Chapter 510

Returning to the bedroom, Aveline closed the door and sighed in relief, feeling that Lucas was becoming increasingly strange.

However, she didn’t dwell on his behavior. She didn’t care. Her focus was on planning her next steps.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed with her phone, noting down all the things she needed to do. A while later, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

But in the middle of the night, the bedroom door opened, and Lucas walked into the darkness.

Seeing this, Aveline frowned slightly and said, “What are you doing here?”

Lucas replied, “This is my bedroom. If I don’t come here, where else would I go?”

Upon hearing this, Aveline immediately got up. “If you’re in this room, I’ll go to another.”

However, he grabbed her wrist. “Aveline, do you know what it means to put on an act? I can’t be sure if there are people planted here by that person or if there are hidden cameras. If you just walk out, what if someone sees through us?”

In the darkness, Aveline looked at his handsome face, unable to discern the expression in his eyes. Her tone remained cold. “This is your house, your territory. If you can’t even guarantee that, I really doubt your capabilities.”

She pulled her hand free and turned to leave.

She clearly wasn’t falling for his trick.

Lucas stared at her intently and said, “It’s best if we stay in the same room. We don’t have to share the same bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

He walked over to the sofa and lay down.

Aveline glanced back at him. In the darkness, she could only make out a vague outline of his figure. Without dwelling on it, she returned to bed.

With a comfortable bed right there, who would choose to sleep elsewhere?

In the darkness, their breaths gradually synchronized, with no words exchanged. Yet, there was an inexplicable tension lingering in the air.

After a long while, listening to her steady breathing, Lucas opened his eyes. He got up from the sofa and, moving quietly, lay down beside her, maintaining a delicate distance between them.

Aveline had no idea how much time had passed, but in her sleep, she turned over and seemed to embrace a large stuffed toy. She had always liked hugging stuffed toys while sleeping, but after marrying Lucas, she had replaced the toy with him. Over time, she had forgotten about the toy entirely.

Now, having something to hug again, she wrapped her arms and legs around it.

Lucas felt her soft body clinging tightly to him, pressing against him. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and

down. This was the result he wanted.

But… it made it even harder for him to sleep.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, closed his eyes, and tried to ignore his body’s reaction. Just being able to hold her while sleeping was more than enough.

That night, Aveline slept very well.

The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she could still feel the firmness of the “stuffed toy” she had hugged. She stared at her arms in confusion.

Huh?

Was she dreaming? Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Then why did it feel so real?

She sat up, looked at herself in bewilderment, then glanced at the spot beside her. Her gaze shifted to the sofa, where Lucas was no longer present.

It was 6:30 in the morning. He was up this early?

After washing up, Aveline left the bedroom. Breakfast was already prepared in the kitchen. As she went downstairs, Lucas returned from outside.
