Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO



Chapter 872 He Fell Asleep

Pierre brought Selena into his arms in one swift motion. "I've missed you so badly," he mumbled. Selena felt her cheeks turning pink when she saw their maids giggling by the side. "There are so many people here," she protested as she pushed him away.

"Why does that matter? Aren't you my wife?" Pierre tried to hug her again, but she ducked away from him. "Have you eaten?" she asked. "I had some food on the plane."

"We'll have to wake up early tomorrow. We should go to bed now," Selena muttered. Pierre quickly seized the opportunity to tease her. "Look at how anxious Miss Yard is!

We haven't met for a long while, so she's desperate to get me into a room with her now that we've finally reunited. Isn't she just shameless?"

All of the maids giggled even harder than before. Selena was furious, and she had raised her hand to strike Pierre. However, he noticed this and quickly slipped his hand into hers before leading her up to their room. Why is this guy such an annoying brat? Selena thought.

Once they got back to their bedroom, Selena headed over to check the temperature of the bathwater. She had prepared the water earlier to save them some time, and she even altered the settings to ensure that the water would be kept warm.

She had been fretting over the bathwater when Pierre tugged her close against his chest. "Hurry up and let me hug you now. You have no idea how much I've missed you." He planted a firm kiss against her neck after finishing his sentence.

"What are you doing?" she hissed.

"What is it? Do you feel like we've grown apart because of how long we haven't seen one another?" Pierre tightened his grip around her waist as he began to kiss her all over the face.

"Ugh! You're being annoying! My face is covered in your saliva!" She giggled as she reached a hand over to wipe her own face. Pierre couldn't care less about her complaints-all he knew then was how much he had missed her while they were apart.

"Alright. That's enough. You should take a quick shower and go to bed. We have to attend the wedding tomorrow. You're the only son-in-law of the Murray Family, so you have an important role to play. It wouldn't look good for my family if you were to show up looking groggy and exhausted."

"Your family? Since when did you become part of the Murray Family? You belong to the Fowler Family!" he uttered in a playful tone. "Stop fooling around. Go take your shower!" Selena replied with a laugh.

"I want you to clean me up," he replied. She sent him a glare-she knew that his words had an ulterior motive to it. "I'm not going to help you. Do it on your own!" she said.

Pierre no longer forced her to do anything after that. He had rushed over to the Murrays after a long day of work, and he felt rather tired himself. Selena prepared a new set of clothes and a fresh blanket for him, but he remained in the bathroom for a long while after he first shuffled his way to the bath.

She was shocked to see that he wasn't out even after one whole hour-Pierre typically preferred quick showers and would only use about five minutes. In fact, Selena used to wonder if he had just entered the bathroom to change his clothes without showering.

“Pierre! Pierre!” Selena called for him by the door, but she didn't get a response from inside. She eventually pushed the door open and let herself in as she was starting to get worried. "Pierre, you—” The sight of Pierre sleeping soundly in the bathroom left her dumbfounded.

He rested his head against the edge of the bathtub, and it was tilted slightly to the side, so Selena could see the contented expression on his face. She felt both sorry and amused by the sight of him in the tub. He must be exhausted. But... he can't sleep here all night.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Let's get into bed." She woke him up, and he drowsily brought himself out of the tub. Selena immediately dried his body with a towel before she led him to the bed. He didn't speak the entire time he was simply too sleepy to find the words.

There had been a number of issues he had to deal with at work, and he hadn't slept for the past three nights, ever since he got the notice to visit the Murrays. He had to rush and complete his work before he came over.

The wedding was the very next morning, and Selena got up early to help Jocelyn prepare for it. Since Savannah no longer had a family, they decided that there was no need to host an additional celebration meant for immediate family members only. They only focused on the official wedding dinner.

Both Jason and Savannah traveled by car to their hotel. Jason quickly realized how cold Savannah's hands were. "Don't worry. I'll be here the whole time,” he reassured her. "Okay," she said, smiling.
