Chapter 1642: Henceforth the King Neglects Morning Court

I’ve always known you’re a treasure!

Because of what Thomas Fisher said, Alice Turner risked everything to keep him company and really stayed at home with him for two whole days.

She spent these two days in bed, with him feeding her, giving her water, and carrying her to the bathroom.

Alice very much enjoyed the service Thomas provided, and she enjoyed it without any guilt, considering the high price she had paid.

Since having a real marital relationship with Alice, Thomas finally understood why ancient emperors didn’t feel like attending morning court sessions after having beautiful women.

Spring nights are short, yet the sun rises high, and from then on, the emperor neglects morning court.

He also wished he could stay with her 24/7, disregarding company matters and other trivial things, wanting only to be stuck close with her.

However, Alice didn’t want to be a femme fatale. On the third day, early in the morning, she pushed Thomas away, lifted the covers, and got out of bed.

Having been in bed for two days without getting up, when she finally got up, her legs were a bit wobbly. Fortunately, he caught her in time, or she would have fallen onto the ground.

"Why not rest another day before going back to work?"

Seeing the woman trembling, Thomas felt deeply sympathetic and somewhat regretful for having been unrestrained and causing her to be like this.

Upon hearing this, Alice shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, shaking it hard, "No! Absolutely not."

Having stayed at home for two days already, if she stayed one more day, she’d have to crawl to move.

"Alright."

Thomas sighed helplessly and, whether Alice agreed or not, he bent down and lifted her up, carrying her into the bathroom.

"I want to wash myself, you go out."

Alice didn’t want Thomas to help her bathe. That would lead to indescribable incidents, so she figured it’d be best to prevent it in advance.

Thomas would have loved to shower with Alice, but seeing her determined expression, he didn’t insist. Watching her seeming soft and weak, he wasn’t willing to force her.

"I’ll be right outside. You just call me if you need anything." After giving her a deep look, he turned and walked out of the bathroom.

After leaving the bathroom, Thomas thoughtfully closed the door, as he had just said, he really stood by the bathroom door, carefully listening to any sounds inside, not wanting anything to happen to her.

Alice didn’t waste time; once Thomas left, she immediately turned on the shower to begin her bath.

After a hot shower, she felt much fresher, and after taking a bathrobe from the little lower cabinet and wrapping herself in it, she opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom.

"I’m done; you can go in and shower now."

Seeing Thomas at the bathroom door, Alice wasn’t surprised at all. She pointed into the bathroom, signaling that he could go shower now.

After her bath, she was like a water lily emerging from the pond, fresh and exceptional, beautiful and enchanting.

Thomas’s eyes were glued intensely to the little woman in front of him, and for a moment, he started to have restless thoughts.

"Hurry up and go shower."

Seeing the man intensely gazing at her, Alice knew he was not thinking good thoughts, so she pushed him, turned around, and walked towards the dressing room.

Pushed suddenly, Thomas snapped back to reality. Once focused again, his eyes still followed Alice without blinking until her figure disappeared from his sight before he drew back his gaze.

He took a deep breath to calm the fiery sensation rising within, turned around, and entered the bathroom.
