?Chapter 306:
The Couple’s Peculiar Behavior
Rita was tasked with taking care of Lawrence and Lindsay by Marissa. Once Marissa departed, Rita quietly stood watch over the two children in their room.
In Connor’s building at Daniels Manor, afterpleting his day’s work, Connor returned home ahead of schedule and settled into the study to address his tasks.
The study’s door stood wide open. Even as he concentrated on his work, he periodically nced toward the doorway, pondering whether Marissa might be sleepwalking that night.
At the moment, he was engaged in a video conference. While he was attentively listening to the senior managers’ reports, a figure swiftly passed the door. Instinctively, he nced up, catching sight of Marissa’s disappearing silhouette.
“That’s all for today.”
???€$? ?н?t??я? 1π ?alиoνε??.???
After uttering those words, he powered down theputer, rose from his seat, and exited the study, leaving the managers stunned. As he stepped out, he chanced upon Marissa entering the bedroom, promptly shutting the door behind her.
Pausing for a moment, he approached the bedroom door. Then, a sudden loud noise erupted, echoing the previous night’s events. Marissa had tossed something down once more. Swiftly, he swung the door open and peered inside, coincidentally witnessing her leaping from the balcony.
Though he was aware of her identity as ck Snake and her resilience to injury from such heights, his heart clenched as he watched her descent.
Hastening to the balcony, he peered downward. True to expectations, shended on the ground unscathed. Next to hery shattered window pieces, indicating she had just hurled the window down.
Scanning the surroundings, he noticed a vacant space where a window once stood on the balcony’s right side. Connor felt an urge to chuckle. If Marissa persisted in her sleepwalking antics, the vi would soon resemble a heap of rubble.
Just as augh bubbled up, a deafening crash shattered the moment, more harsh this time. He nced at Marissa and saw her wielding a brick, viciously attacking his car. His car, a limited edition Rolls Royce valued at 180 million dors, incurred millions in damages from her single blow.
Thankfully, she refrained from further brick-smashing. Instead, she discarded the brick, pped her hands, and strolled back toward the vi. Observing her behavior, he deduced the pattern of her actions. She seemed to follow a peculiar routine during her sleepwalking.
First, she would toss something from the second floor, then descend to wreak havoc below. Finally, she’d return to the vi, where she sought him out and slept beside him. He couldn’t fathom her motives.
Meanwhile, he descended to greet her. As he entered the first-floor living room, he observed her thorough search. She approached the task with utmost seriousness, even stooping to inspect the crevices between sofa cushions. Watching her earnest efforts, Connor couldn’t suppress a chuckle.
Marissa’s sleepwalking antics, though endearing, appeared somewhat absurd and illogical. Yesterday, she scoured the grass for him, and tonight she was rummaging between sofa cushions. Was he a burr in her subconscious mind?
Approaching her from behind, he whispered, “I’m here.”
After a moment’s pause, she turned around. Upon spotting him, she flung herself into his embrace, nuzzling against his chest like a kitten. Softly, she murmured, “Let’s go to bed.”
“Alright. Let’s head upstairs.”
With a smile, Connor stooped down, scooped her up, and ascended the stairs. Dominic, Marc, and Trey observed the scene in silence, each flinching simultaneously. The couple’s behavior struck them as peculiar.
To prevent Arabe from being disturbed again by Marissa’s nocturnal wanderings, Connor spared no expense in installing premium sound instion panels in Arabe’s room that day. Arabe needn’t worry about being disturbed.
Connor attempted to gentlyy Marissa down on the bed. However, as they entered the bedroom, she unexpectedly broke free from his embrace, seized his cor, and forcefully pulled him toward the bed, unceremoniously tossing him onto it.
She loomed over him like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, pressing herself against him. Then, with warmth, she kissed his lips passionately
