Chapter 9 Warm Embrace

**The sound of "****Honey****" was soft and sweet, causing Dominic's sexy Adam's apple to move up and down. He embraced her fragrant shoulders and whispered, "Go to sleep."**
**"Mm, goodnight," Ava replied softly.**
**Ava thought she would have trouble falling asleep, but when she opened her eyes the next day, it was already six o'clock.**
**Kylie had told her that she had to leave before six o'clock and couldn't sleep for an extra minute!**
**She was late!**
**Ava moved to get up but found herself still in Dominic's arms. His strong arm wrapped around her slender waist as they cuddled intimately together.**
**Ava trembled slightly and quietly slipped out of his embrace.**
**But as soon as she moved, Dominic woke up. His voice sounded groggy yet lazy from just waking up as he tightened his grip on her even more. "Why are you awake so early? Stay with me a little longer."**
**He suffered from insomnia all the time but didn't expect that holding her would help him sleep so well.**
**Her body felt soft like jade in his arms; he wanted to hold onto her a little longer.**
**However, Ava dared not fall back asleep. She could feel Kylie waiting outside the door already. "I'll get up first; you can go back to sleep if you want. I need to do some housework."**
**Dominic closed his eyes again and pursed his lips slightly. "Don't we have enough maids at home? Why does Mrs Harrington have to do it?"**
**He thought Ava was Kylie until now but realized otherwise.**
**"I really need to get up." Ava freed herself from his embrace and sat upright on the bed before leaving the room quickly.**
**Dominic furrowed his brows slightly wondering why she left so fast like she was rushing somewhere even though he asked her to stay and sleep longer.**
**When Ava came out with her scar covered up, she saw Kylie's face darken. Pointing at the time, Kylie scolded, "Ava, it's already 6:05 am. Why did you sleep for an extra five minutes in my ****Honey****'s arms? Is his embrace too warm that you can't bear to leave?"**
**Ava felt like she had been exposed. She woke up early every day and never overslept but Dominic's embrace was so broad and warm that morning; she clung onto him tightly like an octopus.**
**"If you don't trust me so much next time, then don't let me sleep with your ****Honey****," Ava retorted.**
**"..."**
**Kylie was about to explode on the spot. She hadn't slept all night just thinking about how Ava lay in her ****Honey****'s arms made her go crazy.**
**But there were more important things to do now. "What perfume are you wearing? Hand it over."**
**Perfume?**
**"I'm not wearing any perfume," Ava replied confusedly.**
**Why did both Dominic and Kylie ask what perfume she wore?**
