    Chapter 1288 Were You Pretending To Sleep?


    Upon entering the resort, she noticed that this establishment ced great emphasis on customer


    privacy. Apart from the main entrance, there were no surveince cameras in the other areas.


    At this early hour, Zephyr''s bodyguards should be resting as well.


    Johanna carefully opened the door to her room and saw that the hallway outside was indeed empty,


    with no one guarding it. Relying on the resort map she had seen in the reception area, she hurriedly


    walked towards the other side of the hallway.


    Upon seeing the door, she strode over and pulled on it twice, only to realize it was locked.


    Why is there still a lock on this sliding door?


    To Johanna''s surprise, thest obstacle turned out to be a door. Frustrated, she pounded on the


    shutter, ready to find some tools to pry the lock open.


    At that moment, a hand reached out and handed over a brass key.


    “Thank you.” Johanna took the key and quickly opened the door. As soon as the door was pulled open,


    a cold wind blew in from outside.


    Soon, she felt that something was off. Turning her head, she first saw a foot in a bathrobe, and then,


    raising her gaze, she saw a man with one handzily tucked into his bathrobe pocket, looking down at


    her intently.


    Even when squatting down, the man was still taller than Johanna. He had to lower his head to look at


    her, “Jojo, where do you want to go?”


    Johanna looked up and met his gaze, “Were you just pretending to sleep?”


    “The scent on you is like a top-notch sleep aid for me, so how could I pretend to sleep?” Zephyr''s thin


    lips curled up, revealing a hint of a smile. “However, I''m a light sleeper, and the slightest movement can


    wake me up.”


    Zephyr nced outside and gently asked, “Do you want to run away?”


    “Yeah,” Johanna no longer bothered to pretend, “Ever since I got off the cruise ship, I''ve been thinking


    about escaping every minute and every second. As long as I make it to the embassy, I''ll be safe.”


    She sneered, “That one-year agreement is nothing but a sham, who cares about your affection!”


    “Then you should go,” Zephyr said.


    Johanna was taken aback, thinking she must have misheard something. Meanwhile, Zephyr sighed


    and said, “Your legs are your own; if you really want to leave, I can''t stop you.”


    Since he intended to let her go, Johanna headed straight for the reception lobby.


    She wanted the resort to arrange a vehicle to take her down the mountain, but the resort said that the


    drivers were all resting at this time and couldn''t help her with the arrangement.


    And behind her, Zephyr followed at a leisurely pace.


    He watched as Johanna walked to the door and put on her t shoes, struggling to contain himself. Yet,

    his tone was casual, “It takes more than an hour to drive up the mountain, and it might take even longer


    for you to walk down. Besides, you''re pregnant. Do you think it''s safe to walk in the dark?”


    Johanna paused in the act of putting on her shoes, and her subordinate instinctively touched their


    stomach through their clothes.


    If she were alone, she wouldn''t be afraid of the dark. Even if it took her five or six hours to walk down


    the mountain, she would still persevere.


    But now that she''s pregnant, she has be quite delicate.


    Zephyr walked over and stood behind Johanna, whispering softly, “When I said I''d let you go, I meant it.


    Go back to sleep, and we''ll leave in the morning.”


    Johanna nced outside and saw the pitch-ck darkness. Gritting her teeth, she finally decided to


    take off her shoes.


    When Johanna returned to the room, she saw that a pregnancy pillow had been added to the bed.


    Her belly had grownrger, making it ufortable for her to sleep on her side. She could only lie t


    on her back, but even then, she struggled to fall asleep.


    Perhaps this is what Zephyr had prepared for everyone.


    Johannay silently on her pregnancy pillow, feeling the heaviness in her abdomen and the soreness in


    her waist gradually decreasing. Drowsiness soon overtook her, and she quickly fell asleep.


    Zephyr gently moved closer, covering her with a nket, and then leaned down to give her a soft kiss


    on the cheek.


    It was just a gentle kiss, yet it ignited an even stronger desire within him.


    Zephyr''s lips moved down, gently kissing Johanna''s lips and sucking on them. Tenderly and carefully,


    he pried open her lips and tongue. There was a faint taste of milk between her lips and teeth, delicate


    and sweet.


    Zephyr felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, and his breathing became erratic.
