Stephen looked at her serious expression and replied in kind. “Next time you try to trick me, I’ll play along. “The future is long; there will be plenty of opportunities for me to save face for you.”! He didn’t seem to be joking; he was genuinely considering her words.

Before she could react, Stephen clasped her waist and spun her around, pinning her to the corner. He put a finger to his lips in a “shh” gesture. He didn’t release her until the footsteps had faded away.

Not only had he not picked the lock or slipped through the door, but he had even taken the initiative to lock it. He wasn’t as self-aware even when he was grounded. Hadn’t he posted on social media that he was suffering from insomnia? Why was there no movement now?

Zayla was puzzled and assumed that he had fallen asleep. It was good that he wasn’t suffering from insomnia anymore. Holding her pillow, she planned to go back. The moment she turned around… at she There was a click.
