The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1552

Claire blinked.

"I thank you on behalf of my unborn child."

Exhaustion weighed heavily in her eyes; she was only forcing herself to stay awake to banter with Rory.

"Clan Successor, if you're tired, just go to sleep."

"I can just crash on the couch later," Rory offered, clearly noticing her fatigue.

She was terrified of letting their precious Clan Successor burn out.

This Clan Successor possessed not only incredible medical skills but also an absolute genius intellect—nothing could be allowed to happen to her.

Claire actually didn't mind sharing the bed with Rory.

"Don't sleep on the couch. We've been through so much these past few days, aren't you exhausted?"

"Hurry up, wash your face, and come get in bed."

"I don't toss and turn much, so you don't have to worry about me kicking you onto the floor."

Rory mumbled awkwardly, "I'm more worried about kicking you onto the floor."

Claire just assumed she was joking.

But as it turned out, despite Rory being such an independent and straightforward girl, she was incredibly clingy in her sleep.

She practically glued herself to Claire, clinging to her like a koala.

Every time Claire shifted, Rory scooted right along with her.

Thank goodness the weather was cold, otherwise, Claire might have just fled the room.

When Rory woke up the next morning, she found the Clan Successor staring at her with a highly conflicted expression.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Rory apologized, "I'm so sorry, Clan Successor. Am I a terrible sleeper?"

Claire gave a dry laugh. "Not terribly bad, but... I still think you should probably find a boyfriend in the future."

Rory fell silent.

What did that have to do with getting a boyfriend?

"Nothing really, but you'd definitely sleep much better that way."

Claire explained.

Rory instantly caught her drift.

She grumbled internally: Stinky men were rock-hard to hug, how could they possibly compare to holding the soft, sweet-smelling Clan Successor?
