In the afternoon, my brain almost stopped working.
Patrick asked me to get water, and I stood there pouring water for him with the teapot in my hand. Then my mind went blank.
It wasn't until the water flowed down the table and scalded my feet that I realized what I was doing.
"I'm sorry!"
I put the teapot aside and looked at Patrick.
He looked at me, and his black eyes were cold. He didn't intend to blame me for pouring out the water, and there was no expression on his face.
He just looked at me.
But I was scared by his stares.
I took out the paper from the bathroom and apologized while wiping. "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be more careful."
After cleaning the table, I went to get a mop to wipe the floor again.
The mob was in the tools room downstairs, so I ran over to get it. After finishing the work, Patrick said, "You can go down and prepare dinner first."
"Yes, my lord."
I left after I answered.
When I arrived at the kitchen, I looked at the watch. It was still early, so I curled up in the corner of the kitchen and wanted to take a break.
However, just as I was curling up there, my eyelids became so heavy that they couldn't be lifted up.
I was afraid that I would sleep too long, so I quickly took out my cell phone and booked an alarm thirty minutes later.
Then, I went to sleep.
I didn't know how long I had slept. I was just in a daze and felt that my body was softening. I heard someone sigh softly in my ear.
I'm so sleepy.
I didn't care about these things at all. I just hoped to sleep a little longer, and longer.
When I woke up again, It was at dawn.
Looking at the soft bed below me, I thought for a long time before I realized that I should have cooked dinner for Patrick!
But I fell asleep!
I saw the phone beside me and turned it on-
It was already the next morning!
I was afraid that Patrick would blame me and wanted to drive me away. I was so scared that I rushed upstairs immediately!
The door of Patrick's bedroom was half-closed. I nuzzled the door open and saw him lying quietly on the bed.
I walked to the side and saw that he was still wearing the clothes yesterday. He couldn't change clothes on his own because I fell asleep.
For a moment, I felt a little guilty.
When I saw that the quilt only covered him with one corner, I helped him cover the quilt. I turned around and was about to leave when a strong arm suddenly wrapped around my back and pulled me directly to the bed.
Then I heard the man behind me say, "Don't go."
I felt my heart was racing. I thought he had woken up.
However, I turned back and saw that his eyes were still closed.
He hugged me so tightly, and I could hear his breath came out of his nose.
I lay there in a very uncomfortable position and didn't dare to move.
He just hugged me.
After a few seconds, I heard the man mumbling in my ear again, "Go stand, don't sleep."
He even thought about this in a dream?
But soon, I heard a very light sigh again. This sigh was a little helpless, and my heart was distressed.
The man held me tighter. I heard him say in a very soft voice, "Can't you throw a tantrum to me?"
Throw a tantrum?
My heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
That what he was thinking?
But after a while, he turned over and finally let go of me.
