Mila stood awkwardly in place. She remained silent for a long time.
She remembered the harsh words she had said to Nathan before. She told him not to see her
again and not to have any involvement with her.
And now, she shamelessly stayed close to him, even though it was for his safety. But would Nathan really believe her? Would he think she was crazy?
“Is there anything else?” Nathan asked.

At 1:00 am, Nathan finally came out from the study.
He walked into the living room. Suddenly, he stopped. He glanced at the woman who was sleeping on the sofa.
He slowly walked over and crouched down in front of her. His heart weighed down with sorrow when he gazed at Mila’s fair and delicate face.
“Chubs,” Nathan called her softly.
Mila didn’t react.
Nathan touched her face, but his hand froze for a moment as soon as his fingers touched her skin.

“Oh.” Mila awkwardly fiddled with her long hair. “Are you done with your work? Are you going back to rest?” Mila asked.

Mila stood up and said, “I was guarding you.”
“Guarding me?” Nathan frowned as he asked. He was puzzled.
Mila shot him an awkward smile. She said, “I was afraid that someone might use the excuse of delivering supper and send you food, so I stayed here.”
