Chapter 1154
After Ninian and Everett had lunch, she took an afternoon nap in his lounge for a while.
Everett was working at the side, while she lay on his single bed. When she smelled the familiar cold fragrance . in his blanket, she could not help but blush.
Everett seemed oblivious. He was seriously typing on his keyboard and calmly seated.
The light from the laptop screen shone on his face. He was cold and white like jade and indifferent like the ice on the mountain, hence people dared not stare at him.

Everett subconsciously breathed lightly. He leaned forward and gently kissed her forehead , while his eyes were full of contentment.
