The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 729

Zachary kissed Sophia on the forehead. "Sophia, don't feel pressured. Just go with the flow and enjoy it."

Sophia's forehead was still warm, and a flush crept back up her cheeks. She closed her eyes and gave a small nod, not daring to look at him again.

The next second, he kissed her eyelids, and her lashes fluttered open instinctively.

He finally stood up after a while. "Be good. Get some sleep."

"You too," she murmured. "Once you're done with work, try to rest early."

"I will." He reached out to gently ruffle her hair before putting on his clothes and heading to the study. But not long after, he came back with his laptop.

He lifted the blanket and climbed into bed next to her, placing his laptop on his knees. Files that had to be dealt with tonight were on the nightstand. "Sophia, lean on me while you sleep."

She blinked in surprise, not quite processing what he said right away. But soon, a small smile tugged at her lips, and she nestled into his side, finally letting herself drift off to sleep.

He dimmed the screen and tried to keep the noise down. The work was urgent, and he couldn't put it off any longer. But there was no way he could leave her to sleep alone after spending such an intimate night together. That just wasn't something he could do.

Thus, he brought everything he needed for work into the bedroom.

Thankfully, she was thoughtful and sweet. She didn't complain, throw a fuss, or have any objections.

He would glance at the sleeping woman beside him from time to time.

She was already fast asleep by now. Her long hair rested softly against her

cheeks and fanned across the pillow. She looked so calm and delicate, almost too perfect to be real.

Zachary had waited a long time to see her like this. And now, he finally got his wish. Next, he wanted to introduce her to his parents, propose, and start planning the wedding.
