Love At The Right Price

Chapter 6 Waking up in the Same Bed

the door shut. Let the man sleep in the cold. Here I was thinking of getting him a blanket too. Now, though? Hmph, in his dreams!Frank looked at the tightly shut door. He rubbed his nose, a rare twinkling look appearing in his handsome eyes.Beautiful mornings were always accompanied by approaching disasters.When Tamara woke up, she couldn’t stop herself from shrieking when she saw Frank’s handsome face in front of her.Frank frowned, having been roused from his sleep. His long arm naturally pulled Tamara into his embrace. “Sleep a little longer,” he said hoarsely.Tamara’s pretty face turned stormy when she saw his calm behavior. She struggled hard to break free from the hand keeping her in place. “Why are you in my bed?” she roared in an antagonistic manner.Frank only managed to fall asleep close to dawn, and now, he was rudely awakened by Tamara after just a few minutes of sleep.

I’m nearly five.”The two adults were unamused.Tim then casually walked past them.By the time she was in the bathroom to brush her teeth, Tamara’s face was already red with embarrassment. She turned her head back to stare hatefully at the man who had just spouted nonsense. “Don’t say weird things to my son!”Frank’s thick brows knitted together as he chuckled. “He’s so young, yet he knows so many things.
