There was nothing that one cannot solve if one were to sleep on it. If there was no solution, then it meant that one needed more sleep before one could finally find an answer.
Of course, that meant serious sleep.
That night, however, Elena did not use his arms as a pillow. Instead, Michael had slept on her bosom.
Her arm was wrapped around his neck. Fortunately, her slender arm did not bear much pressure on him. Even though it had gotten a bit numb, it was still tolerable.
However, the more important thing was that she had allowed Eldest Young Master Williams to sleep in her embrace.
She could easily feel it if he was in a bad mood.
However, she was also in a bad mood, so she could not offer him any comfort.
They just slept together.
They did not do nor think about anything else. He had slept on her bosom with his arms around her waist.
Michael fell asleep almost immediately in that position, and she followed suit soon after that.
She knew that they had many problems that they had yet to solve, but they could deal with that once they wake up the next morning.
At least she could have a good night’s sleep that night, right?
She touched his face with her hand, and her slender fingers traced the bridge of his nose and brushed across his thin lips.
She wanted to kiss him, but she did not dare to do that.
Then, she decided to plant a gentle kiss on his chin. After that, Elena closed her eyes and hugged his arm as she slept.
Goodnight, Michael.
…
At around midnight, someone had knocked on their door; it was Levi again.
“Eldest Young Master, Miss Garcia is awake.”
Michael only awoke from his slumber when Levi knocked for the third time.
If Eldest Young Master Williams had not ordered Levi to inform him when the young lady regained consciousness, Levi would not have dared disturb him.
Michael opened his eyes and realized that he was still sleeping in Elena’s embrace.
He had even used her arm as a pillow for the past few hours!
He had never slept like that for as long as he could remember. He felt as if he was a child who had yet to grow up.
Elena’s eyes blinked sleepily, and when she opened his eyes, Eldest Young Master Williams immediately sat up and averted his gaze.
Did she see things? Was that a blush on Eldest Young Master Williams’s face?
She was a little stunned, but when she thought about it, she immediately understood the situation.
Was Eldest Young Master Williams a little shy for sleeping in that position that night?
He did not appear to be awkward while he slept. She knew because she had watched him when he was sound asleep.
Elena coughed softly as if to indicate that she wanted to get up.
When she tried to move, she realized that her arm was numb, and she could hardly move it.
“Urgh…” She frowned and moaned gently.
“Uncomfortable?” Michael looked at her sleepy face and then at her arm, which had been his pillow for half the night.
It had looked so slender as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Such a big man had used such a fragile arm as a pillow for so long. How could it not be uncomfortable?
“Why didn’t you push me away?” When she lifted her arm, he could see the pain that flashed in her eyes.
“You slept like a log. So, I couldn’t push you away,” Elena murmured.
Well, it was because she could not bear to do it, especially when he had slept so soundly.
Michael put her arm on his lap and gently massaged it.
His actions were rough, and it was clear that he had no experience in that.
However, it was still extremely comfortable when Elena finally relaxed.
She could not help but let out a gentle moan, “Mmm…”
With a flick of his fingers, he had hurled the blanket that covered the woman’s body.
She wore a conservative nightdress, but it looked like a mess after she had tossed and turned around in it for the night.
The softer parts of her body looked alluring, especially with her position on the bed.
Just one glance and his desire burned fiercely.
His throat was dry, so Eldest Master Williams’s voice was a little hoarse when he said, “What do you intend to do, moaning on my bed?”
What did she intend to do?
Elena blinked and stared at him, only to realize that he had been staring at her body.
Just as she followed his gaze downward, Elena hurriedly raised her hands to cover herself as she tried to turn around. However, he still had one of her hands in his lap, so she could not move so freely.
She could only turn toward his direction if she wanted him not to stare at her arbitrary position on the bed.
Her small face was flushed red, and she said hurriedly, “I have no intention to do anything, and you are making me a little uncomfortable.”
She wanted to withdraw her arm, but Michael held it tightly as if he did not want to let go of her.
“Uncomfortable?” He thought that she was moaning on his bed because she was too comfortable.
However, her arm was soft, and it had felt terrific. He was a bit reluctant to let go of it.
“Eldest Young Master Williams, Levi is still waiting for you,” Elena reminded him.
Yes, it seemed like his right-hand man still waited for him outside the door.
When he heard movement in the room, Levi did not continue to knock on the door. He knew that they were already awake, so he quietly waited for the eldest young master.
Michael rubbed his eyes impatiently.
Nevertheless, he turned and got out of bed. He found some random clothes to put on before he opened the door.
“Eldest Young Master, Miss Garcia is awake and has been calling for you,” Levi whispered when he saw Michael.
Even though they spoke in whispers, Elena could still hear them.
She pretended not to care and pulled the blanket back onto the bed. She acted like it had meant nothing to her.
Michael wanted to turn around to look at her, but he did not even know what he wanted to see.
Before he stepped out of the room, Michael decided to turn around to look at the slender figure on the bed.
“Wait for my return.”
Wait for his return?
By the time Elena looked up, the door had already closed.
Michael and Levi had left together. The soundproofing of the room was so good that she could not hear their footsteps in the corridor.
Wait for his return? What did he mean?
Elena decided to believe in Eldest Young Master Williams once more and went back to sleep. She continued to rest and continued to wait.
However, she could not sleep a wink.
Ava had woken up and had repeatedly called for Eldest Young Master Williams. That was not something she had expected.
What were they doing?
Did Eldest Young Master Williams intend to console her and to encourage her to live?
Or did Ava plan to cry to Eldest Young Master Williams, and to complain about how miserable she was, and how much she needed him?
She had not wanted to think about it, yet her head was filled with images of Ava and Michael as they snuggled together.
Mutual consent… Bah!
She pulled the blanket over her head to completely bury herself in it.
She thought that she could force herself to sleep. However, even when she was at the brink of suffocation, she still could not fall asleep.
She could not fall asleep!
She was about to suffocate, so she lifted her blanket and sat up.
She had waited long enough!
However, when she looked at the clock, it had only been ten minutes.
She did not imagine that ten minutes could be that long. She thought that at least an hour had gone by.
What were they doing?
She wanted to leave but was reluctant to do either. Eldest Young Master Williams had told her to wait for him.
Finally, Elena laid back on the bed and stared at the white ceiling above her.
The night dragged on, but she was more alert than ever. She was no longer sleepy.
Half an hour later, she got out of bed and turned on Eldest Young Master Williams’s spare laptop. She created a new document and continued to write her scripts.
However, her mind was restless.
What could they be doing?
