Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 495 Do You Need My Help

"Sleep?" I almost choked after I heard what he said. My face turned red as I raised my head and looked at him.

Jack chuckled helplessly. "What's on your mind, Eva?"

He plopped down on the couch and checked his watch. "We only have about five hours, Eva. I booked an 8:00 am flight. So, we have to sleep while we can." Jack didn't look at me afterward. Instead, he draped a coat over himself. I stared at him in a daze for a long time before I slowly made my way to the bed.

It was just that I just couldn't fall asleep when I listened to his breathing.

"Do you need me to tell you a bedtime story, Eva? Once upon a time..."

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I laughed and said, "That's enough. You don't have to do it."

I hid myself under the blanket and thought about some fairy tales before I drifted off to sleep. It was a restful sleep, and I slept all the way to the next morning.

I had to cancel some of my plans for the day before I could follow Jack to the airport. He was extremely busy; he kept talking on the phone and reading reports during our journey.

I had wanted to talk to Jack about work. However, I remained quiet when I saw how busy he was. After we got onto the plane, he didn't have any free time either; he was still reading documents on his laptop. Jack seemed to sense my gaze. He turned around and looked at me. "Is there anything
