Spencer was reminded of the kitten he had when he was young. It was tiny, fitting in the palm of his hand. He had found it just a few days after it was born and decided to bring it home. Surprisingly, the kitten wasn’t afraid of him.
His grandmother advised him to feed goat milk to the little feline, and whenever it was hungry, it would affectionately rub against his legs. As it grew, the cat would adorably meow repeatedly when he returned from school, as if playfully scolding him for arriving home late.
He gazed at Charlize, tightening his grip on her wrist.
His gaze darkened, and he had to exert extreme self-control to resist the urge to pin her to the chair and kiss her passionately.
Spencer gulped and closed his eyes, forcing himself to release his grip on her. Leaning down, he tenderly pressed a kiss on Charlize’s forehead. “I’m glad you like it. Let’s head back to the hotel now.”
From a young age, Charlize had been spoiled by Charles. When she first started dating Spencer, she was cautious around him. As he was her superior, she spoke to him with care and politeness.
However, after nearly two months of dating, she noticed that Spencer treated her differently, just like how Charles treated her distinctively from others.
She truly adored the shoes. The car was parked by the road, and there were few people around as it was late at night, so she subconsciously flung her arms around him and spoke sweetly.
However, she soon realized she might have gone too far as Spencer visibly tensed up while holding her.
Charlize’s cheeks heated up shyly.
She dared not look up and replied softly, “Mm.”
They weren’t far from the hotel. Five minutes later, the car rolled to a stop in front of the hotel.
Spencer tossed the car keys to the bellboy and went over to the passenger seat. He grabbed the heels that pinched Charlize’s feet and took her hand, leading her into the hotel.
After switching to a pair of low-heeled sandals, Charlize felt much more at ease.
The weather was chilly, and her feet naturally became cold in the sandals.
However, once inside the warm hotel, she instantly felt warmer and more comfortable.
Back at their hotel room, Spencer got her a glass of warm water. “Get some sleep. I’ll wake you up at six later.”
Charlize had woken up early that day and had a busy morning, leaving her feeling exhausted. She yawned and finished her water before handing her phone to Spencer. “Help me charge my phone.”
“Okay. Go to bed now.”
“Okay.”
Due to her makeup and hairstyle, Charlize had to sleep on her back.
Exhausted and drained of energy, Charlize felt her legs aching after standing the entire morning, even though she hadn’t felt anything earlier.
She changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed, soon falling into a deep sleep.
When Spencer approached her, she was already fast asleep.
He couldn’t help but recall the wallpaper he glimpsed on her phone when it lit up after he connected it to the charger. His gaze darkened as he observed the woman lying in bed.
Later, Spencer woke Charlize up from her nap. It was wintertime, and she felt reluctant to leave the warmth of her slumber. Upon waking, she noticed she had changed positions while sleeping.
Naturally, her makeup had smudged, and her hair was a bit messy.
Charlize initially wanted to remain in bed a little longer, but upon that realization, she dismissed that idea.
Instead of getting up immediately, she pulled the blanket up to cover half her face and gazed at Spencer. Lifting her right arm, she softly requested, “Help me up.”
Her voice was soft and adorable as she had just woken up.
