The sound of his back hitting the floor with a dull thud still lingered in her mind.

"Noah Drexler, are you hurt?" She raised her head in panic and looked at Noah Drexler.

But at that moment, his arm was still tightly wrapped around her waist.

Summer Shawcross felt a pinch in her heart, and an inexplicable bitterness at the tip of her nose.

When she schemed against him, his first reaction was not to push her away, but to... protect her!

She hadn’t expected her little trick earlier to have worked so successfully...

Listening to the anxious voice of the woman in his arms, Noah Drexler finally lowered his head to look at Summer Shawcross, who was being held by him.

"Cough..." He cleared his throat and coughed.

Hearing him cough, Summer Shawcross was startled and hurriedly asked him with concern.

"Are you hurt? Is your back okay?" She looked at him worriedly, afraid that what she did earlier might have hurt him.

But just as she was greatly worried about his condition, the man’s deep voice slowly sounded.

"You’re too heavy, you crushed me." Noah Drexler looked down at her, his incredibly handsome face full of indulgence for her.

As his words fell, Summer Shawcross was completely stunned, her expression instantly changing from anxiety and worry to anger!

She gritted her teeth and quickly extended her hands to prop herself up and try to get out of his embrace.

Seeing her bristle, Noah Drexler’s handsome face carried a hint of amusement.

The arms around her waist not only showed no intention of loosening, but they purposely tightened a bit more.

Upon seeing this, Summer Shawcross’s expression became even more displeased.

"Didn’t you say I was too heavy? Why aren’t you letting go of me!" Summer Shawcross looked at him speechlessly and asked with disdain.

Since he complained she was too heavy, why did he still hold her without letting go? Was he being masochistic?

No matter how much she struggled in dissatisfaction, Noah Drexler still didn’t release her. Instead, he freed one hand to gently press her unruly head down, making her lean against his chest.

"Let me hold you a little longer!" He moved his throat and said softly.

He suddenly felt that this position was just right, perfect for them to take a good rest!

Summer Shawcross’s face was resting against his chest. Listening to his low and steady voice, her heart also quieted down, and thus she obediently leaned on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Having spent the entire afternoon learning from Katherine Irving, she was already exhausted. It was a perfect time to rest against him for a while.

At this moment... sunlight streamed through the window, falling on them and onto the floor.

Noah Drexler held her and lay on the floor, looking at the glow of the sunset outside the window, feeling immensely satisfied inside.

He never knew before that having a woman who filled his heart was such a pleasant, fulfilling experience.

Summer Shawcross lay in Noah Drexler’s arms for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and lifted her head, instinctively glancing around the gym.

She then discovered that Katherine Irving, who had been by the window earlier, had unknowingly left the place without notice.

"Noah Drexler, Katherine..." Just as she turned her head and was about to say something to Noah Drexler, she realized the man holding her had his eyes closed, already asleep.
