Vera stopped and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Did she hear it wrongly?
Prince Charming was actually asking her if she had woken up? Wasn't she dreaming? Why would Prince Charming ask her such a question?
Thinking of this, Vera blinked her eyes, but she still couldn't come back to her senses. Perhaps, she still had alcohol from the previous night in her system, thus she was confused.
Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Quill thought of what had happened the night before. He pursed his thin lips and closed the book with a snap.
With a bang, Vera sobered up quite a bit.
No, if it was a dream, how could it feel so vivid?
Besides, the look in Quill's eyes seemed to be a little cold.
What was going on?
Vera bit her lower lip and got up from the ground. She felt a little embarrassed when she got up. The night before, she fell asleep in her gown. At this time, when she got up, the strap fell, revealing her snow- white collarbone. Even the material on the front became a little loose, which made her skin below faintly visible.
Quill's face sank slightly and he looked away in time.
After standing up, Vera still felt dizzy. She held her temples and muttered to herself.
"Why do I feel... that my head is so heavy?"
"Where is this place? This is not my room..."
"Am I not dreaming?"
After talking to herself for a while, Quill suddenly scolded her in a cold tone, "Adjust your gown."
"Wear it properly."
Hearing this, Vera lowered her head subconsciously, only to find that her dress was in a miserable state now. Her face changed dramatically and she quickly reached out to pull up the strap. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
It was not a dream, was it? Otherwise, why would my Prince Charming be so aloof?
Thinking of this, Vera placed her fingers on her arm and pinched herself hard.
She did not expect that it would hurt so much, thus she cried out.
"Ouch!"
It was indeed not a dream!
If so, with her gown in such a state, had Quill seen her exposed skin? Oh no, would Quill think that she was doing it on purpose?
Thinking of this, Vera's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip.
At this time, Quill had already come up to her.
She raised her head and looked at Quill with a slightly embarrassed look. Her feet, which were stepping on the cold floor, subconsciously retreated a few steps. "I'm sorry... Mr. Hanover, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean to..."
Quill's eyes darkened and he glared at her.
"You didn't mean it?"
Vera was taken aback. After a long time, she finally said, "I have no intentions in seducing you."
Quill did not speak, but stared at her with his pair of dark eyes. There was no emotion in his eyes, which was a little scary. Vera did not have the courage to face him, thus she could only bow her head.
However, just as she lowered her head, her chin was suddenly pinched by a pair of hands.
The next second, she was forced to raise her head.
Vera opened her eyes wide and she looked at Quill in front of her in disbelief.
Her heart began to beat wildly.
"Calm down. I have to be calm," she reminded herself.
Quill leaned forward slightly and Vera's eyes widened in an instant. What was going on?
Did Quill fall in love with her after being with her for one night? Was he going to kiss her?
