Chapter 5 Asleep

Robin in the shadows, "!!!"

Handsome... Handsome hottie!!!

Oh my God! What's happening with this woman today? Has she been hexed?

She actually dared to compare the boss handsome hottie!

Although the boss's face was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, even Robin, as a man, couldn't help but be moved by it, but the more familiar one was with him, the more one knew how brutal his true nature was.

Robin cautiously stole a glance at his boss, but could not tell what emotion was behind the deep, dark eyes.

Was the boss angry or not?

At this moment, Julian looked at the detestable girl in front of him, whose words were even more unbearable, and finally lost the last shred of patience. "Fine... Fine! Since you are so stubborn, don't regret it later when you realize your mistake! Ivy, I've done all I could for you!"

Ivy watched Julian's departing back, a dazed look on her face.

In her past life, at this moment, she should have been facing Richard's towering fury. But this time, she had successfully changed her life's course. Julian had left, and Richard...

The familiar aura had also disappeared, she wasn't sure when.

Had she passed this trial?

Richard's temperament was unpredictable, so Ivy didn't dare to be careless. After adjusting her emotions, she turned and walked back into the house.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, that familiar aura surged into her every pore.

"Come here."

On the sofa, the man's murky, unfathomable gaze spread toward her like a net, suffocating in its intensity.

Ivy stood frozen in place, as though her feet had rooted to the ground.

Even though she had been reborn, the deep fear she felt for this man had not changed.

But if she wanted to change her destiny, she had to overcome this fear.

Ivy clenched her palm to keep herself awake and slowly walked toward him.

Just as she reached him, in the next moment, she was pulled to sit on the man's lap, and immediately, her lips were kissed with a sharp pain-

His thin lips, icy and forceful, pressed down hard, moving against her lips in a slow, relentless manner, not leaving a single corner untouched...

Ivy didn't dare to move, forcing herself not to resist, not to provoke him.

But she couldn't help but think, she had applied an even more exaggerated lipstick today, the color looked like it was poison, didn't he think it was too bright to look at? Was he kissing her with no hesitation?

Since meeting Richard at the age of twenty-five, for the past two years, she had been using all sorts of extreme methods to cover her true appearance, hoping to disgust him.

Had she known it would be like this, why had she tortured herself into such a monstrous state?

At this thought, Ivy suddenly snapped back to her senses.

She had actually drifted off into a daze in Richard's arms?

Shocked even more, she realized her neck felt heavy. Richard had somehow pulled her into his arms like a pillow, his head resting on her neck, his warm breath washing over her sensitive skin, his breathing steady and long.

He had fallen asleep...

How could this be!?

Ivy didn't dare to make a sound. After waiting for half an hour without any movement from Richard, she tentatively called, "Richard...?"

The man still showed no reaction.

He had really fallen asleep!

Not far away, Robin, who had been waiting at the door out of concern, stared wide-eyed, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

Ivy was also surprised.

Because she clearly remembered that Richard had severe sleep disorders, and his body had an unusually high resistance to medication. Most drugs had no effect on him, and every time he fell asleep, it required a professional psychologist to induce hypnosis.

What was worse, this man not only had abnormally strong mental strength, but his psychological defenses were also extremely tough. It was very difficult to hypnotize him, and when he was in a bad mood, hypnosis was completely useless.

The Henderson family had hired countless doctors for him, but no one had been able to solve the problem. They had even said that if the situation didn't improve, he wouldn't survive past the age of thirty.
