Chapter 345 What Other Identities Do You Have?

Caden’s eyes dimmed a little at my reaction. “You misunderstood,” he said, his tone calm.

“I just wanted to wipe the rice off the corner of your mouth,” he explained.

What?

I froze, instinctively raising my hand to touch my mouth. Sure enough, I felt the rice there.

So, I misunderstood him?

My cheeks instantly heated up and I quickly cleared my throat, trying to change the subject. “I’m going to sleep.”

With that, I quickly lay down, turned away from Caden, and pulled the blanket over my head.

I was about to fall asleep when, suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me tightly from behind.

Just like that, I was pulled into a broad, warm embrace.

“What are you doing?” My body stiffened, and I raised my hand, trying to push him away.

From behind me, Caden’s tired, raspy voice sounded. “Don’t move, I’m tired too. I’ve been taking care of you for two days and nights without sleep. Let me get some rest for a while.”

I froze, instinctively turning to face him.

Our eyes met. Our breaths synchronized. The atmosphere between us was filled with a touch of intimacy and softness.

Looking at his handsome face, I noticed the dark circles under his eyes–something I hadn’t paid attention to before.

Indeed, during the days I was unconscious, Caden had stayed by my side, watching over me day and night.

If he put it that way, wouldn’t kicking him out of my bed make me seem heartless?

I thought for a moment and then said in a low voice, “Okay, but you’re not allowed to move around!”

“Alright,” Caden agreed without hesitation.

His voice grew softer, and soon, his breathing evened out.

He falls asleep that quickly?

I was already a little tired, but now, lying in his arms with my back against his warm chest, all my sleepiness vanished.

Carefully, I studied Caden’s handsome face. When he was awake, he always wore a cold expression, his piercing eyes giving off a distant, indifferent air, like a warning to keep away.

Now, as he slept, his face was peaceful, marked by a touch of exhaustion–but still, he looked incredibly handsome.
