Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 52 Sleeping Here Tonight

"The enclosed space, the enticing fragrance, a young man and woman in thin sleepwear, and the provocative question from the beautiful CEO, Caroline... It should have created an awkward atmosphere.

Yet somehow, with one asking in complete seriousness and the other thinking without any ulterior motives, what should have been a moment charged with tension fell completely flat.

Alistair froze, his mind drawing a blank. "What?"

Alistair was confused again.

"If I can't eat you, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"To go to bed, obviously."

Alistair grumbled internally. He couldn't possibly sleep here, could

he?

If he even dared to think about it, he wouldn't need to wait until tomorrow to get kicked out. He'd be packing his bags tonight.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard Caroline declare with finality, "You're sleeping here tonight."

Alistair was speechless. "That's not appropriate," he blurted out

without thinking.

Caroline had started to walk away, but stopped in her tracks. "Why not?"

"Because we..."

Aren't we just pretending to be married for show? We don't need to actually share a bed!!
