was this nonsense?

“Go freshen up. I am going to take a shower!”

I didn’t know how to respond. I stared at him blankly, wondering why he acted like this all of a sudden.

I couldn’t help but stare at him subconsciously. I averted my eyes for a while, pursed my lips, and said, “You finish the shower first. I will be outside!”

He pulled me by my arm, “What’s wrong? Anything you haven’t seen already?”

I…

Dennis bit on my upper lip lightly, and he said, “Let’s wash up.”

Watching him let out the water, I was a bit stunned, “Dennis, can you take me to see the doctor when you have time?”

His eyes were sparkling, “Are you sure?”

I nodded, “I heard that taking too many sleeping pills is not healthy.”

“Well, about that…” He laughed suddenly. In the bathroom, the water was running. He walked towards me, put his fingers in my hair, and kissed me holding the back of my head with his big palm. He finally let go of me a moment later, “It’s not just about taking sleeping pills. Don’t run away from your health problems anymore, okay?”

I nodded. My lips hurt from being bit by him. I lowered my head, feeling a bit upset, “You are always so rough on me. Of course, I would avoid you…”

Yes, I was telling him what he had been done wrong.

Dennis burst into laughter, “It was all my fault. I will be a gentle lover from now on.”

I pushed him away, “Finish your shower first!” I freshened up quickly and got out of the bathroom.

I wasn’t into peeping people in their showers.
