Chapter 167: He Was Falling For Her
After ensuring Aunt Melanie was settled in, Rain went straight to Alexander’s bedroom.
"It’s a tiring day," she weakly murmured as she walked straight to Alexander’s walk-in closet where she also had her clothes. She grabbed her nightwear and a playful smile appeared on her lips as she realized she had picked a nightdress instead of her usual pajamas.
"Maybe this is too much," she thought, noticing how thin the fabric was. In the end, she chose a loose shirt that fell above her knees and quickly headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Once she returned, Rain glanced at Alexander’s bed, then at the sofa bed she had been using. With a mischievous squint, she eyed the sofa bed and thought, ’Hmm, let’s play hard to get a little longer...’
She settled onto the sofa bed, making herself comfortable. A few minutes later, the door creaked open, and she heard Alexander’s soft footsteps. She turned to see him grabbing his clothes.
"I’ll just clean up," he said with a wink, before heading straight to the bathroom.
Rain raised an eyebrow. ’What was that about?’ she mused, finding it odd that he felt the need to announce his plans—and even wink. She chuckled to herself, amused by how unexpectedly playful and adorable Alexander was acting.
Moments later, the bathroom door opened. For some reason, Rain quickly turned her back to him and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. She wasn’t sure why she did it, but her heart raced as she waited for what might happen next.
"Rain, are you asleep?" Alexander whispered. She kept her eyes closed, her back to him, pretending not to hear. She felt the sofa bed dip slightly, and when she finally opened her eyes, he was standing right next to her.
