Chapter 5 5

Irsya tightly held Alex's hand, her face showing a pitiful and fearful expression. Alex looked at her with confusion.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Can I sleep in the same place as you?" Irsya asked hesitantly.

Irsya didn't hear Alex's response, she remained silent for several minutes, becoming increasingly frustrated with him.

"Don't stay silent, say something. Don't leave me hanging like this, jerk."

Irsya suppressed her embarrassment, she thought Alex would endlessly tease her and say things that were uncomfortable to hear, but she couldn't sleep alone.

"Don't just stay silent, answer me, Alex!!"

"Okay."

Irsya was startled, feeling both annoyed and confused by Alex's brief response.

"Alex, are you allowing me to sleep with you?" Irsya asked, seeking clarification.

"Yes."

Irsya bit her lip, holding back the embarrassment that was welling up inside her. She felt embarrassed about asking to sleep in the same room as a man who wasn't even anyone to her.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you. I'll sleep on the floor," Alex reassured her.

Alex looked at her again with his flat expression, giving her a gentle pat on the head.

"Finish your meal," Alex said.

Irsya was stunned, Alex had the audacity to ask her to finish her dinner after she had requested to sleep in the same room with him.

"Al-right," Irsya replied.

The girl sat back at the dining table, finishing her dinner while pondering over Alex's confusing behavior.

"Why isn't he mocking me?" Irsya wondered silently.

She continued to recall Alex's face, which made her heart race a bit.

"That jerk probably wants to take advantage of this situation. I won't be fooled by the kindness he's showing."

After finishing her dinner, she approached Alex, who was in his room reading a book. He looked handsome, but for some reason, he didn't appeal to Irsya at all. The girl was puzzled when she saw that there was no bed laid out on the floor.

"Where am I going to sleep?" Irsya asked, confused.

Alex pointed towards the King-size bed, causing Irsya to immediately gasp and cover her chest with both hands.

"N-no way. I can't sleep there."

Alex placed the book he was reading on the table, then approached Irsya, staring into her eyes. This pushed the girl back, and she fell onto the bed.

"Alex has such beautiful eyes, and his lips are so pretty," Irsya murmured, nervously swallowing.

"I'll sleep on the couch, and you can sleep on the bed," Alex said, once again without expression.

Irsya's face turned completely red, and she was furious because Alex, who showed no expression, made her pinch his cheek and play with it like it was slime.

"I'm so mad at you, I'm really mad. Why, at a time like this, aren't you showing any expression?"

The girl even cried and laughed at the same time, continuously playing with Alex's cheek, which felt as soft as slime.

"Why, Alex, why aren't you even angry or laughing? Show me one expression," Irsya pleaded.

Alex held Irsya's hand, which had been pinching his cheek like slime all along. He looked into her eyes, causing Irsya to just lower her head, not wanting to show her increasingly reddened face.

"You're a girl full of expressions. If I add an expression, then you won't be visible. No matter my expression, what's most important is your expression."

Irsya cried even more, resting her head on Alex's chest because she was only as tall as his shoulders. She wet Alex's clothes with her tears.

"Cry," Alex said.

Alex's hands hugged Irsya's body, he stroked Irsya's head gently making the girl feel very comfortable, the girl sobbed and hugged Alex's body tightly

"Just take it all out. That's right, don't ever hold back your tears, "

Irsya nodded, she couldn't even hold back her tears anymore and just sobbed making her heart ache.

"This really hurts Alex. When a child sees his mother sleeping with his mistress. I've seen everyone hearing that sound since I was fifteen years old, it's depressing me."

"I should have come earlier. Sorry I'm late to see you."

Irsya wept even more, she held Alex's back tightly and sobbed, feeling her heart ache.

"How many girls have you slept with?" asked Irsya

Alex was shocked, his eyes widened but he still didn't have a facial expression, he held Irsya's shoulder and looked into her eyes with a surprised and confused look.

"What are you asking, how many girls have I slept with?" asked Alex surprised

"Your mouth is very sweet, your attitude treats me like a queen and you make me very comfortable, of course you don't just sleep with one girl, right? You must have slept with at least four girls."

Alex removed his hand from Irsya's shoulder as he sighed, he left Irsya alone in the room while he went somewhere.

"Is he mad at me?"

Irsya felt very guilty for her question which made Alex offended and surprised.

"But, if he has never slept with anyone. How can he act like that, how can he act like a very nice man, treat me like a queen and take care of me so well like this. But, why is he mad at me. Shouldn't you be comparing me to the girl he slept with?"

Irsya sighed roughly as she screamed confused, she lay her body right on the mattress which felt very comfortable making her bite her lower lip with her heart racing fast.

"Is this the bed? It felt so comfortable, how could a man sleep in a bed like this. It's like sleeping on a cloud."

Irsya saw Alex who had just returned to his room, making the girl immediately feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

"I am sorry!" Irsya said nervously
