Chapter 1427: Chapter 1426: Sleeping Together: The First Night of Neglect

Eva Nightingale hadn’t had time to react when she saw a certain icy man walk in.

Days went by, and Cecilia Grant had already gone to New York with Little Bun, claiming she was pregnant, to give her some rest, and Cecilia intended to leave space for the two of them.

Little did they know, it was just a misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding, Eva Nightingale wasn’t pregnant at all!

Lucas Knight walked in, swiftly took off his black trench coat, and lazily sat on the sofa, glancing at her.

The woman’s skin was fair and delicate, like snow.

Eva Nightingale felt his gaze on her, her cheeks flushing...

She turned her face away.

He also faintly withdrew his gaze.

After dinner, he went upstairs, took a shower, and fell asleep.

While Eva Nightingale went upstairs afterwards.

Harry North said he was exhausted from long journeys and handling recent meetings and affairs, so he hadn’t rested well, therefore...

Eva Nightingale wasn’t thinking much about it.

She pushed open the door, stepping on the soft, thick carpet beneath her feet, walking into the luxurious and understated master bedroom.

Without looking his way, she just went to take a shower, and about half an hour later, she finally emerged from the washroom.

She had already put on her pajamas and casually turned off the bright main light of the room.

Slowly, with her fair bare feet, she walked to the bedside, only then did she notice the man quietly sleeping!

At this moment, she felt as if she didn’t recognize this man; because every time she got close to him, she was astounded by his stunningly beautiful appearance.

Eva Nightingale lifted the quilt, got on the bed, her skin brushing against his scorching bare male chest...

Only then did she belatedly realize he wasn’t wearing any clothes!

Usually he would hold her, pulling her into his heated embrace, but tonight he went to sleep early.

Touching his burning skin, afraid of waking him, Eva Nightingale immediately moved away.

Even though she was clothed, the pajamas were extremely thin, with a delicate feel, skin touching, it was impossible not to feel anything. If it aroused the beast within him, she would be doomed tonight.

She liked the feeling of being cherished by him, he was definitely a perfect bedmate, very considerate of her feelings.

But she was very aware of her current role...

Retreating further, she moved directly to the edge of the bed, ensuring no part of her body was touching him, she quietly fell asleep.

Throughout the night, the room was supremely quiet, with no trace of the usual sensual ambiance.

The intoxicating atmosphere of love seemed to have drifted away.

Only coldness remained, no more allure.

...

Pouring rain, soaked through her clothes.

Her vision blurred, unsure whether it was by the rain or tears...

The handsome man collapsed before her, a crimson stain of blood mixed with rainwater.

"Save him..." She didn’t want his life!

"Kill him!" The cold sharp knife came into view, for the first time she was scared, retreating repeatedly.

"No, don’t..." I didn’t want his life.

"Kill him!"

"No... Lucas Knight, don’t force me..."

"Kill... slap—" Before he could finish his cold words, she smacked him soundly across the face.

She actually hit the Crown Prince!

He must be furious now...

Sure enough, he angrily looked over, one hand grabbed her, forcefully sealed her lips...

Afterwards, the dream shifted, and she seemed to fall into an ambiguous and sultry dream...

"Mmm... uh..."

At five in the morning, the room was dim, Lucas Knight glanced sideways at her, listening to the faint moans coming from her lips.
