My Sexy Wife novel Chapter 19

"How could he have no dad?" Johnny felt puzzled at heart, but he didn't ask anything else because he could tell that Jasmine disliked it when others asked about that.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Jasmine suddenly asked after a very long time.

"That's privacy."

"I don't care about your privacy. I just hope that you'll be responsible as you’re getting paid by me. If you have a girlfriend, please explain this job clearly to her. Don't let her think of something bad and trouble me." Jasmine said flatly.

"Don't worry, I'm single. I don't even have relatives in this city, let alone a girlfriend. You can rest assured!" Johnny sneered.

Jasmine just looked at Johnny and didn't say anything, and after some time she only said, "That's good, then."

"You really don't know how to keep a conversation going, do you? I don't have a girlfriend and you say 'good'? What does that mean?" Johnny couldn't help saying that.

"All right, just sleep. Turn the table lamp on your side off. No, forget it, don't turn it off." Jasmine first told him to turn the lights off, but soon after she hurriedly said don't turn it off. Johnny knew clearly why she said that. Any woman who was going to sleep in the same bed with an unfamiliar man wouldn't feel safe about it. Keeping the lights on was actually just for some sense of security in her heart.

Even though Johnny said he's going to sleep, he couldn't actually fall asleep of course. In a new environment and a stranger's bed... Surely, that's not the main point. He had never had difficulties sleeping in somewhere other than his own bed. As long as he's tired and sleepy he could sleep anywhere. But the problem was, someone's son was hugging him and someone's wife was sleeping by his side, which felt inexplicably strange.

Johnny couldn't sleep, while Jasmine was even worse. She felt so nervous at heart. She's afraid that Johnny was a beast that would suddenly crawl up and do something immoral to her.

The two of them didn't fall asleep but none of them said anything. They both opened their eyes widely as they stared at the ceiling.

After quite some time, Johnny suddenly crawled out of the bed.

"Ah!" Jasmine immediately crawled up once she saw Johnny get up. Almost reflexively, she lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed. She was groping around and in the end she took a slipper from the side of the bed. She nervously spoke, "What are you going to do? I tell you what, don't mess around, I'm a lawyer."

Johnny just sat on the bed and looked at Jasmine speechlessly. He was bemused at what Jasmine was going to do. Seeing Jasmine's strange action, he asked after a while, "What are you doing? Sleepwalking?"

Jasmine was also stunned. Seeing that Johnny didn't seem like he was going to do something bad to her, she stuttered, "You... You... What are you going to do? Why did you get up?"

"I have to pee so I'm going to the toilet. What do you think I was going to do?" Johnny asked her back.

"N-nothing, I'll turn the lights on for you." Jasmine blushed in an instant at Johnny’s words and found a make-do excuse. It was really so awkward that it couldn't go worse.

"The lamp here is already on. Don't bother." Johnny pointed at the bright table lamp as he said that. He then put on his shoes. "You can just sleep peacefully. I'm not a gentleman or something, but I'm absolutely not a bastard who'd take advantage of others' difficulties. Since you're letting me sleep here then you should trust me. Otherwise, we'll both feel bad. If you don't trust me then you shouldn't let me stay here. There should at least be trust between people. Sam wouldn't be woken up anymore I guess. It's almost 2 o'clock. I'm going back first. Call me again if he makes a fuss and asks for me tomorrow night!" Johnny felt uneasy at heart when he looked at Jasmine who was so on guard with him. It was impossible not to be angry.
