After her words, Gloria reached to her phone and was about to leave.
Sleeping alone now was the best solution to calm each other down.
But Kenny would not let her go. He blocked her within a few steps.
“Don’t do this right now.”
“You are the one doing it. Not me.” Gloria raised her head to look at him coldly. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Kenny put fingers against his temples and looked exhausted.
“Was it because of this morning?”
Gloria did not confirm.
What happened this morning was only a trigger. They both were busy lately, and even they were under the same roof, Gloria could only meet Kenny when she was woken up at midnight.
And last night at Jin Ding, Gloria thought she could be having dinner with Kenny on time, but he was late again. Though he had his reason, and Gloria understood no one should be blamed for that, the disappointment still existed.
Not to mention his tone this morning when they knew the news.
It was all about attitude.
“It’s getting late. I don’t want to talk about it now.” Gloria answered.
She did not want this small argument boiled over into a serious quarrel, so sleeping alone was the best thing to do.
“Fine.”
Then Kenny carried her to the bed and held her tightly.
“Let’s get some sleep.”
Gloria rolled her eyes but did not resist anymore.
The next day morning, she was wakened up by Kenny’s hands.
“You awake?”
“Stop!” She reached to stop his hands.
Yet Kenny laid down to her and kissed her from her cheek to ear, as he whispered, gasping.
“I want you...”
And Gloria could not remember much since this.
Kenny pressed himself on her body and asked when she was In her delirium.
“Do you still want to sleep alone?”
Gloria moaned and could not even think things straight.
“No...” She mumbled.
“Good girl.” Kenny petted her head.
...
He got Gloria exhausted and she fell asleep again.
Kenny put her on the bed and covered her body, then he just looked at her being asleep.
It was until he could hold her to sleep at night that insomnia stopped tortured him, but in the middle of last night, when he tried to huddle her again after he was back from the bathroom, Gloria pushed him subconsciously.
That panicked him.
He was so busy lately, and there were too many things for him to do. He needs to cling to power in his family so that he was able to investigate his mother’s case.
Yet that night at Jin Ding, when Kenny saw the disappointment in her eyes, he went a little antsy.
And yesterday, when he knew the news, it rose to anxiety, so he said something wrong to her.
But she was too calm and sensible that choose to sleep alone than having a quarrel with him because she did not want to affect his work.
Never would he allow them to sleep separately.
Buzz...
As he was thinking, Randy Clarke called him on the phone.
“Took a day off?” Randy’s voice came from the end of the other line.
“Yeah, I’m sick.” Kenny got his throat hurt a bit because of what they did, which do sound like being sick.
“Alright, get some rest.” Randy advised.
...
Gloria had a drowsy look and opened her eyes slowly.
She smelled fried eggs and bacon, and then she saw Kenny in a robe was setting the small table.
That scene could only be seen by her.
“Come on, time to eat.” Kenny looked at her and give her a smile.
While Gloria bounced from the bed and screamed.
“What time is it!?”
“Relax. I ask for sick leave for you.” Kenny said.
Gloria looked at the watch and it was almost ten in the morning, and though she did not want to take a day off in the first few days she worked, it was too late anyway.
She sat in front of Kenny to eat.
“How do you think of Si?” Gloria hesitated and then asked him.
