"You just need to oversee the children, you don't need to do it all on your own," Elliot said before she fell asleep. He asked, "How is your recovery?"

Avery had a cesarean section. Compared to natural birth, it was much more damaging to the body.

Avery was suddenly awake due to Elliot's concerns. Why was he suddenly concerned about her recovery? Asking this at that moment was hard to not let overthink.

"Women can't have sex within three months of giving birth. This is common knowledge." Avery's tone tightened.

"What nonsense are you thinking?" Elliot's breathing turned heavy. He said in a low voice, "I'm asking you how your recovery is. I never said anything about sleeping with you."

Avery let out a sigh of relief. "It's going well!"

Her nonchalant answer made him turn the lights on.

Seeing the room lights turned on. It pierced her eyes. "What are you doing? Are you not tired because you slept in the afternoon? If you're not tired…"

Elliot sat up and flipped her covers aside.
