Chapter 606
Jasmine pushed him away and asked, “Wait, what are you on about?”
Damien kept a straight face and said, “You called me a fool this morning.”
Jasmine thought, ‘This is just an excuse he made up to have sex with me.’ She retorted confidently, “You lifted Tommy so high that you scared him. What’s wrong with me calling you that?”
“You’re right,” Damien said.
“Th–then let me go,” she stammered a little.
Damien paid no heed to her. He pinned her hands under the pillow and said, “Then I’ll get my revenge tomorrow.”
Realizing the punishment was unavoidable, Jasmine turned around in chagrin, kissed Damien, and then clung to him like a koala.
“You like this position?” he asked.
“Not at all,” Jasmine said softly, “Don’t be so petty, okay?”
Damien raised an eyebrow and said, “You think I’m petty?”
Jasmine said in annoyance, “If not, why do you have to pick on me? Every time you do this, I have to stay in bed all the next day.”
Damien sucked her tongue hard and then said, “It’s not my fault that you keep putting off exercising with me every time I ask.” He held her buttocks and said, “I can’t always control myself.”
“Your exercise plan is too tough. It’s enough for me to run every day,” Jasmine thought, “My physical strength is already good, and I even have abs. It’s Damien whose physical fitness is abnormal, but he still blames me.”
“You’re just making excuses to make me stay in bed for a day,” she said, pouting.
“Whatever you say,” Damien took her hand and placed it on his abs, saying, “Do you feel it?”
He was using this trick again. Jasmine thought, ‘I suspect that after I was unconsciously tempted by his good looks before and took the initiative to have sex with him, he came up with this scheme to tempt me with his abs.’
Jasmine was more than happy to go along. She just loved touching his abs, so she smiled and enjoyed the wonderful feel.
Damien took a deep breath, then pointed to his Adam’s apple and said, “Here.”
Jasmine leaned in to kiss his Adam’s apple and then sucked it gently. The rolling Adam’s apple amused her.
That scent made Damien’s mood even more restless. He was looking for an opportunity, but he was already getting a little impatient.
Then, Damien pinched Jasmine’s jaw and kissed her passionately. He pulled her arms around his waist and lifted her a little.
Jasmine’s pajamas slipped off her shoulders. She opened her eyes and finally realized a problem–she seemed to have been tempted by Damien.
Her original intention was to coax him out of his anger, then sleep soundly, and go with Shermaine to find Shirley tomorrow. But she had forgotten her initial purpose, and now she was instead addicted to teasing him.
The gift box fell off the bed. Jasmine said with tears, “Stop.”
“But I want you,” Damien wrapped them in the blanket. He was like a predatory beast and said in a deep voice, “Jasmine, you’re lying.”
“I’m not…” Jasmine’s cheeks were red, and then she couldn’t help but cry.
Damien said, “Tommy inherited your tendency to cry so much.”
Jasmine was silent for a moment before retorting, “I was not a weeper when I was little.”
“Really?” he asked.
She said, “O–of course.”
Damien smiled, then bit her tender cheek. Jasmine cried even harder.
It was all his fault that she was made to cry. Jasmine bit back in anger. She wanted to bite harder than he did, so that he wouldn’t have the face to go out and see people tomorrow.
The next day, it was Jasmine who felt ashamed. Damien openly let others see the hickies on his body, which made Jasmine extremely ashamed and regretful of her impulsiveness the night before.
Moreover, Shermaine had finally returned to the Kingdom of Xyperia, but she couldn’t get out of bed because of excessive sex.
It wasn’t until the afternoon, when her waist was less sore, that she got up. Shermaine was very understanding and changed their morning schedule to meet Shirley in the afternoon.
Thomas woke up early in the morning wanting to play with Gracie. The robot maid picked him up and took him to find Gracie…
All morning, Thomas pestered Gracie at Shermaine’s place. By noon, Thomas still refused to leave. Gracie was growing more and more displeased with Thomas.
Seeing this, Shermaine let him stay for a nap with Gracie.
However, Gracie firmly refused to take a nap in the same bed as Thomas. So Shermaine prepared a small bed for Thomas, placing it next to Gracie’s.
Thomas stretched out his hand towards Gracie and kept babbling. Shermaine couldn’t help but smile when she saw this; she had never seen such a cute boy as Thomas.
Thomas was making so much noise that Gracie couldn’t stand it anymore. She frowned and held Thomas‘ finger, which made him quiet down. He lay down, still holding Gracie’s hand, and fell fast asleep.
The noise finally stopped. Gracie yawned and then fell asleep too.
Shirley had already heard the news that Shermaine was back in Xyperia and knew she would come to discuss matters with her in the afternoon.
At this time, after finishing her official business, she saw a minister hand her a list, which was full of the names of outstanding young men from the Kingdom of Xyperia.
“Your Highness, it has been over a year. I think it’s time for you to choose someone suitable to marry and bear an heir for the royal family,” the minister said.
Shirley rubbed her temples in resignation. She didn’t want to hear anything about bearing an heir.
Shirley said with a stern face, “Alright, stop. If there’s a suitable candidate, I will marry him with great fanfare.”
She liked men who were a bit more innocent. A man with too many complicated thoughts would repel her. It just so happened that all the men who wanted to marry her were in it for profit, not love.
She was now in a position of great power and no longer needed to choose a marriage alliance to consolidate her interests. This was not only because she now ruled Xyperia, but also largely because Shermaine had given her this confidence.
Shirley had always been well aware that as long as Baykeep stood firm and their cooperative relationship remained, she would not need to cooperate with any other forces.
Golden sunlight shone on the sacred and magnificent palace. After ruling Xypería, Shirley had moved her main city to Summerbank. After reconstruction, Summerbank was even more prosperous than before.
Luxurious crystal lamps illuminated the palace throughout the night. Just now, Shermaine had arrived. Shirley had been waiting for her for a long time.
Jasmine came with Shermaine. They had not brought Thomas and Jasmine to meet Shirley, but had left them at Baykeep in the care of their two fathers.
It had been a long time since Jasmine had gone out without her son and husband. The feeling was wonderful.
After meeting Shirley, they started having dinner. Shirley raised her wine glass and said to them, “Long time no see.”
Shermaine picked up her glass, which contained not wine but orange juice. She replied, “Indeed.”
The three of them did not talk about official business. Instead, after dinner, they went to soak in the hot spring. They all enjoyed it very much.
Afterwards, Shirley heard Shermaine mention the crisis in twenty years and the need to send a group of talents to the Kingdom of Xypería now. She readily agreed, saying, “I will send people to arrange this. You just send those people over.”
Shermaine said, “I’m pregnant, so I won’t be able to come again for a while. The person leading the team is my friend, named Henry Jean.”
Then she turned on her Orthish, clicked on Henry’s information, and showed his photo to Shirley. “Let me introduce you first. You can trust him. But I still suggest you keep an eye on the others.”
After all, those coming to study were from all over the Earth, with different purposes. It would be bad if they caused trouble here.
Jasmine and Shirley nodded.
Shirley looked at Henry’s photo and said, “He’s quite good–looking.” However, those eyes of his made him look like a man with deep schemes.
Shermaine raised an eyebrow and said, “He’s still single. If you like him, you can pursue him.”
Shirley shook her head. “He’s from your side, and I’m the queen. A long–distance relationship wouldn’t work. Besides, he’s not my type.” She liked simpler people.
