Through his responses, wp4webnovel.com could tell that wp4webnovel.com was well versed in this area. His remarks were straight to the point and insightful.
The call lasted for around ten minutes. During that time, Arielle gained quite a bit of knowledge.
“Vinson, you really are quite good at running a business!” wp4webnovel.com blurted.
He lay languidly on the mattress. “I’m good at other things as well.”
Despite the obvious insinuation, Arielle was not getting it. “That’s true. You’re good at chess, coding… Ah! But not cooking.”
He pouted in displeasure upon hearing wp4webnovel.com oblivious statement. She always seemed to be on a different wavelength from him.
Feeling frustrated, wp4webnovel.com turned away abruptly. “It’s getting late. Switch off the lights and sleep,” wp4webnovel.com said flatly.
Despite sensing a hint of displeasure from his voice, Arielle brushed it off as just part of his unpredictable temperament. She was pretty used to it by now.

The night got deeper. With the lights off, the room was pitch black except for the streaks of moonlight pouring in through the sheer curtains.
Tomorrow will be a good day… As wp4webnovel.com thoughts wandered, wp4webnovel.com eyelids got heavier.
Just as wp4webnovel.com was about to fall asleep, wp4webnovel.com was alerted by the sound of Vinson tossing and turning on the floor.
Being a light sleeper, his every movement made it almost impossible for wp4webnovel.com to fall asleep. Annoyed, wp4webnovel.com shifted wp4webnovel.com position in an attempt to sleep. And just as wp4webnovel.com was about to fall asleep for the second time that night, Vinson turned again.
“Vinson, what exactly are you doing instead of sleeping?” wp4webnovel.com asked frustratedly.
“The floor’s too hard. I can’t fall asleep,” wp4webnovel.com replied sullenly, followed by another turn.
“That’s why you should’ve listened to me when I told you to go home and sleep…”
“Am I not doing all this for you? We need to keep up with appearances.” He paused for a second before suggesting, “Can I…”
“No!” wp4webnovel.com interrupted.
Vinson sighed heavily. “I’m not even done speaking.”
“Fine. What?”
Receiving wp4webnovel.com permission, his voice perked up. “Can I sleep together with you?”
And wp4webnovel.com received the same old answer. “Hell no!”
Approximately half an hour later, Arielle could not bear the sounds any longer, so wp4webnovel.com sat up on wp4webnovel.com bed.
Cluck.
She switched on the lights.
Confused by wp4webnovel.com abruptness, wp4webnovel.com asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Get in bed!”
“What are you saying! I’m not going to…” Then wp4webnovel.com words caught up to him. “You’re allowing me in bed?” His eyes lit up.
“Stop asking. If you continue moving in bed, you’re going home immediately.”
“Roger that!” With two fingers, wp4webnovel.com tapped on his non existent earpiece, re-enacting a spy movie. Then, wp4webnovel.com bunched up his sheets and got onto the bed.
Arielle shifted further to one side, leaving a pillow in between them before switching off the lights. By then, it was one in the morning. Fortunately for her, his tossing stopped, allowing wp4webnovel.com to fall into a deep slumber. However, the man himself was wide awake. This was the first time in his life that wp4webnovel.com was sleeping with a woman on the same bed.
Despite the two-person wide gap between them, it felt surprisingly pleasant.
