Chapter 43 We Must Sleep In The Same Room Tonight (2/2)

”It's getting late. We have to get to bed early.” Amelia changed the topic. She knew the redness of her cheeks was showing. She was rendered incapable of speaking, yet again. She didn't know how to answer, let alone, what to answer.

With his eyebrows raised, Lucian smiled slightly, nodded and said, ”Well, you have to go to work tomorrow. Go to bed early.”

”Yes.” Amelia nodded her head and turned away.

”You can sleep in the master bedroom tonight,” said Lucian. He took Amelia's hand and gave her a hint with his twinkling eyes.

”No way!” Amelia got rid of his hand immediately. She frowned and said unhappily, ”It seems that what I said just now has all become a giant blob of nonsense!”

Lucian realized that she thought too much. He laughed and said, ”Don't take me the bad guy here, Amelia. What were you thinking before I could even finish my words?”

The more he pried, the worse the result would be.

Amelia already had a crush on him. He was not eager to win her affection, but he wanted to get a chance to know more about her in the days to come. This, to Lucian, was key to having a more solid relationship with her.

”I'll sleep here. Where are you going to sleep?” she asked, her face still red with blush.

”Of course I...” Lucian drew his face closer to her and smelt the scent of her. ”...sleep next to you,” he teased.

Amelia glared at Lucian, slapped him on the arm and said, ”Shame on you to say you're not a lascivious man. I know about your history so I'd better be on guard around you.”

She didn't forget Lucian took photos of her while she was intoxicated. At the thought of this, her affections for him dwindled, and she felt weak.
