After dinner, Angela returned to her room quickly. She was unable to sit still as she listened to the sound of water in the bathroom.
Today, Jonathan skipped his usual study session and headed straight to the bathroom for a
shower.
He was back, so were they going to sleep together?
Angela lay under the blanket and wrapped herself tightly. She even used her body to press down on the corners and edges to prevent herself from sleeping improperly. She didn’t want to end up in his arms and get too handsy with him.
Wrapping herself so securely should limit her restless movements, right?
After a while, the sound of water stopped, and Jonathan came out in a bathrobe. He casually dried his hair while looking at Angela, who had wrapped herself into a cocoon, with a momentary pause.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
Angela narrowed her eyes. “This way, I won’t disturb your sleep.”
He pursed his lips and continued drying his hair. “Go to sleep early. Tomorrow is Christopher’s engagement banquet, and as my wife, you need to attend with me.”
“Okay.” Angela blinked as she sensed an underlying meaning in his words. “Aren’t you going to sleep early?”
Jonathan said in a low voice, “I’m going to the study.”
Is he going to the study to work for another night?
Did he really not take her advice to heart?
Angela lifted her gaze and quickly scrutinized him before lecturing sternly. “You haven’t rested properly for two or three days. You can’t work anymore, Jonathan. Let’s go to sleep.”
Then, she silently shifted to the other side of the bed while pointing to the vast space in front. “This is your spot.”
After a moment, she grabbed a cartoon plush toy from the bedside table and placed it in the middle. “This is the boundary line. I will not cross it to avoid affecting you.”

Jonathan stared at the boundary in the middle with faint eyes and then lay down expressionlessly.
Upon seeing him actually lay down, Angela was a bit stunned.
She also felt somewhat gratified that he finally listened.

Angela lay back down in satisfaction and tried to sleep. However, after turning off the lights, her auditory senses became more sensitive.
Although there was a boundary line between them, in reality, the two were very close. With her eyes closed, she could even hear the man’s subtle breathing.
It was faint, but to her, it sounded particularly loud, knocking at her ears one after another
Furthermore, the man carried a fresh and invigorating scent after his shower.
It was very pleasant.
“Can’t sleep?” Jonathan suddenly asked. “I’ll… go to the study then.”
Is he going to the study again?
Is it really because of her?
A strong sense of guilt rose in Angela’s heart. She hurriedly said, “No. No. It’s just… tomorrow, when we go together, will our grandparents announce the news of our marriage?”
And what about Cassandra?
By doing this, was she breaking up Cassandra and Jonathan?
“Do you know why I’ve been so busy lately?”
“Why?” Angela turned her head and asked out of curiosity.
Isn’t it because of work?
In the darkness, Jonathan pressed his lips and spoke slowly, and his voice was faint. “In their eyes, I am a dying man, yet I have no wife and no heir.”
Angela instantly understood. So, those people think that Jonathan is about to die and are trying to force him to abdicate?
Those people are really wicked!

“Jonathan, I understand. Let’s do as our grandparents say and announce the news of our marriage. It will let those people know that you are already married and might cause fewer troubles for you.” Angela said earnestly with a look of indignation.
This way, Jonathan could focus on treatment and recovery.
As long as she could help Jonathan, she was willing to do anything.
Moreover, according to the agreement, this was also her duty–to play the role of Jonathan’s
wife.
Listening to Angela’s steady breathing, Jonathan turned slightly, and his eyes darkened a few shades as he whispered, “Fool, don’t easily believe a man’s words.”
In his line of sight, she wore a snow–white feather dress with an off–the–shoulder design, revealing a small heart–shaped pink diamond on her delicate collarbone.
Hmm… It all made sense.
