It might be inconvenient, but it was better than stripping naked before him.

Kevan suddenly smirked, crossed his arms, leaned against the door frame, and watched her leisurely.. "Take off your top. I'll just watch."

He seemed quite certain that she couldn't do it on her own,

Larissa's face turned red, and she protested, "How can I undress with you here?"

Kevan promptly turned around.

"This should be fine, right?"

Larissa also turned around to undress when she was sure he couldn't peek She lowered her head

and used her left hand to unbutton the buttons one by one. Fortunately, the buttons on the hospital gown were large, so the whole process didn't require much effort. She was given a gown that was one size bigger than her usual due to her bandaged right shoulder. She pulled the left collar back, and the entire sleeve slipped off her arm. Then, she grabbed the right cuff and tugged.

on it, taking off the gown completely.

Larissa felt quite proud. "I took it off."

As she turned her head, she saw that Kevan had turned around at some point and was now staring at her.

"Ah!" Larissa screamed and quickly covered herself with the garments.

"Get out! You per vert!" She grabbed some shampoo bottles from the nearby shelf and threw them at him.

Kevan caught them firmly and sadness flashed in his dark eyes. "I was just worried that it would be difficult for you to undress and wanted to help if you ran into any difficulties. You're so stubborn you wouldn't ask me yourself." He turned his gaze to the window and continued to tease her, saying, "Besides, I wouldn't need to sneak around if I really wanted to do something to you. You're far weaker than me, and wouldn't be able to fight back if I actually forced myself on you since you injured your shoulder."

He remained calm, and his explanation made sense,

Larissa's doubts gradually dissipated and she wondered if she had misunderstood him.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. She would gladly take accountability for her faults.

Kevan was quite forgiving. "It's okay."

He placed the bottles of shampoo on the sink and confidently walked out, closing the door behind him on the way out.

"Call me if you need anything."

His voice sounded mu ff led through the door,

Through the door, his voice sounded mu ffled, and Larissa couldn't hear him clearly

"Okay," she politely responded

Kevan became slightly agitated as he listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom.

He didn't expect her to manage to undress herself. He was looking forward to helping her, unfortunately, it all went down the drain. He threw himself onto the soft leather sofa, stroking his chin as he reminisced about het smooth and unblemished back. Although it wasn't his first time seeing her body, she still stirred his heart. He was able to quilt-trip Larissa into thinking she had misunderstood him Since then, he had to be extremely cautious and not let her discover any flaws.

Kevan let out a long sigh, suddenly wanting to smoke a cigarette. It was truly agonizing that his desires were out of his reach these days. But he couldn't bring himself to talk to her openly as the memories of his past experiences were still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to give her another opportunity to reject him. He wondered when Lanssa's hardened heart would finally warm up to him. If he wanted to succeed sooner, he might have to put in even more effort
