Chapter 80 Relentless Teasing

Michaela woke up the following day feeling completely stunned.

Why am I in Jonathan’s bed again?

The last thing she remembered was the shameless man teasing her again on the way back from the Xander residence the night before. She must have fallen asleep after that.

Perhaps I have been exhausted from yesterday’s exertions. In addition to the sleepless night before that thanks to Jonathan’s confession, I’ve been having less sleep than I need. I must have been so tired to have fallen asleep and not remembered anything. Could Jonathan have brought me back here? I must have slept like a log!

Though annoyed and disoriented, Michaela did not lose her composure. She held her breath and listened carefully and found herself alone in the room.

Upon ascertaining that fact, Michaela tiptoed off the bed and ran barefooted to the room across the corridor.

Only after the door clicked shut that Jonathan, who had changed into a suit in the cloakroom, walked out and glanced at the closed door across the hall with a slight smile upon his lips.

Jonathan was already seated in the living room listening to Walter’s report when Michaela arrived downstairs after washing up and getting dressed.

Despite being clad in a simple white shirt and black trousers ensemble, Jonathan still looked elegant.

The top button of his shirt was undone to reveal his attractive collarbone. Coupled with his chiseled brow and his cold temperament, Michaela thought he looked delectable.

Jonathan was sipping coffee with his head bowed when he heard her descending footsteps. Glancing upward at Michaela, his eyes were as arrogant and indifferent as ever.

Michaela felt a little guilty under the scrutiny. “Good morning, Mr. Jonathan!” she chirped with a slightly sheepish smile.

“Far from it.” Jonathan’s tone was a little solemn. “You’re getting braver by the day, Michaela. You’re leaving just like that after having your fill of sleep? Do I look like someone you would do that to?”

At the time the remark was made, Wayne happened to walk out of the kitchen to alert the couple that breakfast was ready. He froze in his tracks upon hearing it.

However, upon seeing Michaela blush and freeze in her own descent down the stairs, he smiled and shook his head before heading back into the kitchen.

Did the pair of them finally sleep together? Jonathan finally got his wish! It seems like Shappiray Mansion is about to have cause for celebration soon.
