Chapter 577 Unfinished Protests

He looked unusually impatient. In the dark, his deep eyes shone with a bright, burning light.

Amelia understood right away. After that kiss during the fireworks, he had clearly started having some very naughty thoughts. He had held himself back the whole night, and now his true intentions were finally showing.

His kisses fell softly and quickly across her forehead and cheeks, then slowly moved down to her lips.

His hands also started wandering. When he found the hem of her sweater, he eagerly tried to push it upward.

Amelia felt ticklish all over. She dodged his kisses while trying to stop his restless hands. When she realized she couldn’t win, she switched tactics and tried to sound pitiful. “Mason, stop messing around! It’s Christmas today. Isn’t this a little inappropriate?”

Mason finally paused, but he still kept her pinned beneath him.

He breathed heavily, his forehead resting against hers. “What’s inappropriate about it? Today is a day worth celebrating. Tonight, don’t even think about sleeping.”

Damn!

Amelia had no way to argue against his shameless logic. She could only make one last weak protest. “No! Don’t we have to go to the Christmas event tomorrow? What if we can’t wake up?”

“Ha…” Mason let out a low laugh.

He looked like a sly businessman whose plan had succeeded. “It’s fine. You’re young and healthy. You can handle missing a night or two of sleep.”

Before Amelia could come up with another excuse, he leaned down again and sealed her lips with a deep kiss, cutting off all her unfinished protests.

Outside the window, faint fireworks could still be heard from the distant village. But inside this small room, the only sounds were Amelia’s soft murmurs.

The next morning, Amelia–who had barely slept all night–was forcibly pulled out of the warm blankets by Mason.

“Wake up. We’re going to the Christmas event,” he said.

His voice carried a lazy morning tone, yet he looked full of energy. It was a sharp contrast to Amelia, who looked like her soul had been completely drained.

Amelia slowly opened her eyes.

The exhaustion from last night made her brain work painfully slowly.

She stayed curled up in bed and pulled the blanket over her head, wanting nothing more than to keep sleeping. After a long while, she finally remembered to check her phone.

She pulled it out from under the pillow, unlocked it, and opened WhatsApp.

The moment the screen lit up, a series of message notifications popped up.

She had received several PayPal gift transfers, including ones from Lily and Tim.

Even Clara, whom she hadn’t spoken to in a long time, had sent her a $200 PayPal gift with a short, cold message. “Merry Christmas.”

Amelia simply swiped past that one. Then she sent thank–you messages to Lily, Tim, and the others.

After accepting all the transfers, she casually looked through her chat list.

That’s when she suddenly realized something serious. The tyrannical Mason from last night had given her absolutely nothing.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, Amelia instantly felt annoyed.

Right at that moment, the bathroom door opened.

Mason had just finished showering. The first thing he noticed was Amelia staring at him with a pair of resentful eyes.

He found it a little amusing.

He walked to the bed and sat down. Then he leaned closer and poked her puffed–up cheek with his finger, pretending not to understand. “What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Did you not sleep well last night?”
