After setting up the nket on the couch, Ellen got under it, only showing her face as she looked at the
man sitting on the bed. “It’ste already. Let’s turn off the lights and go to sleep. Goodnight.”
Jared didn’t insist she slept on the bed anymore. After he turned off the light, hey down with his arm
as a pillow, but he couldn’t sleep at all. He turned to look at the slender figure on the couch through the
moonlight outside the window, and his gaze darkened at once, as there was this burning desire in him.
“Are you asleep?” he asked in a hoarse voice. “Not yet.”
“Are you still afraid?” “Not anymore.” Ellen also felt extremely surprised. It was as though there was a
strong maic field of safety around this man that could dispel all her fears.

“Sleep well, then,” he said warmly. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.” She was exhausted since she hadn’t slept well for several days. At this moment, she had
no sense of fear in her mind. So, she felt tired all over and fell asleep in no time after she was
completely rxed.
When Jared heard no movements from the couch, he was slightly stunned. Did she really fall asleep
just like this, with me beside her? Does my charm not affect her at all?
“Darling,” he called out softly.
As expected, there was no answer from her. Resigned, he sat up and looked at the moonlit spot on the
couch, where a clear and blemish- free little face could be vaguely seen with a calm expression.
Seeing that, he breathed a sigh as his drowsiness was all gone. Not only could he not sleep, but he
also had an urge, which he tried to control.
Half an hour after Ellen fell asleep, her good dream suddenly turned into a terrifying nightmare. It
seemed like she was in at supernatural world, always seeing things that scared her.
This made her sleep uneasy. In her dream, something was entangling her, making her hand brandish in
the air. “Go away! Shoo! Don’t follow me…” she yelled in her dream.
Jared, who was still awake, immediately sat up when he heard that. Oh no, she is trapped in a
nightmare.
At once, he turned on a dim wallmp and lifted the nket to get down from the bed. As he looked at
the pale girl on the couch, sweating. profusely and brandishing her hands in mid-air, he softly called
out, “Wake up, Ellen.”
Just then, she held his hand and opened her eyes, her dark pupils still trembling. When she saw him,
she suddenly hugged his neck and said, ‘I’m scared.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a nightmare.” Ellen buried her head tightly on his chest, like a frightened child, and
refused to let go.
“Come sleep with me on the bed.” As he said that, without waiting for her response, he lifted her
nket and carried her to his bed. Only then did she snap out of her daze, wiping the sweat off her
forehead. Her face, which had been pale just moments ago, was now blushing.
On the bed, Jared pulled his nket over to cover her up, while hey on his side next to her. Then, he
reached out his arm and turned off the lights.
When the whole room was shrouded in darkness, she was on edge. Almost instinctively, she moved
closer to the man. beside her.
Just then, a big palm held her hand and ced it around his sturdy waist, while his other arm went
behind her head, letting her rest on his arm.
It was an intimate and ambiguous sleeping position, but it gave her a sense of security. When she
breathed in his masculine scent, her mind couldn’t process any thoughts other than him. At this
moment, the man next to her upied her heartpletely.
At the same time, the terrifying nightmare from earlier had vanished. She felt that even if she had
another nightmare, she would have the strength to fight against any demons that maye her way,
bing a brave and invincible person.
“Alright. Let’s sleep.” He pressed the back of her head against his chest. This allowed Ellen to listen to
his strong and steady heartbeat. This is Kevin’s. Instantly, it gave her immense courage to fight against
any evil that dared toe near her.
