James glanced at the moon outside the French windows following her gaze.

“Now we can’t see anything, go to sleep quickly. You have to meet Ryan tomorrow.”

His tone in the last sentence was clearly annoyed, as if he was gritting his teeth.

Taking advantage of the pitch-black environment where nothing could be seen clearly, Amelia secretly glared at him.

Just as she finished glaring, a strong and powerful arm reached out, startling her. She thought he had such good eyesight to see her little moves, but he casually said, “Rest your head on my arm.”

When she couldn’t sleep, she liked to rest her head on his arm, nestle in his embrace, and put her legs on his waist. Every time she keep this position, she would quickly fall into a peaceful sleep. James also knew about her sleeping habits and always accommodated her. Many times, his arm would go numb from being pressed, but he wouldn’t move, which was heartwarming.
