Chapter 66: Chapter 69: Just Holding Her to Sleep

Translator: 549690339

After taking a bath, Lily Gray wore the silk pajamas that had been prepared for her in the mansion.

The texture of the silk was so good that it felt like she was wearing nothing at all.

Aidan Lucas, who had already taken off his bathrobe, wrapped her in his arms from behind, and she could clearly feel the heat of their skin touching against her back.

Lily didn’t know what had gotten into her; perhaps she was holding her breath, so even though she resisted Aidan’s closeness, she didn’t want to ask him to let her go.

At this moment, it seemed as if they were caught in a strange situation.

She didn’t want to talk, trying to break free from him, but she didn’t dare struggle in his embrace.

He held her, enveloping her in his arms with an extremely pampering pose.

He had just said that he only wanted to sleep innocently with her and not touch her, but in the next second, his body reacted.

The situation was very awkward for a moment.

After half a minute, she heard Aidan’s husky, suggestive voice from behind her ear, “Go to sleep, stop overthinking things.”

Over thinking things!

Who was overthinking things?

The one overthinking things was clearly him, okay!?

Lily felt that she must have been sick, otherwise why would she have almost fallen for a man like Aidan?

She closed her eyes and tried her best to ignore the warmth of his body pressed against her back.

He said he wouldn’t touch her, but of course, she didn’t believe him.

However, drowsiness had already set in, and she had resigned herself to his threat despite everything. After all, the only thing that interested him in the deal between them was her body. If he really wanted to do something, she wouldn’t be able to stop him anyway.

Realizing this, Lily let go of her guard against him. Encircled by Aidan’s arms and using his arm as a pillow, she slowly drifted off to sleep.

As Aidan listened to Lily’s familiar, steady breathing, the tension in his back muscles finally relaxed.

This damned woman had actually fallen asleep.

Aidan couldn’t help but exhale a murky breath. He had merely said in passing that he “wouldn’t touch her,” yet she had actually believed him and even slept peacefully in his arms.

Was it so easy for him to gain her trust?

Aidan clearly misunderstood Lily. If he had known that she had simply given up, he would have immediately turned over and pinned her beneath him.

But..

The woman in his arms was delicate and gentle. Even while asleep, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upward.

Looking at her exquisite, sweet face, he inexplicably lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

Usually indifferent to the feelings of others, Aidan suppressed his desires this time and held her, peacefully sleeping together for one night.

Early the next morning, Lily Gray woke up before Aidan.

When she found that her pajamas were still intact on her body, she almost thought she was still dreaming.

As she tried to get up, she discovered that she was still wrapped in Aidan’s arms.

Aidan.. he didn’t actually touch her and had even slept like that all night! Did he even have such a gentlemanly side to him?

Just as Lily was quietly astonished, the hand resting on her waist suddenly moved. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on No'v3l--B1n.

The large palm caressed her waistline a few times, then pulled her back into his embrace..
