My Husband is Suspicious - Episode 5
Eleanor looked at his firmly planted arm. His shirt sleeves were all the way down, so only his white hands were visible.
Then, a red spot on the back of his hand caught her eye. As Eleanor fixed her gaze on his hand, Dreid seemed to notice and kissed her cheek lightly.
At the soft kiss, Eleanor turned her head, and Dreid, as if he had been waiting, bit her lip. At the same time, Eleanor naturally ended up lying on the sofa.
His lips gently brushed against Eleanor’s, waiting for her mouth to open. Eleanor ignored her pounding heart and barely opened her mouth.
“Dreid, your hand…”
Dreid softly parted his lips and raised his head. He smiled, meeting Eleanor’s flustered eyes.
“Don’t worry about it.”
With that, he naturally lowered his head towards Eleanor’s lips. Eleanor tilted her head slightly away from him. Dreid stared at Eleanor with a hardened face.
“But you were fine earlier.”
Eleanor said, exhaling. Before she knew it, Eleanor’s cheeks were also flushed red. Dreid chuckled.
“Good.”
“…What is?”
“That you’re so concerned.”
Dreid’s lips moved around Eleanor’s lips. His low breath seemed to be transmitted directly into her nose. His gaze was fixed on Eleanor’s lips. Eleanor took his hand, where the red spot still remained.
“Dreid.”
“Eleanor, it’s really nothing. It’ll subside soon.”
What on earth is it? Eleanor glanced at her own hand. But as she had seen before, her hands were fine. There was no itching, and she didn’t feel nauseous.
Dreid was definitely fine just now when he was cooking. Come to think of it, his arms were completely covered by his white shirt.
Eleanor grabbed his firm forearm. Dreid’s gaze went down to the forearm she was holding.
“Eleanor.”
Dreid fixed his gaze back on Eleanor.
“Tell me, Dreid.”
At Eleanor’s words, Dreid frowned slightly. But he soon smiled. It was a more relaxed smile than before.
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Dreid.”
“It’ll make you uncomfortable even if you know. It’ll bother you.”
“It’s already bothering me.”
“That’s good.”
“……”
“I want you to keep worrying about me.”
Dreid’s lips met Eleanor’s. Eleanor didn’t open her mouth.
Dreid gently bit her lips, waiting for her mouth to open, but Eleanor remained still until the end.
Finally, Dreid parted his lips. Unlike before, he didn’t have a relaxed smile. He stared at Eleanor without any expression.
“Eleanor.”
His voice was even lower. Eleanor didn’t answer and just looked at him. His deep blue eyes, as if angry, turned to her and then averted their gaze.
Eleanor swallowed in the meantime. It was the first time she had ever seen such an expression, and it was also the first time he had turned his gaze away first. Dreid let out a soft sigh and slowly moved away from Eleanor.
Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. She thought he was finally leaving. But as soon as she thought that, Dreid suddenly picked her up.
“Dreid!”
Eleanor shouted in surprise, and Dreid smiled brightly, meeting her eyes. His smile was brighter than before.
“It seems this is too narrow for the two of us to lie down.”
At those words, Eleanor exclaimed in even more shock.
“Put me down.”
But Dreid only kissed her cheek. He kissed Eleanor’s cheek repeatedly as he held her. Eleanor turned her head to avoid his kisses. At that moment, Dreid stopped walking.
“Eleanor, don’t avoid me.”
It was a calm voice. Eleanor slowly raised her head and met his eyes. His face was somehow hurt. It was the first time she had ever seen such a face while living with him. Eleanor felt something strange twitch in her heart.
Then Dreid said in a low voice.
“You know I love you.”
Eleanor stared blankly at Dreid. His expression was completely stiff. He wasn’t smiling anymore.
He started walking again. Soon after entering the bedroom, Dreid carefully laid Eleanor down on the bed.
Eleanor got up a little on the bed and looked at Dreid. He took out a contraceptive pill from the drawer and swallowed it in one gulp. He stood there for a moment after drinking it and then turned around.
Dreid said as he met Eleanor’s eyes.
“Eleanor, I want to be with you today.”
“The baby…”
As Eleanor hesitated awkwardly, Dreid chuckled. He strode towards the bed where Eleanor was sitting.
“Tell me whenever you’re ready. I think I was too hasty earlier. Without knowing what you were thinking.”
Dreid gently brushed Eleanor’s hair back with a soft touch. It was the gentle attitude of her husband that she always saw. But strangely, even that felt unfamiliar to Eleanor. Was it because she had seen his unfamiliar face earlier…?
Or did something really happen to him? Eleanor suddenly thought that what she thought was interference might actually be something someone had done to cause misunderstanding.
But who on earth?
At that moment, she thought that by investigating others, she might become a target for such things.
But the investigation was done secretly. Eleanor opened her mouth with an uneasy feeling.
“Dreid.”
Dreid looked at her, touching Eleanor’s soft hair. Eleanor frowned and asked him.
“Is anything wrong with you too?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Is anyone interfering with your work, or…”
Then Dreid laughed. It was such a pure laugh that Eleanor was momentarily stunned. He laughed for a long time and barely managed to stop. Even so, a smile still remained on his face.
“There’s nothing like that. As I said earlier, the bank is always the same.”
But as Eleanor tilted her head, he smiled brightly and said.
“Oh, there is something that bothers me.”
“What is it?”
Eleanor unknowingly moved a little closer to Dreid and said. It seemed that this matter was not something to be taken lightly. If it was affecting Dreid, he might also be a victim.
She had only suspected Dreid, but if he wasn’t the one interfering.
It was definitely a big deal for Eleanor, but even if she didn’t know who was interfering, she would rather Dreid be a victim in this matter. That way, she felt her heart would be more at ease.
Dreid looked at Eleanor, who had come closer, for a moment and suddenly smiled.
“…I’ll tell you if you kiss me.”
As Eleanor looked at him in embarrassment, Dreid gently touched Eleanor’s cheek.
“Aren’t you going to do it?”
Dreid asked in a soft voice. Eleanor felt uneasy, but she had no choice but to kiss his cheek. At that moment, Dreid’s hand grabbed Eleanor’s waist and laid her down on the bed.
“Dreid!”
“Eleanor, you seduced me first.”
“But…!”
Dreid didn’t stop. He naturally kissed her white neck. As Eleanor gasped and flinched, Dreid slowly raised his head.
“Do you hate me?”
Eleanor exhaled and couldn’t answer. She didn’t hate him. It was just that the whole situation was suspicious.
Dreid kissed Eleanor’s neck and collarbone, as if trying to keep her from thinking any further.
“Hng…”
Eleanor’s mind was confused. She still didn’t completely trust him but somehow, she didn’t want to reject his soft kisses.
Eleanor panted. He knew very well where Eleanor was weak. His breath was getting hotter and hotter.
Eleanor barely regained her breath and grabbed his shoulder. Then, she put strength in her feet and moved up the bed. At that, Dreid raised his head.
“Dreid, I think today…”
“Eleanor, we’ve been married for 548 days.”
Hearing those words, Eleanor paused for a moment.
“…You were counting?”
Eleanor was quite embarrassed. She roughly knew how long they had been married, but she hadn’t counted the days one by one. She just thought it had been about a year and a half.
“I’ve lived with you for 548 days, and on a day like today.”
Dreid gently grabbed Eleanor’s ankle. He drew a line on Eleanor’s leg with his long fingers and grabbed her thigh. Then, he came up to Eleanor in one swift motion.
“I wanted to be alone with you.”
Dreid’s lips were about to touch Eleanor’s. Eleanor only blinked, staring at him. His low gaze was fixed on Eleanor’s lips.
“Do you not want to?”
At that moment, Dreid’s gaze met Eleanor’s. As their eyes met closely in an instant, Eleanor was stunned as if she had forgotten to breathe.
His eyes were different than before. They were pitiful and seemed to want something. He slowly lowered his gaze and looked at Eleanor’s lips.
His hot breath touched her lips. Maybe it was because of his handsome face, but her heart was beating wildly.
She had spent many nights with him, but why was her heart beating so much more today?
‘It wasn’t like this in the drawing room.’
Above all, his eyes bothered her. Eleanor felt like she had done something wrong to Dreid.
And Dreid seemed even more handsome today. Maybe it was because his cheeks were slightly red, or maybe it was because of the suffocating atmosphere.
His lips lightly touched and parted between the hot breaths. Eleanor looked at Dreid as if she had suddenly come to her senses.
Dreid smiled brightly and gently stroked Eleanor’s hair. Then, he suddenly got up from the bed. Eleanor looked at him, puzzled.
“Eleanor, if you don’t want to…”
“Dreid.”
Eleanor ignored her reason and called his name. Dreid turned around leisurely. It was as if he knew Eleanor would call him. Seeing that face, Eleanor felt like she was being drawn to him.
But she dismissed that thought. It was still true that she liked Dreid. It was also true that she needed him now.
“Eleanor?”
Dreid tilted his head as if he was curious as to why Eleanor had called him. Anyway, Eleanor was married to Dreid, and she didn’t hate him. She decided to just think about that for now.
“Dreid, stay with me.”
As Eleanor spoke, Dreid chuckled and closed all the curtains in the bedroom. The surroundings suddenly darkened.
Soon, she felt his lips softly touching hers.
