Chapter 6 Wiping Inside for You

"Because I'm not as strong as your Vivian," she blurted out.

Adrian froze.

Eva froze too. What was she saying?

Regret filled Eva as she realized she had misspoken, but before she could react, Adrian tilted her chin up, and when she lifted her head, she collided with his dark, ink-like eyes.

Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a hawk.

"Are you jealous of her?"

Eva's eyebrows twitched, and she anxiously tried to bat his hand away. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

However, she had no strength left in her hands. Her touch was soft and weak.

This action made Adrian raise an eyebrow, and he humorously grabbed her wrist. "So weak?"

"Shut up."

Eva scolded him, then pulled her hand back, but because she used too much force, her body tilted back onto the sofa.

She couldn't even get up. She really had no strength.

Adrian stood in place, looked at her complexly for a few moments, and then said, "Wait."

Afterward, he went to the bathroom and brought back a plastic basin filled with water and a towel, placing them on the chair next to her.

Adrian soaked the new towel in cold water, wrung it out, and then wiped Eva with it.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing him approaching with the towel, Eva instinctively moved away.

Adrian held her shoulder, his handsome face frowning. "Don't move, let me cool you down."

Eva wanted to say she didn't need it, but when the towel touched her skin, the chilly feeling immediately overwhelmed her, and she couldn't refuse.

Her body temperature was high now. It wouldn't be good if it didn't cool down.

Anyway, it was a physical way of cooling down. Thinking this, Eva let him do it.

Adrian wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead, then wiped her cheeks. As he wiped, he thought of something and his thin lips curved slightly. He whispered, "Eva, you're amazing."

Eva's eyelids twitched at his words. "What?"

Adrian's eyes were as deep as black gems, and he sneered softly, "Playing dumb? It's my first time doing this body-wiping thing for someone else. You're really something, aren't you?"

As he spoke, Adrian moved the hand that was holding her shoulder, pulled her collar back, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, and gently dabbed the damp towel inside.

Eva's face changed slightly, and she held his hand. "What are you doing?"

"Wiping the inside for you."

He answered righteously.

Eva hurriedly and embarrassedly pulled the collar back. "No, there's no need. I can do it myself."

But Adrian frowned at her actions.

"What's wrong with you?"

His hand didn't move, still holding the damp towel on her chest. From a certain angle, it looked like his hand was on her tender breasts.

"I'm not throwing a tantrum. I can do it myself."

Adrian still frowned, staring at her, displeased.

"Are you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud noise came from outside the door. Adrian and Eva both turned to look outside.

They saw Vivian crouched down, picking up something in a hurry.

Adrian's hand froze, and after a moment, he withdrew it with an inexplicable expression.

Eva lay there, sarcastically tugging at the corner of her lips.

Vivian quickly picked up the things from the ground and then walked in.

She smiled gently at Adrian and Eva, as if she hadn't seen anything just now.

"I dropped something by accident. Did I scare you?"

Adrian pursed his thin lips, wanting to say something, but Vivian walked up to him and extended her hand. "Let me do it."

Adrian handed her the damp towel.

"Brian has already explained all the methods. I'll take care of it from here, Adrian. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Eva."

Hearing this, Adrian glanced at Eva lying there motionless like a corpse, then nodded. "Hmm."

Then he left.

The door closed.

The room was silent for a while. Vivian washed the towel again and then approached her with the unpacked items.

"Eva, shall I help you clean up?"

Eva didn't have the energy now. She needed someone's assistance, but she didn’t want to trouble Vivian.

"Should we call a nurse? It's too inconvenient for you," she suggested.

Vivian smiled gently. "It's not inconvenient. I have it all covered. As long as you don't mind me seeing you exposed, there shouldn’t be any problem."

With the conversation reaching this point, what else could she say? She could only nod with a forced smile.

After agreeing, Vivian leaned over and unbuttoned her clothes.

To avoid awkwardness, Eva closed her eyes and didn't notice Vivian's scrutiny while unbuttoning her clothes.

Vivian pursed her lips, her expression not looking good.

If she didn't misinterpret earlier, Adrian was planning to clean her body with a wet towel. He even opened her collar. When did their relationship become so intimate?

Could it be that something happened during the time she was abroad that she didn't know about?

Vivian's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She was feeling uneasy in her heart.

Vivian looked at Eva. Eva had a great figure. Even lying down, her body was still attractive with a slightly rosy complexion instead of pure white.

Even though Vivian was a girl, she could see the beauty of this body.

She lightly bit her lower lip and couldn't restrain herself, whispering, "Actually, over these years, I have to thank you."

Eva had her eyes closed. The physical cooling effect was quite good for her. The sensation of the liquid cooling her body felt refreshing and comfortable.

The heat in her body dissipated a lot.

When she opened her eyes, she met Vivian's beautiful gaze.

"Thank me?"

Vivian nodded. "Yes, although it seems on the surface that Adrian helped you get through a difficult time by entering into a fake marriage with you, I know that your identity protected him from a lot of trouble over these past two years. So I want to thank you. Otherwise, after coming back, it would have been troublesome for me with a bunch of his girlfriends around."

Upon hearing this, Eva was taken aback. She wasn't stupid and understood the implications in her words. Thanking her first to acknowledge her identity, followed by a reminder that her marriage with Adrian was fake to curb any illusions Eva might have. Vivian made her position clear.

Eva pursed her lips and remained silent.

Vivian continued wiping her for a while. Then after finishing, she helped Eva put on her clothes and supported her to sit up. Thoughtfully, she asked, "Feeling better now? Do you want some water? Shall I pour you a glass?"

Eva was indeed a little thirsty at the moment. "Okay."

Vivian went to pour a glass of water for her.

Eva held it and took a sip. Her throat finally felt better.

She looked up at Vivian and told her what she had wanted to say earlier.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about Adrian's feelings for me. He will always keep a place for you by his side. After all, you saved his life, and no one can compare to that. You have also helped me, and I will never forget your kindness."
