After that, he picked up the quilt and blanket from one side. Instead of returning to the living room, he spread the blanket on the floor and lay down beside the bed.
The room was small and just for two people. Even though the heater did not work properly, it was still much better than sleeping in the living room.
There was only the faint breathing sound of the two of them in the room.
Summer woke up in the middle of the night to answer nature's call. Pregnancy made her not only lethargic but also prone to frequent urination.
Sitting up in bed, she could barely make out a person lying on the floor under the faint moonlight. She frowned, turned on the table lamp, and she finally saw it clearly.
The man was sleeping on the floor with his handsome face resting on his arm. He was casual, lazy, and looked entirely different under the moonlight.
Perhaps, outside the apartment, after he ignored Paine, grabbed her by the wrist, and took her away; or perhaps, when she asked him if he had the right to know his freedom, and he agreed to it, her heart had softened slightly.
A woman in love seems to be like this; even if the other party only provides a little warmth, she will seize it and ingrain it in her heart.
She had told the landlady in the afternoon about the heating issue, but things had not improved at all.
It was not obvious when lying in the quilt, but once she stepped out, the chill bit her skin.
Quietly, Summer took out a quilt from the cabinet on the side and put it on him. Only then she went into the bathroom.
After returning, she could not fall back asleep. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the body on the floor with concerns. She tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
She said nothing in the end. It was not after a long time later did she finally fall asleep again.
The next morning, Mark woke up first. When his deep and slightly sleepy eyes saw the quilt on his body, his thin lips curled upwards and he was in a good mood again.
