President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 280

“No, I mean you...” I wondered why I let Sean sleep here.

I immediately said, “forget it. You can leave now. I’ll see you off.”

“No, since you let me sleep here. I take it seriously.” Sean hugged me tight and took me to the bedroom step by step.

He put me on the bed and knelt on it.

“Sean, I think you are too tired. I just want you to have a good rest, not to sleep with me!”

I got up and wanted to get out of bed.

In the face of Sean, I was really afraid that my sanity would be swallowed.

After all, I just wanted to hold him and rely on him when I was near him.

He hurt me five years ago, but I...

I knew I shouldn’t, but I wanted to jump in.

Sean took my arm. “I’m kidding. Actually, I haven’t slept well for three days. Now even if you kiss it, it may not stand up.”

“Three days?” I looked at Sean. “Why didn’t you sleep?”

“I have a lot to deal with and a lot of pressure. I called the shareholders and the bank. I...” Sean took me to his side and held me. “Let me hold you and lie down. I’ll be fine in a minute.”

His words were very seductive.

I couldn’t refuse him at all.

I nodded. “Then lie on my lap.”

“No, I want to hold you.”

Sean put me straight down and held me tight.

He said nothing.

The whole bedroom fell into silence.

When was the last time I was so close to him?

I was in his arms and close to him. I could hear his heart beating.

“Honey, soon I may have nothing. I may never hold you again then.”

“Why?”

I was nervous to hear him.

“Do you know why I said I will lose if I gamble with him?” Sean held me and whispered. I didn’t speak. He continued, “because in my opinion, business competition should be aboveboard, not private.”

He said.

I didn’t understand.

But soon, I heard his even breath.

He fell asleep.

Great.

I hardly slept all night. It was not light outside in the morning. I suddenly heard a cell phone ring.

“I can stand behind you, like a shadow chasing light and sleepwalking...”

Wsn’t it my old cell phone ring?

But I didn’t use it for a long time.

Soon I realized it wasn’t my cell phone, it was Sean’s.

When he heard it, he opened his eyes and sat up. He took out his cell phone to answer the phone. He said seriously, “hello.”

As he listened to the phone, he got up and walked out.

When he got to the door, he said, “I see. I’ll be right there.”

“Are you leaving?”

It was completely dark outside. It was only half past five in the morning. He only slept for more than four hours.

Sean stopped and hesitated for a moment and said, “do you have a spare toothbrush? Give it to me.”

“Yes.”

I hurried to the storage room and looked in the cupboard for a while before I found the toothbrush I bought many years ago and handed it to him.

He unpacked and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

I stood by and watched him brush his teeth. I found that even if I just watched him brush his teeth, I was happy.

I was a bitch.

Sean brushed his teeth and turned to look at me. He asked me, “do you want to go to the company with me?”
