Chapter 18: Bedtime Story
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As my hands unconsciously wandered to Alpha’s solid abs, I heard shuffling footsteps outside the room.
I instantly regained my senses. At this moment, my clothes had been stripped off by Alpha, exposing a lot of my skin. It was extremely intimate and unrestrained.
Shit. Why would I do that with this rude egomaniac?
Seeing Alpha’s eyes glaze over, and was about to come and kiss me, I’m so startled that I instinctively bit his shoulder. It’s the feel of taut flesh.
“Hiss! What are you doing?!” Alpha gasped in pain. Then, he widened his eyes and quickly got up from my body. He looked at me in shock.
His innocent and disbelieving expression made it seemed like he was the victim.
I no longer had the shame to face this embarrassing scene. I got out of bed awkwardly, then lowered my head and tried desperately to escape out the door.
Nicole, who had just come out from the bathroom, watched as the figure disappeared from the doorway. She was stunned.
If she was not mistaken, the person who ran past her was her mother?
Next, Nicole turned around to see Alpha, who had a pale face and was half-naked. She quickly covered her eyes and said, “Eh? Daddy, why aren’t you wearing clothes?”
Alpha rushed out, intending to settle scores with the woman who had seduced him and bitten him. He didn’t expect his son to see his disheveled appearance and immediately rushed back to the bedroom in embarrassment.
After Alpha put on some clothes and walked out, Nicole blinked and asked, “Daddy, why is mommy in the room with you?”
And mommy ran out fast. How strange, Nicole thought.
Even Alpha himself couldn’t explain why something like this happened. He gritted his teeth and tried to act nonchalant. “She’s treating dad’s… illness.”
Only then did Nicole nod her head in understanding. She had seen how her mother performed acupuncture on a patient. She did indeed need to take off her patient’s clothes.
“And she’s not your mommy. Not every woman who shows up at your house is your mommy,” Alpha emphasized, while rubbing his temples with a headache.
Seeing that Nicole was about to argue with him about “whether mommy is mommy or not”, Alpha quickly interrupted, “Okay, go to sleep. You still have class tomorrow.”
Under Alpha’s watch, Nicole reluctantly climbed onto Noelle’s little bed.
Just as Alpha was about to turn off the lights, Nicole said, “You haven’t read me a bedtime story yet.”
“What?” Alpha was puzzled.
“It’s the story of the little bear and the little rabbit. Daddy, quickly read it to me, or I won’t be able to sleep.”
“Noelle, didn’t you say not to treat you like a child…” Alpha was uncertain. He looked at the little boy on the bed with a strange expression. He was indeed his son.
“I want to listen to the story!” Nicole emphasized.
Although it was very strange and incomprehensible, Alpha patiently found a book about bears and bunnies and read it to the little boy on the bed.
When his son finally fell asleep, Alpha quietly closed the door behind him and dialed. “Help me find out who the other woman living on the top floor of Kamel apartment is.”
On the other hand, while panting, I escaped from Alpha’s house, entered the elevator, and made my way down to the bottom of the building. After running a few laps around the apartment, I calmed my agitated emotions.
The scene just now was really too embarrassing.
I didn’t know what was going on, but I’d lost my mind under Alpha’s seduction. I’d almost fallen for it.
How could I have feelings for such an arrogant, rude, condescending, promiscuous man? How strange.
And the footsteps that had startled me awake earlier were probably from Alpha’s son, the little boy I’d once saved.
