Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Owen closed the door and turned, he saw Anita.
“Then I’ll go back first,” Anita said with a blush.
“I’m sorry about what happened today.” Owen was more or less sober after Zoey came, and he remembered about the contractual marriage. This was going to get awkward.

“It’s fine. By the way, I want to apologize to you. I hope you don’t mind what I said today. I think that no matter what kind of person you are, you’re very outstanding. You don’t have to care too much about what others
say,” Anita said to Owen sincerely.

“Thank you,” Owen said to Anita from the bottom of his heart as he listened.

After saying this, the burden in Anita’s heart was finally lifted and she felt relaxed. “Then I’ll go back first. Goodnight.”

“Good night, Anita,” Owen said while smiling at the amused Anita.

By the time they finally lay down on the bed, the day was finally over. She didn’t know how Owen felt, but Anita had a good night’s sleep.

When she woke up, it was already noon. She hurriedly got up from the bed.

“You’re awake? Where are you going?” Owen said while stopping her. Just as he came back from the airport, he saw Anita, who was about to leave the house in a panic.

“I’m going to see Mom and Dad off.” Anita didn’t bother to tidy herself up. She talked as she put on her shoes.

Owen looked amused. “I’ve already sent them to the airport. Don’t worry. Just pack up and let’s go out to dinner.”

“Ah… they have already left. Why didn’t they wait for me?” Hearing that they had already left, Anita slumped onto the sofa dejectedly.

“I told Mom you were too tired yesterday and hadn’t woken up yet, and they understood, so I went to see them off myself,” Owen said while also sitting down on the couch and smiling at Anita.
For a moment, Anita didn’t understand what Owen meant by that. When she recovered, she blushed. “Why… why would you say that? I’m not too tired. I just slept too late yesterday.”

“Really? How is being too tired different from sleeping too late?” Owen was in a good mood and couldn’t help but tease Anita.

“1… I’m not talking to you anymore. How can you be like this?” Anita also realized that what she had just said was a little inappropriate. No matter what she said, it didn’t seem right. Her face turned even redder.

Owen knew that Anita was very shy, so he stood up and walked over to her. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch her exposed neck. Then he said, “Okay, I’m just teasing you. They didn’t say anything. Aren’t you
hungry? Hurry up and eat.”

Anita had just felt a warm hand on her neck, but before she could savor the intimate gesture, Owen moved his hand away quickly.

Owen didn’t know why he’d suddenly put his hand on Anita’s neck. Maybe it was because Anita was just too cute, or maybe it was because her exposed neck looked too beautiful. Either way, Owen just couldn’t help but
put his hand on it.

“Let’s… let’s go.” Anita said nothing, but when she raised her head, her gaze became even more bashful.
Owen looked at Anita, who was already at the door, and then at his hands. He couldn’t help but smile as he walked over to Anita.

After breakfast, Anita went back to her room to catch up on sleep. It was just that even though poor Owen was on his honeymoon, there was still a lot of work to be done at the office, so he had to stay in the study to
catch up on his work progress.

When Anita groggily woke up, it was dark outside.
She got up and walked around the living room. She realized that the lights weren’t switched on, and only a little light could be seen through the door of the study.
Anita guessed that Owen might be inside, so she knocked softly on the door a few times, but no one responded.

Anita held the door handle of the study and thought about it for a while. In the end, she carefully pushed open the door of the study. As soon as the door opened, Anita was stunned for a moment. There was someone
sleeping on the desk. He looked exhausted. The lights weren’t even turned off.

No one even noticed him walking in.

Owen lay with his face on the table and his head on his forearm.

His glasses were right next to his hand, and there was a thick book under his eyes. Owen had fallen asleep. The room was so quiet that all she could hear was his breathing.
His back slowly rose and fell as he breathed. His clothes stuck to his back, and as he breathed, his sturdy back was outlined.

Anita was careful not to wake Owen up as she leaned closer to help him sort through his desktop.

There was a lot of information on the table, most of which was professional. It was a headache to look at.

Anita thought Owen looked better when he was asleep. This seemed to be the first time she’d seen him asleep. His eyelashes were long and he looked as obedient as a child.
Owen’s respiration rate suddenly changed.

He turned his head, and when he turned his head, he was even closer to Anita. The hot air that he breathed out hit her cheek..
