My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1756

Chapter 1756 Calculated Accident

“Wait. You’re staying up?” “Yeah. I can’t sleep, so I texted a few friends. We’re going to play some video games,” Julian chuckled. Jessie sat up and held his arm. “I’m more important than your games. You’re not leaving.”

Huh. Julian just wanted an excuse to leave. If he stayed around for any longer, he might let his inner beast loose. “So, you want me to stay?” Hoarsely, he asked, “You do know what that means, right?”

Jessie pursed her lips. It embarrassed her to say this, but still, she mustered the courage to speak. “I know. I’m not a kid anymore.” Julian gulped. He leaned down and held her hands above her head. “You won’t regret this?”

“I won’t.” She stared right back at him. I won’t regret this. “Why are you doing this?” he asked huskily. Because of love? I don’t want to force her.

“I-I don’t want you to come down with another cold. Enough with the cold water and shower.” That was the only excuse she could come up with at the time.

But that was enough for Julian—enough for him to see that she loved him. He turned the night lights off, plunging the room into darkness. The only sources of light came from the moon and the twinkling stars outside. The air was turning hot and heavy at a blistering rate, and the only sound that pierced through the air was Julian’s labored breathing. It felt like his breath was made of fire.

Dawn came. Rays of sunshine filtered through the window and into the room, shining on the couple who were sleeping in each other’s embrace on the gray bed. Julian’s chin rested on Jessie’s forehead, while she rested her head against his chest, his arm acting as her pillow. The look on her face spoke of satisfaction, while her nightdress lay on the ground in tatters. Bad quality, perhaps.

Julian woke up first, still in disbelief. What happened the night before was insane, and now Jessie was finally, truly his. A sense of responsibility filled him. He knew he had one more thing to protect now. He kissed her forehead gently as if leaving his imprint on her.

The kiss woke Jessie up, and her eyelashes fluttered as she did. She stared at Julian like an innocent doe, then she buried her face in his chest.
