Chapter 623 Goodnight, Then
“Goodnight, then.”
She slid beneath the covers, yet her body stayed tense.
Darkness amplified every sense. She could clearly hear the steady rhythm of the man’s breathing beside her, and even feel the warmth radiating from his body.
Yet none of it was enough to calm the unease inside her.
She couldn’t fall asleep.
Her eyes stayed wide open in the dark while her mind was replaying everything strange about him tonight like a looping film.
Minute by minute passed. The man beside her seemed to drift into deeper, steadier sleep, while her irritation only grew hotter.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
She quietly turned over and cautiously reached out one finger. Like a restless kitten, she began lightly scratching his firm arm.
Just as she was getting into it, the arm she was tormenting suddenly moved.
A large, warm hand shot out in an instant, accurately catching her wrist.
Then, Mason’s voice broke the silence of the room.
“Can’t sleep?” he turned toward her. In the dim light, his dark eyes glowed faintly, locking onto her completely. “Or are you trying to do something before you sleep?”
His tone carried a lazy, knowing amusement. It was as if he had been waiting for this exact moment all along.
Being caught red–handed made Amelia want to bury herself on the spot.

“N–No!” she huffed, trying to pull her hand back, but it was useless. “I just haven’t been abroad in a long time, and I’m excited, that’s all!”
As if to prove her point, she quickly turned over, giving him her back.
In the darkness, she did not see Mason’s lips slowly curving into a satisfied smile.
His gaze on her tightened silhouette deepened, currents of darkness swirling beneath his calm exterior.
Of course, he was doing it on purpose.
From the moment she said young handsome guys, he had decided to teach her a small lesson.

Be careful,” he said quietly. “Call me when you arrive.”
Her cheek burned faintly where he had kissed her.
But remembering last night’s humiliation, she refused to soften. Instead, she only mumbled. “Got it.”
Then, she dragged her suitcase out of the car without looking back.
Amelia arrived at the VIP lounge as planned.
