?Chapter 1437:
Then she closed her eyes and sighed.
After a moment, she stood, walked to the closet, and pulled out clothes for a shower.
When she finished and was drying her hair, someone knocked on the door.
What could it be at this hour?
“Who is it?” she asked.
The door opened. Eric stepped inside.
He was already in his pajamas, hair damp but mostly dry—clearly freshly showered. A pillow rested under his arm.
What was he up to?
She didn’t need to ask. She already knew. “Don’t push your luck.”
Her tone was sharp. Just earlier, she’d considered the idea of letting him in—and now he wanted to stay the night?
“I wouldn’t dare.” Eric raised his hands quickly, watching her face like a hawk. “I just can’t sleep in a room with another man.”
Whether it was the caregiver or the bodyguard, they were all men.
Although he’d suffered a blood clot in his brain, he was perfectly fine now.
He pointed at the sofa. “Can I sleep there?”
His voice dropped. “I slept pretty wellst night. I promise I won’t do anything inappropriate.”
Hadley stared at him in silence.
After a long pause, she turned away. “Suit yourself.”
“Great.”

Eric grinned and walked over with his pillow.
The sofa was narrow and a little short—not ideal for sleeping.<fn5daa> Latest content published on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn5daa>
But he was already in the room, settled on the sofa. How much farther could it be from sharing Hadley’s bed?
Last night, he had snuck in. Tonight, she had let him stay. That was already a huge step!
Hadleyy on her side, eyes half-open, watching Eric curled up on the sofa. She frowned.
There was no way that position wasfortable for him to fall asleep.
Well—he insisted.
“I’m turning off the light.”
“Okay.”
She switched off themp. The room went dark.
Good.
Now she didn’t have to look at him. She closed her eyes and drifted off.
The next morning, Hadley woke first.
She had to be on set early.
