After that, Jayson didn't call again. Sidney later tried to ask him if he was coming home for dinner, but he didn't answer. Eventually, she called the external contact phone of his bodyguard, and it was through the bodyguard that she learned Jayson wasn't coming back for dinner tonight.
Sidney wasn't sure if he was still upset or if he was really busy. She thought it was strange that Jayson was still angry after such a long time.
That night, without him, she slept with the light on, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, lost in thought. Suddenly, she remembered that tomorrow was the grand opening ceremony of the resort. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She heard some noise outside and thought it was the neighbor not sleeping. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened, and she jumped up from the bed, staring at the door in surprise!
Jayson entered with a light sheen of sweat on his forehead, his front hair slightly damp. As soon as he came in, he saw Sidney jump up like a startled bird. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
They stared at each other for a few seconds, before Jayson stepped forward, walking to the edge of the bed and leaning down to look at her.
"Not sleeping yet?"
"…"
Jayson adjusted the covers for her and said gently, "Get some rest."
Sidney continued to watch him. He took off his clothes, went into the bathroom to shower, and then came out, drying his wet hair before lying down next to her. She closed her eyes, wanting to ask him about what happened during the day, but she didn't dare, fearing it would disrupt the peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, his hand reached out and firmly took hers. He moved closer to her, kissing her delicate earlobe.
Sidney trembled, opening her eyes to see him, his face as handsome as jade, smiling gently at her. He didn't need to say anything. Sidney knew everything was fine. She moved closer to him, burying her face in his chest, inhaling his scent. She thought to herself, even if this man truly was capable of terrible things, she would accept him.
Leaning on him, she was finally able to escape from some worries and get a good sleep. She slept peacefully through the night, only waking up when the sun was already high in the sky. As she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see him still there. Startled, she sat up and glanced at the clock, then shook him awake. But as she did, she realized he'd been awake for a while, eyes closed, as if he'd been pretending to sleep.
"It's late!"
"It's fine, I'm not going to the office today," he said, closing his eyes again.
Sidney remembered today was an important day, so she hurried to get up and prepare.
He pulled her back, "Lie down with me a little longer."
"Isn't the grand opening today?"
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."
Sidney let him hold her.
"We should have a child."
"...?" Sidney didn't understand why he suddenly brought it up.
"That way, you won't be constantly overthinking and doubting me."
"...Why did you suddenly come back last night?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I came back to be with you, didn't want you to be up all night alone."
"Okay..."
"Don't doubt me so easily in the future. If something's bothering you, just say it." He buried his head in her neck, speaking in a muffled voice.
"Mm... So what happened with that guy the other day?"
"It's nothing, he just violated the principles of business integrity. They gave him a little lesson."
"Who's 'they'?"
"Just some friends I usually hang out with."
"Can you not make such violent friends?"
Jayson laughed, his breath tickling her neck.
"Some things are out of my control."
"…You men always use that excuse to brush things off!"
"Which man has ever used that excuse to brush you off?"
"…"
"Come on, tell me!" Jayson held his position, pressuring her.
"No one..."
"I obviously know how to protect myself. I've seen more in business than you can imagine. You don't need to worry about me, okay?"
Sidney mumbled in her mind, "Typical man!" But she answered, "Got it."
Jayson smiled contentedly and gently ruffled her hair.
"He didn't want to admit that he came back in the middle of the night simply because he couldn't stand being apart from her. He hated the thought of her being alone, worrying herself sick."
But when he saw the terrified look in her eyes as she looked at him, all the anger he had felt just vanished, as if it had never existed.
