Chapter 41
Just as Elizabeth was about to forget that brief interlude and go to bed, a cool breeze suddenly snuck into the warm blanket. She immediately woke up and looked at the man who had lifted her blanket.
At this moment, Andrew was wearing a bathrobe. The belt of the bathrobe was loosely tied around his waist, revealing his muscular chest muscles. There were still water droplets on it.
“What are you doing… Elizabeth said.
She immediately became nervous again. She thought, “Could it be that this man regretted it again and wanted to do something else with me?”
“Sleep. What else do you want?”
Andrew narrowed his beautiful eyes. The dangerous aura in his eyes had not completely faded.
“Why don’t you go back to your room and sleep?”
Elizabeth tightened her grip on her pajamas nervously. She thought to herself, “If a man and a woman lie in bed like this in the middle of the night, it’s easy for them to get out of control of their desires and do something, and if that were the case, wouldn’t my struggle just now become meaningless?”
“I’m tired and don’t want to move. Make some room for me, Andrew urged impatiently.
Seeing that Elizabeth was lying there in a daze without moving, Andrew simply lay down beside her.
He reached out and pulled her soft body into his arms. Then, he wrapped the two of them tightly with the blanket and closed his eyes, preparing for sleep.
Elizabeth lay in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling the unavoidable touch of his muscles. She bit her lip uneasily.
Not long after, even breathing sounds came from beside her, but Elizabeth was still a little worried.
She kept her eyes open and stared at the ceiling until it was almost dawn. Then she drifted off to sleep.
The next day, the soreness in his arm made Andrew frown subconsciously. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
The heavy hostility in his deep eyes faded and was replaced by coldness.
The warm breath coming from his arms made him subconsciously look into his arms.
What greeted his eyes was Elizabeth’s peaceful sleeping face. Sensing his movements, Elizabeth subconsciously moved her body and found a more comfortable position in Andrew’s arms before continuing to sleep.
Seeing the scene in front of him, a trace of shock flashed across Andrew’s eyes. He wondered when he had become so intimate with this woman.
He tried his best to search through the memories in his mind and realized that he had gotten along especially well with Elizabeth these past few days. However, he did not have a deep impression of what had happened last night.
They were lying together on the bed in bathrobes, hugging each other so intimately. Moreover, there were obvious signs of kissing and nibbling at the corners of Elizabeth’s mouth.
He even did not need to think to know what he had done with this woman last night.
Thinking of this, Andrew frowned in frustration. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. A strange emotion surged in his heart.
He did not seem to be repulsed by all the intimate actions with this woman…
He thought if he had to have anything to do with the opposite sex, it didn’t seem too bad to have something to do with Elizabeth.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his lips that Andrew himself did not even notice.
After a pause, he raised the back of Elizabeth’s head and retracted his arm that she had used as a pillow for the entire night. Then, he quietly got out of bed and turned to go to the bathroom.
When Elizabeth went downstairs for breakfast, Andrew happened to come back from his morning run. He took the towel from Peter and wiped his sweat before sitting down opposite Elizabeth.
Thinking of what happened last night, Elizabeth rubbed her nose awkwardly and lowered her head to continue sipping her
milk.
When he saw Elizabeth acting like an obedient little girl, a corner of Andrew’s heart softened uncontrollably.
He picked up a slice of bread and placed it on the plate beside Elizabeth. Then, he pushed other dishes toward Elizabeth.
Chapter 41
“Don’t just drink milk. Eat some other dishes.”
Andrew’s pleasant voice sounded in the dining room, mixed with a hint of gentleness that was difficult to ignore.
Elizabeth was stunned. She quickly put down her spoon and looked up at Andrew.
She saw that the man opposite her was not as ruthless as he had been a few days ago and had become much gentler. It was obvious that the first personality had returned.
“Thank you.”
She relaxed and ate the bread that Andrew had given her. She exclaimed in her heart, “As expected, his original personality was easier to get along with.”
This time, she finally did not have to be on tenterhooks and be on guard against what he would do to her.
“I’ll take responsibility for what happened last night.”
Andrew paused and looked at the woman opposite him very seriously.
“Cough cough…”
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth almost coughed up the bread in her mouth.
She smilingly looked at Andrew as if she had heard something funny. After swallowing the bread, she finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Seeing Elizabeth’s attitude. Andrew was stunned, and his gentle face darkened.
It turned out that nothing had happened last night.
After this small interlude, the originally harmonious atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
After eating and drinking her fill, Elizabeth looked at the man, who didn’t have the slightest appetite, across from her in embarrassment. She wondered if she had laughed too much just now and embarrassed him.
“I’m sorry. You don’t have to take it to heart. Nothing really happened last night, but your second personality is indeed a little scary. Seeing that you’ve returned to your original personality, I’m much more relieved.”
“Yeah.”
Andrew put down the cutlery in his hand, and his expression returned to normal.
He said, “Change your clothes and accompany me somewhere.”
The person he was going to meet this time was the representative of the Hall Group. He had an important collaboration to discuss with them.
To avoid any accidents, he had to have Elizabeth follow him.
“I’ll just wear this. There’s no need to change.”
Elizabeth pointed at the casual clothes she was wearing. The clothes of this brand were quite expensive and presentable. In addition, she was just a bystander. It didn’t matter what she wore.
“No, I’ll get Robert to send you some clothes.”
Andrew frowned and shook his head helplessly.
“All right, then.”
Elizabeth pursed her lips and picked up the newspaper beside her to read.
About twenty minutes later, Robert walked over with a bag of clothes. He had bought them according to Andrew’s instructions and Elizabeth’s size.
Elizabeth hurriedly took it and ran upstairs to change into the clothes. Then, she put on light makeup and did a simple hairstyle before coming down.
“Does it look good?”
Upon hearing the voice, Andrew put down his phone and looked up in the direction of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was wearing a simple suit of an office lady. The top was a white shirt with a beige suit jacket, and coupled with a pleated skirt and black leather shoes, she looked very stunning.
