Linda pointed to the clock on the wall.
“It’s late. You two should get some sleep. You have work tomorrow. I’ll watch a couple more episodes.

Aurelia had no choice but to follow Leslie back to the room.
She stood in the room and looked at the bed helplessly.
Leslie seemed to sense her awkwardness and spoke in a deep voice, “I still have some emails to send. You can go ahead and sleep.”
She nodded.
After he left, she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to shower.
After finishing, she looked at the bed, and then glanced around the room.
It seemed like there was no other place for her to sleep.
She decided to lie down for a while and figure out where to sleep when Leslie returned to the room.
She was exhausted and had likely walked over ten thousand steps, which was more than the commute
to work.
After lying down, Aurelia caught a whiff of Leslie’s scent.
Her heart started to race, and her body warmed up.
She didn’t want to think too much about it and tried to shift her attention by taking out her phone.
In the end, she accidentally fell asleep.
Leslie spent some time in the study, but Linda went and switched off the lights.
He opened the door and looked at the person outside.
“Mom, having fun?”
“I’m just worried for your health. Go to bed,” Linda whispered.
Leslie wanted to say something but was pushed into the bedroom.
When he turned around to try to explain to Aurelia, he was surprised to find her sleeping face.
Beneath her white nightgown, a slender portion of her leg was exposed.
Her hands were clasped under her cheek, and her rosy face was a refreshing sight.
Her nostrils gently flared with each breath and she resembled an exquisite doll.
His gaze slid down, and he noticed that one button of her nightgown was undone, revealing the skin

underneath.
He quickly turned away and reached out to push Aurelia.
“Aurelia, wake up.”
“Mm? Mm…”
After making a few noises, Aurelia shifted to another position and continued sleeping.
Leslie could only give her another push.
“Aurelia, you…”
Before he could finish, Aurelia took advantage of his distraction and grabbed his hand, before pulling him onto the bed.
Leslie fell onto the bed, and Aurelia’s legs hung over him.
Instantly, his breathing became disarrayed as her scent surrounded him.
“Aurelia,” he called out with restraint.
She did not respond and merely adjusted into a more comfortable position.
Seeing as she was not waking up, Leslie ignored her and closed his eyes.
Yet, he couldn’t fall asleep.
Not because her presence bothered him, but because Aurelia kept moving around when she was asleep.
Eventually, she ended up kicking him off the bed.
“Very well,” he thought and rubbed his shoulder.
As he looked up, he saw Aurelia leaning on the side of the bed, her cheeks flushing in the most endearing manner.
“Aurelia?”
“Hm?” There was an unusual drawl in her voice.
Unlike her usual tone, her voice was sweet and it tugged on his heartstrings.
The look in his eyes darkened and he slowly clenched his fists, before getting up and heading into the bathroom.
After a shower, he grabbed a set of bedding and laid it out on the ground to sleep next to the bed.
Aurelia was still hanging on the edge of the bed, so she woke up the next morning dazedly to find Leslie’s alluring features right before her.
Startled, she jolted and fell off the bed.

She landed on him and Leslie opened his eyes.
“Aurelia Simmons.”
Aurelia tried to get up and blushed.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Are you hurt?”
Leslie stared at her and said in annoyance, “Get off first.”
