Chapter 2464

The room was silent, but Sophia's mind was anything but. Everything Jason had done and said that evening kept circling in her thoughts. His scent lingered on the sheets and in her breath, making it impossible for her to find peace.

She didn't dare to move for what felt like half an hour, then, pretending to be asleep, she turned to face Jason.

Jason didn't stir, leading her to believe he was already asleep. But in the next moment, her hand was gently enveloped by his.

Sophia felt her heart race like a trapped rabbit, yet the warmth of his palm brought her a sense of calm.

He didn't do anything else, just held her hand, caressing it a few times before holding it tightly.

Sophia's lips curved into a small, contented smile as she drifted off to sleep.
