Chapter 76
Chapter 76 Little Liar
That very night, Elizabeth was plagued with a dream. She dreamed that she fell into the water and had difficulty breathing. It was a horrible feeling.
Anyway, she didn’t get to sleep well and woke up the next day feeling exhausted.
She opened her eyes and was greeted by a handsome face that was mere inches away from
her. The owner of the face was sleeping soundly, and his thick and beautiful lashes cast a shadow
beneath his eyes.
It gave
his
eyes an extra touch of mystery.
Elizabeth gazed at him silently, for he looked dashing when he was asleep.
What a hunk. I never knew that men could look as gorgeous as a painting when they are
asleep. Women are sleeping beauties, but he looks like he belongs in a gorgeous landscape
painting. He looks as strapping and tall as a mountain.
It took a few moments before Elizabeth regained her senses.
She shook her head and chided herself for being mesmerized by him. What a strange
feeling.
Sensing her movement, the man tightened his arms, and Elizabeth was crushed against his
chest as her lips landed on his cheek.
Matthew opened his eyes and met her misty gaze.
Realizing she had just kissed him, he flashed a rakish smile.
“Did you just kiss me in secret?” he asked.
He sounded so confident, as though she had kissed him for real.
Elizabeth jolted up and touched her lips subconsciously.
Just now, you pulled me into your arms, and I accidentally kissed you. It was an accident.
At the sight of her fear and anxiety, Matthew flashed a wide grin.
What a wicked man! Why am I always captivated by him? He makes me do strange things
that are out of my control.
Elizabeth shook her head to clear her mind.
Matthew furrowed his brows. “What did they give me last night? My head hurts.”
It was then Elizabeth belatedly recalled that they were in her room. He got drunk last night
after drinking the liquor Cody used for cooking. It was strong, so she decided to take care of him
just in case something were to happen to him.
After remembering everything, she glanced at the bed.
When did I get into the bed? I somehow managed to squirm into his arms, too!
Elizabeth wanted to pass out in embarrassment. Why did I do that? I made my bed on the
ground and was prepared to sleep on the floor. In the end, I crawled back into my bed. How
mortifying!
Matthew watched as she stuck her tongue out, shook her head, and scratched it.
Finding her adorable, he tamped down his laughter and asked icily, “Was it fake alcohol?”
Elizabeth shook her head. “No, it’s legit. The liquor was brewed by Ms. Elliott’s relative, so it This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
has more alcohol content than the usual liquors sold in the market.”
Matthew arched a brow. “Oh. I didn’t get to eat dinner last night. Will you provide
breakfast?
Finding him pitiful, Elizabeth gave him an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, Matthew. My children are a little mischievous. Please don’t get mad at them. Of course you’ll get to eat breakfast. It’ll
be ready after
you wash up.”
After sitting up, Matthew glanced at himself. He promptly pulled the covers up to cover his
“Who took my clothes off?” he demanded.
Elizabeth could see the fear in his gaze.
Huh? Why would he react this way? Is he worried that I had taken advantage of him?
“It was Ms. Elliott. Don’t wony, she’s old enough to be your mother. You don’t have to be
concerned.”
