My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 26 He Smells Like Her

When Alston returned to the room, Cynthia had fallen asleep.

She curled up under the blanket like a baby.

It was a sign of extreme insecurity.

Alston sat by the window and noticed her face with tears. He sighed and gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingers.

He didn’t want it either, but there were too many people staring at him in secret.

If he got close to her or even just showed some kindness to her, her situation would only get worse. Cynthia was lucky enough to not be hurt even though she was kidnapped. Alston couldn’t even imagine what might happen to her in the future.

Alston thought about telling her his plan, but Cynthia was too pure and simple. She couldn’t even hide her feelings for him, let alone keep his plan a secret.

He bowed his head and gently kissed her forehead. Alston actually watched her for quite a while, and after that, he left the house with the paper he needed.

Greg told her Alston worked overtime and didn’t return.

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt. Jealousy nearly overwhelmed her, making.

her suffer.

A week passed, but Alston didn’t return once. Stella stayed at home the whole week. Cynthia didn’t know why. Stella still had that same mocking face when she saw Cynthia, but she didn’t say anything mean, which was also confusing.

Everything was weird.

That day, Cynthia’s phone rang after she just finished her lunch. It was a call from Beck, which was
