Jaydon also smiled and closed his eyes. His arms wrapped around her even tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He stroked her hair gently, feeling endless satisfaction in his heart.

Alita had promised not to fall asleep, but Jaydon’s steady and strong heartbeat, warm embrace, and gentle comfort made sleepiness overcome her. She felt groggy, and her mind fell into sleep.

An hour later, Jaydon opened his eyes and looked at Alita in his arms. She was already sound asleep.

She nestled in his arms like a child, her arms wrapped around his waist. Her face was calm and peaceful, and she was very dependent on him.

He reached out to touch her face. His heart softened. He thought, ‘Alita, you still remember and miss my embrace, right? I know you haven’t forgotten. In the past, you always wanted my embrace. I was angry with you, so I didn’t embrace you. But now, when I want to embrace you, you keep pushing me away and refuse to return to me. I had to use such a despicable method before you were willing to rest in my arms for a while. You’re really the cruelest and most hard–hearted woman in the world. You didn’t even want our child after you left. Why are you so heartless?‘

Looking at Alita’s face, Jaydon’s emotions were conflicted. He loved and hated her at the same time. His heart ached for her, but he wanted to torture her as well. He seemed two–faced, gentle and affectionate, but cold and cruel sometimes.

He kissed her forehead. At that moment, he didn’t want to hate her. He just wanted to hold her tight until the end of time.

In the dead of the night, the temperature in the forest plummeted to freezing point. In her sleep, Alita subconsciously hugged Jaydon tightly. The embrace made her feel very safe. It was a familiar and comfortable scent. It was something she yearned for in her memory. However, for a moment, she could not remember who he was.

“Oh!” A scream suddenly sounded in the quiet forest in the early morning.

While scaring away the small animals, it also woke up Jaydon and Alita, who were sleeping soundly.

When they opened their eyes, their eyes met at a close distance, and they could not look away. For a moment, they were confused about the time. Jaydon almost called Alita his wife.

Evelyn’s scream attracted Karen, Sabina, and Crystal..

The scene in the tent made them dumbfounded because Ms. Thompson and Mr. Lewis were hugging each other in an extremely intimate posture. They were lying face to face like an old married couple.

“You–you guys, separate yourselves now!” Evelyn clenched her fists and angrily shouted.

Alita suddenly came back to her senses. She pushed Jaydon away and got up to look outside the tent. The gazes made her completely confused. The sky outside was already bright.

Jaydon got up unhurriedly and smiled lazily. “Is it dawn? It seems the evil spirit that has possessed Miss Thompson has been eliminated. It was so cold last night. I was sleepy in the latter half of the night and hugged Miss Thompson to keep myself warm. I think it was the same case with Miss. Thompson.”

Alita held her forehead unnaturally and said cooperatively, “Maybe. I can’t remember what happened last night. My head still hurts a little.”

“You really didn’t do anything?” Evelyn had been scared out of her wits last night, but when she saw them hugging each other so intimately this morning, she was jealous.

“Of course not. Look at how properly dressed we are. How could we have done anything, right?” Alita said with a smile. Suddenly, she felt that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath her clothes. She suddenly remembered that he had ripped off her underwear last night.

Instantly, her smile twitched.

Evelyn looked at their clothes. If they were doing anything, their clothes wouldn’t be so neat. She felt relieved. She smiled and crawled into the tent. She pounced on Jaydon and kissed him hard on the cheek. “I don’t think Jaydon would do that either.”

Alita secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She felt inexplicably stifled.

Karen, Sabina, and Crystal exchanged glances. They thought, ‘Is it really that simple?‘

After calming down last night, they had discussed it. There were no such things as evil spirits in this world. There must be some other reason for Ms. Thompson’s strangeness. What had happened since yesterday made them think Mr. Lewis had harassed Ms. Thompson. However, with Ms. Thompson’s bold temper, she couldn’t have tolerated it. They thought, ‘Could it be that Ms. Thompson is willing, and they’re having an affair? But if they’re having an affair, why would Ms. Thompson resist?‘ They sighed. The more they thought about it, the more conflicted they became.

When Alita saw Karen and the others winking at each other, she thought they must be making wild guesses. Alita sighed and thought, ‘What should I do now?‘

She immediately felt frustrated.

After packing up, the sun came out, and the forest instantly felt like a paradise again. Especially after the rain, there were still water droplets on the leaves. When the sun shone, they glittered like diamonds. The entire forest suddenly looked like a world filled with diamonds. It was dazzling and beautiful.

“How amazing!” Evelyn forgot about yesterday’s panic and reveled in the

scenery.

Karen and the others were also immersed in this beautiful world, unable to extricate themselves.

Only Alita was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. She walked toward

Jaydon and said politely and distantly, “Mr. Lewis, let’s go back. If we stay any longer, I’m afraid the sky will turn dark again.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to Miss Thompson’s arrangements.” Jaydon could tell Alita was in a bad mood, so he didn’t provoke her.

The group walked back. Fortunately, the glow sticks along the way were not blown by the wind or covered by fallen branches. They successfully returned to the car.

Alita drove out of the forest and onto the vast grassland. She headed straight back to the hotel.

On the way, Evelyn fell asleep on Jaydon’s shoulder. Karen and the others. were also sleeping soundly. It seemed that they had not slept well in the forest that night.

“Miss Thompson, why don’t I drive?” Jaydon saw that Alita had been. driving for more than an hour. She must be tired, so he wanted to take

over.

“Mr. Lewis, shut up.” Alita was expressionless.

Jaydon could not help but smile. “Miss Thompson, you seem to be very angry with me.”

“I’m glad that you know. Don’t provoke me.” Alita couldn’t be bothered to carry on pretending. Because of Jaydon, she still had to explain what had happened in the morning to her employees. She felt annoyed when she thought about what she wanted to hide being exposed.

Jaydon stopped talking and leaned back to take a nap.

At 9.30 am, they returned to the hotel.

Karen and the others got out of the car in a daze and returned to their rooms to sleep.
