Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 22 5 Matthew

Jordan had no intention of indefinitely imposing his plans on her. He tousled her hair lovingly and assured her. “No need to rush. The company’s in a shaky state right now, and I won’t let you get caught up in that mess just yet. Once I take care of everything, you can take on a figurehead role with an easy job.

“For now, do what makes you happy–acting, studying, whatever you want. I’ve got your back, so there’s nothing to worry about”

Milly sighed in resignation at Jordan’s firm stance.

Hmm… but I do have a liking for money, after all….

Milly had lashed out at Apollo carlier in the day, so at night, Milly was stuck with him clinging to her for a long while, afraid she might abandon him.

Even as bedtime approached, he held onto her sleeve tightly, fearful she would leave if he closed his eyes.

Left with no choice, Milly had to reassure him repeatedly until her lips felt sore. It was only after his fear subsided and he fell asleep that she quietly opened the door and slipped away from the room.
