Chapter 116: Sleepless Night
“It wasn’t a joke. You asked for my truthful answer and that is my truthful answer. I believe that your best option is to marry me and the sooner the better,” Edward replied without batting an eye. He was so serious.
“Can you tell me why?” I asked.
“It’s late. You must be tired so you should sleep now. We can pick this up tomorrow,” Edward replied as he swiftly got off the sofa and headed for the door.
“Edward...” I called his name softly.
“My bedroom is at the end of the hall...in case you need something,” Edward said without turning back.
He was gone before I could think of something to say. What should I do now? Do I take his advice and just go to bed?
...
This is bad. I’ve been tossing and turning in bed for hours now. No matter what I do, I cannot fall asleep. My mind is so restless with all the new and shocking information that it had to take in. I’m overthinking everything and rerunning what happened and Edward’s words in my mind. This is driving me crazy. I’m sweating and everything about this bed and this room feels uncomfortable. Although, I’m sure it isn’t this room’s fault. The fault lies with my stress and my inability to control it.
I fumbled in the dark for my phone which I had placed on the bedside table. 3:45AM read the time on my phone’s screen. I felt tired but I’m still wide awake. Well, it’s not like I have to be up early tomorrow. In fact, my life is so empty right now. I don’t have anything to do and no plans. I wonder how much longer my life will be like this. I want to find some purpose in life or maybe I just want to find a job like what people my age are supposed to do.
