Chapter 269 Devouring Five Bagels

Eileen switched off the light, unsure if he had left or not.

Terrified that he might actually leave, she put on her pajamas and went to the master bedroom next door.

No sooner had she laid down than the person beside her moved closer, embracing her from behind. A relaxed, casual voice sounded in her ear. “Where have you been?”

Eileen answered somewhat absentmindedly, “I didn’t want to wake you, so I took a shower in my room. Go back to sleep.”

“Mmm.” Jasper, soothed by her pleasant scent, quickly fell back asleep.

Eileen reached out and turned off the lamp on the bedside table. Immediately, the entire bedroom was plunged into darkness. With her eyes closed, she forced herself not to overthink. Considering Eric’s current capabilities, he wouldn’t dare to confront the Smith family. In the future, I will become Jasper’s wife, and there will be absolutely no further entanglement between us.

Although she truly feared Eric’s threats and tricks, she was certain that things from the past wouldn’t continue.

She couldn’t let him continue to threaten her repeatedly.

Before she knew it, sleepiness overcame her, and she quickly drifted off to sleep.

The following day at dawn, the remnants of the morning glow descended.

Eileen stretched lazily. As she peeked out from under the blanket, the first thing she saw was a man with a smile playing on his lips.

“Good morning.”

Eileen replied, “Good morning.”

“It’s getting late. Time to get up?”

“What time is it?”

“Twelve o’clock.”

Eileen hadn’t expected to sleep in so late. “What time did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me?”

“My future wife can afford to be lazy and sleep a little longer. I’ll get up first to squeeze out the toothpaste for you. Remember to change your clothes.”

Eileen said, “Okay”
