Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 557 - 553 I Am Not That Beastly
Nolan Davis’s guess was indeed correct.
She really held him like that, sleeping peacefully through the night.
This sleep was the best Sophie Smith had had in half a month, but it was also the most uncomfortable sleep Nolan Davis had ever had.
Sophie opened her sleepy eyes, and when she saw the person in front of her...
She didn’t even have time to scream before she jumped off the bed, nearly twisting her ankle.
"Careful..." Nolan shook his head at her startled bird-like appearance.
"I, why am I with you..."
"Don’t worry, we didn’t do anything, you’re on your period, aren’t you?" He curved his lips, "I, Nolan Davis, am not so much of a beast to ’fight a bloody battle’."
"..."
Sophie was speechless.
Alright, even though he probably didn’t do anything to her, but still, sleeping on the same bed made her feel uneasy.
Nolan got out of bed, adjusted his slightly disheveled robe, and, ignoring her face that had turned so red it could drip blood, walked out with seeming calmness.
Of course, that so-called ’calmness’ was all an act.
Sophie felt terribly awkward, cuddling up to a man she wasn’t even that familiar with during her ’monthly visitor’?
...
Nolan took a very long cold shower in the room, as if only then washing off the scent she’d left on him.
How long had it been since he’d touched a woman?
He couldn’t even withstand a little temptation.
After getting dressed and walking downstairs, he found her happily entertaining a child, and he couldn’t help but let his lips curve upward.
"Morning." He greeted her nonchalantly.
"Morning..."
Sophie was quite embarrassed, her face always thin-skinned back when she was with Asher Land, though under his shameless tutelage, she seemed to have grown bolder in front of him, but that was only in front of Asher.
"No need to look all scared. Although you slept with me the entire night, don’t worry, I, Nolan Davis, won’t hold you responsible."
"..."
"If you ever need me to be your bed warmer in the future, just say the word, I’m at your service."
Nolan’s playful banter did help ease her tension somewhat.
"I won’t dare do it again." She chuckled lightly, a genuine smile spreading across her lips.
Nolan didn’t see her laugh often, so he felt that her smile was especially precious.
He didn’t know why, but suddenly remembered what Luke Land said to him on the golf course yesterday.
Luke said Asher Land was poisoned by Sophie Smith.
Yet, he too seemed to have become possessively trapped.
Often, with many things, even he didn’t know why.
"Mr. Davis, what are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Sophie handed him a cup of coffee.
She made it specially for him, exactly to his taste.
Freshly ground coffee beans, then half a sugar cube.
He took a sip, and yes, this was the usual taste.
"If you could make me a cup of coffee every morning from now on, I’d be eternally grateful," he chuckled.
Every day? How was that possible?
Though she might be physically here now, in her heart she firmly believed that one day Asher Land would take her and the child back to his side.
