Chapter 572 - Fever (1/2)

Anya felt so peaceful.

She seemed to be floating in the sky above a meadow filled with various types of flowers. She saw a group of small children playing, running in the meadow happily.

The sound of the children's laughter made Anya sleep even more soundly.

When awakened, she found herself in the bathtub. Her back leaned on something hard but warm. Obviously it wasn't the bathtub, because it wasn't cold.

The warm water relaxed her whole body.

”What time is it?” Anya asked. Her voice still sounded hoarse because she just woke up from a long night.

”Six in the morning. You have a little fever,” Aiden kissed Anya's neck gently and hugged her with both hands from behind.

Anya turned shyly and hugged Aiden, burying her face in the man's chest. Her hand slammed into Aiden's chest, even though she didn't have the strength. In a room this bright, Aiden could see her entire body very clearly. ”Get your hand off me.”

Although he was reluctant, Aiden finally complied with Anya's request. Then he said in a low voice. ”Take a shower first. After that, let's have breakfast. Tara will be here in a moment.”

”Don't worry. I'm fine,” Anya smiled faintly as she leaned her head against Aiden's chest limply. She didn't want to get up and didn't want to get out of the tub. Leaning against the man's chest felt so comfy.

Anya felt stupid because she kept trying to lie to her feelings.

How could she not love Aiden anymore? Aiden was the only man who could make her this comfortable…

”Are you shy?” Aiden laughed, making his chest rise and fall slightly. Then he kissed the top of Anya's head gently. ”I can cancel my departure today.”

”No need. It's just a fever. Not a big problem. Don't ruin your work because of me. I'll stay here for a while. Tara and Mrs. Hana can take care of me,” Anya knew Aiden really cared for her. To convince him, she decided to stay at Aiden's house for a while.

”I'll decide whether I should go today or not only after Tara comes and checks on you,” Aiden said calmly.

Anya felt very embarrassed and happy when she got such extraordinary attention. On the other hand, she felt awkward because they were still in the bathtub together right now.

Aiden lowered his head and kissed Anya's forehead once again. Anya raised her head, wanting to look into Aiden's face. And then, the man dropped a kiss on her lips.

”The water is cold. Let's go out,” Anya put her hand around Aiden's neck. Her body felt weak now. She didn't want to stand alone and didn't want to get out of the tub by herself.

She might pass out or slip when she stepped on the ground.

”If you are cold, I can do something to warm you,” Aiden teased as he brought Anya back to bed.

Anya opened her eyes, then she looked at Aiden's handsome face and pretended to close her eyes again. The man stretched out his hand and patted her face with a chuckle, ”Don't pretend to be fainting.”

It didn't take long for the storm to break out. It wasn't only her body that had become warm, the whole room had also turned hot.

Anya looked slightly sullen as she looked at Aiden after their morning quickie was over.

”Are you not cold anymore?” Aiden asked.

”No. I'm sweating now,” she said irritably. ”Are you satisfied?”

”Very satisfied,” Aiden kissed her lips. Then, he pointed to a brown envelope on top of the nightstand. ”The work contract that you signed. I return it to you.”
