Chapter 14
Meanwhile, in the room, Abigail immediately rolled out of bed as soon as
Dahlia left. Unfortunately, Sean pressed her down on the bed before she
could successfully escape from his clutches.
She instinctively used her hand to shove him away. As a result, she did
manage to create some distance between them. “She’s already gone.
There’s no need for us to act now.”
Alas, he simply gazed deeply at her, his voice hoarse when he asked, “Didn’t
you want this when you grabbed me earlier?”
A confused and speechless Abigail shrieked in dismay, “I was just reminding
you not to let Dahlia come to my side of the bed! Are you a sex addict or
something? How do you always relate everything to that?!”
Nonetheless, he merely ignored her while he suppressed his desire and
guided her hand downwards until it landed on a certain place.

At this rate, she had a strong urge to just remove her hand from her body

forever. Sure, it would be difficult to live without a hand, but she would make it
work somehow. Still, she desperately tried to withdraw her hand from his grip,
her face was flushed crimson. “What are you doing?!”
He responded by enunciating each word slowly yet firmly, “Remind me again,
did you have to grab me here earlier?”
When she made a mad grasp at him a moment ago, her aim was rather
unfortunate. Coupled with her panicked grip, it hurt so terribly that he
suspected that she wanted his line to end with him today.
Abigail finally realized what he was insinuating. Her face turned into a rather
violent shade of red, but she stubbornly retorted, “Fine. Let me go. I need to
wash my hands.”
Sean’s eyes darkened. “You’re disgusted by something you use?”
She earnestly replied, “You should know that what I’m avoiding might not be
an object…”

But the person? Does she really despise me that badly? Sean’s previously
good mood disappeared in a puff of smoke when he thought of that.

The hazy mist in his eyes gradually dissipated as he calmly regarded her for
a few seconds. Then, he turned around and got off the bed. “You can have
the bed.”
With that said, he walked straight out of the room.
Abigail didn’t care where he was going; since he had already given her
permission to use the bed, she would obediently make use of it.
It was probably due to the sudden change of location as she failed to fall
asleep even though she was utterly exhausted. In the end, she kept tossing
and turning in bed, trying desperately to get some shut–eye. To make
matters worse, she felt increasingly warm, which did nothing for her already
discomfited state.
Why does it feel so hot and humid when it’s only March?

Chapter 14 There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind
Abigail agitatedly undid two buttons on her sleeping gown, only to find the
temperature still too high for her. Moreover, for some reason, she kept
thinking about Sean’s hand holding the spoon when he was feeding her the
pudding earlier.

She could tell at a glance that his fair and long arms were quite strong.
Wait, why am I thinking about him at a time like this?! She couldn’t help but
feel annoyed at herself for being so easily charmed by his looks. Eventually,
her emotions got the better of her as she kicked the blanket off her person in
a fit of ire.
Just as sleep had finally descended upon her, someone pushed open the
door and entered the room.
Sean couldn’t help but slightly raise an eyebrow at the sight of the person on
the bed.
In the dimly lit bedroom, the moonlight was filtered by the thick and luxurious
curtains, leaving only a faint glow that fell on her slim waist.

That was the place he loved to touch the most when they were intimate;
both his hands could easily encircle it.

A sly glint flashed in Sean’s eyes. He had told her to sleep on the bed, but he
didn’t say anything about him sleeping on the couch.
