Chapter 299

Leanna closed her eyes, and it took a few minutes before she felt the space next to her sink down for a moment.

Immediately afterward, a warm man’s body laid next to her.

When Leanna was about to move to the side, Aidan put an arm across her waist and asked in a low voice, “Don’t you feel hot covering yourself with the blanket with so many layers of clothes on?”

Her eyes were wide open. Although she was sleepy earlier, she didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy right now.

Just when Leanna was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a weight on her waist. Aidan’s arm was once again rested on her waist.
