A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 923

Zoe did not sleep well because she was really not used to Jay hugging her in her sleep, and so firmly at that.

She could even feel his breath spraying over her nape.

Frustratingly, he was sleeping perfectly fine and kept holding her the entire night without moving, while she listened to his breathing assume a regular rhythm.

Zoe was a little miserable at that.

She had been worried that Jay would be the one to expose them, since he had always been distant to her. In fact, she was scared that he would push her away when she hugged him earlier.

To think that he would get into character more than she did…

Sighing to herself, she did her best to coax herself to sleep.

She was naturally unaware that the man feigning sleep behind her opened his eyes just then and tightened his hold further.
