After finishing their meal, Lucas went to answer a phone call while Ashlyn went into the lounge inside her office to get some rest. As soon as her body came into contact with the bed, she closed her eyes and drifted off.
When Lucas hung up the call and entered the lounge, he saw she was sleeping soundly while wearing a serene expression.
Her previously red and plump lips were now a little pale. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes, and her delicate face showed signs of fatigue.
His heart ached at that sight.
He leaned down and gently kissed her lips before climbing into the bed as well.
Lucas stretched out his long arm and pulled Ashlyn, who was sound asleep, into his embrace. She must be drained after working so hard in the past few days.
The time was already past one o’clock in the afternoon when she woke up.
Ashlyn stretched and sat up, finding herself still somewhat exhausted. She knitted her brows as she felt a little dizzy.
