Chapter 288
"In that case...then go to bed."
"Oh...I'll sleep here, you can sleep over there."
"Mm."
With the flick of a switch, the room fell into darkness again.
Stephanie was lying on the edge of this side of the bed, about a meter away from Sebastian in the middle.
Each of the two covered half of the quilt, so that the middle was empty, and there was a bit of air leakage.
But they didn't care much at this point, just planning to make do and get some sleep.
Having been scared and cried for half the day, Stephanie's eyes were sore and tired. She was really sleepy at this time.
Sebastian couldn't sleep at first, but after all this trouble, he was also very sleepy.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Usually, this would be the time when he was deep in sleep.
But the girl's steady breathing, as if it were right next to his ear... Even though it was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, and he couldn't fall asleep at all. After a while, suddenly, he felt a movement under the quilt.
Immediately, a soft little body crashed into his arms.
The girl seemed a bit cold in her sleep, and kept snuggling into him.
Sebastian was about to lose his mind... He wished he could wake her up right now.
She clearly didn't see him as a regular guy!
But seeing Stephanie fell into a deep sleep after rolling into his arms, Sebastian didn't have the heart to wake her up.
He carefully pushed her to the side, feeling a little relief.
But in no time, Stephanie was back against him...
After pushing her away several times, she just rolled back.
Sebastian was both mentally and physically numb... He just let her snuggle into his arms and sleep.
But, he himself could forget about sleeping tonight.
Sebastian ended up staying awake until dawn... while Stephanie slept like a log.
Feeling like there was a big furnace beside him, it was incredibly warm.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Sebastian's eyes were bloodshot from the lack of sleep.
He swore he would never share a room with this girl again!
As morning broke, the room became brighter.
With the morning light, Sebastian looked at the peaceful sleeping Stephanie in his arms... his irritable mood due to lack of sleep,
nove
inexplicably calmed down,
He thought of that morning when he woke up, looked down... and saw the same scene.
The sleeping Stephanie in his arms looked like an obedient child.
Just looking at her peaceful face, his heart would turn peaceful...
Forget it; he didn't want to argue with her.
Sebastian's gaze lingered on Stephanie's face for a long time, and then moved to the quilt on the floor.
When Stephanie woke up and saw this, she might recall last night's unpleasant memories and start crying again. Having not slept all night, Sebastian didn't feel like lying down anymore.
He gently got up from the bed, wrapped Stephanie in the quilt, and started tidying up the quilt on the floor.
Including the wet one last night, and the dirty clothes of the two of them, he bundled them up and shoved them in the closet, planning to throw them out when Martin went to work and Judith went shopping.
Then he went to the bathroom to wash up, and after that, went downstairs for breakfast. Stephanie was sleeping soundly, so he decided to let her sleep.
Judith got up early and made
breakfast, and Martin was woken up
by her and was sittingto
eating breakfast. Content.
