The moment I put my hand on his back, I froze.
Are these thick back muscles really what a sickly person should have?
“Had enough?”
His voice sounded a bit displeased, scaring me into quickly withdrawing my hand.
“Want me to take off my shirt so you can feel more?”
I was about to shake my head in refusal when I suddenly noticed his ears had turned bright red.
I just touched him once, that’s all.
Isn’t this the typical reaction of an innocent man?
So, as if possessed, I nodded.
“Okay, then take it off and let me feel your abs.”
On our wedding night, I met my “sickly” husband for the first time.
He took off his shirt and leaned back on the sofa, letting me touch his abs.
“How do they feel?”

I nodded.
First–class!
“My name is Henry Shaw.”
I’m not sure why he suddenly introduced himself, but I nodded anyway.
My hands didn’t stop moving.
“Is nodding all you can do?”
Henry chuckled lightly, looking quite pleased.
I suddenly thought of my cat, who also looks satisfied after being petted.
“I’m going to take a shower. We can continue when I get back.”
Before I could react, he had already stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
I also grabbed my clothes and went to another bathroom.
By the time I finished washing up, Henry was already lying in bed, patting the space next to him.
As soon as I lay down, he turned off the lights.
Before I could see clearly, a hot body pressed against me.
“Fiona,” he breathed into my ear.
“Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
I was so startled I jolted, but as I tried to escape, he grabbed my wrist tightly, preventing me from moving.
“Aren’t you supposed to be sickly?”
Henry’s face was pressed against mine as he whispered,
“Why don’t you find out for yourself?”
That night, I felt like a fish being flipped over and over on a grill.
Hearing my description, Henry’s hand resting on my waist gave it a gentle pat.
“Then you must be an adorable tilapia.”
Liar!
What sickly person?!
It was all a lie!
Compared to him, I’m the sickly one!
8:51 AM
Compared to him, I’m the sickly one!
Henry got up and dressed, while I still lay in bed, struggling to move my waist.
“If you can’t get up, just stay in bed. No one will say anything.”
He adjusted his tie while looking at me through the mirror.
“Rest well. We’ll continue tonight!”
Beast!
At this rate, even if I drank ten cans of Red Buil, I wouldn’t be able to keep up!
Just as I was thinking this, my phone suddenly rang. I struggled to reach for it.
Seeing how difficult it was for me, Henry answered the call and held the phone to my ear.
My father’s voice came through the speaker.
“Fiona, quickly transfer five million dollars over. Your sister wants to buy a house.”
should I care?!”
I cursed angrily. I don’t know what was said on the other end, but my stepmother’s voice came on next.
“Fiona, now that you’ve married the Shaw family’s young master, you don’t need to worry about money. Hurry up and transfer five million over for us to use.”
“Did someone crack open your skull? Who do you think you’re talking to?”
There was silence on the other end, then my father’s voice came back.
“Fiona, how can you talk to your stepmother like that? Your sister is getting married and doesn’t have money. As her older sister, shouldn’t you help out?”
“If they don’t have money, why don’t they just not get married? If she had no money, why didn’t she marry rich in the first place?!”
As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized what I’d said and looked at Henry.
Henry put on a hurt expression.
“Well, I didn’t like your sister anyway.”
Now everyone fell silent.
After a while, my father finally spoke.
“Your sister has it tough. Anyway, transfer the five million quickly, or I won’t give you your mother’s things.”
