Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 3

The man's sharp eyes swept over the living room before landing on the sleeping woman on the sofa.

He frowned and pressed his lips together as he walked towards her. 

Surprised, Kelly glanced over, 

The man had bent over to collect Sharon into his arms. While his actions may seem rough, he couldn't be more gentle. 

"Sir, I'll prepare some food," Kelley said, looking at the man who was carrying Sharon upstairs.

"Alright," The man replied in a low voice.

Kelley watched him enter a room on the second floor with Sharon in his arms before turning around and walking towards the kitchen.

......

The room was decorated carefully and clearly belonged to a young lady. 

Leonard held Sharon with one arm while the other gently placed her onto the bed. 

Just when he was about to pull his arm back, she suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at his face drowsily before placing a hand on his cheek. 

Her voice was raspy, and she spoke softly, "Master Leonard, your trip this time took so long. I've missed you!"

Leonard's eyes softened. He lowered his head to give her a gentle peck on the forehead. His voice was rich as he commanded, "Sleep."

Sharon looked into his eyes for quite some time before finally giving in and closing her eyes. 

Leonard turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. He held her hand and gazed at her sleeping face gentlely. After a long time, he finally replied, "I missed you, too."

She either heard him or was having a nice dream because she suddenly gave a small smile. 

At her smile, Leonard's usual rigid face also broke out into a small smile. 

Knock, knock!

Leonard instantly dropped his smile. 

He got up and covered her body with a blanket before walking out. 

"Sir, your food is ready." Kelley was waiting outside the door and notified him respectfully when he came out.

Leonard walked downstairs. "Did anything happen during my business trip?"

Whenever he asked this kind of question, he was usually referring to Sharon specifically. 

...

Kelley followed Leonard and said, "No, Miss has been behaving herself."
