“Hey you!” Looking at Monique who was curled to the far end of the bed, Henry’s lips curled up and called out to her.
Monique heard his hoarse voice calling out to her, she remained unmoved and took a sneak peak at him. She saw a long silhouette by the bed, she shut her eyes tight and pretended to be asleep.
Henry carefreely laid down on the middle of the bed, and fell asleep not long after.
Monique stayed in this position unmoved for quite a while, until she felt the man had fallen asleep before she left out her breath.
‘Stupid man! He did this on purpose! Now that my hands and legs are numb!’ She thought as she turned to peak at the man, after making sure that the man had fallen asleep, she turned back and relaxed. She fell asleep not long after.
Meanwhile, Henry was actually awake all along, he opened his eyes wide after Monique had fallen asleep. She looked at Monique who was curled out by the end of the bed that could fall off the bed anytime now, he reached out his muscular arm and hugged her.
In his arm, Monique instinctively cuddled like a kitten, she exuded a sweet body scent that Henry could not help but gulped and gave her a light peck on her forehead. Looking at her delicate face, Henry felt a sense of serenity he had never felt before. With her in his arms, he fell asleep peacefully.
On the next morning at the Moore mansion.
“Good morning, Young Master.” Mrs. Lee was caught off short when Henry walked out from Monique’s room. She snapped out quickly and went forward to greet him.
They had never seen him like this. Perhaps he had a good night’s sleep? That was possible. Henry slept unusually early yesterday, as he had difficulty sleeping, he always worked till late night, but he went to bed early last night. They thought he was sleeping in his bed, so they tried to avoid making any noise outside his room, as they were too afraid to wake him up.
“Keep your volume down, she's asleep.” Henry’s hoarse voice resonated calmly, unlike his usually cold tone.
Henry looked back, thinking that Monique was still asleep, a faint smile appeared on her lips like a cooling breeze in Spring. She made him feel serene, especially when she laid quietly in his arms, soft and warm, just like a kitten.
Mrs. Lee looked at the smile on Henry’s lips with disbelief. She had not seen him so at ease for a very long time, Mrs Lee was pleased like a mother. She took care of Henry since he was young, and she knew that Henry had a cold heart and bold attitude, but had shown no interest in women no matter if they were celebrities, supermodels, or successful businesswomen.
