Gwenda remained motionless, but her hands clenched tightly under the blanket.
Although her act was good, Olivier still noticed her trembling eyelashes, and he smiled. "You knew that I was showering here, and yet you still decided to sleep early. Aren't you afraid that I might do something to you?"
Gwenda, who was playing dead, was speechless.
Olivier's smile grew bigger as he leaned down, his warm breath puffing against her face.
Gwenda felt on edge in an instant, and her fists tightened further under the covers.
Her heart was pounding violently, and her blood was roaring in her ears.
The trembling of her eyelashes became a little obvious due to how fast they were fluttering.
Observing her up-close, Olivier saw that she was about to lose it and a wicked grin appeared unexpectedly on his face. "Just sleep."
With that, he planted a kiss on her forehead before caressing her head affectionately. Then, he left.
...
The door closed with a light thud.
Gwenda only opened her eyes slowly after some time had passed.
She reached up to touch the spot where he had kissed her. It felt like it was on fire.
Her heart was trembling too.
This man was too much...
That night, Gwenda was unable to sleep due to Olivier's teasing.
The next day, Gwenda woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing this, Melanie asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night, Gwenda?"
"Yeah, not really."
She had nightmares all night. It would be a miracle if she had actually slept well.
"Well, are you energetic enough to play with us, Gwenda? The housekeeper has arranged plenty of fun activities for us today!"
Wendy asked, her voice muffled as she chewed on her bread.
Gwenda rubbed her temples and said wearily, "I think so."
"If you can't go, then forget it. Rest well for the morning."
Olivier poured her a glass of milk, handing it to her before continuing, "Once you're done with breakfast, go back to your room and rest."
"It's fine, I can join you guys."
Gwenda did not want to be a spoilsport.
"Behave!"
Olivier's eyes darkened a little.
Gwenda shrank back after glancing at him, a little scared.
Aside, Melanie patted Olivier's hand and gave him a glare. Then she said to Gwenda, "He's right, dear. You won't miss much this morning. Rest well later. We'll be fishing by the river. Once you wake, you can join us."
Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade her, Gwenda could only nod and said, "Alright, I'll go catch up on some sleep then."
After breakfast, Gwenda went upstairs.
However, she still could not sleep after tossing and turning for half an hour.
She got out of bed and left her room, but she did not expect to run into Olivier.
"You..."
"You didn't sleep?"
Olivier spoke first.
Gwenda was stunned for a bit before she shook her head. "No, I couldn't sleep."
