Chapter 101 You're Even More Frightening
Mary was taken aback as Matthew came out completely naked!
She exclaimed inwardly, 'What a pervert!'
Mary quickly turned her head and hurried to the closet, grabbing one of her towels and throwing it over him.
"Hurry up and put this on!"
The towel was pink, not very large, just enough to wrap around Matthew's waist. After securing it, Mary couldn't help but burst into laughter!
Seriously?
The sight of the tall and lean Matthew wrapped in a tight pink towel was just too comical.
Upon seeing her smile, Matthew's eyes softened slightly.
He went straight to the bed, pulled back the covers, and lay down.
Mary was startled, "What are you doing?"
"Sleeping," Matthew replied.
"Not here; this is my room!" Mary protested.
"You wanted close protection, didn't you?" Matthew retorted. "Is this close enough?"
Mary's smile faded, and her tone turned cold. "Matthew, this isn't fun."
"Noted," was his simple response.
Feeling powerless, Mary turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Matthew's magnetic voice sounded behind her.
"I'm going to sleep in another room," Mary replied.
After all, the house was large enough with many rooms.
"Aren't you afraid anymore?" Matthew asked.
"You're more frightening," Mary retorted.
As Mary left, Matthew's face lost its casual demeanor, a hint of darkness crossing his features.
Mary settled into a guest room. Despite the tidy surroundings, she couldn't fall asleep. When she was on the verge of drifting off, the gruesome image suddenly flashed before her eyes.
She felt afraid.
Covering her head with the blanket, she tossed and turned but couldn't sleep. Frustrated, she sat up and ran her hands through her hair.
Why could Matthew take over her bedroom?
Why did she have to hide?
Mary, expressionless, returned to the main bedroom. She saw Matthew lying on one side, apparently asleep with his eyes closed.
Unable to sleep due to torment, she was surprised that he could sleep so peacefully.
Mary walked to the other side of the bed and lay down. Then, with a swift motion, she pulled all the covers away!
Mary cursed in her heart, 'You should be freezing in the cold!'
The familiar bed and its scent calmed Mary's restless emotions. She felt sleep gradually envelop her as she closed her eyes comfortably.
In the darkness, Matthew opened his eyes and turned slightly, focusing on Mary's back as she lay facing away from him.
An unfamiliar emotion flickered in Matthew's heart, but he didn't dwell on it.
The next day, Mary woke up and realized she was in Matthew's embrace!
She was clinging to him like an octopus, her cheek against his chest, feeling the warmth of his muscles.
Startled, she moved slightly, then blushed deeply upon realizing her position.
Matthew was actually naked, and the towel had somehow slipped off!
In her short-sleeved pajamas and shorts, her smooth legs were resting on him.
Glancing at Matthew's face and seeing that he was still asleep, Mary breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew her legs.
However, her ankle was suddenly caught by Matthew's grip.
