Chapter 425

When Angela woke up, the room was utterly silent. She felt like she was being held in someone's embrace, a weight pressing on her chest, making her uncomfortable.

"You're up?" Dexter's deep voice, filled with satisfaction, came from right beside

Angela froze. She instinctively wanted to turn and sit up, but she was firmly held in his strong arms, unable to move.

"I... I'm a little thirsty. I want to get some water." She avoided looking at his face. Her voice carried a hint of unease.

He wore only black boxer briefs, showcasing his impressive physique. It was simply mesmerizing.

His broad shoulders, trim waist, defined abs, and long legs were striking. But the most captivating feature was his face with sharp features, a chiseled jawline, and icy eyes that exuded indifference. He was absolutely stunning.
