NovelEnglishChapter 1187:
After a brief shower, he returned to find Laney asleep on the bed in his lounge.
Checking his watch, Cliff said audibly, “When you wake up, it should be around lunchtime. What would you like
to eat? | can book us a spot.”
Cuddling her blanket, Laney murmured, “I'd rather eat something you made.”
Cliff nodded in acknowledgment. “I'm going to head hfor a while.” He paused and asked, “Are you scared to
sleep here by yourself?”
“Not in the slightest.” Laney, a slight blush coloring her cheeks, asked, “Cliff, could | take a shower later? Would
you mind if | borrow a shirt of yours?”
Cliff caught the playful gleam in her eyes and realized her intentions.
“I'm not into that fantasy.”
Actually, Laney hadn't planned that far ahead.
Yet, Cliff found it hard to deny her request and left behind the shirt he had just worn for her. “I'll be back in an

His scrutiny intensified as he looked back at Laney’s reddened cheeks. “I sped up because | was worried you
might be hungry,” he explained as he entered the bathroom.
Laney felt suddenly exposed, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She made a move to push him away,
urging, “Please step outside.”
Holding her cold hand gently, Cliff asked, “You never bother with laundry at home, yet here you are washing
clothes by hand. What's the secret?”
“Don’t ask,” Laney murmured, avoiding his gaze.
Driven by curiosity, Cliff gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. “Did you try it on? Why wash it if it’s
not dirty?” Considering her tender skin, how could the shirt possibly get dirty?
Pressing further, Cliff warned, “Tell me, or I'll find out myself.”
In a rush of panic, Laney blocked his attempt to reach past her. “I got it wet.”
Detecting a familiar sweet aroma,
Cliff asked with a kno@ing ohe. "On?
