Chapter 1428: Chapter 1427: Sleeping Together: The Second Night of Coldness

"Mmhm..."

A girl’s voice tinged with a hint of comfort reached his ears.

He frowned with displeasure.

Just hearing the sound makes him unable to endure? At this moment, he admitted, his body was damnably uncooperative!

He simply leaned on the bedside table, his firm chest exposed to the air, his back resting against the top-quality crafted bed cabinet, and with his other hand, he reached over to pull the soft and gentle woman into his arms.

All night, she might have thought he was truly asleep.

Actually, when she was asleep, he opened his deep and narrow eyes. Although he was awake, he hadn’t gone to hold her.

One bed.

The middle of the bed always maintained a line...

No one crossed over.

It seemed as if there really was a chasm in between, impossible to cross...

At first, she seemed to be crying, and as she cried, her voice became alluring...

But he held her because he felt sorry for her crying.

He gently scooped up the woman, his rough fingertips lightly rubbing over the tear stains on her face, confirming once again that she really had cried.

How could he have been mistaken...

When Eva Nightingale slept, she moved to the edge of the bed, as if wishing to wrap up in the quilt and sleep on the floor...

Her back was turned towards him...

Yet at this moment, he unexpectedly set aside past grievances and pulled her into his arms...

*

In the broad daylight, Eva Nightingale slowly awoke.

A night filled with ’nightmares’ left her sleeping unsteadily.

She reached for the bedside but did not feel Lucas Knight.

She sat up, realized with a start, oh right, how could he sleep at the edge of the bed!

She sat up, shook her head, a cold war? Who’s afraid of who?

It would be best if neither touched the other—

Though she was the one who rejected him first—

Thinking about it, she unwillingly turned her head, reached out to touch his pillow, still warm, hugged it, and only then realized the pillow had Lucas Knight’s masculine scent.

Washed up, went downstairs.

The maid said, "Young Madam, the meal is ready. Please have something to eat."

"Mm. Where is he!?"

The maid paused, "Young Madam, the Crown Prince left early for the Presidential Mansion, seems like there’s something going on there, both the Minister and the Deputy Minister went to the Langwan Manor to wait for him early."

"Also, before leaving, the Crown Prince said he wouldn’t be back for meals, and it’s uncertain if he’ll be back tonight..."

Eva Nightingale murmured, "Not back tonight either?"

"It’s uncertain. If you miss him, Young Madam, you could call him. Even if he’s busy, he will surely come back..."

The maid obviously did not know about their "cold war" from last night.

"No need..." Eva walked to the dining room.

Sitting on the luxurious chair.

Only then did she say, "He’s busy anyway, I better not add to his chaos..."

"You also shouldn’t call him privately..."

Eva knew well enough that he was somewhat angry because she rejected him, left early, what else could it be if not anger!?

...

A whole day.

She did not see him again.

She did not call...

She already knew he wouldn’t be the clingy type.

The big wolf dog personality couldn’t be hidden!

Eva Nightingale didn’t eat dinner, only drank some juice, and without an appetite, she went upstairs to bathe...

Waited until eleven-thirty, the outside of the villa still silent.

She went to bed.

Moved to the edge of the bed, wrapped in the quilt.

Once she fell asleep, on the other side, Lucas Knight received a call and then drove back.

Once home, he took a shower, got into bed, still without holding her.

It’s just that she was asleep without a care...

And he, no matter what, tossing and turning, couldn’t fall asleep.

Just looking at her, thinking about the two of them on the same bed, the fire within him couldn’t calm down.
