Norbert chuckled, his mustache quivering, "Fine, fine, I won''t get mad at you."


    He picked a variety show on TV and was engrossed in it.


    However, Morwenna couldn''t focus on the TV show. Sitting too close to Stuart, she instinctively sat


    up straight.


    Stuart was also distracted. Once again, he caught a whiff of that drowsy scent.


    It was closer than before this time.


    Since they had agreed to catch a few hours of sleep togetherst time, Stuart had been too busy to


    replicate that scent.


    His chronic insomnia had been making him increasingly irritable.


    Sitting so close, with her soft hand tightly holding his, Stuart slowly closed his eyes.


    The variety show on TV burst intoughter, and unconsciously leaning toward Morwenna, Stuart fell


    asleep in the living room.


    Morwenna froze as Stuart''s breathing whispered in her ear.


    What on earth was he doing?


    Were they still ying the part of a loved married couple?


    There was no need to take it this seriously.


    Norbert was stunned by the scene.


    No one knew about Stuart''s sleeping troubles better than Norbert.


    Norbert had tried countless remedies for Stuart’s insomnia, but none had worked.


    With the TV ring and other people around, Stuart had fallen asleep.


    Suddenly, Norbert recalled thest time he saw Stuart and Morwenna sleeping together, and it all


    clicked.


    It was Morwenna''s doing!


    Norbert looked at Morwenna with a tender smile, silently gesturing. "You guys rest. I’ll head back


    now."


    Morwenna tried to get up to see him out, but with Stuart leaning on her, she couldn’t move.


    Norbert quickly waved her off, indicating no need, and hurried out the door.


    He felt assured that letting Morwenna marry Stuart was the best decision of his life.


    ...


    After Norbert left, Morwenna looked at the person beside her who still hadn''t opened his eyes.


    She finally realized he wasn''t pretending. He was genuinely asleep.


    Morwenna thought about waking him up.


    But then, she remembered the irritable and aggressive aura Stuart emitted each time he woke up.


    Seeing him sleeping so peacefully, she let him be in return for his cooperation today.


    Stuart slept on.


    Morwenna didn''t move an inch.


    It wasn’t until the evening, when thest rays of the setting sun gently covered them, that Stuart


    finally awoke.


    Upon waking, Stuart looked somewhat distressed.


    Seeing him awake, Morwenna got up and moved slightly away, maintaining a distance.


    Her legs were numb, and she almost stumbled, but she didn’t sit back down beside Stuart.


    Morwenna thought it was proper to keep some distance since they weren''t a couple.


    Their day of ying a loved couple was over. She was nning to find a ce to move out.


    Before returning to her room, Morwenna asked, "By the way, Stuart, what’s your phone number?"


    Stuart shot her a sharp nce and said coldly, "Don’t get any wrong ideas."


    Morwenna was puzzled at first, then it clicked what Stuart was getting at. Was he afraid she''d get


    too attached?


    Now that she was moving out, Morwenna didn''t need to put up with Stuart anymore.


    So, her suppressed nature surfaced.


    Puffing her cheeks, she red at Stuart and snapped, "Listen, mister, don''t tter yourself. I have


    no interest in you. You''re not my type."

    Stuart was left speechless.
