184 Completely Fallen for Her 12 (2/2)
She nodded with a grin and acknowledged him. ”Alright, go and get a bath. I've already bathed.”
”Okay.” He reached out to touch her head, then headed to the bathroom.
Mo Li sat at the side of the bed, smiling bitterly to herself.
When they went to bed, he fell asleep exceptionally quickly while Mo Li could not get to sleep.
Despite that, she did not want to toss and turn for fear of waking him up.
At around one or two in the morning, when it was said that people were in the deepest sleep, she secretly got up. She took the phone he placed on the table to the bathroom but realized that it was locked with a passcode.
After a few unsuccessful tries, she placed the phone on the table again and put on a sweater before entering his study room.
Switching on his laptop, she found that it was also locked with a passcode without exception.
Mo Li could not get any sleep for the whole night. When Byron left in the morning, although she was so sleepy to the point that her eyelids were twitching, she still could not fall asleep.
She did not know either what she wanted to verify. She had already heard it with her own ears, what other room for reservation was there left?
Forcing herself to sleep, she found that even her dream was full of instability. She dreamt that she was running continuously while someone was chasing behind her endlessly, forcing her to a corner.
When she suddenly woke up, it was afternoon already. She packed some stuff briefly and made a trip to Byron's office.
Byron was having a meeting, so she waited for him in his office.
When Byron came back from his meeting, he asked her with a grin, ”Why're you here?”
”I wanted to have dinner with you outside.”
”Umm, okay.” He leaned in to kiss her forehead, then sat on the chair as he replied, ”I still have some matters to settle, give me a moment.”
”Alright.” She stood up and stretched herself lazily. ”I'll go to your lounge to lie down for awhile, call me when you're done.”
He nodded in acknowledgement.
Mo Li went to his lounge and rested on the bed, feeling rather sluggish.
She felt like she had slept for a long time. When she looked at the time on her phone, it was already 6 pm.
But he was not done yet.
She could only get off the bed and look out from the doorway. Seeing that he was still busy, she closed the door gently and continued to wait.
After ten minutes, she heard footsteps approaching. Opening the door, she came face-to-face with him.
”I'm done, let's go,” he said with a faint smile.
”Umm.”
The two went downstairs together. Mo Li sat on the seat beside the driver's position. She had never observed him driving so closely before. The car was wide, and all the windows were covered by blinds. The seats on the back row were very spacious and were even retractable. They could basically be used as a small bed.
She turned her gaze back and asked with her face not changing, ”Do you have any engagements tonight?”
Byron nodded. ”Yes, sorry. I often have to work until late before I can go home to accompany you.”
She shook her head; it was already very clear to her. ”It's alright, work comes first.”
”I really like girls like you, pretty and obedient at the same time.”
Mo Li did not answer. When the car stopped at a restaurant, the two had a meal and even ordered some red wine.
Byron did not detect anything wrong with her. The two had a peaceful meal, and at the end, she finally said, ”Honey, come home earlier later.”
He nodded. ”l'll try.”
Mo Li beamed at him. ”I'm done, I'll go home first.”
”I'll give you a lift.”
