He was stunned for a few minutes. That was fast.

He replied suspiciously, “Are you there, Ms. Sullivan?”

There was no reply.

Paul stared at his phone for another ten minutes.

There were no further replies from Skylar. Paul breathed a sigh of relief. He must have been overthinking

just now.

Skylar didn’t know that Paul was overanalyzing her replies. After her shower, she was already feeling

sleepy.

She asked Joe whether he’d prefer the left or right side of the bed. Then, she laid down immediately.

Before she slept, she saw Paul’s message when she was switching her phone to silent mode. She had

checked it and set it aside.

Joe brought his clothes into the bathroom. When he was closing the door, he saw that Skylar was already

asleep.

He was slightly surprised.

Was she pretending to be asleep?

She looked pretty convincing. Her acting skills were so good, one would think she was a trained actor.

After half an hour, he walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed. He saw that Skylar still had the same

sleeping posture.

He couldn’t help but think that she was quite persistent.

He wasn’t used to sleeping beside a woman. After he lay down on the bed, he realized that Skylar wasn’t moving at all.

When he heard her even breathing, his face fell. He couldn’t believe she was really sleeping!

When he turned to turn off the lights, he realized that there were two pillows in the middle of the bed. It divided the bed into two, making the boundaries extremely clear. He raised his eyebrows coldly.

Was she… guarding herself against him?

Joe pursed his thin lips.
