Chapter 144 You And Me Both
Aurelia’s cheeks flushed deeper at his words, her shock evident.
Her mind was a fog, the memories of the previous night feeling like a dream where she floated amongst clouds in a tormented, unbearable haze. She recalled pleading tearfully through the night.
Normally, he seems so cold and abstinent. Howe could he be so intense in bed?
“I’m going to take a shower first,” Aurelia aunounced, trying to maintain a semblance of calm.
She began to rise from the bed, clutching the blanket around her, intending to retrieve her clothes scattered around the room.
Matthew watched her move, his voice catching slightly as he revealed, “I helped you bathe last night.”
Aurelia’s body tensed abruptly at his admission. Isn’t he thoughtful?
The thought of herself, unresponsive like a lifeless fish being meticulously cleaned by Matthew, made her feel like she couldn’t face him for the rest of the day.
Her eyes swept over the chaotic scene on the floor–clothes tossed everywhere, evidencing the intensity of their previous night’s encounter.
Before she could react further, Matthew’s arm encircled her waist, pulling her back into the warmth of the bed and the covers. She found herself snugly nestled against him.
“Sleep a bit longer,” he murmured, his voice thick with sleepiness.
They were both undressed, and Aurelia felt as if she was navigating a delicate balance, afraid to make any sudden movements. Yet, she was exhausted and sore, longing just to sleep a little more.
Aurelia’s thoughts drifted hazily. It was often said that men felt revitalized after such encounters, so why did Matthew appear so utterly drained?
Is he exhausted? So is he actually fit or not?
Matthew was unaware of the flurry of thoughts in Aurelia’s mind. It was unusual for him to feel sleepy. after waking; this morning was a rarity in his long battle with insomnia. Earlier, after bathing Aurelia and laying her down, he had reached for a cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, a soft whimper from Aurelia drew him back to bed, and he had found himself drifting to sleep almost immediately.
Back at the Quigley residence, just lying in bed had sometimes helped his insomnia. But now, holding Aurelia had provided him with an unexpectedly deeper, more restful,sleep.
Meanwhile, at the office, Gordon was at a loss for words as he caught the periodically curious glances of his colleagues. It was the first time their usually diligent boss had missed a Monday at work without being on a business trip.
To everyone at the office, Matthew was known as a relentless workaholic. The unexpected absence raised many eyebrows, but no one dared to ask why he was away.
Only Gordon, who was privy to the real reason, faced the curious looks from everyone. He could only explain that Matthew needed some rest–a well–deserved break, indeed.
