Chapter 154
Gavin felt like he had just had a very long dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his childhood.
Behind him were his aunt Kris, his fiancée Layla, and his sister Zoe. The three of them were chasing and fooling around in the old courtyard of the Clifford family’s house.
Everything around seemed so familiar, and there was an innocent smile on his
face.
As he ran, a fresh milky fragrance seemed to waft into Gavin’s nose.
The scent was so enticing. Gavin could not help but run in the direction of the fragrant smell.
Soon, to his surprise, he discovered two white mountains in front of him, and these mountains were made of milk jelly!
In Gavin’s eyes, they seemed like heavenly delicacies on earth.
He called out to his aunt, fiancée, and sister.
However, he realized that the three of them had already run off somewhere.
At the same time, he realized he was no longer the child he used to be. The two mountains in front of him were no longer so out of place.
Instead, he could pick them up one by one.
Thinking that he couldn’t enjoy these treats alone, Gavin decided to share them. with his sister, aunt, and fiancée.
Therefore, Gavin picked up the two delicious treats without any hesitation. Then, he quickly ran off to find his fiancée and the others.
But despite running for a long time, Gavin couldn’t find the three women.
However, because he had been running for so long, he was a little hungry and thirsty.
Gavin felt his mouth was dry. With the delicious treats in hand, he had a thought in his mind.
I’ll just take a small bite to replenish my energy, and the rest can be shared with
them.
With this thought, Gavin looked at the treats in his hand and wanted to take a bite.
At that moment, just as he took the first bite, he heard a woman’s sniffling sound. Moreover, there was clearly something wrong with this sniffling. It was even a strange sound.
At this moment, Gavin woke up from his dream abruptly.
He suddenly opent
eyes.
The next second, he found himself face to face with a woman with watery eyes.
His head was noticeably lower. He tilted his head slightly upward, and he maintained eye contact with those captivating eyes.
Most importantly, he had brought the treats in his hands and mouth out from his dream!
Gavin was instantly shocked.
“Holy shit!”
He already understood what had happened.
This was fucking…
Something was wrong! Something was very wrong!
Gavin cursed in his heart.
He quickly stood up and moved away from the sofa.
The owner of those captivating eyes, which was staring at him just now, was none other than Muriel!
At this moment, Muriel’s body was trembling slightly.
Because it was too late, she fell asleep because of sleepiness.
However, she also had a dream!
This dream made her experience feelings she hadn’t felt in over twenty years. She actually yearned for it.
This feeling made her involuntarily open her eyes.
Then, she saw Gavin in her arms.
Her face quickly turned red!
She saw Gavin stand up from the sofa nervously.
The flustered Sally instantly closed her eyes and pretended to be still asleep.
She even squeezed her body into the sofa!
On the other side, Gavin had already rubbed his nose with an uneasy expression and explained awkwardly.
“Mrs. Muriel, it’s, um, it’s an accident.”
Then, Gavin suddenly stopped talking.
He noticed that Muriel was still seemingly asleep on the sofa, without the earlier signs of awakening.
The redness on her cheeks had also disappeared. Instead, her cheeks looked. normal and tender.
Gavin was confused.

He remembered that he clearly saw Muriel’s eyes open!
But now…
Muriel actually slept so peacefully?
People could unleash enormous potential at certain critical moments.
Just like the current Muriel, she could even suppress the blush on her cheeks.
It could be seen how much effort Muriel had put in to avoid the embarrassment!
Even Gavin was bewildered.
Logically speaking, with Gavin’s sharp insight, he would naturally realize that Muriel was pretending to sleep.
However, he would rather believe that Muriel had really fallen asleep.
Because this kind of situation, this kind of situation was really…
It was hard to explain.
“Cough, cough.”
Gavin coughed and took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions. His eyes regained clarity, and his breathing became stable.
He realized that he had fallen asleep in Muriel’s embrace. It was because he was overwhelmed by the extreme emotions piling up in him and the lingering sadness for her mother over the past four years.
Moreover, Muriel did not let go of him. As if she was afraid of disturbing him, she leaned against the sofa with him. She also had a blanket on his body, as if she was. afraid that he would catch a cold.
Gavin slowly picked up the blanket that was scattered on the ground. Then, a grateful expression crossed his face.
Setting aside everything else, that nap was the most peaceful and comfortable. sleep he had experienced.
Gavin felt a touch of gratitude in his heart.
Gavin observed Muriel. She lay on the sofa in a single-layered outfit, her clothes slightly disheveled.
Gavin did not think too much about it and walked over quietly.
His one hand went around Muriel’s neck while the other supported her knees.
He lifted Muriel from the sofa, giving her a bridal carry.
Then, he turned around and slowly walked toward Muriel’s bedroom.
The moment Muriel was wrapped up by Gavin, she felt that her heart was about to spurt out of her throat.
In an instant, thousands of thoughts ran through her mind.
‘What is he trying to do? What is Gavin trying to do? What should I do?’

She thought nervously, ‘He’s a hot-blooded man. Is he unable to control hinsell after what happened earlier? Then, should I go along with him?”
What the hell!
What was Muriel thinking?
Muriel was conflicted. It was like there were many versions of her fighting in her heart.
