My Sleeping Beauty Husband

Chapter 26 He Smells Like Her

When Alston returned to the room, Cynthia had fallen asleep.

She curled up under the blanket like a baby.

It was a sign of extreme insecurity.

Alston sat by the window and noticed her face with tears. He sighed and gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingers.

He didn’t want it either, but there were too many people staring at him in secret.

The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt. Jealousy nearly overwhelmed her, making.

her suffer.

A week passed, but Alston didn’t return once. Stella stayed at home the whole week. Cynthia didn’t know why. Stella still had that same mocking face when she saw Cynthia, but she didn’t say anything mean, which was also confusing.

Everything was weird.

That day, Cynthia’s phone rang after she just finished her lunch. It was a call from Beck, which was
