The children, tired from playing, had gone to bed early, though their excited chatter seemed to still echo in the room. Lin Yuhui, with his arm around Grace's waist, slowly walked onto the balcony, gazing at the vast desert stars, trying to awaken her memories of her time with Theodore, hoping to glean some useful clues about his death.
Grace wore a silky, deep red robe-like nightgown, with a deep V-neck and a hem reaching her calves. It had no buttons, only a belt tied around her waist.
She tightened the belt slightly, highlighting the slenderness of her waist and the contrast between her hips and thighs. She also lightly tugged at the left side of the bodice, pulling it up slightly from the tight belt, making her upper body and neckline appear more relaxed and revealing her fair, voluptuous figure.
This was undoubtedly tempting to Lin Yuhui. He leaned against Grace, his hand on her waist, and could see the view from her neckline when he looked down. But what he wanted more was to find some clues about Theodore's death from Grace's memories. Conflict of interest? Or a crime of passion? Although unlikely, it couldn't be ruled out, but he couldn't ask directly, "Did you have other men outside?" That wouldn't do. He could only have a simple conversation.
"Grace, did I often watch the stars with you on this balcony in the past?"
"Yes," Lin Yuhui searched her memory, but only found fragmented images of life. He had to change his approach.
"I can only remember parts of my past, before Hunter. Was there any wish I made to you that I didn't fulfill?"
Grace was silent for a long time, her mind filled with comparisons between her intimate moments with Theodore and the times Lin Yuhui used Hunter's body.
Lin Yuhui didn't understand why she was comparing these things. He had specifically asked her about her past with her ex-husband, so he had to ask her directly.
"Grace, I suspect I was murdered before, and I need to..." "I don't know why, but if I'm harmed again, I won't be able to play with you and the children anymore. Think about it, did I say anything suspicious to you before?" As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuhui sensed Grace's disappointment. She seemed to be a very emotional woman, and aside from some everyday snippets of Theodore's life, her thoughts didn't contain any particularly valuable information.
"I only remember you being very busy in the past, and rarely spending time with me like this," Grace said, her voice tinged with sadness.
Lin Yuhui didn't want to further dampen her spirits, so he remained silent, gently pulling Grace closer to him with his hand on her waist. Her back pressed against his body, the night breeze warming her cool frame.
The night deepened, and Grace turned her head, her cheek against Lin Yuhui's chest, feeling his warmth through his shirt. Lin Yuhui's hands, wrapped around her waist, slid down the smooth fabric of her pajamas, feeling the softness of her skin. But in the cold night air, they were cold.
So Lin Yuhui let his hands continue down her body, reaching her lower abdomen, where he placed them to warm her.
The evening breeze gently caressed Grace's skirt, softly stirring Lin Yuhui's legs. Her body, as if affected by the wind, swayed gently in Lin Yuhui's arms, though it was a little chilly.
Only then did Lin Yuhui realize how stubborn he had been, continuing to stand outside in the cold. Grace, too, simply leaned against him in the cold wind, showing no intention of going inside.
"The night air is getting chilly, let's go inside," Lin Yuhui said,
swaying gently, like a sway in the wind, or a tender, lingering movement. After a while, Grace seemed to snap out of her reverie and answered,
"Okay," she said, turning around and taking Lin Yuhui's hand as they returned indoors. Turning back to gaze into his eyes, she softly asked,
"Theodore, promise me you'll forget Hunter's memories and just be my Theodore, okay?"
With that, Grace leaned against Lin Yuhui's chest, one hand on his shoulder, the other on his chest, feeling his warmth as she moved it down to feel the strong lines of his body.
Lin Yuhui gazed at Grace before her. Gradually, Grace became dissatisfied with the sensation of touching her through the fabric of her shirt. She gently unbuttoned her shirt, one hand around her lower back, the other sliding down from her chest to her abdomen.
Lin Yuhui looked at the body she was using; the basic physique was indeed quite good: well-defined pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, low body fat percentage, and high levels of hormones.
Grace's hand felt smooth and light. As Grace's hand slid down, Grace playfully tilted her head back, looking down at Lin Yuhui, and slowly squatted down. She lowered herself to his level, unbuckled his belt, and said with a grin,
"You shouldn't be dressed like this in the bedroom," she said, then looked up at Lin Yuhui with a wide smile.
Lin Yuhui knew what she wanted, but he didn't know how to refuse her without hurting her feelings. However, Lin Yuhui himself doubted himself; was this just an excuse? He needed a woman. Although he wasn't the kind of man who couldn't live without women, he always longed for a woman who could give him care, the deepest love a man could have for a woman. But his heart already belonged to someone else, yet he couldn't resist the temptation before him.
Seeing him silent, Grace didn't say anything more, just smiled and continued her actions, completely immersed in her own pleasure. At first, she merely lifted the hem of her dress, kneeling on one knee before Lin Yuhui. Then she lifted the other side of her dress, kneeling on the other leg, her face tilted upwards as she looked at him, seemingly waiting for him to say something.
Seeing his continued silence, Grace finally spoke,
"Theodore, marry me, darling, marry me again."
Ah, Lin Yuhui was overwhelmed with emotion. The one he loved didn't love him, while the one he didn't love was so devout, kneeling before him. He looked up, questioning the depths of his heart: should he still uphold the promise he held?
But Grace's hands were so gentle, her lips so passionate. Lin Yuhui stared at the ceiling, momentarily at a loss for words to answer her yearning.
Every movement, every smile, revealed the unwavering devotion of a woman truly yearning for a man; her kneeling, her kiss, a woman's surrender to her man.
Through the curtains, in the dim night, the distant desert mountain ranges resembled the curves of Grace's spine, and Lin Yuhui felt as if he were floating above the earth, the vast land supporting his body, allowing him to float and soar freely in the air, yet rooted to the warmth of his home, preventing him from being swept away by the wind and drifting aimlessly.
With his light body, he seemed capable of flying higher; he wanted to reach the higher skies, to where she was, but he also felt unworthy to think of her anymore, because his body was tainted. No, this body wasn't even his own anymore; it had been used carelessly by Hunter before. Only his heart, the heart that had promised to belong only to her, was no longer pure and innocent.
