Chapter 332



Ernest gently nudged my forehead with his, whispering, "But I miss you, miss you so much..."

He took my hand and placed it against his warm chest.

I quickly pulled back, hiding my hands behind me. Seeing my panicked look, he chuckled softly, "Don't you want to?"

"No, not at all. I'm tired, I just want to sleep," I pushed him away, fumbling for my keys.

"No, no way," I couldn't even bring myself to look at him.
