This situation was becoming increasingly unbearable, and he knew he needed to find a way to retricate

himself from it as soon as possible.

Gavin carefully attempted to withdraw his hand from Londa a grasp, antiots about the consequences of

illowing things to progress any further.

However, his efforts were interrupted when Layla suddenly shivered, indicating that she was beginning

to wake up.

In a quick decision, Gavin closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, hoping to avoid any

embarrassing moments when Layla eventually fully awoke.

Unbeknownst to Gavin. Layla had awakened earlier than he had realized.

Layla had been the first to notice her position nestled in Gavin’s arms, experiencing the warmth and

comfort it provided

The warmth surrounding her was inviting, and she was strongly urged to stay there

Even though Layla had awakened at that moment, she was surprised to see Gavin lying beside her

Her astonishment quickly gave way to the realization that Gavin had been sleeping beside her all night.

never leaving her side.

This realization caused Layla’s face to turn red like a ripe apple.

Even though Gavin remained asleep. Layla couldn’t summon the courage to meet his gate

As Layla was about to shift her arm, a sudden sensation washed over her, akin to stumbling upon a

Judden treasure.

Her curiosity got the better of her. After all, she was entirely in the dark about it.

Driven by her curiosity, Layla’s hand moved forward, but poor Gavin was in for a surprise he hadis i

After an uncertain amount of time had passed. Layla suddenly froze

The very next moment, her entire being was struck with shock.

Because, well it appeared that

She perked her hand back as if she were a startled deer.

Just as Layla was about to retract her hand, Gavin firmly seized hold of Layla’s delicate hand Layla

was caught off guard. Was Gavin already awake?

She didn’t immediately lift her head. Instead, she kept her eyes tightly shut, her heart hammering away

in her chest. She silently thought, “What on earth am I doing? It was as if I was behaving like a female

rascal. It was one thing not to get caught, but now I was most definitely caught… How could Gavin

posubly be thinking of me? Oh my goodness, this is it. It’s all over now! From this point on, I was

convinced that, in Gavin’s eyes, I had taken a turn for the worse. How did things end up like this… I

hadn’t experienced any strange dreams or anything of the sort.

At that moment, Layla sensed that Gavin hadn’t made a move. She cautiously attempted to open her

eyes. and was met with Gavin’s intense gaze, causing her cheeks to flush an even deeper shade of

red.

Gavin found Layla’s bashful expression irresistibly charming and leaned in for a passionate kiss on her

cherry-red lips.

Initially. Layla had been resting her arm on Gavin, but she soon leaned into his advances willingly.

While Gavin continued to kiss Layla, he began undoing the small buttons on her blouse. Things were

heating up fast, and it seemed they were on the brink of an intense moment.

Suddenly, a voice from outside the door shattered the intimate atmosphere. It was Zoe. “Layla, are you

awake? Shall we head to the office together today?”

In an instant, Layla and Gavin lost in their private world, snapped back to reality.

It was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had extinguished the passionate flames that had ignited between

them.

Disheveled and hastily dressed, both of them leaped to their feet instantly.

After a quick, furtive exchange of glances, Gavin scratched his head and said, “Do you have a hiding

spot here? I’ll slip away until the rest of you have gone.”

Layla’s eyes wandered around the bedroom in embarrassment. The closet had been custom-made to

he height, making it impossible for Gavin to hide inside.

There weren’t any other suitable hiding spots except under the bed, but asking Gavin to hide there wou

be somewhat absurd.

Layla blushed and mumbled softly to Gavin, “Gavin, it might have to be under the bed… I’m sorry to put

you through this.”

Gavin glanced under the bed, never expecting a day when he had to hide beneath it sneakily.

But he had no any other choice at the moment.

Zoe was indeed his sister. She dared to ruin his good moments!

Gavin smiled gently at Layla and assured her, “Go ahead, Layla. I’ll be fine.”

“You and Zoe can wait for me at the entrance of the Clifford Villa, and we’ll leave together.”

Layla blushed even more profoundly, offering Gavin a shy smile before hurrying out of the room.

Gavin could faintly overhear Layla and Zoe’s conversation outside the door. “Layla, have you been

awake all this time? What have you been up to? Come on, spill the beans! Is there a man in there?”

Zoe’s teasing words startled Layla as if she knew exactly what had transpired!

Layla lowered her head, feeling too embarrassed to meet Zoe’s eyes, and denied it, “What nonsense

are you talking about! This is the Clifford Villa, after all. Wouldn’t that be too audacious?”

Zoe looked at Layla, who seemed flustered and then laughed. “Alright, Layla, I was just joking!”

“Don’t get so worked up. It’s like you’re taking it seriously!

“Hahaha!”

As Zoe’s laughter faded, Layla watched her mischievously vanish into the distance and called out

loudly, “Zoe! Stop right there!”

Once Layla and Zoe were at a distance, Gavin suddenly had an epiphany.

This left Layla giving Gavin a playful, reproachful look

What was going on with Gavin?

He was the one who was supposed to be avoiding suspicion earlier, but now he was openly serving her

and taking care of her

Was he trying to get caught or not?

Later. Layla, Zoe, and Gavin headed together to the company’s storefront.

When they arrived, they found Noah still kneeling at the entrance, his face turned pale.

Even though he was a warrior, kneeling for such a long time had taken its toll.

His entire body swayed unsteadily, but when he caught sight of Gavin’s figure, he immediately stood

upright.
