Chapter 493
John’s heart shuddered as he looked up at her with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
He knew she was telling the truth.
However, he did not want to set her free.
There was a long silence. Just as Olivia was about to leave, he said something suddenly.
“Stay with me for one night, okay?”
Afraid Olivia would refuse, he added, “Just for one night. I won’t do anything.”
He did not want her to go, and he did not want her to go with someone else. Especially that guy surnamed Hemsworth!
He wanted to ask what it was with the guy surnamed Hemsworth, but he was scared and could only beg her to stay.
Olivia turned around to look at him. She sized him up. “Are you pretending to be drunk?” John smiled helplessly and plonked down on a nearby couch. “Whatever floats your boat.” He did not know how drunk he was.
He was drunk last time. This time, he was half awake and half drunk.
Olivia stood where she was, looking at the figure in the dark with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Digging her nails into the flesh, she told herself that this man was only acting.
However, she gave in after all.
Finally, she breathed in relief. “Okay, I’ll stay with you tonight. Go to bed. I’ll sleep on the couch. It’s late. We should go to bed.”
She just did not want John to pester her endlessly. By agreeing once, she would be relieved.
It was how she comforted herself.
However, John did not budge. His voice was shaking slightly. “Take the bed. I just had the sheets changed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”
Olivia did not pretend to be polite with him. She took off her shoes and lay down on the bed. Then she turned around and had her back against him.
After all this, she was no longer sleepy, so she only closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she felt someone climb into bed and take her in his
arms as she drifted off to sleep.
Although there was a hint of alcohol, it could not conceal the familiar scent.
