Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281

Allen Rivera woke up at two in the night, finding the sofa far less comfortable than the bed.

He stretched his neck a little, and as soon as he sat up, the blanket slid off his body.

Allen was slightly stunned, then realized that Jane McCain had covered him with it. His lips curled up into a faint smile.

He felt that the girl was really considerate.

It’s a pity he hadn’t been able to spend quality time with her today, so he would have to find a way to make it up to her on Saturday.

Thinking this, he twisted his somewhat stiff neck, took a brief shower in the bathroom, and returned to the bedroom, only to find an extra person in bed...

Women are truly amazing creatures; no matter the type, once they put on a man’s shirt, they exude a different kind of charm,

She was curled up, sleeping soundly, her hair spread messily across the bed, just like Allen’s current breathing—disturbed and speechless.

Allen stood by the bed, staring at her for a full five minutes.

The warm orange light from the bedside lamp cast a soft glow on her fair skin, painting it with a tender pink that seemed to shimmer like an artwork, indescribably smooth and radiant.

Two words floated in Allen’s mind: fresh and tender.

After a while, those two words expanded into four: melts in the mouth.

Thinking about it, Allen felt the recent overtime work had indeed exhausted him, so to avoid affecting his performance, he decided to put off the idea of ’melting in the mouth’ for a while.

Besides, this girl seemed to lack a sense of security. Being with him, she would occasionally show signs of insecurity. He guessed they would need to get to know each other better and wait for her to feel completely at ease before taking the next step.

Allen curled his index finger and gently brushed Jane’s cheek. It felt so soft.

Thinking to himself: Sleeping so soundly, aren’t you afraid of being taken away by a wolf?

No matter how rational he was, he wasn’t a eunuch...

Allen sighed and lay down beside Jane.

With an extra person on the bed, Jane, half-awake, felt something. She turned around and bumped into a warm, solid body.

She opened her eyes and saw it was Allen. Instinctively, she asked him, "Weren’t you on the sofa?"

"I didn’t do anything wrong, so why punish me by making me sleep on the sofa?" Allen chuckled and countered.

Jane stared at him blankly, as if she couldn’t quite process it. After looking at him in confusion for a while, she closed her eyes and fell back asleep.

It was as if the question she asked was just part of a dream.

Allen gently pulled her into his arms, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought for a long time...

...

When Jane woke the next morning, she had completely forgotten about last night, assuming Allen had slept on the sofa all night.

Allen went out to buy breakfast and also brought back a new set of toiletries, including slippers.

Jane silently accepted the items, but her heart was in turmoil, wondering if this meant she could come and stay more often in the future.

While she was contemplating, Allen handed her a key.

"Wait for me at home next time. The internet speed at home is faster than at the office, so watching cartoons won’t lag."

Jane was speechless: "..."

After a moment of silence, she tentatively said, "I have a lot of stuff... Cosmetics, shower gel, shampoo, face masks—all with specific brands. I only sleep on long-staple cotton satin sheets, and my pajamas—"

Before she could finish, Allen suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

When he let go, Jane was slightly breathless, her face flushed.

"You can wear this pajama, I have no issues with the rest," Allen said, firmly squeezing her body, captivated by the feel.

Jane pressed her lips together, wanting to smile but too shy to let him see, so she buried her entire face in his chest.

She felt blissfully happy.

Too lazy to consider if the pace was too fast, her mind was filled only with: so happy, so happy...

At this moment, Allen asked her, "Do you have time on New Year’s Day? Come with me to visit my folks."
