Chapter 69 Jerk

Michaela couldn’t sleep well that night.

She was staring wide-eyed at the ceiling while lying on her bed after taking a shower. Her mind was still in a daze.

The scene from earlier replayed in her mind. Jonathan’s sickly sweet voice continued to ring in her ear, stirring her emotions.

It took a long while, but she did manage to calm herself down and enter dreamland.

She had a similarly heart-pounding and cheek-blushing experience in the dream.

In the dream, she found herself taking the initiative and wrapping her arms around his neck. Once his lips were close enough, she kissed him. Even though it was a dream, she could clearly feel her disordered breath and pounding heart.

That made Michaela wake up abruptly. As she sat on the bed, she realized the sun was already hanging in the sky.

The dream affected her pretty greatly. Her entire body was covered in sweat as she panted. I can’t believe I had that kind of dream! How shameful!

She got off the bed, took a bath to wash her sweat away, and changed her clothes. Just as she descended the stairs, she saw the elder Xander couple sitting in the living room watching the morning news.

“Good morning, Old Mr. and Mrs. Xander!” she greeted.

Upon hearing her voice, Mavis removed her glasses and smiled at her. “Good morning, Mich. Why didn’t you sleep in?”

Whenever her grandchildren returned, they would sleep until the sun was hung up high in the sky. She knew how nice it was to be able to sleep that long, and she knew young people loved to sleep. Therefore, she was used to it.

It was why she was surprised by how early Michaela woke up. Is it because she’s not used to sleeping here?
