She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 467

She lay in bed with her eyes squeezed shut, but she wasn't the least bit tired; if anything, her mind was growing sharper. Soon after, she felt him enter the room. A warm, heavy presence settled over her, his lips gently covering hers, and her senses were immediately flooded with his distinct, clean scent.

Lyra realized pretending to be asleep was utterly futile...

She felt him pull away to tear open a condom wrapper, and only then did Lyra let out a breath of relief.

His attitude really hadn't changed.

Andrea had said a man with as much pride as Mr. Jameson wouldn't lose himself for long.

He would soon let her go, and let himself go, too.

She tossed and turned all night, completely drained, and didn't manage to fall asleep until early morning when the maids were getting up.

Lyra woke up late. Andrea stood behind her, gently brushing out her long hair, and reminded her softly, "Mr. Jameson is waiting for you in the study. You should eat breakfast before heading over."

Lyra's heart leaped into her throat. She had no appetite to speak of and rushed straight to the study.

Rowan sat imposingly behind the massive desk, clearly having waited a while. He looked up when she entered, but upon hearing she hadn't eaten, he ordered her out, saying they wouldn't talk until she did.

Left with no choice, Lyra hurried to the dining room, managed half a sandwich and a couple of shrimp dumplings, and quickly rushed back.

Rowan was leaning back in his chair, his demeanor as cold and imperious as ever. Seeing how fast she returned, he knew exactly how desperate she was to leave Blackwood Manor.

A cryptic smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his tone turned serious.

"What exactly are your thoughts on our relationship?"

Lyra froze slightly, not expecting him to open with that question.

Rowan's gaze deepened, his inquiry turning even more direct. "Have you ever fallen in love with me?"

The color drained from Lyra's face.
