James glanced at the moon outside the French windows following her gaze.
He let go of Amelia, lifted the blanket, got up, closed the curtains, and turned off the night light.
âNow we canât see anything, go to sleep quickly. You have to meet Ryan tomorrow.â
His tone in the last sentence was clearly annoyed, as if he was gritting his teeth.
Taking advantage of the pitch-black environment where nothing could be seen clearly, Amelia secretly glared at him.
Just as she finished glaring, a strong and powerful arm reached out, startling her. She thought he had such good eyesight to see her little moves, but he casually said, âRest your head on my arm.â
When she couldnât sleep, she liked to rest her head on his arm, nestle in his embrace, and put her legs on his waist. Every time she keep this position, she would quickly fall into a peaceful sleep. James also knew about her sleeping habits and always accommodated her. Many times, his arm would go numb from being pressed, but he wouldnât move, which was heartwarming.
Amelia leaned closer, nestled into his embrace, and breathed in the faint scent of cedar on his body, gradually falling dreamâ¦
James, holding her, quietly listened for a while in the dark night. He noticed that she didnât call out âRyanâ like before, and his heart gradually settled.
Until now, he still didnât know why Amelia, who had claimed to love him for eight years, would call Ryanâs name so many times. in her sleep.
Because he didnât know, there were many times when he would sit alone at the bedside all night, just wanting to hear if she would still call out for Ryan.
He admitted that he was quite petty. Whenever the matter of Ryan came up, he would always feel nervous and uneasy, just like now, knowing that she would meet Ryan tomorrow, he couldnât help but feel annoyed.
James didnât sleep all night, and Amelia probably had something on her mind too. She woke up after a few hours of sleep. After finished getting ready, she greeted James, but he ignored her.
âHoney, you agreed to it yourself. Since you agreed, donât be so petty.â
After a few seconds of silence, James moved his gaze away from the phone screen, lifted his sculpted chin, and looked at Amelia, who had lightly applied makeup.
âItâs just a visit, why put She hadnât slept well last night and had dark circles under her eyes, so she covered them up with foundation. It wasnât intentional.
âTake off your makeup.â
Amelia raised her wrist and glanced at her crystal watch.
âI made an appointment with Eva at eight. Itâs too late now.â
James furrowed his cold and thick eyebrows tightly.
âThen go another day.â
Amelia had no choice but to remove her makeup. Seeing her appeared even more pure without makeup, James regretted it again.
With her current appearance, going to see Ryan would only evoke more memories of their youth.
He approached her, untied her high ponytail, and casually tied her hair into a low ponytail.
Finally, he made her look like a married woman before allowing her to leave.
