    Gavin carefully attempted to withdraw his hand from Londa a grasp, antiots about the consequences of


    illowing things to progress any further.


    However, his efforts were interrupted when La suddenly shivered, indicating that she was beginning


    to wake up.


    In a quick decision, Gavin closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, hoping to avoid any


    embarrassing moments when La eventually fully awoke.


    Unbeknownst to Gavin. La had awakened earlier than he had realized.


    La had been the first to notice her position nestled in Gavin’s arms, experiencing the warmth and


    comfort it provided


    The warmth surrounding her was inviting, and she was strongly urged to stay there


    Even though La had awakened at that moment, she was surprised to see Gavin lying beside her


    Her astonishment quickly gave way to the realization that Gavin had been sleeping beside her all night.


    never leaving her side.


    This realization caused La’s face to turn red like a ripe apple.


    Even though Gavin remained asleep. La couldn’t summon the courage to meet his gate


    As La was about to shift her arm, a sudden sensation washed over her, akin to stumbling upon a


    Judden treasure.


    “Why did Gavin always invariably have a shlight, even when he slept Layta couldn’t help but wo was


    early in the morning, after all.


    Her curiosity got the better of her. After all, she was entirely in the dark about it.


    Driven by her curiosity, La’s hand moved forward, but poor Gavin was in for a surprise he hadis i

    After an uncertain amount of time had passed. La suddenly froze


    The very next moment, her entire being was struck with shock.

    Because, well it appeared that


    She perked her hand back as if she were a startled deer.


    Just as La was about to retract her hand, Gavin firmly seized hold of La’s delicate hand La


    was caught off guard. Was Gavin already awake?


    She didn’t immediately lift her head. Instead, she kept her eyes tightly shut, her heart hammering away


    in her chest. She silently thought, “What on earth am I doing? It was as if I was behaving like a female


    rascal. It was one thing not to get caught, but now I was most definitely caught… How could Gavin


    posubly be thinking of me? Oh my goodness, this is it. It’s all over now! From this point on, I was


    convinced that, in Gavin’s eyes, I had taken a turn for the worse. How did things end up like this… I


    hadn’t experienced any strange dreams or anything of the sort.


    At that moment, La sensed that Gavin hadn’t made a move. She cautiously attempted to open her


    eyes. and was met with Gavin’s intense gaze, causing her cheeks to flush an even deeper shade of


    red.


    Gavin found La’s bashful expression irresistibly charming and leaned in for a passionate kiss on her


    cherry-red lips.


    Initially. La had been resting her arm on Gavin, but she soon leaned into his advances willingly.


    While Gavin continued to kiss La, he began undoing the small buttons on her blouse. Things were


    heating up fast, and it seemed they were on the brink of an intense moment.


    Suddenly, a voice from outside the door shattered the intimate atmosphere. It was Zoe. “La, are you


    awake? Shall we head to the office together today?”


    In an instant, La and Gavin lost in their private world, snapped back to reality.


    It was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had extinguished the passionate mes that had ignited between


    them.


    Disheveled and hastily dressed, both of them leaped to their feet instantly.


    After a quick, furtive exchange of nces, Gavin scratched his head and said, “Do you have a hiding


    spot here? I’ll slip away until the rest of you have gone.”


    La’s eyes wandered around the bedroom in embarrassment. The closet had been custom-made to


    he height, making it impossible for Gavin to hide inside.


    There weren’t any other suitable hiding spots except under the bed, but asking Gavin to hide there wou


    be somewhat absurd.


    La blushed and mumbled softly to Gavin, “Gavin, it might have to be under the bed… I’m sorry to put


    you through this.”


    Gavin nced under the bed, never expecting a day when he had to hide beneath it sneakily.


    But he had no any other choice at the moment.


    Zoe was indeed his sister. She dared to ruin his good moments!


    Gavin smiled gently at La and assured her, “Go ahead, La. I’ll be fine.”


    “You and Zoe can wait for me at the entrance of the Clifford Vi, and we’ll leave together.”


    La blushed even more profoundly, offering Gavin a shy smile before hurrying out of the room.


    Gavin could faintly overhear La and Zoe’s conversation outside the door. “La, have you been


    awake all this time? What have you been up to? Come on, spill the beans! Is there a man in there?”


    Zoe’s teasing words startled La as if she knew exactly what had transpired!


    La lowered her head, feeling too embarrassed to meet Zoe’s eyes, and denied it, “What nonsense


    are you talking about! This is the Clifford Vi, after all. Wouldn’t that be too audacious?”


    Zoe looked at La, who seemed flustered and thenughed. “Alright, La, I was just joking!”


    “Don’t get so worked up. It’s like you’re taking it seriously!


    “Hahaha!”


    As Zoe’sughter faded, La watched her mischievously vanish into the distance and called out


    loudly, “Zoe! Stop right there!”


    Once La and Zoe were at a distance, Gavin suddenly had an epiphany.


    mjure Were indeed legal couples. Why does it feel like we’re having an dheit afbur and trying


    skiast was a family affair with, everyour gathered at the table. But La kept her head down, blushing


    Furtously and avoiding eye contact with Gavin


    bi contrast, Gavin was actedpletely natural, even serving food to La Taylor and engaging in


    Conversation


    This left La giving Gavin a yful, reproachful look


    What was going on with Gavin?


    He was the one who was supposed to be avoiding suspicion earlier, but now he was openly serving her


    and taking care of her


    Was he trying to get caught or not?


    Later. La, Zoe, and Gavin headed together to thepany’s storefront.


    When they arrived, they found Noah still kneeling at the entrance, his face turned pale.


    Even though he was a warrior, kneeling for such a long time had taken its toll.


    His entire body swayed unsteadily, but when he caught sight of Gavin’s figure, he immediately stood


    upright.
