Chapter 116: Sleep together? Huh?

Vernon blinked his eyes, not knowing how to react for a while.

"Why aren’t you talking?" Helena asked again.

"What is your age?" He tentatively asked her.

Helena looked at him like he had gone completely crazy.

Then she slowly raised an eyebrow and sneered, "So, now you don’t even know how old your wife is? Great husband, indeed!"

"Answer me first," Vernon sighed.

Helena looked at him. She saw that he was seriously waiting for her answer.

Even though she did not understand why he was asking such a question, she decided to answer him, "Thirty-three."

"As expected!" Vernon slumped on the bed. She was the future Helena just like himself.

"When did you come to this age?" He asked her again.

"What do you mean?" Helena was genuinely confused as she did not understand his words at all. "Also, why does this room look so familiar?"

"This is our room from ten years ago. Did you forget?" Vernon answered.

"Ten years ago? What are you talking about? Have you gone crazy?" She asked him.

"I really feel like I have gone crazy," Vernon mumbled to himself sadly.

"Looks like you are trying to get away from me and get a room for yourself. Is that your plan? Don’t even think about it. As I said, we are married and we will be married for life. Just come to bed and let us sleep now," Helena ordered.

"Huh?" Vernon was stunned and he was late to react before he was pulled into the bed and the lights of the room went out.

Before he could understand what was happening, Helena wrapped her arms around his waist so that he wouldn’t ’escape’ in the middle of the night and fell asleep.

He could even hear soft snores from her little mouth.

(How do you want me to sleep like this?) Vernon cried to himself but within a minute he fell asleep as well.

They were too tired after all.

***

In the morning, they woke up startled by a loud ringtone.

"Hmm... answer the phone immediately. I want to sleep more," Vernon groaned and turned around in the bed to continue sleeping.

Helena was as groggy as Vernon as well. She took a pillow from under her head and placed it over her ear so that she wouldn’t hear the sound.

The ringtone did not stop just because the couple acted like they couldn’t hear it.

They turned and twisted on the bed multiple times. They even kicked each other trying to make the other wake up to answer the call.

In the end, Helena lost and stretched her hand towards the bedside table, searching for the phone.

She found it after a long search as she still refused to open her eyes.

Her finger randomly swiped the screen and placed the phone on her ear, "Hello? Who is this?"

She asked in her groggy voice and there was no reply no matter how long she waited.

With no other choice, she opened her eyes and looked at the phone. She found that the call was not answered as she had expected.

She might have rejected the call when she swiped the screen.

Now that she had already opened her eyes, she looked around and saw Vernon’s face right in front of her eyes.

"Ah!!!!" She was startled and screamed loudly.

"Ahhhhh!!" Vernon screamed back and woke up in a startle.

He looked around trying to find a weapon to attack the ’intruder’.

"Who is it? What happened?" He asked with his mind still buzzing.

He got out of the bed with the duvet wrapped around his body. He looked around and found no one as he was now holding a flower vase upside down, ready to attack.

He did not find anyone.

he looked back at Helena, "What happened?"

Helena raised her hand and pointed her finger at him and screamed again, "Ahhh!!!"

"Ahhh!!!" Vernon screamed back.

His scream this time startled her. She blinked her eyes and asked him, "Why are you screaming?"

Her voice was loud when she asked, almost destroying Vernon’s earbuds.

"Because you are screaming. Why are you screaming?" Vernon asked her in the same tone she did.

Somehow they both ended up in... a sort of... a screaming contest.

Helena patted her chest a few times to calm herself and then looked at Vernon, "What are you doing in my room?"

"What do you mean?" Vernon asked.

"You are in my room, idiot. And looks like you slept here as well. Why? How? Why?" Helena’s mind was buzzing with questions and confusion as she asked. Unknowingly she even repeated ’Why’ two times.

"You... You... How can you ask that? You are the one who pulled me into the bed and forced me to sleep with you," Vernon pointed his trembling finger at her, accusing her of her ’frivolous’ character of throwing the person away after sleeping with him.

"You... you are lying. Wait. What did you say? We slept together? Ahh!!" She immediately looked at her body under her blanket in worry.

She blinked her eyes. Thankfully she was fully dressed.

She glared at Vernon, who was still wrapping his body with a blanket like she had molested him. "I am fully clothed. Why are you trying to deceive me?"

"When did I deceive you?" Vernon did not understand what she meant at all.

"You... You said we slept together. You are lying." Helena gritted her teeth.

That was when Vernon understood what she was thinking. He lowered his eyes to find himself holding the blanket like a woman. He was startled, "Ahh!!"

He immediately threw the blanket away onto the bed, placed the flower vase aside, and even slapped his palms to dust them. "Ehem."

"Ehem? You mother..."

"Hey, no cursing. Stop right there. I didn’t do anything. It is your mind that was in the gutter, alright?" Vernon stopped her from continuing and scolded her back.

Helena looked at his ’innocent’ expression and gritted her teeth. "You.. wait for me."
