But he shouldn't have.

Maria seemed preoccupied entirely with her inner thoughts. After she finally came to her senses, she saw that Anthony had already gone to bed.

Maria was rendered speechless.

His speed was incredible.

She changed into a nightgown and slid to the edge of the bed, huddling for warmth.

There was at least a one-foot gap between them.

But she could still sense the heat emanating from Anthony's body. Maria felt she was burying her head in the sand because she was trying to maintain such a “polite” distance under such a circumstance.

She felt that her actions were foolish.

The next thing Anthony said confirmed her thoughts.

"The truth is, even when you're sound asleep, you're always clinging to me, like a koala."

Maria blushed after hearing his words.

It was evident that he was talking out of the experience.

"Well..."

Maria shuffled toward Anthony Like a backward earthworm, her words lacking confidence.

At last!

She felt herself touching Anthony's body after slowly wriggling for close to one minute.

Her back touched Anthony's chest, which was flat, broad, and strong.

“What if I have just Lied to you?"

What?

Had he lied to her?

Maria turned around, staring at him in shock.

In the eyes of outsiders, Maria appeared to be an expressionless beauty.

But the depth of emotion in her eyes at this particular moment was striking.

Anthony felt like a horrible criminal who should be incarcerated without delay.
