Edwin stood in place for a while, then went to another bathroom.

After Caroline had a comfortable bath and came out drying her hair, she saw that he was already standing on the balcony in a dark blue bathrobe. He was holding a phone in his hand and seemed to be dealing with something.

Edwin turned around when he heard the voice and was stunned for a moment.

The pajamas that Joline had asked someone to prepare for Caroline was a pure white, lace-edged, silk spaghetti-strap dress with very good draping.

Although the dress wasn’t transparent, it was very light and skin-friendly. When Caroline put it on, she felt as if she was naked. Considering that there was someone else outside, Caroline hesitated for a while and still put on the robe.

But even so, the silk material stuck to her skin slightly, still revealing her exquisite figure. Caroline had just come out of the bath. Her exposed skin was pink and tender, and it made people want to take a bite.

As he thought about the change in their identities, Edwin suddenly felt his throat go dry. He let out a light breath and shifted his gaze away unnaturally.

Then, he saw her hair dripping with water and immediately said, “I’ll dry your hair for you.”

Before Caroline could stop him, he had already taken out the hairdryer and walked over.

Caroline wanted to take it. “I can blow it myself.”

However, Edwin gently and firmly held her shoulders, turned her around, and pressed her down on the bed. “I want to help you blow it.”

Caroline pursed her lips. She did not say anything and let him do what he wanted.

The sound of the hairdryer rang out, and she felt a gentle force pushing her hair aside. Then, the warm wind fell on the back of her head.

“It’s my first time drying someone’s hair,” said Edwin. “I’m not very familiar with the job, so if I pull your hair or the temperature is too high, you must tell me.”

Ever since she was five years old, Caroline had been forced to be independent. She had long forgotten the feeling of being cared for. She felt very warm and uncomfortable.

Caroline suddenly grabbed onto Edwin’s hand and turned around to look at him.

“What’s wrong? Did I move too much and hurt you?” he asked. Edwin quickly turned off the hairdryer.

Caroline shook her head. “No, your movements were very gentle.”

“Is the hairdryer too hot? I adjusted it to the lowest setting. If it’s still too hot, I’ll get someone to buy all the hair dryers on the market tomorrow and see which one has the most suitable temperature.” Caroline still shook her head. “It’s not the problem with the hairdryer.” “That… Is it my problem?” Edwin was a little hesitant.

“Yes, it’s your problem.” As soon as Caroline finished speaking, Edwin’s body stiffened. He pursed his lips and looked a little lonely. “Did I do something wrong?”

Caroline knew that he had misunderstood her the moment she saw his expression. She held his hand and pulled him to the bed.

Caroline looked at him. ‘You didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, it’s because you did too well. It was so good that I’m not used to it. Edwin, you don’t need to do these things for me.” For example, he helped her change her shoes, massaged her feet, dried her hair, and so on.

Edwin was stunned for a moment. “You don’t like me doing these things for you? Do you think that I have no sense of boundaries and have offended you?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I’m not used to it. I’m used to doing things that I can do.” Caroline hesitated for a moment but still said it directly. “Also, I don’t want to see you bend over for me to do these trivial things. You don’t have to come and curry favor with me.”

After listening to her explanation, Edwin suddenly buried his head in her shoulder and laughed.

The heat came from under her ears, and Caroline felt a little ticklish. She wanted to push him away. She was puzzled. “What are you laughing at?”

Edwin laughed for almost a minute before he stopped. He lifted his head and looked at Caroline with his teary eyes. “Do you think that I did all these things for you to please you?”

Caroline nodded and asked, “Don’t you?”

Edwin shook his head and caressed Caroline’s face with his right hand. “I’m doing all this for you because I want to, not to please you.”

He gently caressed Caroline’s lips with his thumb, then leaned over and bit her lower lip. “As soon as I see you, I can’t help but want to get close to you and do something for you..”
