Garrett was still in his pajamas. His hair was a little disheveled, which made him look like a pitiful child. Without his glasses, Laney could see the nuances in his bright brown eyes.

Laney suddenly felt bad. She loosened her grip on his collar and pulled away slightly. As she looked at his pitiful face, she found herself at a loss for words, and her anger gradually dissipated.

Somehow, she even blushed! Realizing that, she turned her face away to hide it. “Forget it. I’ll let you go this time.”

After saying that, she turned around and hurried out, ignoring Garrett’s stunned expression.
