Free Web NovelChapter 60: Sleeping Together?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Owen looked at Anita, who suddenly felt down, and started to think about what he had just said wrong. But he couldn’t think of a reason for her sudden anger.
"How are we going to sleep tonight?" Anita didn’t want to continue the topic from before and asked decisively and stiffly.
Owen felt a little uneasy. "Go to bed. I can bunk."
Anita wasn’t very happy at Owen’s suggestion, but she didn’t express it. She turned around and went to the washroom to wash up.
Owen stood where he was by the bed, and suddenly thought that if only Bruce were here at this time, he could ask him what to do.
Unfortunately, Bruce didn’t know that his position in the CEO’s heart had risen so high that he could even solve his family problems. If he knew, he would probably be happy.
"You’re not going to wash up?" After Anita washed up and came out, she saw Owen standing motionless by the bed and thinking about something, so she began to feel even worse.
"I’ll go after I lay out the bunk," Owen whispered tentatively.
With that, he went to the cabinet and took out two blankets to cover the side of the bed. To be honest, this was the first time the two of them stayed in the same room. They thought that something might happen, but in the end, the two of them did not say anything and slept with their backs facing each other.
"Are you comfortable sleeping like that?" Anita woke up in the middle of the night to hear Owen tossing and turning beside the bed. She was worried that he wasn’t sleeping well. After some hesitation, she couldn’t help but ask.
"No... No, I’m not. I’m just not sleepy. Did I wake you? I’ll stop turning over. Go to sleep." Owen thought he had woken her up by constantly turning over, so he replied softly.
"Come up and sleep. Your bed is very big. The two of us can sleep. We can just bring your blanket up," Anita said after a moment of thought.
Owen hadn’t expected Anita to ask him to go up and sleep in the same bed with her. "Did that mean she wasn’t angry anymore?" Owen thought happily.
"Aren’t you going to come up?" Anita said again while suppressing her bashfulness when she saw that Owen hadn’t moved.
Unfortunately, it was too dark in the room. Owen couldn’t see Anita’s face and could only hear her voice. But voices were deceiving, so in Owen’s opinion, Anita’s voice made it seem like she was very impatient.
So Owen only paused for a few seconds before rushing to the bed with the blanket.
On the bed, Anita felt a cold gust of wind. Then the bed sank slightly and he laid beside her. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Can I sleep here?" Owen asked carefully after he lay down.
"Yes, anywhere is fine," Anita replied after pulling the blanket up a little to ensure that it covered her face because she could feel her face burning, which was usually a sign of blushing.
They were so close that Owen would have noticed if he had leaned closer, so Anita pulled the blanket up higher.
Owen didn’t notice Anita’s small gesture as she pulled the blanket. He was filled with joy and nervousness while lying in bed with Anita.
Especially since they were so close now, Owen could smell Anita clearly. It was the scent of the shower gel he had used once before. The rich scent of wild roses.
He used this shower gel then too. It didn’t smell very likable, but why did Anita smell so good today when she used it? Owen couldn’t help but lean closer to Anita to smell it again.
He remembered that his mother had bought the bottle of shower gel. When she bought it, she had tricked him by saying that it was the latest product and that someone had given it to her to try. But she felt that the taste didn’t suit her, so she gave it to Owen.
So Owen took it back and used it once. It had only been opened and used for the first time. The rich scent of wild roses was immediately rejected by Owen, and then the bottle of shower gel fell out of favor.
But today, Anita had probably seen it and used it.
Anita didn’t know that the scent of shower gel on her had been studied by Owen for so long. She was also overcome with nervousness now.
Especially since Owen’s scent kept wafting over, and the heat from his breath hit her hair, making it feel warm.
But gradually, the two of them couldn’t help but feel sleepy. So, while smelling the scent of shower gel on each other, the two of them began to fall asleep.
In the morning, Owen and Anita’s alarm clock didn’t ring as usual.
It had been two people sharing a blanket last night. She didn’t know what had happened that night, but by the time she woke up in the morning, Anita was already in Owen’s arms and Owen was holding her with one hand.
Both of them were sleeping soundly, so they only woke up when there was a knock on the door. It was Sylvia who called them for breakfast.
