Chapter 264 Never Enough Sleep

Emelie chose to let it go. It was winter, so it was not easy to sweat. Not changing clothes for two days wasn't a big deal.

However, she quickly thought of a solution and contacted a sales assistant from a brand store she frequented. She asked the sales assistant to pick out a couple of outfits and offered to pay extra for express delivery to Lakeside Villa.

However, it was already late, and the sales assistant had gone home. She apologized and promised to arrange it first thing in the morning. Emelle thanked her.

They arrived at midnight. Charles came out to greet them personally.

When he saw Emelie, his interest was piqued. "Mr. Middleton brought Ms. Hoven too? That's great. The more, the merrier. We're all awake and playing poker upstairs. Do you want to join us?

william nodded and turned to Emelie. "Are you coming?"

Emele politely declined. "Mr. Middleton, I'm a bit tired"

"Ms. Hoven, go back to your room and get some rest. You've had enough for today. We can have some fun tomorrow." Charles said with a smile.

William nodded in agreement, letting her go Charles had one of the villa's maids lead Emelle to a suite.

Lakeside Villa was a Baroque-style building. It was extravagant and opulent. The corridors were adorned with vibrant paintings. The courtyard was illuminated with bright lights and featured a Venus de Milo

statue.

Emelie walked along the corridor, her feet sinking into the plush carpet that felt like walking on clouds. The air was filled with the scent of high-end perfume.

She remembered something and asked the maid, "Do you provide disposable underwear and sanitary pads here?"

The maid answered respectfully, "Yes, they're in the bathroom drawer."

Emelie was relieved. She replied, "That's great."

As she neared her room, Emelie encountered Elena in the hallway. Emelle nodded politely. Elena paused briefly, then smiled back in acknowledgment. Emelie entered her room while Elena headed to the poker game.

These were all suite. With two bedrooms, a study, and a living room.

Emelie went straight to the second bedroom. She opened the closet and found that they provided bathrobes for guests, so she didn't bother changing After washing her face and hands, she lay down on the bed. It wasn't just an excuse, she was genuinely tired.

These

e past few days, she'd felt like she could never get enough sleep. Now, it was already past one in the morning

she replied to a message. Then, she wrapped herself in the blanket and fell asleep.

However, her sleep was not deep. When she felt the mattress beside her sink, she abruptly woke up.

William was kneeling beside her. His hands rested near her head, bovering over her.

In the darkness, their eyes met.

Seeing her awake, he didn't beat around the bush. He lowered his head to replace her lips.

Then his hands began to wander under her clothes.

Emelie was just awakened and not yet fully composed. She instinctively grabbed his wrist.

Awwe of rejection surged from the depths of her being It spread through her entire body. Her head jerked around in a frenzy of evasion. "Mr. Middleton!

Why are you hiding? william's voice was low, resonating like a drum in her ears.

Emelie's eyes flickered, then she said, "You startled me all of a sudden."

William didn't say whether he believed her or not

Undoing his shirt button, the room remained unit. Only the courtyard's light filtered in, casting a sensual glow down his slender neck. It disappeared into the shadows of his collarbone,ccentuating his sexiness. Suddenly, Emelie sneezed

William remained silent

Exuelie quickly turned her head she grabbed some tissues from the tissue box on her bedside table. She then covered her mouth and nose as she sneered twice in a row.
