Leopold couldn't help but chuckle, playfully tapping her forehead as a gentle reprimand.
"Bedtime."
"Oh." She quickly pulled the duvet up to her chin, neatly bundling herself up.
Leopold walked out, taking with him a copy of 'Expecting Parents: Sex Guide.'
She was silently terrified, goodness gracious, he wasn't going to study it meticulously, was he?
Wouldn't that mean he'd use her as a guinea pig?
Instinctively, she squeezed her legs together, determined to hold the line at all costs, he must not break through!
Leopold didn't stay the night, claiming that he would get too hot and wouldn't sleep well.
Only when she heard the door close did she relax and peacefully drift off to sleep.

Evelyn's designs were an amalgamation of vintage charm and aesthetic beauty, which was her consistent style, earning her the title of 'Aesthete Goddess' in the design world.
When her initial drafts were out, they left everyone in awe. She was bound to win, no doubt about it!
Evelyn's face was flushed with an air of triumph, as if she was already the victor. For Aurelia, a novice designer, to dare compete with her was simply foolhardy.
Aurelia remained calm. Evelyn's designs were indeed stunning, but hers weren't any less.
She called her team into the conference room for a meeting.
Once everyone's drafts were completed, Aurelia discussed opinions with them and made some tweaks to the finer details.
Darcy had the latest scoop that Evelyn's team had roped in the most popular rising star Ian, to shoot an ad campaign with Astral Enterprises' new spokesperson, Amelia.
This would not only give them a promotional edge but also left Aurelia's team without a spokesperson.
