Chapter 58
At the same time, the lamp at the head of the bed was switched on by the person standing beside the bed. Jocelyn looked at the man standing by the bed, startled. Her heartbeat went back to normal after a long time.
She glared at the man who had appeared in her room in the middle of the night, expression ugly. “What are you doing in the middle of the night?”
This feeling of shock in the middle of the night almost scared her silly.
Skyler’s expression was unsmiling and he said nothing. Jocelyn had been scared out of her wits. Seeing that Skyler was not saying anything, she felt inevitably angrier. “Do you know that people can die from fright? Were you sleepwalking in the middle of the night?”
Skyler looked at Jocelyn with a dark look.
He knew that it was not right for him to suddenly appear in Jocelyn’s room in the middle of the night.
However, he really could not sleep.
He had taken a shower and went to bed early, but he just could not stand the smell so he got out of bed and took another shower.
However, even with that, he still could not sleep. He had secretly bought the same shampoo and shower gel as Jocelyn but found that the smell was not the same as that on Jocelyn at all.
He was so cranky. He got up and popped several mints in one go but still, it could not suppress the irritation he felt.
He was not able to fall asleep either when Jocelyn was not around before. Alas, it really had not been as hard to bear.
He really did not think he would not be able to endure the situation, he felt like someone who quit smoking just by saying he would quit smoking.
Unfortunately, he was now shocked to find out that he just could not stand the feeling of not being able to sleep. He did not want to take sleeping pills, so he had wanted to come over to figure out just what the scent was on Jocelyn’s body.
He did not expect Jocelyn would wake up in the middle of the night!
However, he could not just say now in this situation that he had just come to sneak a whiff of what Jocelyn smelled like. He would sound like a pervert, it would cheapen him too much
Skyler’s eyes flashed. Looking at Jocelyn who was suppressing her annoyance, he spoke, “I missed the bed, thought of coming over to sleep!”
Jocelyn knew that this was the master bedroom and that Skyler would have slept here previously
Although she had been scared out of her skin, she had no reason to refute Skyler’s words.
She tamped down her anger, took a deep breath, and decided to get out of bed. “I’ll go sleep next door then!”
In the end, before her feet even landed on the ground, Skyler grabbed her arm. His expression was sullen. “No need, the bed is big, you can have half of it. I’m not that selfish!”
Jocelyn frowned. “It’s not a matter of selfishness. You want to keep your distance from me so that I wouldn’t get the wrong ideas so naturally, I wouldn’t dare sleep with you! If I do something that makes
you misunderstand me again, you would think that I’m having whatever thoughts about you again. I really don’t want to explain things to you again and again!”
Skyler looked at her silently. Here he thought she liked explaining things!
She had explained to him several times in a day that she had no intentions toward him!
Even if he used to think that way, he would not think of it now.
The moment Jocelyn said her piece, the housekeeper shouted anxiously from outside,” Madam, I heard you scream just now. Are you all right?”
Skyler frowned and raised his voice. “Everything is all right. I’m just messing around with her. Don’t worry!”
Jocelyn stared at Skyler. Her gaze was as if asking who would even want to mess around with him!
Skyler ignored Jocelyn’s expression and said bluntly, “Don’t worry, I believe you now that you have no intentions toward me. You don’t have to explain anymore. Go to sleep!”
Jocelyn was still frozen in place.
Skyler was getting a little impatient. “If I asked you to sleep, just sleep. I won’t do anything to you! What are you so worried about?!”.
Jocelyn’s lips moved and she looked at Skyler with a complicated expression. “Mr. Moore, I really don’t understand what you are trying to do. You’re the one who did not want me thinking funny things and you’re the one who wants me to share the bed with you. Just what are you…”
Skyler’s expression was also somewhat ugly. He just could not say, that he wanted to hug Jocelyn to sleep.
With a cold expression, his attitude was overbearing and indifferent. “Jocelyn, did you forget what I told you when we got the certificate?”
Jocelyn was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Skyler parted his thin lips slightly and uttered the words slowly, “We are to carry out our obligations as husband and wife!”
Jocelyn’s expression suddenly changed.
She was silent for a few seconds before she raised her head to look at Skyler. “Mr. Moore, if I understood this correctly, what you’re trying to say is that, while I can’t get any funny ideas about you, I have to fulfill your requests and my duties as a wife. Is that right?” Skyler looked at her blankly. “Your understanding is thorough!”
