Chapter 241: Child of the Devil
Fil had been feeling lethargic since a few nights ago. Rubbing her shoulder while stretching her neck, a frown couldn’t help but show on her face.
"Are you okay?" seated beside her on the first class flight, Jackson’s eyes brimmed with worry.
She smiled at him and nodded. "Mhm. It’s probably just the files I have to review. It’s been giving me a headache."
"Why don’t you set those papers aside and rest?" Jackson reached for the printouts in her hand and put them away. "You’ve been reviewing all of these during your off."
"It’s not called days off, Jack. I was given that time to review these documents, so I am ready once I start again," she corrected while letting him move up the blanket over her shoulder. "So warm. This is nice."
"It would be if I pulled up this partition between us."
A giggle slipped past her closed lips, watching him take off the partition between them. Fil hurriedly squeezed herself to his side and his impossible warmth immediately cradled her.
"So nice," she whispered. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt so heavy and sleepy now that she was in his arms.
"Just rest." Jackson placed a kiss on top of her head. "This is a twelve-hour flight. It’s best if you use this time to rest."
Her lips curled up. There was always something in his voice she found soothing and relaxing. His presence always made her safe, knowing she would wake up and he would still be there for him.
"You sleep too," she murmured as she slowly drifted to her slumber. "Don’t stay up too long, Jack."
