Chapter 116: She Can’t Sleep
(Arata)
I had completely lost control of him.
What the hell was wrong with me?
Instead of convincing him to believe in love, I was falling into his trap of keeping it casual.
If his phone hadn’t rang, I would never have stopped him.
How desperately I had clung to him.
What was even happening to me?
Changing the dress, I slipped into the soft bed, but sleep had evaded me; only Karsten’s thoughts invaded my brain like a parasite.
Tossing and turning for a long time, I gave up on sleeping. It wasn’t going to come. Grabbing my tablet, I proceeded to the one-seater sofa and cuddled up on it with the dolphin-shaped cushion. Covering myself with the throw blanket, I relaxed in its softness.
For a while, I watched the slow swimming fish, which calmed my erratically beating heart. Their assortment of colours attracted the onlookers as they swam with such a smooth rhythm.
Then I opened my NovelFire App and began to read Mom’s latest book.
