Chapter 2692 - 165: Embracing Through the Night
Tonight, Molly Wellington not only didn’t leave, but also slept in Abraham Redington’s king-size bed.
There were originally other rooms on the third floor; she used to sleep there. This was her first time in two and a half years, in a conscious state, sharing a bed with Abraham Redington.
Originally, Molly Wellington was angry because of Abraham Redington’s deceit in taking a cold shower, and was prepared to leave.
But whenever she showed signs of leaving, Abraham Redington would pull her back and hold her tight.
He held her tightly, keeping her in his embrace throughout the night, never letting go.
To be honest, this made Molly Wellington sleep quite uncomfortably.
Because Abraham Redington’s arms were really holding her too tightly.
Like two iron chains, tightly wrapped around her waist, even if she wanted to loosen a bit, he wouldn’t let her.
She had an inexplicable illusion, always felt that Abraham Redington’s way of holding her was as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
This feeling was as if Abraham Redington was a child lacking a sense of security.
No, she must be overthinking.
He is Abraham Redington, that cold-hearted and sharp-tongued man.
He would never lack a sense of security... Molly Wellington told herself, he was just lonely and melancholic because he was sick.
Many people are like this, when they’re sick, they become especially vulnerable and want company.
Yes, that’s it, just consider it as doing charity.
Thinking this way, in the second half of the night, Molly Wellington finally fell asleep.
When the woman’s breathing in his arms gradually steadied, the man holding her slowly loosened his arms.
Abraham Redington lowered his head, his deep blue gaze quietly fell on that face sleeping unknowingly and peacefully.
This peace not only appeared on Molly Wellington’s face but also originated from Abraham Redington’s mindset at this moment.
After holding Molly Lewis, his heart finally felt grounded and peaceful.
This feeling was much more comfortable than holding her when she had a fever and was unconscious a few days ago.
Because that time, Molly was in an unconscious state.
Whereas this time, it was ’voluntary’.
Her willingness to stay was the best progress.
"Molly..." The man murmured hoarsely, kissing lightly by her ear, "I love you."

The next day, when Molly Wellington woke up, her entire body felt relaxed and comfortable.
From taking care of Abraham Redington these days, she was always worried about his physical condition, fearing he might have recurring fevers at night, so she often had to get up to check on him, causing her not to sleep well.
However, last night, she slept beside him, tightly wrapped in his embrace.
Without needing to worry about getting up at night to check on him, being held by that safe and broad embrace, she unknowingly slept until naturally waking up.
"Hmm..." Molly Wellington instinctively stretched, her left hand reached the bed beside her, suddenly feeling something was off.
She paused for a moment and looked beside her, only to find that there was no one there.
Where is Abraham Redington?
Why is he not here!
In Molly Wellington’s mind, Abraham Redington was still a patient.
He had been having fevers for several days in a row, the doctor advised bed rest, how could he be out of bed, how could he disappear!
Quickly bouncing up from the bed, Molly Wellington searched the entire third floor but didn’t see Abraham Redington’s figure.
Where is Abraham Redington?
Where did he run off to!
Could it be—
Molly Wellington’s gaze instinctively looked towards the stairway; if the entire third floor was empty, perhaps he went downstairs.
Not knowing why, Molly Wellington felt inexplicably flustered inside.
That feeling was very similar to two and a half years ago.
After finishing the college entrance exams, she learned Brother Charlie liked someone and was ready to disclose it to her godmother and make things public with Abraham Redington.
When she finally prepared herself and decided to take that step, that man said he couldn’t marry her.
The current situation isn’t actually anything like back then; she and Abraham Redington aren’t anything.
But at this moment, she just inexplicably recalled that year.
Even though Molly Wellington told herself to stay calm and composed, she still couldn’t help but think off track.
Perhaps, she shouldn’t have stayed last night, shouldn’t have let Abraham Redington hold her like that.
Abraham Redington held her and then disappeared.
Is that so?
