The Heiress Strikes Back - Chapter 787

Chapter 787: Returning to the Harris Family

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was already late at night when she returned to the Harris family.

Walking under the orange street lamps in the villa’s courtyard, Sharon felt that it was unreal, a surreal feeling of returning from a dream to reality.

When Wallace saw her, he was first surprised, then he revealed an unconcealable expression of joy. “You’re back? I thought the show wouldn’t end for another week.”

“Yes, according to the plan, there was still a week left, but the director didn’t play by the rules and asked us to come back early.” Sharon naturally handed the few luggage in her hand to Wallace.

It was normal for a husband to help his wife carry her luggage, but in the past, she definitely wouldn’t have wanted to trouble Wallace, even if it was such a small matter. At that time, although they called each other husband and wife, they were too unfamiliar and distant.

After being married for so long, Sharon finally felt that Wallace was her husband.

Wallace carried Sharon’s luggage upstairs. Sharon followed behind him tiredly. Looking at his tall and thin figure under the bright lights, she actually had an inexplicable urge to cry.

These days in the wilderness were very fulfilling for her, but she would occasionally miss home.

After entering the room, Wallace put down his luggage and sat on the edge of the bed. He held Sharon’s hand and said with heartache, ‘You’ve lost weight.”

“Really?” Sharon was actually a little shy at this moment. She stood rooted to the ground and looked at Wallace. She held Wallace’s face with both hands and said, “You’ve lost weight too.”

While Sharon wasn’t around, Wallace had been busy with the company. He often forgot to eat and sleep when he worked. In addition, Sharon wasn’t at home, so he didn’t go home often to eat. When he was busy, he often forgot to eat, so he had lost a lot of weight recently.

Wallace chuckled and pulled Sharon closer to him. Sharon lost her balance and fell into Wallace’s arms, her mouth hitting the bridge of Wallace’s nose.

“Ah.” Sharon covered her nose in pain and cried out coquettishly. “Why is your nose so hard?”

She pouted and revealed a girlish look that she usually didn’t show. Wallace was amused by her expression and couldn’t help but kiss her forehead.

Sharon’s heart instantly raced. She could be calm on the stage and not change her expression in the face of doubt and ridicule, but this man could make her panic and her heart beat wildly with just a gentle kiss.

Looking at her after being kissed by him, Wallace also felt inexplicably

tempted. Every expression and action ot hers was just right to move his heart.

A hand pressed against her neck and Wallace kissed her lips.

Sensing that her breathing was starting to become chaotic, Wallace deepened the kiss.

Just as the fire was about to burn the prairie, Sharon’s stomach suddenly growled at an inappropriate time.

Wallace stopped what he was doing and smiled apologetically. “I was so excited that you came back so suddenly. I forgot to ask if you’ve eaten. Are you hungry?”

Sharon nodded obediently. Her cheeks were red, and her hair was a little messy. Wallace’s heart was in chaos again. He quickly turned his head away and coughed lightly. “I’ll go to the kitchen to heat something for you to eat.”

Sharon had only eaten a few fruit banyans and a roasted worm during the day. Geoffrey had caused her to not eat a single bite of fish at noon, and she was indeed starving now.

It was already midnight. When Wallace brought the food in, Sharon was so tired that she fell asleep. Wallace was hesitating if he should wake her up.

She suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little blurry, and her ignorant eyes were filled with “Who am I, where am I?”

Sharon was really too tired. She actually fell asleep after such a short while and even had a nightmare in a daze. First, she dreamed that the little bird she had picked up in the forest was dead. She also dreamed that someone was walking towards her with a knife, but she was trapped on the spot and couldn’t escape. Then, she saw that person walking towards her and getting closer and closer to her. She was suddenly frightened awake.

When she saw that the person in front of her was Wallace, she heaved a sigh of relief. She suddenly hugged Wallace’s shoulder and tightened her grip.

Wallace patted her back comfortingly and said softly, “Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yes.” Sharon leaned on his shoulder and nodded gently. “I dreamed that someone wanted to kill me.”

“I will protect you and never let anyone hurt you.” Even in her dreams, he would never allow anyone to hurt her..
