Timothy’s black eyes narrowed slightly and his voice was deep. “Are you going to sleep already?”
“Yeah...” Was it not obvious enough?
Something seemed off though. What did he mean by asking that kind of question?
Samantha pursed her lips lightly and said, “Timothy, there’s only one small bed in this ward for the caregiver, and this is where I’m going to sleep. You can see just how small the bed is so only one person can sleep on it. If you want to stay, you can sleep on the sofa.”
She was determined to hang on to her little bed and she was not going to let Timothy have it!
After a few seconds, a touch of cunning flashed in Samantha’s eyes and she feigned kindness when she said, “Timothy, if you feel that sleeping on the sofa is too humiliating, you can go back to your villa or your hotel suite and sleep in a comfortable bed there!”
Timothy’s lips twitched.
She really was doing everything in her power to make him leave!
He snapped the lid of his laptop shut, moved it away, then stood up.
Samantha raised an eyebrow. Was Timothy leaving because he could not bear to face such humiliation?
It would be good if he left. Then she could sleep peacefully!
However, the man took slow steps to her and stood beside the small bed.
His huge shadow enveloped Samantha, causing her heart to tremble suddenly. “You...”
Her first instinct was to sit up, but Timothy’s palm pressed down on her shoulder and pushed her right back onto the bed.
Timothy’s touch caused Samantha’s body to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes widened in horror and she struggled to get up from the other side of the small bed.
The man’s big palm clasped her slender wrist and pulled her back effortlessly. At the same time, he went into bed, leaned down, and firmly trapped Samantha under him.
Samantha’s hands were pressed to either side of her cheeks while her feet were pressed down by his knees, preventing her from making any movements. The fear under her eyes slowly began to surface.
“Timothy, you...you j-just promised me that y-y-ou wouldn’t do anything to me!” she stammered as she said.
Timothy’s body loomed over Samantha and his dark eyes stared deeply at her.
He was very rarely able to see Samantha’s emotions with clarity, but at that moment, he could distinctly see her resistance toward him and her unabashed fear of him.
The dim glow in Timothy’s eyes continued to tumble and it felt as though something gripped his heart fiercely, making him breathless.
Samantha used to act so boldly in front of him, but at that moment, she had shrunk into an overly frightened cat.
Timothy closed his eyes, and when he next opened them, whatever emotions deep within had all but disappeared.
His thin lips moved coldly. “I won’t do anything to you. Now sleep!”
He lay back down as soon as he said that.
Samantha was speechless and remained stunned for about half a minute before realizing that Timothy was not going to do anything to her. Rather, he wanted to sleep too, but on the small bed with her instead of on the sofa!
As expected of Timothy, he could not bear any mistreatment at all!
The bed was already very small to begin with and Samantha could barely fit there alone. With the addition of the 186-centimeter-tall Timothy, half of Samantha’s body was lying on his and both their bodies were in intimate contact with each other.
Such a posture was just too ambiguous and dangerous. Samantha was anxious to get up.
She gave up and surrendered! She would not fight with him but would go to sleep on the sofa instead!
As soon as she moved, however, Timothy’s hand tightened around her waist and the man’s low, threatening voice rang from above her head. “If you move again, I can’t promise that I won’t do anything to you!”
Samantha’s body froze immediately and she did not dare to move again!
She did not doubt what Timothy said at all. After all, there was nothing that scumbag did not dare to do!
Samantha was nevertheless still very resentful and chided angrily, “Didn’t you say that I think too highly of myself? Everything that comes out of a man’s lips is a lie.”
He pretended to disdain her and yet he ended up threatening her again!
She was clearly muttering that to herself but Timothy’s ears were very sharp. He lowered his gaze and looked at Samantha’s puffed-out face. An inexplicable smile rose from the corners of his lips and he replied lazily, “Why should I refuse when you’re the one throwing yourself into my arms? This is a man’s instinct!”
When did she throw herself into his arms?
Samantha could not help but grind her teeth. She really wanted to tear apart that rascal’s nonsensical mouth!
Unfortunately, she had no strength to be tussling with him anymore and could not possibly win against him in an argument. In the end, she would only get angry with herself. Samantha did her best to turn around in his arms and turn her back on him. Then, with her body already at the edge of the bed, she proceeded to close her eyes.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Timothy looked at Samantha’s nape. Even though her back was facing him at that moment, at the very least she was in his arms.
He tightened his grip unconsciously.
Samantha initially thought that she would not be able to sleep. She did not know if it was because she was too tired the day before or whether there were other reasons, but her eyelids gradually became heavier and she eventually fell into a deep sleep.
The ward fell silent.
Timothy did not fall asleep. He kept his eyes open and looked at the woman in his arms.
Hearing her breathing becoming slower and steadier, his heart seemed to calm down too. He unconsciously propped up his upper body slightly, lowered his head, then planted a light yet loving kiss on the woman’s forehead.
After that, he lay back down in satisfaction and closed his eyes.
…
At the doorway.
Through the crack of the door, Penelope—who had witnessed everything that happened in the ward—stared in disbelief and retreated step after step.
She was about to charge into the room after following Samantha, but immediately halted her footsteps when she saw Timothy in the ward.
Due to the distance, she could not hear what Timothy and Samantha were talking about, but she could clearly see them sleeping together and even saw Timothy kissing Samantha so affectionately while Samantha was asleep.
At that moment, she thought she was seeing things.
Despite being with Timothy for the past two years, Timothy had never treated her like that. He never hugged or kissed her, and she always thought that his reluctance to be in contact with others was because of his indifferent nature and his clean freak tendencies. As it turned out, men were all the same.
After all, was there any man who did not like women?
Actually, that might not be the case either. Samantha had to be shameless enough to blind Timothy’s eyes using some kind of trick.
She knew that Samantha and Sheena were the same and conspired with each other—one seduced Timothy, while the other seduced Justin!
It was no surprise then that Penelope’s plan failed during the wedding anniversary and her mother would end up getting so mad at Sheena. Timothy started to ignore Penelope after that and she was turned away mercilessly whenever she went to look for him at the Barker Group.
That was all Samantha’s plan. It was a conspiracy to separate Penelope from Timothy so she could assume Penelope’s position!
After figuring everything out, Penelope’s expression sank thoroughly. Her gaze was infinitely hostile as she glared at Samantha on the hospital bed!
