Chapter 10

When Belle woke up the next day, it was still dark.

“Is it still early in the morning? Then I’ll sleep a little longer,” she thought.

Just as she was about to go back to sleep, Belle was alerted and suddenly sat up.

In horror, she looked at the servant standing by the bed.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

Someone had been watching her while she was asleep!

The servant hurriedly said, “Mr. Landor told me to wait here until you wake up.”

Belle was stunned for a moment before asking, “What time is it now?”

“It’s eleven in the morning. Mr. Landor wanted to wait for you to have breakfast with him, but you slept soundly, so Mr. Landor had his breakfast first and then went to the office,” the servant replied.

Belle was at a loss for words.

It was already eleven o’clock!

She glanced at the curtains. These black curtains completely blocked the light, which made her think it was still dark outside, so she kept sleeping.

She couldn’t believe that she slept until lunchtime the first day after her wedding.

Belle suddenly had an urge to burst into tears with shame.

But she maintained a calm expression on her face.

“Oh, I overslept. Belle coughed lightly. “Next time, you can just wake me up.”

“Yes, madam” the servant replied softly.

She moved forward to help Belle get dressed and wash up.

However, Belle hurriedly refused. She preferred to get dressed by herself.

Belle freshened up as quickly as she could.

When she went downstairs, she saw Penelope comforting a servant gently.

Seeing Belle arrive, Penelope immediately smiled at her and said, “Good morning, Belle. Adam has gone to the office again. He’s such a workaholic, not even willing to take a few days off after getting
