Hellbound With You novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Changed

Alex paused and looked at her when Abi looked up. She blinked at him, her big beautiful eyes silently pleading him to continue reading. But Alex didn't give in and he slowly closed the book.

"Reading to you was a bad idea," he said. "You should be sleeping by now."

Abi pursed her lips. "But… the story is interesting. I want to know what happens next."

"But you need to sleep." He reached over and put the book on top of the bedside table. "It's time for you to sleep," he insisted and without waiting for her response, he slipped his body under the covers, facing her. "I'll read the continuation tomorrow night."

"Really?" Abi's eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

"I can read you a book every night if you want me to."

Abi's lips curved up into a big, bright smile before a soft cute chuckle left her mouth.

"I remember how hard I had to work just to make you read me a book but now, I don't even have to ask. You're even offering to without me asking." She giggled, causing Alex to bite his lips.

He suddenly pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her waist. "That's enough. Don't remind me how a na?ve little lamb actually managed to seduce a big bad wolf into submission."

"I don't remember seducing you. You were the one who was always seducing me."

"Rubbish," he snorted and Abi giggled again. "Just because you had no idea how you were seducing me since the day I met you, doesn't mean you weren't seducing me." Their eyes met and sparks started flying, but Alex shut his eyes closed and pinched the skin between his brows. "Damn it, Abigail, listen to me and go to sleep," he sighed in frustration, feeling his little big monster waking up from its long slumber.

"Okay, okay. Let's sleep now." She finally gave in, buried her face on his chest and told him the sweet words, "Goodnight, Alex."

"Goodnight." He kissed her head and Abi closed her eyes with a smile still playing on her lips. She wished silently that they could stay like this… forever. She prayed that Alex was truly alright.

…

The next morning, Abi's family were standing in front of a huge mansion, looking up with extreme surprise written on their faces.

Charles, the butler, opened the door revealing Alex standing just inside the huge double doors. Charles bowed, greeted them all and gestures for them to enter.

Alex immediately greeted them as well and led them inside the house.

"Abi just woke up but they took her away and are not letting her to leave the room," Alex said to them.

"What? What do you mean?" Andrew butted in, looking concerned.
