Lucia's eyes widened as she heard this and she stared at him in disbelief.’ ®

He wasn't going to leave. Was he planning to stay here with her? What a moocher! The somewhat

seemed to see through all her thoughts. A slight smile spread across his face as he asked, "Are you

afraid?" A long delay might cause trouble. Was she afraid something would happen between them?*

"There was only’

one bedroom, so you don't have a place to stay."

As August took a half step forward, he asked, word by word, "How is that possible?"

The last time he slept here, why wasn't there a place for him to stay this time?’

She took a step back in panic, keeping a distance between them and looking somewhat defensively

"There is only one bed, so if you really want to stay, you can sleep on the couch.”

Lucia said, lifting her chin and pointing at the couch.’

There was no way August would even sleep on the couch just to stay with her. Observing the

woman's resistance, August's cyes flashed with an unnoticeable reflection.’

He nodded slightly, swept a glance at the couch, and said softly, "Okay, then I'll sleep on the

August raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything. Previously, as he was too busy with the

company, he found it inconvenient to go back to the villa, so he bought this small knew every

Lucia had not yet recovered from the shock "August, how did you know this couch could be turned

As August's face remained bland as ever, he casually said, "Because you never pay attention to the

things’

around you."

Lucia's cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard his words."

What did he mean by that? He was saying that she was bareless, wasn't he?"

Gritting her teeth, Lucia was a little angry. As August took a back cushion from the side as his pillow,

she’

became even more angry and speechless.’

She really did not expect that August would be willing to sleep on the couch to stay with her.’

It seemed that even if she forced him to leave, he would never do so.’

Lucia realized August was on the couch without anything to keep him warm after tossing and

ten minutes. Even though he had a "bed" now, as well as a back cushion being used as a pillow, he

August didn't fall asleep on the couch either. He turned to look at her when he heard the sound.

The woman was holding a quilt in her arms and seemed a little reluctant. As she walked over, she

laid the quilt aside, turned around, and left without saying a word. A slight smile spread across

August's face as he lucked him into the quilt while gazing at her stubborn figure. Lucia went back to

her bedroom after the quilt was delivered. Slowly, she let go of the things that were’

August was already awake, and a few simple breakfast tems were already on the table. Sitting at the'®

dining table, he flipped the tablet casual, appearing to read some documents. Lucia took a deep breath, walked up, and asked, “Did you see the news?"
