Chapter 2968: Chapter 158: Sleeping Alone, So Cold (3)

But now, in the dark, their bodies were tightly wrapped around each other, and Harrison Lucas could even feel Jordan Lancaster’s breathing gradually turning heavy.

Yet her heart was utterly calm, she hadn’t even once worried that Jordan Lancaster would claim her in the dark.

Anyway, the Young Master wasn’t interested in her, was he?

Sure enough, when Jordan Lancaster hugged her from behind and kissed her lightly, his lips and teeth biting at the back of her neck, her collarbone, kissing at the hollow of her ear...

His thin, dense kisses fell one after another, and Harrison Lucas even guessed that there might already be faint love bites scattered across her neck.

But once everything reached this point, there were no further moves.

Jordan Lancaster never went any further; their intimacy was forcefully cut off here.

In the end, Jordan Lancaster only did what he had done every time in the hospital before, gently kissing the hair at her forehead and holding her as he fell asleep.

He did nothing at all; the Young Master just held her and slept...

If it had been before today, Harrison Lucas would definitely have been moved by something like this from Jordan Lancaster.

She would have felt warm, felt the Young Master’s cherishing, his protection, his love; she would have unhesitatingly believed she was the happiest woman in the world.

Because her so perfect, so noble Young Master actually did something like holding her to sleep; such gentle protection was so rare.

Before today, what had still been, in Harrison Lucas’s eyes, the gentlest act of protection, had now, all of a sudden, become so ironic.

It wasn’t because of tenderness, it wasn’t because of protection, and it wasn’t because he was mindful of her injuries.

Damn it, her injuries had clearly already healed; everything the Young Master was doing now was nothing more than because he disliked her—disliked her excessively ugly body, disliked holding someone like her.

The Young Master must have regretted it, but he couldn’t say so, because she had once been the one who saved his life; even if he regretted it, he couldn’t say it...

Just like that, in the dark, Harrison Lucas listened to the sound of a man’s steady breathing coming from behind her.

Her tightly shut eyes slowly opened a little, and a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye out of her control.

That night, Harrison Lucas, unusually, couldn’t sleep.

...

The next day.

When Jordan Lancaster took Harrison Lucas downstairs for an exquisite breakfast, he saw his girlfriend across from him, sporting a pair of panda eyes, and asked in a low voice, "You fell asleep very early last night; when I came back I even heard you snoring. How come your dark circles are this bad?"

She snored?

Harrison Lucas had woken up last night when Jordan Lancaster got into bed and started touching her.

So she had no idea she’d been snoring before that.

Well, of course, the Young Master had one more reason to dislike her.

She’d spent too much time in the Military Camp, which was why she was like the other soldiers, even snoring in her sleep.

Girls were supposed to be soft and tender; they would never be like her...

"Debby... you look a little unhappy, don’t you?" Jordan Lancaster’s dark, deep eyes fixed on Harrison Lucas’s face, as if seeing straight through her.

"No, why would I be unhappy." Harrison Lucas shook her head and explained weakly, "I just... it’s the jet lag. There’s a time difference between here and Eastonia. I woke up halfway through the night and couldn’t fall back asleep, so I’m a bit out of it now."

She didn’t want to make things hard for the Young Master, so she pretended.

Jordan Lancaster remembered that this seemed to be Harrison Lucas’s first time in this country, and the days and nights here were indeed reversed from Eastonia; having jet lag was normal.

The doubts in the man’s heart dissipated. He had other things to deal with and really didn’t have the time to spend too much on Harrison Lucas.
