The Legendary Man novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 A Night In The Same Room

“W-What exactly do you want?” Josephine was startled by Jonathan’s question. She was initially against the idea of spending a night with him in the same room. Therefore, she couldn’t help but think of the worst when she heard those words.

“You need to calm down because I’m not up to anything at all. I’m just wondering the reason you’re not taking a shower when it’s a habit of yours to take one before calling it a day. If my presence is a nuisance, I’ll return after you’re done.”

“I-It’s fine!”

She wrapped herself up using her blanket as she continued biting on her lips in the dark. Silence fell when Jonathan found out Josephine was uneasy with him around.

Once again, they heard the sound of one another’s breathing. After a short while, she thought Jonathan had fallen into a deep slumber and muttered, “Jonathan?”

Jonathan ignored her as if he was asleep. She repeated herself in a hushed voice, “Jonathan?”

After another few attempts, she got out of bed and tiptoed her way to the bathroom with a set of pajamas for her to change into.

Jonathan was spot on—Josephine couldn’t stand going to bed without taking a shower. She would’ve long taken her shower if it weren’t because of the man in her room.

She started showering in the bathroom a few seconds after she turned on the tap. On the other hand, the man outside of the bathroom opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

I knew it! She wouldn’t take her shower unless she was sure I was sleeping!

Halfway through his process of thought, he noticed the bathroom merely had a frosted glass door. Therefore, he caught a glimpse of the showering woman’s figure.

He had a hard time breathing when he saw Josephine’s hair drooping over her shoulders as water continued running down her body.

He couldn’t help but imagine her response if he were to join her in the bathroom. She would be utterly shocked, wouldn’t she?

Chuckling softly, he shut his eyes and tried to calm his racing heart down.

Throughout the years, countless women had tried hitting on him. However, he did a great job of keeping his lust in control instead of messing around with them. He thought he had no right to consider himself the almighty Asura anymore if he couldn’t even control himself.

A few minutes later, Josephine came out of the bathroom and returned to her bed dressed in her pajamas. She was afraid of rousing the man from his sleep, so she tried to walk as lightly as she could.

Alas, she staggered and fell when she stepped on something as she couldn’t even see the things in front of her in the pitch-black room.

As a result, she let out a shriek of surprise as she fell into Jonathan’s arms.

Jonathan’s eyes snapped open. “Josephine, are you okay?”
