NovelBookChapter 110
Once Stephen was sure that Tessa was deep asleep and would not cause a ruckus anymore, he quietly tiptoed
out to the living room.
Her apartment consisted of two bedrooms and a living room, but the other bedroom was empty.
Hence, he could only make do with the couch.
It was deep into the night, and he fell asleep soundly.
Early the next morning, Tessa, who maintained a consistent sleep schedule, woke up at her usual tjust as it
was sunrise.
However, her head was pounding due to her hangover, and it took her stfor her to cto her senses.
She could only remember going to dinner with her colleagues and heading to the bar to have a few drinks after
that.
Due to her low alcohol tolerance, she blacked out after having just a few cups.
However, Tessa could vaguely remember a man coming up to her, and how she had clung onto that man, telling
him a bunch of nonsense.
With that thought in mind, she immediately shuddered and sobered up. A wave of panic surged through her as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe thought about how she would have to explain things to Stephen if he found out about it.
Would he be jealous?
She wasn't afraid that he'd be mad. She was just afraid that he would
misunderstand her and feel upset over the incident. She cared about him and did not want him feeling sad
either.
Tessa lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Suddenly, she noticed the clothes she was wearing.
Why was she in her pajamas? When did she change into her pajamas? How did she get hlast night?
Tessa pushed open the bedroom door, getting ready to shower when she saw a person lying on her couch.
The man was covered with a blanket, his feet resting on the armrest of the couch. His eyes were closed, while his
chin was slightly tilted, and his jawline looked sharp and defined.
It was Stephen! Why was he here?
Oh, God!
Did he go to the bar last night to take her home? Wouldn't that mean that he had seen her clinging onto another
man...
She tried to recall what had happened, but no matter how hard she tried, she just could not remember what that
man looked like.
Tessa felt like she was about to burst into tears. She didn't even dare to think about how much Stephen had seen
last night.
She felt too ashamed to face him.
However, he was sleeping in an upright posture on her couch, and he looked stunning.
Tessa stared at him, entranced.
It was a quiet morning, and the room was so still that she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Seeing his tall figure curled up on the smalkcouch, she couldn't help but feeba pang of guilt. So, she walked over
and stood in front of him, then reached out to poke his face.
Stephen remained sound asleep and did not stir.
Gathering her courage, she proceeded to pinch his cheek, causing him to stir.
He opened his eyes drowsily as he looked at Tessa. "Tess, you're awake."
Tessa was silent for a while before she bit her lip gently and suggested, "Stephen, just go and sleep in my room."
Stephen got up and combed his hair with his fingers. "What tis it?"

There was a clock hanging on the wall of her living room, so she glanced at the clock. "It's 7:30 am right now."
He immediately pulled her into his embrace, wrapped his arms around her, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"It's Saturday today. Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Why are you up so early?" His voice was still hoarse
from his sleep, making his voice sound low and seductive.
His warm breath brushed against her ear.
She instinctively shrank back, her entire left side going numb. "I don't want to sleep anymore. | drank too much
last night, and my head hurts."
Stephen chuckled softly, "You shouldn't drink so much if you can't handle alcohol. Do you even know how much
trouble you caused last night when you were drunk?"
She had almost made him lose control in public.
Tessa suddenly thought of how she had clung onto a man last night and immediately blushed, feeling extremely
embarrassed. "I-I'm sorry, Stephen."
His voice was deep and husky, carrying a teasing edge that made her heart race.
"What? Do you think a simple apology would settle things?"
and
He smirked and continued, "You haven't even slept with me, yet you were out around telling people that have a
problem in that aspect? Why don't you test it out yourself and see whether | can get it up or not?"
