Chapter 129: Harmless Little Lamb
{Music Recommendation;Wildest Dreams byDuomo}
Returning to his chamber, Ivan noticed the young woman no longer sobbed out, and when he looked down at the arms that still held onto him, her grasp was still firm against him, but her eyelids were closed, making him realize she had fallen asleep on the way here. Dropping her on the bed no longer seemed possible, whilst he took his seat on his chaise lounge while she slept comfortably in his arms, her head resting comfortably against his chest.
Ivan grabbed a nearby blanket that was neatly folded and draped it on Samantha to shield her body from the coldness of his chamber. One would actually think he was nursing a newborn due to how he handled her like an egg that would break if he wasn’t careful.
When nighttime approached, Samantha’s eyes opened once again.
Blinking severally to clear her vision, her green eyes settled on the face of Ivan who seemed to have dozed off. It took a while for Samantha to realize she had slept in the arms of Ivan, but when she tried to move, the biting pain in her back made her stay still, whilst her gaze moved to Ivan who hadn’t shifted from his position. He propped his head with his hand, and his eyes were sealed shut, his lashes didn’t show even the slightest flicker, which meant he had to be asleep.
Samantha’s eyes darted across the room that was enveloped in a shadowy darkness. The only light that illuminated the room came from the glass window since the curtains hadn’t been drawn closed. Letting out a deep breath, her gaze inadvertently landed on where she had rested her head, and her eyes widened to see she had dampened Ivan’s shirt with her tears.
Did she cry in her sleep?
Lifting her hand and placing it on his chest, Samantha tried to erase the tears by wiping it off so he wouldn’t see and get mad at her because of it, but her body froze when she heard a deep sotto voce question her action.
"What are you doing?"
