My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1985

Miranda Attwood, who stood quietly next to Johan, inched a step forward.

She looked at Sierra and smiled with a hint of embarrassment. "Hi, Sierra. I'm Miranda. We'll be classmates and roommates from now on. I'm not a local here and I'm very eager to get to know this city but I'm not familiar with the area at all so I might have to trouble you to bring me around in the future."

"Hi Miranda, nice to meet you!" Perhaps because of Johan, Sierra was somewhat repulsive toward her.

Miranda was ever so warm to her, so Sierra could not ignore her but greeted her with niceties.

"We are all in the same course, so we'll definitely bump into each other a lot. Well, let's just get you two to your dorms now, yeah." Johan said as he and Maxtor carried the luggage so that they could get the two girls settled in.

Miranda followed closely behind him. "Johan, the bags are heavy. Let me carry some. Don't tire yourself out."

Maxtor said discontentedly, "It's not heavy at all.

Johan is a man, he'll be fine."

Miranda retorted in a soft voice, "I know better than you how heavy my luggage is. Besides, even if it's not heavy, can't I be concerned for Johan?"

Maxtor continued, "Care should come from the heart, not just a figure of speech."

Miranda was so angry at Maxtor's words that tears started welling up in her eyes.

Upon seeing that, Johan glared at Maxtor coldly. "Maxtor, no one will take you for a mute if you don't speak."

Maxtor had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently.

Sierra, who was a few steps behind them, took in what had just happened. Johan was always looking out for Miranda. He really seemed like a good man but it was too bad that he was taken.

Sierra looked away and took a deep breath quietly. She slowed down once again to distance herself from them.

"Some people just didn't belong to you, so you shouldn't bear any other thoughts about them," Sierra said to herself.

She shook her head, trying to dispel those inappropriate thoughts of hers.

However, before she could, she suddenly bumped into someone, and a pleasant scent wafted into her nostrils.

She looked up and saw that Johan, who was some distance ahead of her earlier, was standing in front of her like a tall mountain.

Sierra was so surprised that she didn't know what to say and looked at him blankly. He took the small bag from her and said, "Let me help you with this."

Not only was he good looking, he was fit, smart, and had such a nice voice too. He was attractive, and even more so right then when he was looking at her with such a gentle gaze.

Sierra's heart thumped wildly and it felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She had no control over her heartbeat at all.

D*mn it!

She had seen all kinds of men, but why was she so obsessed with him who she had just encountered?

"They're already way ahead of us. Let's go." Johan's voice sounded over Sierra's head once again. It was only then did she come to her senses and followed him with stiff steps.

Johan deliberately slowed down his pace and said, "Sierra, in fact, I've known you for a long time."

"What?" Sierra looked up at him. She didn't dare to believe what he had just said. "How do you know me?" she asked.

"I think it's rare for anyone in our school to not know you." Johan was one head taller than her and he was looking down at her with a faint smile on his face. He added, "I often hear people talk about you."

"Is that so?" It was as if Johan's gaze was an electric current, numbing Sierra all over. She hurriedly looked away and avoided his eyes.
