Chapter 123 This Man Is Too Much...
Gwenda remained motionless, but her hands clenched tightly under the blanket.
Although her act was good, Olivier still noticed her trembling eyelashes, and he smiled. "You knew that
I was showering here, and yet you still decided to sleep early. Aren't you afraid that I might do
something to you?"
Gwenda, who was playing dead, was speechless.
Olivier's smile grew bigger as he leaned down, his warm breath puffing against her face.
Gwenda felt on edge in an instant, and her fists tightened further under the covers.
Her heart was pounding violently, and her blood was roaring in her ears.
The trembling of her eyelashes became a little obvious due to how fast they were fluttering.
Observing her up-close, Olivier saw that she was about to lose it and a wicked grin appeared
unexpectedly on his face. "Just sleep."
With that, he planted a kiss on her forehead before caressing her head affectionately. Then, he left.
...
The door closed with a light thud.
Gwenda only opened her eyes slowly after some time had passed.
She reached up to touch the spot where he had kissed her. It felt like it was on fire.
Her heart was trembling too.
This man was too much...
That night, Gwenda was unable to sleep due to Olivier's teasing.
The next day, Gwenda woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing this, Melanie asked with
concern, "Did you not sleep well last night, Gwenda?"
"Yeah, not really."
She had nightmares all night. It would be a miracle if she had actually slept well.
"Well, are you energetic enough to play with us, Gwenda? The housekeeper has arranged plenty of fun
activities for us today!"
Wendy asked, her voice muffled as she chewed on her bread.
Gwenda rubbed her temples and said wearily, "I think so."
"If you can't go, then forget it. Rest well for the morning."
Olivier poured her a glass of milk, handing it to her before continuing, "Once you're done with
breakfast, go back to your room and rest."
"It's fine, I can join you guys."
Gwenda did not want to be a spoilsport.
"Behave!"
Olivier's eyes darkened a little.
Gwenda shrank back after glancing at him, a little scared.
Aside, Melanie patted Olivier's hand and gave him a glare. Then she said to Gwenda, "He's right, dear.
You won't miss much this morning. Rest well later. We'll be fishing by the river. Once you wake, you
can join us."
Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade her, Gwenda could only nod and said, "Alright, I'll go
catch up on some sleep then."
After breakfast, Gwenda went upstairs.
However, she still could not sleep after tossing and turning for half an hour.
She got out of bed and left her room, but she did not expect to run into Olivier.
"You..."
"You didn't sleep?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivier spoke first.
Gwenda was stunned for a bit before she shook her head. "No, I couldn't sleep."
"Couldn't sleep?"
Olivier stared at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "Is it because of the change in environment?
You're not used to the place?"
"I don't know. Maybe."
Gwenda gave a vague answer.
It was not like she could tell him that he was the reason she could not sleep last night.
"So, where are you going now?"
Olivier asked.
"Where's granny? I want to chat with her for a bit."
With that said, Gwenda was about to leave when Olivier caught her hand in his.
"Wait."
Gwenda stopped and looked up at him.
Olivier smiled. "There's a private theatre upstairs and I want to watch a movie. Why don't you
accompany me since you can't sleep?"
"Uh, to watch a movie..."
Gwenda hesitated.
But Olivier gave her no time to think. He simply dragged her upstairs with him.
In the large private theatre upstairs, there was only a huge floor-to-ceiling screen and two beds.
"Shall we lie down and watch?"
Gwenda stared at the two beds in surprise and frowned.
"It'll be comfortable that way."
Olivier smiled and strolled over to the side to pick a movie.
For some reason, Gwenda suddenly recalled the feeling of sleeping together with him on the same bed
last night, which caused her cheeks to flare crimson.
"Uh... I'm a little sleepy all of a sudden. I think I'll go back to bed."
Gwenda turned to leave even as she spoke.
His amusement was somewhat evident when Olivier caught her and pulled her to face him. "What are
you running for? If you want to sleep, you can sleep right here."
"But..."
"I need someone to watch movies with me."
Olivier said unapologetically.
Gwenda bit her lip and muttered in a low voice, "You could get Wendy, or even granny..."
"They're busy now. It's just you!"
Olivier stared at her resolutely and dragged her to the bed, pressing her on it. "Lie down. The movie's
about to start!"
With that, he turned off the lights.
Darkness enveloped them in an instant.
Gwenda lay on the bed nervously as she felt the bed dip in the spot next to her. Her heart felt as if it
was going to jump out of her throat.
Great heavens...
Was he not torturing her?
Why did he have to lie on a bed to watch a movie?
Who the hell invented this??
"Relax!"
Sensing her nervousness, Olivier held her hand, gently caressing the back of it with his own calloused
one. He persuaded her mildly. "Focus on the screen, you must concentrate..."
