Chapter 842: Chapter 841: I Wish to Be Your Gray Bunny (2)

In her sleep, Bella Acker didn’t know if she heard his words or not, but the corners of her lips slowly curled up into a gentle arc, inching closer to him.

Damian Sinclair lifted the blanket on one side, gently lay down beside her, and extended his arm to pull her into his embrace, holding her as he slept.

In her dreams, Bella sensed the comforting presence and instinctively moved closer, finding a more comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.

The two of them slept late, and after finally relaxing like this, slept so comfortably that if it weren’t for the happy laughter of a girl in the yard outside, they might not have known how long they would sleep before waking.

Bella opened her eyes, her mind groggy for two seconds until she realized she seemed to be lying against a broad chest.

Startled, she sat up abruptly.

Damian was also awakened by her movements, opened his eyes, and with a slightly hoarse voice asked, "Awake?"

"When did you crawl into bed?" Bella demanded.

"You’re restless when you sleep, I was afraid you’d fall off the bed so I came up," Damian said. "Is Talia playing outside?"

"Seems like it, laughing so happily." Bella pulled back the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the window, and drew the curtains. The golden sunlight immediately flooded in, causing her to squint instinctively.

After adjusting to the light, Bella pushed open the window, and saw a scene of silvery white.

Everywhere, whether on branches or roads in the garden, was covered in white snow, turning the entire world into a dazzling, pure white.

In the yard, a girl dressed in a thick down jacket was happily rolling snowballs, accompanied by several younger maids who joined her in play.

The girl looked up and saw Bella, excitedly waving, "Mommy, it’s snowing! So pretty!"

With a smile, Bella waved back and said, "Don’t play too long, your hands might freeze. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Got it, Mommy, come down and play. Daddy too!" The girl, upon seeing Damian appear behind Bella, waved again.

The maids also raised their heads for a glance, bowing and offering a greeting, their faces carrying ambiguous smiles.

Blushing, Bella closed the window and turned around, saying, "Great, now everyone in the villa knows I slept with you last night."

"Yeah, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have pulled you to sleep together," Damian followed her lead in conversation. "Alright, let’s wash up and change clothes. It’ll be colder with the snow melting today, wear something thicker."

"I didn’t bring clothes over."

"I have clothes here, wear my coat first." Damian said, going to the wardrobe and retrieving a short down jacket he wore twice before, "Wear this."

Bella’s coat got wet last night, unlikely to be warm now.

She looked at the coat Damian handed over, thinking that since everyone saw them in the same room, explanations were futile, might as well embrace it.

With that thought, Bella took the coat and placed it on the bed, going to brush her teeth and wash her face first.

Damian had prepared a new toothbrush and towel in the bathroom, even squeezed the toothpaste, so Bella could brush her teeth right away.

After washing up, they both put on their coats and went downstairs.

The old man sat in the corridor watching the girl and several maids play snowball fights. Seeing Bella and Damian coming out, he smiled and asked, "Young Acker, did you sleep well last night? Caught a cold?"
