Chapter 75 Soraya - Angela slept early . Soraya had tucked the little girl into Jacob's bed . 8 76 % D 0 +15 Soraya checked the time . It was still eight in the evening , so she used the time to check her stocks and forex trades . But after forty minutes , she yawned , already sleepy . How long are they staying ? " Soraya muttered . " Did Calum leave Sage ? " Soraya sent Sage a message , and her daughter replied quickly . Sage said : [ Mommy , I'm with Grandma and Grandpa .

] Sage took a picture of herself , showing that she was in the Montclair mansion . Soraya was familiar with every corner of that house , including the furniture . But in the picture , Soraya also noticed the matching bracelet on her daughter's wrist , the same one Rose had . Her daughter hadn't worn the bracelet when they were swimming at the beach during Melvin's birthday party . Perhaps Sage feared losing it . That's how much her daughter treasured the charm bracelet with Rose .

It still hurt , but strangely , it didn't hurt as much . Soraya didn't even need to count numbers or speak her mantra . She quickly sent Sage a message : [ Okay , well . I'm glad you're well . Sleep early and don't forget to eat healthy . Goodnight . ] Sage : [ Okay , Mommy . Goodnight . ] Soraya yawned again . Feeling more and more sleepy , she figured she'd cuddle with Angela . She didn't know when it happened , but she fell helplessly asleep .

When Soraya woke up next , the lights were already dimmed . She noticed Angela's little arms wrapped around her tightly , her cute little face buried against her chest . But it wasn't just Angela she saw . Jacob was there . He lay on his side , a plain white shirt stretching across his broad shoulders , the steady rhythm of his breathing almost hypnotic . In sleep , the sharpness of his features softened - the strong jaw relaxed , the faint line between his brows eased .

His short hair was slightly tousled , as though he'd run a hand through it before lying down , yet somehow , he still looked effortlessly , sinfully handsome . Soraya froze . Her eyes rounded in horror at the realization that she and Angela were sleeping in Jacob's bed ! ' Why didn't he wake me ? ' she asked herself . 1/4 13:16 Tue , 19 Aug Chapter 75 But then , she noticed Angela's hold on her tightened .

The little girl grumbled , " Mommy ." 76 % 0 +15 Soraya patted Angela's back , and the latter nuzzled deeper into her chest , her leg now circling Soraya like she was afraid she'd leave . ' Well , obviously Jacob didn't mind , ' Soraya told herself . ' This isn't an issue . ' Then she wondered if Calum and the others had left . She could check , but maybe it was safer there , in Jacob's bedroom . Besides , it didn't seem like Angela had any plans of letting her go .

So Soraya forced herself to sleep . It took a while . The thought of lying a meter away from Jacob made it difficult . In fact , she found herself sneaking glances at his handsome , athletic face through her lashes . But eventually , exhaustion kicked in , and Soraya found herself yawning again . She fell asleep , not knowing what would happen or what to expect . Soraya's breathing was calm . She noticed the steady rise and fall of her chest . She felt warm and safe .

Then , she noticed something else . Her pillow was rather hard , but comfortable . When she felt an arm around her back , her heart raced !. Soraya opened her eyes , and the first thing she saw was a man's body . She stilled . Then , she gulped . Slowly but steadily , she turned her head to see . Sure enough , she was sleeping on Jacob's chest ! Oh , how Soraya wanted to run - to hide under the blanket - but panicking wouldn't do her any good . That would only make her look guilty , right ?

' Where is Angela ? ' she wondered . ' Angela was supposed to be in the middle ! ' And how did she end up in Jacob's arms ? She had no idea . Sadly , Soraya could be a notoriously deep sleeper- recently even more so , thanks to her exhausting schedule . For all she knew , she could have rolled into his arms sometime during the night . ' Or ,' Soraya thought , ' Could Jacob have pulled me into his arms ? ' No , she scratched the idea . ' Why would he do that ?

' ' Calm down , Soraya , she told herself . ' Just slowly roll to the other side and pretend you're still sleeping . ' 2/4 13:16 Tue , 19 Aug Chapter 75 And so she followed her plan . First , she stretched and added a little moan to it . " Mmmm . " 76 % With her eyes closed , she slowly but surely rolled to the other side of the bed . She settled in , taking deep breaths and smiling over the fact that Jacob hadn't noticed . The next plan was to get out of bed .

But before she knew it , Jacob had rolled to her side and wrapped his arm around her ! -15 Soraya : "… " Now she didn't know what to do ! There were two options . One , react violently and make it very awkward for both of them . Or two , pretend to keep sleeping until he woke up first and realized what he had done . This was technically his fault now , not hers . When that happened , Soraya would just act like she had no idea they were in each other's arms . Easy plan .

Soraya decided on the latter . She closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep . However , an hour passed , and Jacob still hadn't woken up . How strange ! ' Is this normal ? What time is it? ' she thought . The Jacob she knew woke up as early as five in the morning ! Soraya decided that enough was enough . She turned to Jacob abruptly , and her movement probably woke him , because when she stared at him , he fluttered his eyes open . Jacob took a second to study her .

Then he calmly said , " Good morning . Had a good sleep ? " Soraya felt her face burn . For a second , no words left her parted lips . But soon , she explained their closeness . " Um . I think you ended up hugging me in your sleep . " A hint of amusement flickered in Jacob's eyes . His lips faintly curved upward as he replied , " It does look that way . I'm sorry . I guess this is my fault . " Then , he moved closer . His gaze deepened , voice low and velvety .

" How is it possible you wake up with messy hair and still look like you stepped out of heaven ?
