Chapter 358 - Stay The Night (1/2)

Over in Hong Kong, the sun streamed in through Avaleigh's bedroom window. It was the middle of summer so it was already hot in the room even though it was early in the morning.

In her half-sleeping state, Avaleigh kicked away the blankets and rolled over. But, just as she did so, the blanket was quickly replaced by a strong pair of arms that wrapped lovingly around her body.

”It's not good to go from hot to cold so suddenly. You might get sick,” a deep charming voice said beside her ear.

Avaleigh's eyes immediately flew open in surprise when she heard this voice and she gasped when she saw a handsome face in front of her.

Emerson looked at her lovingly and smiled as Avaleigh quickly gathered her thoughts. Why was Emerson there? What was he doing in her bed?

She subconsciously glanced down at their bodies and realized Emerson was only in his underwear and so was she.

A moment later, she blushed in embarrassment as she remembered what had happened the previous night.

After Emerson drove her back from the airport last night, he was planning to go home like he usually did. After all, it was getting late. But, Avaleigh insisted he come up to the apartment so she could cook dinner for him. She knew he had rushed to the airport without finishing his dinner earlier, so she assumed he was still hungry.

Emerson was indeed hungry so he had no reason to refuse.

As soon as they entered the apartment, Avaleigh walked over to the fridge and pulled out some ingredients that she found. Like a professional, she quickly grabbed a wok and made some fried rice. It was simple, but it was too late at night for her to buy more ingredients and make something else.

”It's just a simple bowl of fried rice, but I hope you like it,” she said gently as she placed the bowl of food in front of Emerson.

Emerson smiled and quickly dug into the rice. ”As long as you made it, then I like it. I could eat the things you cook for the rest of my life...” he said lovingly as he savored each spoonful of the rice.

Avaleigh looked at the man and bit her lip as her heart overflowed with emotions. She had never felt this loved by a man before and she felt a bit silly for even doubting him for a moment.

Emerson was honest about enjoying her food, so it didn't take long for him to finish the entire bowl of rice. As he did so, Avaleigh was both happy and disappointed She was happy that he liked her cooking, but she was disappointed because it meant he would be leaving. If she knew he would eat so fast, she would have taken longer to cook.

Avaleigh suddenly remembered the thoughts she had as she was rushing back on the plane from Shanghai. At that time, she was determined to make Emerson hers. Even if she didn't take their relationship to the next level, she wanted to at least make him stay the night. But, now that Emerson was in front of her, she was too shy to make a move or ask him to stay.
