Chapter 866 Sleep With You For A While
Donald didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Jennifer's nosiness.
She may appear nonchalant on the surface, but where I have been last night actually matters a lot to her.
“Do you remember Raphael asking me for help with his security system? I went to his spirit stone mine and dealt with some of the problems.”
Oblivious to the true extent of Donald's capabilities, Jennifer and Geraldine simply took it that he had resolved security issues related to computers.
In contrast to them, Hannah had learned from Yorksland's intelligence network about what really happened the night before.
Instead of giving Donald a hard time, she helped him defuse the situation.
“That's enough. Donald has had a long day at work. Can't you guys just let him get some rest?” She turned off the laptop and winked at Donald. “Are you tired? Do you want a cup of coffee?”
Donald couldn't be any more familiar with the look she was giving him, for every time she did that, it meant that she needed his help.
He quickly said, “I'm a little exhausted. I think I'll be heading up to get some sleep. Thanks for the offer, but you girls can carry on without me.”
Before Hannah could respond, Donald rushed up to his bedroom on the second floor to sleep.
After some time, just as Donald was drifting in and out of sleep, he felt someone climbing onto his bed.
The moment he opened his eyes, he noticed Hannah kneeling by his side and unbuttoning her jacket.
Donald's eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing?” he asked angrily.
We're at home now and Jennifer is downstairs. She'll definitely kill me if she walks in on us right now.
The panic on Donald's face made Hannah smile.
“It turns out that Lord Campbell is capable of fear, but this shouldn't be the case. Why would you fear a gorgeous beauty like me?”
As Hannah closed the distance between them, Donald frantically extended his hand in an attempt to stop her. He ordered in a serious tone, “Stop. Don't come any closer. Get down from my bed, or I'll make you regret it.”
“Sure. I want to see what you're going to do to me.”
Hannah knew Donald like the back of her hand and was sure that he wouldn't lay a finger on her.
Donald let out a sigh and asked, “What in the world do you want?”
“Not much. Have a meal with me.”
“A meal?”
“That's right. Do you remember Braulio? The guy you beat up?”
Donald pondered for a moment. “That blind date your mom set you up with?”
Hannah nodded and explained in resignation, “Since my mom thinks that no one will marry me, she has constantly been setting me up with all sorts of people. After you scared Braulio off, she found someone new. What's worse is that she has come to Pollerton personally to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself.”
Donald was actually elated by what she said. “Sounds good. Once you're married, you won't be bothering me every day.”
Hannah seethed at the nonchalant attitude he displayed.
“Do you really not care? Fine. I'll sleep with you for a while and go for my blind date after that.”
When he saw Hannah lie down, he relented immediately.
“Hannah, I take back what I said, all right? I'll have a meal with you, but you'll have to stop bothering me for the time being. Is that okay?”
Hannah replied with a smile, “Of course. As long as you're willing to come with me, I won't disturb you for a month.”
A month? If I had known she would do this in return, I would have agreed to it at the very beginning.
