The fact that she was still alive put Aren at ease. He quietly looked at Jocelyn’s sleeping face for a while and finally picked up his phone. After sending a message to tell Luke to not come back so soon, he turned his phone into a vibration mode and placed it aside. He then crawled to the other side of the bed.
Strangely, lying in bed with a woman he kind of liked, the first thought that came to Aren’s mind was not to possess her, but to protect her.
Just lying beside Jocelyn and smelling her made Aren feel satisfied. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed such happiness, and it was as if time had returned to his teenage years.
Aren reached out to hold Jocelyn’s hand. Looking at their interlaced fingers, Aren smiled and closed his eyes too.
Aren’s work had always been intense. Last night, he only slept for four hours before getting up to deal with the company’s matters. Halfway through his work, he ran out to find Jocelyn.
He was busy until now before he finally had time to relax and let go of stress. At this moment, he was overwhelmed by exhaustion and sleepiness. After closing his eyes for a few seconds, he fell asleep.
Jocelyn, who was deep in her sleep, squirmed and moved towards Aren. Having sensed some movements, Aren held Jocelyn on instinct and pulled her into his arms.
A breeze blew in through the window, making Jocelyn smile in her sleep with satisfaction.
In the Wilson mansion, Maria and Mrs. Wilson were sitting on the sofa in the living room with a straight face. Maria looked at Bard, who was standing silently at the side, and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
If not for the fact that she wanted to get some information about her father from him, she would not have allowed a small assistant to step in her house.
In the blink of an eye, Maria had already thought of how to punish Bard for his arrogance after getting what she wanted.
“Bard, you don’t have to keep it secret from us for my father. You must know that my father loves my mother the most. Even if he has a mistress, it’s just a fling. He will eventually return to the family.”
“Choose your side, or you’ll regret it when my father returns to the family.”
“You’re a very smart person, aren’t you?”
With her head held high, Maria talked to Bard in a condescending and threatening manner.
Looking at Maria’s haughty expression, Bard felt sick of her.
At this moment, he actually missed the invisible Miss Jocelyn in this family. At least, when Miss Jocelyn was with him, she would never act superior.
Unfortunately, Miss Jocelyn was not liked by Mr. Wilson and was chased out of the Wilson family by the mother and daughter. She was now homeless.
Bard thought about Jocelyn for a moment, then he turned his attention to Maria and Mrs. Wilson. He raised his eyebrows in resignation.
“Although I don’t know why Madam and Miss think that Master has a mistress, from what I know, there are no other women around him.”
“Impossible!”
Before Bard could finish, Maria interrupted him. Maria stood up from the sofa and quickly walked up to him.
“If my father didn’t have another mistress there, why didn’t he pay my mother for her living expenses?” Maria questioned Bard angrily.
Mrs. Wilson did not expect Maria to reveal this to outsiders. Although she knew that Bard, as the assistant, would sooner or later find out about it, Mrs. Wilson still couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment. She looked like she was walking naked in the busiest mall. Mrs. Wilson did not even dare to look up at the expression on Bard’s face.
“Maria!”
In order to get Maria to stop giving out more family secrets, Mrs. Wilson had to raise her voice to stop her.
“I will take care of this, Maria. Now please go back to your room.”
Maria stomped her feet in indignation and directed the anger at her mother..
