Chapter 95 – They Seem to Be Trouble
Alex was the first to wake up after over two and a half hours of sleep, which was due to all the alcohol.
If not for that, he would have woken up earlier. The pain had reduced, so he decided to sponge himself a little since he couldn’t have a normal bath due to the scars.
Then he remembered how Joanna almost caught him earlier. It was strange how he seemed to care so much about her feelings when this whole thing was just a contract.
Well, he also did promise that for as long as the contract existed, he was going to treat her as a wife, except for anything intimate happening between them.
He thought about calling Betty to change the sheets but from how peaceful Aiden looked on the bed, he decided to wait until he woke up.
After sponging himself and ensuring his injured areas were not affected, Alex put on casual clothes and was about to go downstairs for breakfast when Aiden woke up.
Alex had already unlocked the door and was about to turn the knob when he heard Aiden’s voice behind him.
"Alex, how are you up already?"
This was the shortest sleep Aiden had and he still wanted more, especially after losing a lot of sleep over the week. He was awoken by Alex’s movements because he was a light sleeper.
"I don’t sleep much, but you can rest more," Alex encouraged him. Aiden refused, feeling like a prisoner confined to Alex’s room.
If not for Joan, he would have stayed to use Alex’s private gym, but now was not the time. "No, I have to go and take care of some things."
