Covering the babies up, she then rolled up a quilt to make a bed on the floor.

Ethan dried his hair and threw the towel aside. He walked over and took the quilt from Shannon, “I sleep on the floor and you sleep in bed.”

“I sleep on the floor...”

“I have the final say.”

Ethan interrupted her as seriously as he ordered an imperial edict.

“But sir, you will catch a cold and your throat will get inflamed by doing so. It will certainly do harm to your recording.” Shannon responded logically and reasonably.

“One more word, I’ll deduct your salary.” He threatened.

“...” Shannon compromised at the end, and went to bed accompanying the babies.

“Don’t sleep first.” Ethan said again, “You need to be hygienic for breastfeeding. I recommend you to take a shower.”

Shannon answered, “Alright”. She went to the bathroom.

Shannon took off her clothes slowly and stood by the mirror. Then she took a deep breath and forced herself to relax.

There was still the scent of Ethan lingering in the bathroom.

Shannon suppressed her feelings, forced herself to retract thoughts and bathed herself quickly.

Ethan was answering the phone from Lance. They discussed over the attendance of MTV Music Festival and the style of songs to perform.

“Eth, where did you go? We are invited to the music festival. Any idea what you are going to perform?”

“When will it begin?” Ethan put on a white T-shirt and asked Lance over the phone.

“Tomorrow.”

“Well, I’m occupied with something important tomorrow.” Ethan said concisely.

Lance was not satisfied with his answer, “How about tomorrow evening? They promised that as long as we are present, the fees would be calculated by minute. That means, we will earn at least tens of millions...”

“Well. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Hearing a knock on the door, Ethan hung up the phone and put on the fake beard.

When he opened the door, he found that the old lady was outside, looking at him with concern.

“Vince, this is the night-dress I bought for Shanny. The formfitting clothes are harmful to both the pregnant ones and the fetuses. This night-dress is loose. She will be comfortable when she put it on. Remember to remind her to change this after bath.”

Ethan smiled and took the night-dress over, “Okay, mom, I will ask her to change.”

“Where is Shanny? Has she gone to bed already?” The old lady looked into the room with her head sideway.

Ethan pushed her into the bedroom, and poured a glass of water for her, “She is taking a shower.”

“Perfect timing. Get in and give it to her. Vince, you are too careless. How can she be assured to take a shower alone? What if she slips and falls? Hurry in and help her. Her belly is getting in the way, and even bending over is difficult for her.” The old lady got worried about Shannon,urging Ethan insistently.

Ethan was embarrassed, “It’s okay. She is used to bathing alone.”

“She delivered babies for you. You can’t be so careless about her. You should care more about her. Get in and help her. Come on!” The old lady said, pushing Ethan to the bathroom.

Given that he couldn’t either tell the truth, Ethan had to open the bathroom door.

“Ah!” Shannon called out subconsciously. Without her permission, Ethan broke into the room with a night-dress in his hand when she was drying her hair. Immediately, she covered her body with a towel, “Sir, please go out!”

Ethan's gaze deepened as he watched Shannon through the steamy mist. She stood there, wrapped in a towel with her long hair cascading down, her shy awkwardness revealing the soft vulnerability of a young woman. Ethan felt a ripple of emotion stir within him.

The fire in his eyes was suppressed, hidden beneath the surface, while his dark, pitch-black eyes grew even more profound, like a deep, unfathomable pool.

“Sir, didn’t you hear me? Please go out.” Shannon felt burned with shyness. She had expected to summon up her courage through her loud voice. But in reality, she was so weak that her voice was as low as a mosquito.

Ethan turned around unconcernedly, backed to her, and then said in a low voice, “Sorry, the old lady asked me to come in and give you this night-dress. She is outside now. I have to ask you to cooperate.”

“All right then. But sir, you should knock on the door at first.”

“Miss Somers, the old lady deemed us as a couple. We should be at ease to each other.”

“…” Shannon once again stunned. She had nothing to say but whispered, “If so, leave it here and go out first.”

“Actually, she asked me to help you take the shower. You are pregnant in her eyes. She is worried about you. I have to go out with you to eliminate her suspicion.” Ethan said unhurriedly and seriously.

“Alright.” Shannon said helplessly, then she carefully walked over and reached for the dress which was hooked on his index finger.

Ethan still didn’t turn back to her.

“Hurry up and put on, or you will catch a cold.” Ethan reminded Shannon softly with his arms folded.

Shannon put on the dress and whispered, “Let’s go out.”

“OK.” Ethan opened the door, with his hand holding Shannon behind him.

She felt that her heart beat quickly and she suddenly drew back her hand shily.

“Don’t get me wrong. We are just making a show.” Ethan explained in her ear.

Shannon’s head buzzed. The moment she touched his fingertips, her body seemed to be electrified all over. Her pulse and heart bumped hard little by little.

Seeing Ethan holding Shannon’s hand, the old lady smiled with gratification, and pushed the wheelchair by herself, “It is getting late. Take an early rest. And you have to get up earlier for the wedding tomorrow.”

“Okay, let me take you to rest.” Ethan pushed the wheelchair and sent her away.

Hardly had Ethan left, Shannon quickly uncovered the quilt and went to bed to rest. When Ethan came back, she had closed her eyes, lying beside Wesley and Nancy.

However, it was impossible for her to sleep. Each step Ethan paced tugged at her heartstrings...

She tossed and turned and hardly went to sleep all night. Wesley and Nancy were awake for several times. She breastfed the babies twice and were not asleep until the early morning.

The two babies were not by her side when she woke up. She rubbed her eyes and saw Ethan was amusing them next to the stroller.

Seeing this, Shannon felt so warm that she couldn’t help but smile at them pleasantly.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Ethan asked Shannon. Shaking the rattle in his hand, he looked at the babies.

Shannon answered, “Yes.”

Ethan’s looked at her and frowned, “You don’t look well.”

Shannon covered her face and felt hot with a touch. She answered “No. I am fine, sir.”

She tried to get up.

Ethan pushed the two babies over, his face full of curiosity as he stared at her intently.

Shannon, feeling even more embarrassed under his gaze, could feel her face growing hotter by the second.

“Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?” Ethan asked.

“No…”

Shannon walked over him in a panic and went toward the bathroom.

Ethan looked at her back, his thin lips curving into a barely restrained smile.

Shannon was brushing her teeth. At the same time, Ethan was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom with his arms folded. He asked, “Are you thinking of someone?”

Puff!

Shannon sprayed the water out of her mouth, and accidentally splashed to Ethan.

“Sorry, sir, I didn’t mean it.” Before she could answer him, she wiped the water stains over his body with a towel hastily.

“It seems that I have to change one.” His voice suddenly became soft.

Shannon stopped. She looked upward, gazing at Ethan.

Everything seemed to be still, except for her heartbeat.

For the very first time, she looked at his exquisite facial features so closely. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.

“Shall I repeat it for the second time, Misss Somers?” Ethan smiled.

Back to earth. Shannon wiped his shirt clumsily.

“I said, I have to get changed.” He held her arm and then gently removed it.

Shannon fell back awkwardly.

Ethan took off his white shirt quickly. Half-nude, he pulled out a black shirt from his black suitcase. He wore it and looked at Shannon in bashfulness at the same time.

“Are you afraid of me?”

“Oh, no.” Shannon was flustered and turned around towards the bathroom. Accidentally, she bumped into the glass door and bounced back. She covered her head and gave a gasp of astonishment.

“Bad luck! It was just one of those days. Nothing went right.”

As she felt that, her waist was tightened, she flat against a hard “wall”, and then fell into the arms of Ethan within a turnabout.

Her panic was all reflected in his deep eyes.

Ethan couldn’t help but gently lift her hair up on her forehead, and slowly hold her blushing face with his hand.

As her heart pumped, Shannon opened her mouth slightly. However, she found herself couldn’t make a sound.

For a moment, she felt as if she had known him for a long time.

Ethan slowly raised her chin, the mint fragrance lingering in the air and rippling in her heart.

He lowered his head and moved his lips close to her. Seeing her kept dodging, he stopped and unclasped her frustratedly, “Watch your step next time.”

“Are you ready?” At this time, Shirley came in.

“Yeah, we are ready.” Ethan was putting on a black jacket, facing away from Shirley.

He would not meet the outsiders until he masked himself completely.

“Well. My aunt and I will be outside waiting for you.” Shirley went downstairs with no suspicion.

Everything was ready. Putting on her wedding dress and holding Ethan’s arm, Shannon headed for the sacred marriage hall together with Ethan when the wedding march was performed.

At this moment, she felt like being in a dreamland.

She had a dream. When she grew up, she would wear a white wedding dress and marry the boy who saved her in that earthquake. However, she unexpectedly married Ethan.

Although it was just a fake show, she still felt incredible real about this dramatic scene.

If those fans knew that she was holding Ethan’s arm for a wedding at this moment, they would envy her luck.
