Dorothy could tell what was on his mind, so she gently laid her hand on the back of his.
"I'm not tired. I think this is what makes life worthwhile."
Though she knew it was impossible for her to be on par with Everett through hard work due to his status, she didn’t want to be seen as someone who agreed to be with him for his money.
That would be no different from being a kept woman.
"Alright. Just don't push yourself too hard."
"I won't; don't worry."
After Everett went to freshen up and changed into his pajamas, Dorothy, too sleepy to hold on, finally turned off her computer.
Throughout the night, he held Dorothy in his arms. They were like a pair of inseparable conjoined twins.
Who could have guessed that the usually private Everett was the seriously clingy type?
In the early morning, the sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, warming their bedroom.
Dorothy was the first to wake. As she scrunched up her beautiful eyebrows and was about to open her eyes, she felt his hand around her waist and that certain part of Everett pressing against her back.
It was pressing against her, fully erect.
Usually, it was Everett who woke up first, so this was Dorothy's first time realizing that men could have reactions even in their sleep.
Was he having a wet dream?
Dorothy felt inexplicably nervous. Her body stiffened, and she somehow found herself immobile.
Just then, Everett's body leaned forward, poking her in the waist with that certain part.
Subconsciously, Dorothy turned to look at him, meeting his slightly drowsy eyes.
"What time is it?"
Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice had a grainy rasp to it, which imbued it with a dark magnetism.
"6:30."
Soon, Everett noticed the stiffness of the woman in his arms and discovered the reason.
"Ahem, I'll go freshen up. You must be tired from the trip, so you should sleep a little more.” Dorothy was about to bolt, but she was reluctantly pulled back into his arms.
