After setting up the blanket on the couch, Ellen got under it, only showing her face as she looked at the man sitting
on the bed. “It’s late 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, he lay 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
magnetic 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

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 wall lamp and lifted the blanket 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 blanket 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 blanket over to cover her up, while he lay 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

Just then, a big palm held her hand and placed it around his sturdy waist, while his other arm went behind her head,
letting her rest on his arm.

masculine scent, her mind couldn’t process any thoughts other than him. At this moment, the man next to her
occupied her heart completely.

nightmare, she would have the strength to fight against any demons that may come her way, becoming 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 to
come near her.
