Ferris froze, the blight /bin his beyes /bgradually dimmingb, /bhis expression slowly turning cold: b“/bbAre /bbyou /bsureb?/bb” /b

I looked directly at him, my tone cold but firm. He had obviously forgotten what he had said before.

b“/bbI /bwould ept gifts from anyone else, but not from byou/b. bEww/b.b” /b

As soon as the words fell. I pushed him away bwithout /bhesitation and turned to leaveb. /b

Ferris watched my resolute retreating figureb, /bhis knuckles tightening. The bnext /bsecond, he threw the exquisitely packaged gift box hard into the trash can.

Having not eaten all evening, plus his cold still not fully recovered, his stomach ached dully, the pain so intense that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

?e didn’t know what was wrong with him today. bJust /bseeing that delicate bracelet, his first thought had been of youb–/bbut you showed no appreciation whatsoeverb, /beven guarding against him like he was ba /bstranger.

b‘/bberris’s /bexpression was frighteningly dark. He pressed his hand against his stomachb, /bgritted his teeth, and sat back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest and tryin? b /bsuppress his churning emotions.

Meanwhile, I reached the door only to find it wouldn’t open.

tried turning the handle several times, then turned back to re at him angrily: “You locked the door?”

erris slowly opened his beyes/b, his tone indifferent but righteous: “We are alpha and luna, we should be living together anyway.”

e remained silent, just looking at me with heavy eyes, as if suppressing his emotions to avoid a fight, but with no intention of backing down.

didn’t want to argue with him anymore. Feeling annoyed and confused, I finally had to give in reluctantly.

Whatever, we’re definitely not sleeping together anyway.”

fter saying this coldly, I turned and walked toward the guest room at the end of the hallway.

pushed the door open, locked it from inside, and leaned against the door, closing my eyes.

erris had looked very ufortable just now–his stomach condition must have red up again.

ut I was no longer the Aurora who cared about him constantly.

erris sat on the sofa for about half an hour, listening as the sounds from my room upstairs gradually quieted. Only then did he confirm that I truly didn’t care

bout him anymore.

side the room, I took medicine andy in bed, slowly drifting off to sleep.

ut not long afterb, /bthe locked door was opened with a key, and a tall figure walked in.

he man pulled back the covers and drew me into his arms with hisrge hands, holding me tight.

reathing in my familiar, pleasant scent, Ferris felt his physical difort ease somewhat.

sensed this and opened my eyes. In the pitch–ck room, I couldn’t see the man clearly and reached out to push him away.

ut Ferris held me even tighter.

Don’t moveb, /blet me hold you for a while.”

His voice was blow /band hoarse–clearly his cold had bworsened/b.

“Let go of me.“I noticed his whole body was burning bhot/bb. /b

Ferris pressed his forehead against mine: “No.”

When I reached out to push him, I identally touched something and reflexively pulled back.

Ferris groaned ufortably.

“I told youb, /bbdon’t /bmove around.b” /b

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

Listening bto /bhis strong heartbeat, I shrank inward, but soon his long arm swept around me, pulling me close again.

Ferris leaned against me, and unlikest time, this time he found himself even more unable to sleep, his palms beginning to wander.

When I noticed, I instinctively dodged: “What are you doingb?/bb” /b

“Don’t you want tob?/bb” /bFerris asked. “Haven’t you always wanted to be intimate with me? Now you have your chanceb./b”

bHis /bbody temperature seemed to have risen another degree.

“That is, by all means, disgusting.”

I shrank further inward until there was nowhere left to retreat.

“Toote.”

Seeing my somewhat rejecting movements, Ferris couldn’t help but feel acid rising in his heart: “What, I’m not good enough, but Adrian isb?/bb” /b
