Chapter 119: Want To Sleep Together?

Natalie went straight to her bedroom, preferring to sleep. With Julia beside her, she kept her movements light so as not to disturb her.

For the next hour, she tried her best to fall asleep, but it was impossible. What’s wrong with me tonight? she thought in frustration. Maybe I should drink some water.

She sat up in bed, making sure Julia was still deep in sleep. The water jar on the bedside table was empty, and she frowned, realizing she’d have to go out to the kitchen. He must have gone to sleep by now, she reassured herself.

When she stepped out of the room, the lights in the drawing room were turned off. Seems like he went to sleep.

She walked to the kitchen, only to be startled by the sight of a tall figure standing by the kitchen counter, illuminated softly by the night lamps.

He looked at her before she could change her mind and retreat back to the bedroom.

"Can’t sleep?" he asked, picking up a glass and pouring water for himself.

She maintained her composure and replied, "I... was just here to get some water."

He offered her the glass he was holding.

Feeling awkward, she stepped ahead and accepted the glass, while Justin took the empty jar from her hand and placed it on the counter to fill it.

As she sipped the water slowly, she watched him doing something she hadn’t even asked for.

When she had drunk about a third of the glass, and stopped drinking, he asked, "Done?"

She nodded, and he took the glass back from her. He then poured more water into the same glass and began drinking from it.

Natalie looked at him, stunned. Did he just use the same glass? There was even some water left in it that I didn’t finish.

But then her gaze lingered on him. Even something as simple as drinking water seemed to be filled with a manly grace. Her eyes moved to his neck, watching the way his Adam’s apple moved. She gulped involuntarily.

Justin put the glass down and looked at her, as if silently asking What?

She cleared her throat and gestured towards the water jar he had filled for her. "T-The water jar..."

Justin stepped back, giving her space to pick it up. Natalie moved forward, and just as she touched the jar, she heard him speak.

"Want to sleep together?"

Her hands froze, and her heart skipped a beat. Can this man be any more blatant?

"I can’t sleep either," he added, as if understanding that she hadn’t been able to sleep as well.

"Grandma... is here..." she muttered, her voice low and shaky as she fidgeted with the jar, well aware of his presence behind her, his eyes on her. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
