Chapter 1646: The Midnight Phone Call

"No... don't!"

Monica felt her body burning hot, as if she was about to explode. Her heart seemed to leap out of her chest as she quickly pushed him away.

"What's wrong?" Tristan asked in a gentle voice, a bit puzzled. He supported himself with both hands on her sides, his entire body suspended in the air. Staring at her at such close proximity, he said, "I just wanted to kiss you, nothing too offensive."

"We..." With such a close distance, male hormones enveloped her, and Monica met his gaze, her heartbeat becoming more and more erratic.

"I... I'll go to the next room," she said, trying to get up, hoping he would make way for her.

But Tristan remained unmoved, staring at her, his arms on both sides of her, trapping her beneath him.

"Sleep here tonight, I promise I won't touch you," he said in a gentle voice, his gaze sincere, extending an invitation to her.

In fact, Monica was somewhat looking forward to it, but also a bit nervous and uneasy.

After a long, long time... her mood gradually calmed down a bit. "Hmm," she nodded gently.

Tristan's lips curled slightly, pulling her up and helping her lift the blanket, his gaze fixed on her face.

In an instant, her cheeks turned even redder.

Tonight... are they going to sleep together?

This was a scenario she had imagined countless times before. Monica didn't know why, but whenever she was with him, she couldn't restrain the feeling of her heart pounding. Haven't they already been together? Why is she still acting so infatuated?!

She quickly turned and got on the bed, quickly burying herself under the covers, even hiding her head.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

Tristan found her adorable, and he couldn't help but smile again.

He lay down beside her, reached out to turn off the light, gently pulled the blanket over their bodies, and then turned to the side, lightly embracing her.

She didn't resist, lying still as if she was asleep.

"Are you sure you want to spend the night under the covers?" After a while, Tristan asked softly.

"Yes," she remained motionless, but her heart blossomed with joy. Pressed against his chest, she could feel his warmth and the strong, powerful heartbeat. Before long, Tristan also tucked his head under the covers, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder. "Then I'll accompany you."

The two of them closed their eyes in happiness...

The night was quiet in Emerald Bay.

Ivan and Jennifer had just come out of the bathroom, drying their hair and getting ready for bed when Ivan's phone suddenly rang.

Who could it be so late?

Both husband and wife were suspicious because it was New Year's Day, and they hadn't received any calls on their phones all day.

Ivan sat on the bed and reached out to pick up the lit screen of his phone. It was an unfamiliar number, but he didn't have any bad premonitions.

Because in his eyes, nothing was a big deal.

Their child was healthy and safely asleep next door, and his beloved wife was by his side. Even if the company went bankrupt, in such a beautiful moment, he wouldn't furrow his brows. The ringing continued...

"Answer it quickly," Jennifer urged him, "It's so late, it must be something urgent."

His long fingers slid across the answer button, and he turned on the speakerphone.

"Ivan." On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged woman's anxious voice came through. "Miss Catherine just gave birth to a child at the hospital. It was a cesarean section, and her body is very weak. It can be said that she was saved from the brink of death. She's crying and shouting that she wants to see you. Her tears are almost dry."

"Why does she want to see me?" Ivan narrowed his dark, angry eyes and replied coldly, "The police will go see her."

"She knows, she knows!" The other person was afraid that Ivan would hang up directly, so they quickly continued, "Ivan! She doesn't want to send the child to an orphanage! Please show mercy! She's emotionally shattered right now. She said... she would rather die than not see you, or her soul won't rest in peace."
