Chapter 345: Avoid me for days
Roderick flicked Ivy’s forehead, making her wince slightly in pain. Before she could retaliate, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward the bedroom, ignoring her constant whining about just one kiss.
"You’re impossible," she grumbled while pouting.
Roderick remained unfazed as made her lie down and pulled the duvet over her. "Sleep," he ordered firmly before straightening up and walking out of the room without another word.
He shut the door behind him and went to the living area, placing the bottles on the table. With a tired sigh, he finally headed to his own room, ready to get some much-needed rest.
As he slid under the duvet, a small chuckle escaped his lips. "She’s going to avoid me for days," he muttered to himself.
But just as he was about to drift off, soft knocks echoed from his door.
"Rick, let me sleep with you. Please," Ivy’s voice came from the other side.
Roderick blinked a few times, his brows furrowing in confusion. He hesitated before getting out of bed and opening the door, only to find Ivy leaning against the wall, her head resting against it.
She tilted her head up, her eyes glassy and filled with unshed tears. "Rick... please don’t leave me," she whispered in a fragile voice.
Realizing she was totally drunk, Roderick exhaled and gently grasped her arm. "Come inside," he said, guiding her in.
Ivy immediately climbed onto the bed, curling up under the covers. Without a word, Roderick adjusted the duvet over her before walking to the other side of the bed. As he settled in, he noticed Ivy’s gaze fixed on him.
