Vera was taken aback by a split second. Before she could react, Ko by had already thrown itself into her arms. She was stunned for a few seconds and then hugged Ko by tightly for fear that it would fall.
Ko by turned around and rubbed itself against her arm, then gently nestled in her arms.
It was so cute and adorkable.
Vera was elated. She held the ragdoll and got up, looking at Quill in embarrassment.
"It can stay with you tonight if you'd like."
"Is that okay?" Vera asked with uncertainty. Actually, she wanted to ask if she really had to sleep here.
"Yeah." Quill walked forward. "It's getting late. I'll take you back to your room. You should rest early."
Vera held Ko by and followed behind him as they entered the room together. Quill took her to the bedroom and said, "You can sleep here tonight. I am just next door. If you need anything, you can call my phone or call me directly."
He really made her stay here.
Vera held Ko by, nodded at a loss, and whispered a
hum.
"Then I'll be going."
Before leaving, Quill stopped and looked at her. Vera suddenly became nervous. "What's wrong?"
"Don't think too much. I will... solve the matter. Have a good rest," Quill said.
After that, he couldn't help but put his hand on Vera's head and gently rubbed it.
Vera was astonished.
It was not until she heard the sound of the door closing that she came back to her senses. Just now... Quill had actually rubbed her head? And she was stunned on the spot and forgot to react.
"Meow!" Suddenly, Ko by struggled in her arms. Vera lowered her head and asked, "What is it, Ko by?"
"Meow!" Ko by jumped out of her arms, onto the bed, slipped into the quilt, and laid down. Then it looked at Vera as if it was inviting her to bed.
Vera did not react.
She felt as if the cat was behaving like a human.
After thinking for a while, Vera also got into bed. Ko by quickly moved to her side and meowed once. Vera took the opportunity to touch its head for a while and lay down.
Too many things had happened that night.
However, the most unforgettable thing for her was Quill's kiss. It happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. Vera had no idea how she managed to interact with him after that.
She reached out her hand and touched her lips gently with her fingertips. Her heart was burning with heat.
Why... Why did he kiss her?
Was it what she was thinking? Vera closed her eyes and didn't dare to think further. She was afraid that she might think too much and end up disappointed again.
She petted Koby's head and went closer to it to ask in a low voice.
"Koby, why do you think... he did that all of a sudden?"
"Meow?" Ko by turned its head and stared at her with its beady eyes.
"Alas, you're just a cat. What would you know? Let's sleep." Vera tucked the two of them in and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.
She had thought that once she closed her eyes, she would see the images of Sheridan trying to humiliate her. However, who would've thought all she saw was Quill.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his lips...
Vera shook her head, trying to shake Quill's face off her mind. Then she turned over and went back to sleep.
But even so, Quill still kept her mind occupied.
