Her Precious Baby

“Why are you sitting here? What are you waiting for?”

Evander was drying his hair with a towel. A drop of water rolled from his cheek to his collarbone.

The scene in front of Angeline made her gulp, and she looked away.

“Nothing. You go ahead and sleep first. I will take my bath.”

With that, she picked up the extra blanket and pillow from the bed and laid them out neatly on the couch.

Even though it might rain that night and it would be cold to sleep on the couch, it was still better than sharing the same bed with Evander.

After making her bed, Angeline walked into the bathroom. She deliberately soaked in the bathtub longer than usual before getting dressed.

She went out of the bathroom nervously and glanced at the bed, but there was no one!

What’s going on?

Angeline frowned in puzzlement before turning toward the couch. It was only then she noticed that Evander was sound asleep on the couch.

She felt sorry for him when she saw how the tall man had snuggled himself into the small couch.

Didn’t we agree that I will sleep on the couch?

Angeline pursed her red lips. She wanted to wake him up but could not bear to do so when she saw how exhausted he was.

Before, she had seen Sylas taking their luggage out of the car. By the looks of it, he must have rushed there the moment their plane landed.

After the long-haul flight and a long car ride, Evander must be very tired.

That thought warmed the cockles of Angeline’s heart. The soft amber light fell on his defined face and made him look less cold.
