His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 194

The second time and every time after that, she opened the door directly.

And every time, he followed the exact same routine, like a programmed robot—walking in, sitting down, and never saying an unnecessary word.

She would pour him a glass of water or serve him a late-night snack, and he would finish it, wash up, and curl his large frame onto the far-too-small sofa to sleep.

And every morning when she got up, the blanket was always folded squarely, and Archer was already gone.

What she didn't know was that Archer had been suffering from severe insomnia recently, and only here could he finally get a good night's rest...

On Friday night, when Cindy saw him come in, she even actively dragged her own little blanket onto the sofa.

"Mr. Archer, for you."

Archer took the pink fleece blanket covered in strawberry prints, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"...Thank you, Cindy."

Virginia came out of the bedroom and saw this scene, pausing in her tracks as her brow furrowed involuntarily.

Cindy ran over to hug her legs, looking up with her little face. "Mommy, there's no school tomorrow. Can Mr. Archer come to the museum with us?"

Archer didn't speak, but his dark eyes seemed to light up for a moment as he looked over.

Virginia bent down to pick Cindy up, her voice gentle. "No, baby. Mr. Archer has work to take care of tomorrow. It's getting late, let Mommy take you to bed."

After Cindy fell asleep, she walked out quietly, closed the bedroom door, and stopped beside the sofa.

"Archer, we need to talk."

"..."

"This isn't your home. You have your own family, a wife, a son. You need to go back to your own home."

Cindy was getting more and more used to him, increasingly reliant on him. This was wrong. She couldn't let him keep coming over like this.

Virginia was true to her word.

From that day on, whenever Archer sent a message, she left it on read without a reply.

On the first day, he sent three messages while standing outside, waiting until the middle of the night. Since she refused to open the door, property management eventually escorted him out.
