Dorothy could tell what was on his mind, so she gently laid her hand on the back of his.
"I'm not tired. | think this is what makes life worthwhile." Though she knew it was impossible for her to be on par with Everett through hard work due to his status, she didn’t want to be seen as someone who agreed to be with him for his money.
That would be no different from being a kept woman.
"Alright. Just don't push yourself too hard." "I won't; don't worry." After Everett went to freshen up and changed into his pajamas, Dorothy, too sleepy to hold on, finally turned off her computer.
Throughout the night, he held Dorothy in his arms. They were like a pair of inseparable conjoined twins.
Who could have guessed that the usually private Everett was the seriously clingy type? In the early morning, the sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, warming their bedroom.

It was pressing against her, fully erect.
Usually, it was Everett who woke up first, so this was Dorothy's first time realizing that men could have reactions even in their sleep.
Was he having a wet dream? Dorothy felt inexplicably nervous. Her body stiffened, and she somehow found herself immobile.
Just then, Everett's body leaned forward, poking her in the waist with that certain part.
Subconsciously, Dorothy turned to look at him, meeting his slightly drowsy eyes.
"What time is it?" Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice had a grainy rasp to it, which imbued it with a dark magnetism.
"6:30." Soon, Everett noticed the stiffness of the woman in his arms and discovered the reason.
"Ahem, I'll go freshen up. You must be tired from the trip, so you should sleep a little more.” Dorothy was about to bolt, but she was reluctantly pulled back into his arms.
"Why are you running away, huh?" Dorothy's face was flushed beet red. She couldn't even look him in the eye.
It was too early in the morning for such stimulation.
"Dorothy, this is a normal physiological reaction for men in the morning. It's called morning wood." Everett spoke about the topic seriously. He even sounded a bit like a teacher who was lecturing a young and naive student.
Huh? How could she possibly know that? She had no experience with any other man apart from him.
"Usually, it goes down on its own after a while." "Oh." Dorothy blinked, but there was still something poking her belly. His scorching body heat was hard to ignore.

"But mine isn't." His was called morning exercise.
After this deep "discussion," Dorothy arrived late for work.
Luckily, Kevin was very understanding.
Last night, Mr. Lopez rushed back from his business trip, and the newlyweds were understandably hot and heavy.
"You can come in an hour later in the mornings from now on." He said while coming over to pick up some documents.
"Why?" "Because the distance from Bay Residence to the head office is quite far, you'll need some travel time. Also, there's nothing special going on in the morning meetings right now, so it doesn't matter whether you attend or not since you're mainly in charge of projects.” Kevin had to come up with a reason on the spot.
Dorothy considered it seriously. "I think I'll still attend. | don’t want to miss out on anything happening in the company." "In that case, ask Mr. Lopez what he thinks." "Why should | ask him? Is this a big deal?" She looked up. The bite mark on her neck was still fresh, but her face was full of confusion.
Kevin scratched his head helplessly. "Just ask Mr. Lopez."
