Her back suddenly bumped into the soft quilt before Enna Clark could react. The man had already covered her with the blanket like a whirlwind, and pulled her over!
“Sleep!”
As he spoke, the light in the room suddenly went out, leaving the entire bedroom in complete darkness. The only sounds to be heard were the chirping of insects and the tweeting of birds outside.
The man’s left hand was resting on her stomach, hot as fire. Enna felt uncomfortable under his weight, and she shifted slightly.
Just a little bit, and she was warned.
“I just want to sleep right now. If you keep moving, I can’t guarantee that I’ll stay this innocent!”
She stiffened, not daring to move an inch.
Baron Lawrence felt that the person in his arms was as stiff as a stone, and the previous suffocating feeling welled up again. He spoke with displeasure, ‘Enna Clark, what are you afraid of? Afraid that I will force myself on you?”
“I am injured. Even if you wanted me to, I might not be up for it.”
If the incident at the hospital hadn’t happened, she might believe this. But at the hospital and during their encounter on the couch, he hadn’t given any thought to his injuries and had acted like a beast. So when this came out of his mouth, Enna didn’t find it credible at all.
The tender body in his arms was still stiff. Baron Lawrence felt somewhat irritated and smacked her buttocks, stating petulantly, “I said I won’t touch you, so I won’t. Just relax a bit! You’re as stiff as a washboard, how am I supposed to sleep?”
Enna tried her best to relax her body.
However, in the darkness, she still couldn’t close her eyes, nervously observing the man’s every move in bed.
Baron Lawrence closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and hugged her a little tighter. The throbbing fatigue at his temples surged over him, and his breathing gradually slowed down.
Was he asleep?
Enna found it hard to believe that he fell asleep so fast.
She carefully shifted a bit, and found that the man beside her had indeed fallen asleep.
Just as she was about to move out of his arms, she was pulled back in by him catching her waist.
Thinking that Baron Lawrence had been woken up by her, she nervously kept still, observing the man with his eyes closed. But realizing that he was not awake and acted only subconsciously, she dared not move anymore.
The unique cold scent of sandalwood mingled with the scent of shower gel at home seeped into her every breath.
Enna slowly closed her eyes.
Initially, she just closed her eyes because they were tired. But much to her surprise, she quickly fell asleep.
The night was silent.
The summer cicadas outside the window were calling out for the summer from the treetops. Up in the luminous moon, dewdrops gathered on the veins of the leaves, slowly rolling toward the tips like glistening pearls, captivating and twinkling…
Early the next morning.
Enna was awaken by noise.
She struggled to open her eyes as a man’s voice was heard at her ear, seemingly giving orders about work.
Having learned her lesson from the day before, she didn’t foolishly lean in to listen. Pretending as if she had heard nothing, she closed her eyes again to feign sleep.
“Alright, if you can’t handle such minor issues, just go back and f* ** yourself!”
Baron Lawrence tried to keep his voice down, the whole person enveloped in shadows. No one would be happy to be woken up this early, let alone this was his first good sleep in four months. If that woman was not still sleeping, he would have absolutely given the person calling a piece of his mind!
“And, if you can’t figure out what time it is next time, just go to City S and dig coal!”
With that, he hung up the phone. The person on the other end was left utterly baffled.
This… this time… He glanced at the time, 7:30 in the morning.. Wasn’t this usually when Young Master Lawrence would have called him up?
