Chapter 1784

She was thrown into John’s arms with her body pressed up close against his.

Her face turned beet red immediately. She quickly pushed herself off the bed.

Before she was aware of what was happening, she felt a palm pressing down on the back of her head.

She only managed to push herself off John for a second, barely enough to gasp for air, before she was pressed toward him

again. Their lips pressed closely against each other’s and sealed together in a fervent

kiss.

He kissed her for several seconds before letting go of her head.

Just when thought she could wring herself free at last, she noticed that John had held her hands tightly behind her back.

She flopped helplessly on top of him. In an instant, something vicious flared in her eyes as she shouted, ” You b*stard, get your

stinky hands off me!”

“This bed is big enough for both of us, you can sleep with me tonight,” John said devilishly.

Sherry rolled her eyes and shot down his advances without a second thought. “You’d wish.”

She promised to forgive him, but she never said a word about getting intimate with him again!

John squinted, his expression began to darken. “I only asked you to sleep here because I’m worried that you’d be uncomfortable

He playfully tapped Sherry on the forehead and teased her. “What, did you have something special in mind?”

Sherry was speechless.

Her cheeks were flushed red.

In a fit of embarrassment, she angrily thumped John on his shoulder. “I won’t sleep with you, let go!” Amid her outburst, she

noticed that John winced for a split second. It looked like he was holding his back. She immediately came to her senses, and her

demeanor shifted instantly. “What’s wrong? Did | hurt you?” John made a look and assured her. “It’s okay, it didn’t hurt much.”

Had she accidentally irritated his wounds? She grew anxious. “Let me go so | can call the doctor to take a look at you.”

“It's okay, you don’t need to get the doctor,” John said rather stoutly, “Besides, there’s no point calling the doctor, it’s not like they

can make the pain stop. I'll get better in a few more days, don’t worry about it.”

Sherry was shocked to hear this. “Does your wound hurt all the time?”

“Yeah, but now that you’re by my side, | feel a lot better,” he said coyly.

She shot a look at him.

Without his glasses, the crook of his eyes seemed more pronounced than usual.

He seemed to carry himself with an air of solemnity. It was different from his usual snarky attitude that always seemed like he

was up to no good.

Sherry stared at him for a while but could not detect any trace of any other emotion in his eyes.

It did not seem like he was lying.

“I'll sit with you for a while and rest after you fall asleep,” she suddenly announced.

“Why don’t you sleep with me?” he looked at her tenderly and spoke softly, “I don’t feel as much pain. when you’re with me.

Sherry suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. It felt as if his words carried an effect like witchcraft, she found herself blurting out

without realizing it, “Sure.”

John grinned widely and asked, “Do you want to sleep on the outside or inside?”

Sherry gave him a short look. “Outside.”

With that, John released her at last. He sat up and nudged himself into the inner edge of the bed to make room, making sure to

give her plenty of space.

“Come.” He motioned.

Sherry made a look. “Let me get a blanket.”

There was only a single blanket on the bed that John was already using.
