Oh, well. I’ll let him be.

Gwendolyn let out a long sigh and gently patted his arms that were wrapped around her waist. “I’m not going anywhere, nor will ever I leave you,” she assured him.

As she turned around, Cedrick snuggled into her arms and buried his face in her stomach. Softly, he murmured, “Can you… keep me company tonight? I don’t want to part from you…”

“Okay. I’ll stay with you. I’ll stay here and coax you to sleep from tonight onward, okay?” Gwendolyn promised while running her fingers through his short yet fluffy hair.

Cedrick nodded slightly in response.

Registering his response, Gwendolyn pulled out his pajamas hidden underneath the pillow and helped him put them on. “It’s freezing today. You shouldn’t sleep naked or you’ll catch a cold. After all, you’ve just gotten better.”

Her attentiveness made him feel contented. Cedrick curled up in her embrace and rested his head on her shoulder, taking in her sweet scent, which helped to dispel his restlessness slowly.

After turning off the bedside lamp, Gwendolyn hugged him to sleep.

Not long after he had dozed off, she, too, began to feel sleepy.

However, she was woken from her slumber by gentle sobbing sounds coming from the person beside her.

At that point, her eyes, which could barely open, had already adjusted to the darkness. She could vaguely see Cedrick sleeping on her arm with his head lowered.

Puzzled by what she had heard, Gwendolyn touched Cedrick’s face. To her surprise, she felt the teardrops on his eyelash.

“Ceddy? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

Cedrick hugged her tighter and murmured with a strong nasal voice, “Gwenny, I don’t know how I got those lipstick stains. I hate myself for it, too. But, please, don’t leave me…”

So, that’s what he’s thinking about.

A tinge of guilt crept into Gwendolyn’s heart for discovering his vulnerable side.

She wanted to tell him the truth but did not know where to start.

He’ll be mad once he finds out he’s been set up, won’t he?

After giving it some thought, she gently patted his back to soothe him. “Why would I? Of course, I still want you. You’re the only man I want in my life. You’re the only one I love.”
