There was a deep feeling of uneasiness creeping into her system, yet Ayla still managed to force a smile.

"Mr.Clark, you own a lot of villas and apartments.I think it's not good for you to squeeze here in my small apartment.Besides, a hotel is more preferable than this.For sure they'll even give you a warm welcome there."

In all honesty, she did not want to stay in the same room as this man.

After all, her apartment only had one bedroom and a single bed.

If he were to stay here, where would he sleep? Brian shook his head and insisted, "No.Your apartment is fine."

He had already made up his mind that he would stay here with her, whether she liked it or not.He would stay here for as long as he wanted.

Even though Ayla had changed a lot, he could tell that her softheartedness did not.Ayla stared at his cold face in exasperation.

How she wished she could kick him out! But Brian did not seem to care about what she felt.

Leaning against the sofa, he squinted his eyes and said tiredly, "I need to rest now.I didn't sleep well last night."

Then, he pulled the thin blanket that she had covered on herself and prepped himself for sleep.

Once he was comfortable on the sofa, he closed his eyes not long after.

Ayla shook her head helplessly and stared at him.She wondered if he could really sleep on the sofa and live here just as he had said.

Albeit annoyed, there was nothing else she could do, so she decided to go to her room.

As a precaution, she closed the door and locked it.The instant Brian heard the sound of a door closing, his eyes fluttered open.

He looked at the closed frosted glass door, and his lips curled into a frown.

‘‘Ayla, you're still naive as before.Do you really think you can escape? It's useless, even if you lock the door.”

Inside the room, Ayla was pacing back and forth with fear and anxiety in her heart.

This was different than the time she protested against Brian.She must admit, she only pretended to be strong and calm at that time.She looked outside the window.

It was sunny, but for some reason, the sky seemed overcast for her.She wanted to make a call to Lucas, but she remembered that she left her phone in the living room.

The only choice she had was to use the landline at the bedside.
