Chapter 762 - Sleeping Together (1/2)

”You have such a wonderful physique ...” Marie said in admiration as she traced his shoulders and went down to his abs and chiseled c.h.e.s.t.

Nicolae could feel his ears turn red, and his c.h.e.s.t began to heat up. Which normal man didn't like being complimented by a beautiful woman?

”Yes, I will give Lilith my shirt to be washed and dried for tomorrow morning. Now we must sleep. You need to rest ..” said the young man then.

”You're not leaving, are you? You will stay with me here?” Marie asked in a worried voice.

”I will stay with you here ...” Nicolae answered. ”Go to your room to sleep. I'll wash my shirt first.”

Hesitantly, Marie finally obeyed Nicolae and walked to her bedroom. She repeatedly turned her head to make sure Nicolae did not go. The young man nodded and pointed to her bedroom.

”Go to sleep ... I will be with you in a moment,” he said to calm Marie down. Finally, Marie nodded and went to her bedroom.

Nicolae could only sigh. He put his shirt, that was damp with Marie's tears, in the washing machine, then took out his cellphone and sent an SMS, telling Altair and Vega and one of their bodyguards, who stayed with them at the apartment, that he would not go home tonight.

[I have an urgent matter to take care of. I will come home tomorrow morning. Good night.]

After he put away his cellphone, Nicolae finally entered Marie's bedroom to make sure the girl was really sleeping and resting. He smiled with satisfaction, seeing Marie lying on the bed and trying to close her eyes. She still wore her shoes and kept tossing and turning on the bed.

”Are you done?” the girl asked in a relieved voice when she saw Nicolae coming. ”I cannot sleep....”

Nicolae sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Marie's head, like what he usually did to comfort Vega or Altair when they were sad, so they could sleep well.

”You must take off your shoes and loosen your clothes so you can sleep comfortably,” commented Nicolae. He then approached Marie's feet and took off her shoes and placed them neatly in the corner of the room. ”Do you like the lights on or off?”

”I like the lights turned off ...” Marie said with gleaming eyes. She was very happy because she felt pampered by this man.

”Alright ... I'll turn off the light.”

”Aren't you going to take off your shoes too?” Marie asked him. ”Later, if you already turned off the lights, you won't be able to see your shoes to take them off.”

”What am I taking my shoes off for?”

”Do you want to sleep with your shoes on? My bed will get dirty ...”
