Chapter 24
"Oh, I just got back from the office; I heard from the maids that you hadn't had your dinner yet, so I told them to bring it here so we could eat together." "It's okay, I just wanted to relax a little; I didn't realise I'd sleep for this long," she explained.
"I think you're tired, it's been a long day," Levy remarked, "take your bath and come and eat." He then went to their closet and collected his clothing. Sandra was taken aback because she assumed he was considering bathing with her. She gave him a horrified expression.
When Levy came out of the closet with his clothing, he spotted Sandra still standing in the exact spot he had left her with a horrified expression.
When he asked why she wasn't having a bath, she looked at him, then at the clothes in his hands. He realised why she was making that look. "As much as I would love to see my wife's figure and body, I know you're not used to me, so go take your bath, I'll use the guest room's bathroom so we can eat our dinner while it's still hot," he joked.
When she heard Levy's replies, her face flushed. She couldn't believe her mind was that wild and above that Levy's shamelessness was on another level. She dashed to the bathroom and closed the door. Levy couldn't help but laugh when he saw her become shy.
They were both done showering in seconds. Sandra realised at the moment that she ran into the bathroom without changing her clothes because she was embarrassed in front of Levy after exposing her thoughts.
She wondered how she would get out the bathroom. She went to their room after calling Levy to see if he was finished with his bath. After ringing and receiving no response, she carefully opened the bathroom door and stepped out wearing the bathrobe that Levy had prepared for her ahead of time. She would have stepped out in her birthing suit otherwise.
She dashed to the closet after ensuring that Levy was not in the bedroom. Before she could go down, she knocked something strong. "Slowly, why are you running?" When she heard the voice,
Sandra nearly fell again from surprise, she glanced at Levy and thought about how come his in the closet above that they're in a highly compromising situation but it seems that it's nothing to Levy. She began eating words because she didn't know what to do or say. Levy noticed her humiliation and said, "Get changed or you will get cold."
Levy left her to change, and as he was leaving, her bathrobe opened, revealing her entire lovely figure. Even Levy, a man who couldn't even fall for a woman, couldn't suppress his passion. He couldn't help bu swallow his saliva, so he walked out before he did anything he'd later regret.
He walked straight to the balcony to get some fresh air and cool himself, but his thoughts were drawn to her beautiful body. He continued to imagine her carves and flawless skin.
Sandra, who was left in the closet, was so ashamed that she stood still. She couldn't believe that in just one day of marriage, she had experienced the worst awkwardness she had ever experienced. "The food is ready," she heard Levy say "hurry up and eat before it gets cold."
She regained consciousness but couldn't find her voice to respond to him. She decided to remain in the closet till he fell asleep.
How come Levy had no idea what was on her mind? So he ordered the mind to "keep warming her food and come back it in thirty minutes." He then ate dinner and went to bed.
After nearly thirty minutes in the closet, she concluded that Levy should have finished his food and gone to bed.
She got out of the bed after looking out and checking that Levy was in it. She took two steps forward when she heard someone pounding on their door and asking for permission to enter.
When the maid arrived with a tray full of food, she realised she hadn't eat anything since lunch. "Didn't Levy say dinner was ready?" the maid said, observing her puzzled expression. "Sir told me to keep warming it for thirty minutes before bringing it back," she said, placing the tray on the table and asking if she needed anything else. Sandra said, "It's fine," and the maid left.
She was deeply moved when she overheard the maid mention that Levy had instructed them to bring the food after some time. It was evident that he had anticipated her embarrassment and had prepared accordingly. As she glanced at the bed where Levy was sleeping, she couldn't help but feel a strange sensation she had never experienced before.
After finishing her dinner, Sandra made her way to bed. However, as she settled in, she suddenly remembered that she and Levy were supposed to share the same bed. Before her awkward encounter in the closet, it wouldn't have been an issue, but now she stood frozen, unsure of what to do. She scanned the room, hoping to find a couch or an alternative sleeping arrangement, but her search came up empty.
Levy had overlooked the fact that Sandra might consider sleeping on the couch since he had previously removed it, leaving her with limited options. Although he had anticipated this dilemma, he made an effort to behave as a gentleman.
"Please, try to rest and don't worry about anything else," Levy reassured her gently. "I want you to know that I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable. It may be better for us to get used to sharing a bed sooner rather than later, especially considering that my family will be arriving in City A tomorrow and staying with us for some time."
Upon hearing the news of Levy's family coming to City A, Sandra didn't panic but rather wondered what could have prompted the Anthony family, who had been thriving in the capital, to return to City A. Sandra was well aware that the Anthony family's success in City A was shrouded in secrecy, known to only a select few. However, she possessed a unique ability that allowed her to uncover these hidden truths long before she even learned about the marriage agreement between the Smith and Anthony families.
She had conducted extensive research on all the prominent families, companies, and successful businesses in City A. Therefore, she was taken aback by her lack of knowledge about the influential force or individuals behind the SAS Group of Companies and Brovard Restaurant and Hotels. Little did she know that they were, in fact, owned by her own parents.
In that moment, a realization struck her. The identities of her parents might not be as straightforward as she had assumed. Intrigued by this revelation, she delved deeper into uncovering their background and the secrets that surrounded their lives.
