Chapter 122: The Awkward Silence of Tonight

After the middle-aged man left, Tina leaned comfortably against Jared Farrell's headboard.

If she couldn't make fun of him, sure she can find someone else to do so? Perhaps buoyed by a recent minor triumph, Tina soon fell asleep right there on Jared's bed.

When Jared finally came out wearing a stony expression, he saw the young girl nestled in his bluish-grey cotton duvet, sleeping blissfully. His initial fury softened immediately at the sight. Surprised to find Tina still in his bedroom, Jared was clad only in a towel around his waist. He hesitated at the bathroom door but couldn't resist moving closer to gaze upon Tina's resting face.

Despite being asleep, Tina, trained from a young age, remained highly alert. As Jared approached, without even opening her eyes, she promptly grabbed at him. Unanticipated, her delicate, pale hand snatched his towel with a swift tug, exposing him abruptly. Woken by the chaos, both stared at each other, frozen by the sudden awkward silence.

Tina gaped at the now fully exposed Jared, then at the towel in her hand. Reacting as if scalded, she flung the towel back at Jared and turned her face away. Jared, equally embarrassed, wrapped the lower half of his body and teased her as he noticed her cheeks redden like boiled shrimp, "Did you enjoy the view?"

Too embarrassed to look at him, Tina cleared her throat and scoffed, "Too small, didn't see clearly."

Jared's expression soured instantly. He pulled her into his embrace, pressing her close, "Are you sure? Maybe your eyesight is poor. Should I give you another look?"

"Oh? Perhaps one more look?" Tina suggested, glancing again tactfully. Unfortunately, he was already covered by the towel.

Jared staggered, nearly losing his balance.
