"Yes, it's just a dream. Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jayden patted her on the back and comforted her in a gentle voice.
With him by her side, and his warm chest to lean on to, Silvia gradually calmed down. She leaned against his chest and asked, "Jayden, do you know what I just dreamt about just now?"
Jayden lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Tell me."
Silvia rubbed her head against his chest and said slowly, "I dreamt about Norman..."
Jayden interrupted her. "Norman is in prison now. He will not get out for the rest of his life. If you're going to dream about him, you might as well dream about me, right?"
Silvia looked up and blinked her beautiful watery eyes at him. "I dreamed about you too."
Jayden picked up her soft and long hair and smelled it. "What was it about?"
"At first, it was only Norman. He was pointing a gun at my head, but in the blink of an eye, he became you..." Even if it was just a dream, Silvia could not help but get scared as she narrated her dream. She instinctively leaned into his arms once again.
Jayden embraced her and said, "That's just a dream. I will never point a gun at your head, ever!"
Silvia continued, "You even told me that you were the mastermind behind everything... and you even pulled the trigger at me right after that."
Upon hearing Silvia's words, Jayden's body froze and there was a gleam in his eyes. However, he quickly concealed the surprise look in his eyes and fell silent while tightening his arms around Silvia.
Silvia took a deep breath and said, "Of course, it's just a nightmare. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to bring Norman to justice. It's impossible that you'd collude with him."
"Yeah, it's just a dream!" Jayden did not want to linger over this topic anymore, so he patted her and said, "Okay, you should go back to sleep now. I'll be here with you."
"Okay, I'll sleep now." Silvia wanted to roll over to the other side, but as soon as she moved, Jayden immediately held her tightly in his arms.
However, Silvia did not struggle. She knew that she would not have anymore nightmares sleeping in his arms, and Jayden was also willing to hold her, so there's no reason for her to struggle.
Leaning against Jayden's firm and warm chest and listening to his steady heartbeat, Silvia felt extremely at ease and soon fell into a deep slumber once again.
Jayden held Silvia, who was sleeping soundly like a baby in his arms. He gently patted her back. "Silly girl, why do you always refuse to come to me whenever you need me?"
Silvia suddenly muttered, "Jayden..."
Jayden quickly lowered his head and said, "Mm?"
Silvia licked her lips and said, "You can't..."
"What? Silvia, what do you want to tell me?" Jayden got closer to her and wanted to listen to what she wanted to say. However, Silvia shut her lips and did not say a word anymore.
What exactly did she want to tell him?
