Ste was breathless when Matthew finally let go of her lips.


    She said in a trembling voice, “I know I was wrong.


    Go to take a shower first.


    I’lle backter.


    Okay, honey?”


    Upon hearing her beg in a soft voice, Matthew didn’t make things difficult for her anymore.


    He ki*sed her two more times before letting her go.


    “Okay,e backter.


    ”


    Ste waited for Matthew to enter the bathroom.


    When she heard the sound of the water from the shower, she slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.


    At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.


    It was a notification that she had a new email.


    She picked up her phone and checked.


    It was from Be.


    Ste’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she swiftly clicked open the email.


    Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    The message unfolded in a typical format.


    Ste skimmed past the formalities, focusing on the core message.


    “I’m seeking a student to embark on a long-term journey with me.


    If you’re interested, you’re wee to participate in this selection.


    ”


    Ste blinked, re-reading the words several times to ensure it was indeed an invitation from Be.


    She had initially dismissed Be’s previous message as mere small talk, never expecting that Be would actually remember and offer her such an opportunity.


    Without hesitation, Ste drafted her response.


    “Count me in for the selection.


    ”


    Even after hitting send, she remained in exhration and disbelief.


    She ced her hand over her racing heart, taking a moment to regainposure.


    Matthew emerged from the bathroom, catching sight of Ste lost in thought on the edge of the bed.


    Approaching her, he inquired softly, “Is everything alright?”


    Meeting his gaze, Ste observed Matthew wrapped in a bath towel.


    His damp hair tousled across his forehead, lending him a softer, more approachable aura than his usual demeanor.


    Caught in his intense stare, Ste felt a blush creep across her cheeks, prompting her to avert her eyes.


    “Nothing.


    ”


    Noticing her blush, Matthew grinned warmly.


    He casually approached the wardrobe, retrieving his pajamas and changing with an air of nonchnce as if the room were empty.


    Ste’s cheeks flushed deeper as she closed her eyes, feeling her heartbeat quicken.


    Finishing changing, Matthew approached the bedside, aware of Ste’s shyness but unable to resist teasing her.


    He lightly pinched her cheek.


    “After all this time living together, why are you still so shy?”


    Startled, Ste opened her eyes and swatted his hand away, her face growing redder.


    Leaning in close, Matthew whispered in her ear, “Your turn.


    ”


    Startled by his suggestion, Ste sought a quick escape, pushing him away.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

    However, as soon as she attempted to stand up, Matthew held her once more, preventing her from leaving his side.


    “I can manage on my own.
