CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: OF COURSE I’M SLEEPING WITH YOU

Caden Hawthorne said he wouldn’t eat people, but Vivian Lynch remembered clearly that night in the hotel, he wanted her again and again.

If it weren’t for her pregnancy, he probably would have lost control long ago, right?

"I, I’ll wash up right away." Vivian’s face was bright red. She bit her lip and quickly stood up, grabbing her pajamas and rushing into the bathroom at the fastest speed.

Watching Vivian like a frightened little white rabbit, Caden lifted the corners of his mouth and called gently, "Take it slow, don’t hurt yourself."

The sound of running water soon came from the bathroom, and Caden’s gaze fell on Vivian’s design drafts.

He reached out and picked up her drawings, looking at them one by one.

Vivian indeed had a great talent for jewelry design, and his company needed talents like her.

If she were confined to the Hawthorne Family to be a full-time housewife, nurturing a child, it would really be beneath her potential.

Moreover, he could see that Vivian loved design deeply, and like other girls with design dreams, she wanted to work in a big company to realize her life’s worth.

Thinking of this, Caden made a silent resolution in his heart.

"Ah..." At this moment, a cry of pain came from the bathroom.

"What’s wrong?" Hearing the sound, Caden became instantly tense, rushing towards the bathroom.

He opened the bathroom door and was stunned by the scene before him, frozen in place.

He saw Vivian standing under the shower, her pajamas soaked with water, clinging tightly to her curvaceous body, revealing enticing curves. Her hair was wet, draped over her shoulders, her face filled with panic and shyness.

Seeing Caden burst in, Vivian became even more flustered, hurriedly covering her body with her hands, "You... why did you come in? Get out!"

Caden came to his senses, promptly turned his back, his voice a bit hoarse, "I heard you cry out, worried that something happened. Are you okay?"

Vivian blushed and said, "I’m fine, I just slipped accidentally."

Caden breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, be careful. I’ll go out first."

With that, he quickly left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

In the bathroom, Vivian remembered the scene of being seen by Caden just now, her face instantly reddened, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Oh no, he must have seen it just now."

Vivian only felt extremely embarrassed, quickly covering her face with her hands in shame, "What to do? So embarrassing!"

Outside the door, Caden returned to the room, at a loss.

His heart was still pounding vigorously, the scene just now replaying continuously in his mind, inevitably reminding him of the night at the hotel.

Vivian’s graceful figure, every inch of her skin was so mesmerizing, etching deeply in his mind.

To this day, he couldn’t stop reminiscing, always remembering.

A while later, Vivian came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, her face still red, not daring to look at Caden.

Caden looked at her shy appearance, a wave of tenderness rising in his heart, an awkward gaze, "Be careful next time."

Vivian shyly nodded, "Mm."

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward again, neither knowing what to say.

Finally, it was Caden who broke the silence.

"Vivian, about your design dream, I want to support you. After you have the baby, if you’d like, you can come work at my company." Caden said seriously.

Vivian looked at him in surprise, her eyes glistening with emotion.

"Really?"

Caden nodded, "Of course it’s true. I believe in your talent; you can definitely shine in the design field."

Vivian’s heart was filled with joy, she walked to Caden’s side, hugging him excitedly, "That’s great, Caden, thank you."

In her embrace, the towel fell to the ground, her nightdress had been drenched by the shower, and now it stuck to her body, and to Caden’s, undeniably adding fuel to the fire.

Caden looked down, taking in all her splendor.

"Ah..." Vivian screamed again, hurriedly covering Caden’s eyes with her hand, "Caden, you’re not allowed to look!"

If he hadn’t seen clearly at first in the bathroom, this time, he saw everything vividly; Vivian’s face turned red all the way to her neck, having never felt so embarrassed.

Caden’s body instantly tensed, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

He gently held Vivian’s hand covering his eyes, his voice hoarse, "Vivian, don’t be nervous, what of you haven’t I seen?"

Caden’s words carried a hint of teasing.

Is that something to say?

Vivian was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She hurriedly picked up the towel and wrapped it around herself, stammering, "You... turn around, don’t look."

Caden obediently turned around, trying to calm his emotions. Vivian scrambled to tidy herself up, filled with regret.

"About that... I didn’t do it on purpose." Vivian said in a small voice.

Caden coughed softly, "I know."

The atmosphere fell into awkwardness again, neither knowing how to break the deadlock. After a long while, Caden slowly spoke, "Vivian, your hair is wet. Let me dry it for you!"

Hearing this, Vivian was a little stunned. Caden actually wanted to dry her hair?

Vivian hesitated a bit, her cheeks still flushed with red, "No... no need."

But Caden had already come to her side, gently taking her hand, "Be good, sleeping with wet hair could give you a cold."

Looking at Caden’s serious expression, a warm current welled up in Vivian’s heart, so she no longer refused.

Caden brought a hairdryer, plugged it in, and gently combed through Vivian’s hair.

As the warm wind blew by, Vivian’s hair fluttered between his fingers, a warm atmosphere spreading in the room.

Caden’s movements were very gentle, as if handling a precious treasure.

Vivian sat quietly, feeling Caden’s thoughtfulness, her shyness gradually replaced by happiness.

"All done." After a while, Caden turned off the hairdryer, looking at Vivian’s smooth hair, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

Vivian turned around, looking at Caden, pulling her towel tighter around her, softly saying, "Thank you!"

Caden gently patted her head, "Vivian, no need to be so formal. It’s getting late, you should get some rest."

Rest? Hearing this word, Vivian suddenly felt a bit awkward, "What about you? Where will you sleep?"

"Of course, I’ll sleep with you. Do you think there would be a second bed in this room?" Caden grinned.

Vivian nervously swallowed, "Sleep together?"
