Chapter 385 A Good Night's Sleep "Baxter really likes you. I've never seen it act this playful with a stranger!" The young girl looked at Chloe in amazement.
Baxter was now lying on the grass, showing off his round belly.
Chloe looked up. "Really? Maybe I just have a knack with animals!" She smiled sweetly, genuinely believing it.
After all, even "Gigi" at the Shawn Manor liked her a lot.
Chloe played with Baxter for a while before saying goodbye to the young girl.
"I live just over there. If you want to play with Baxter again, you can cfind me. Bye!" The young girl waved goodbye with a sweet smile.
After waving back, Chloe turned to Michael and said, "Let's head back. We've walked long enough." Michael's expression was gentle as he looked at her. "You really like small animals?" "What girl can resist fluffy creatures?" Chloe stretched, feeling much more relaxed after playing with Baxter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMichael watched her thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "I understand." Chloe was puzzled. "Understand what?" "Nothing, let's go back. It's getting colder." The weather forecast had mentioned rain tonight, and it was likely to start later.
Since he wasn't willing to elaborate, Chloe didn't press further, just thinking he was being mysterious.
Back at Lotus Manor, as Chloe headed upstairs, she encountered Rosie coming down from the third floor. Upon seeing Emma was holding sbedding, Rosie's expression was a bit stiff.
"Mrs. Shawn, are you going to sleep with Mr. Shawn?" Chloe found it odd, feeling this wasn't a question Rosie should be asking.
Emma spoke up for Chloe, "Mr. Shawn and Mrs. Shawn should naturally sleep together." Rosie was momentarily speechless before adding, "Mrs. Shawn is in the early stages of pregnancy. Sharing a bed might harm the baby." Chloe frowned. At that moment, Michael cup from downstairs.
"I sleep pretty well. I won't harm my wife." With his arm around her waist, Chloe gave Rosie another look before walking into the bedroom.
After Emma finished tidying up and left, Michael looked at Chloe sitting on the edge of the bed. "Do you think Rosie is a bit problematic? Should we get a new nutritionist?" Chloe found his suggestion surprising.
"What makes you think she has a problem?" Michael sat beside her and started to complain.
"She doesn't need to cook but insists on preparing food just for me. She tried to stop us from sharing a room earlier. Isn't that suspicious enough?" Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Did she actually try to stop us from sleeping together?" She knew the answer but wanted to hear his explanation.
"Yes, she did. No, we should replace her tomorrow." Lost in thought, Michael got up and headed into the bathroom.
Chloe found it amusing.
She thought, "So he can tell when someone has ulterior motives. I thought he was just slow to react.
But now, I don't really care.
Whether he changes Rosie or not doesn't matter to me." That first night, sleeping together again, Chloe lingered in the bathroom for a while.
It wasn't until Michael knocked on her bathroom door from outside.
"Chloe, are you done yet?" Startled, Chloe quickly turned off the shower. "Coming, coming!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce out, she hurried to her side of the bed and quickly pulled the covers over herself. She figured that closing her eyes would help her stop overthinking.
With a click, the lights went out, and Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
She lay stiffly near the edge of the bed.
When Michael reached out to pull her closer, she instantly turned and m placed her hand on his chest. "What ΕΠ are you doing?" "You were edging towards the bed's edge. You might fall." Michael's voice held a hint of helplessness.
"Goodnight." Chloe lay back down, touching her belly, feeling a bit restless.
But perhaps due to the walk, she soon drifted off into a hazy sleep.
As Chloe's breathing gradually steadied, Michael slowly opened his eyes, reaching out to gently pull her into his arms. He buried his nose in her softly fragrant hair.
"Tonight, we should be able to sleep well," he thought.
