M remained motionless. She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. But the more she tried to
sleep, the more awake she felt. M was unaware of how much time had passed. She sumbed to
exhaustion and gradually drifted into sleep.
She lost track of how long she had been asleep when she felt a gentle hand turning her body.
A man''s careful touch trailed from her neck, moving cautiously as if afraid to wake her up.
While M was still half asleep, she felt herself nestled in the curve of an arm. Her eyelids were too
heavy, so she didn''t want to wake up.
She snuggled into the warm embrace. She adjusted to afortable position and drifted back to sleep.
In her dream, she felt a familiar scent lingering around, with a warm breath brushing against her face.
She embraced the warmth and slept soundly. The next morning, M woke up in Nathan''s arms.
As she opened her eyes, she realized she was nestled against him. Half of her body was draped over
him.
Their sleeping position was extremely intimate.
She had clearly slept with her back to himst night.
Why did she always move a lot in her sleep? She felt annoyed rather than greedy to bask in his warm
embrace. She quickly got out of his embrace.
Nathan was awakened by M''s movements. As he opened his eyes, he saw her walking toward the
door. She opened the door and left.
Nathan sat up. He lowered his head and covered his face with both hands before letting out a deep
sigh.
M went back to her room to freshen up. After she changed her clothes, she grabbed her bag before
leaving.
As she walked, she sent a message to Phoebe, "Are you awake? I have something to do this morning.
Join me."
Soon, Phoebe replied, "I just woke up. Wait a moment."
M replied, "Okay."
Walking downstairs, M saw Fenna, Duke, and La chatting in the living room.
Duke greeted M with a warm smile, "Chubs, good morning!"
Fenna and La''s expressions became gloomy as they looked at M.
Ever since she resumed her identity as Wanda, any contempt against her as Suzanne in Morrison
Residence had disappearedpletely. Now, everyone treated her with endless affection.
Just like when she was a child, Gary
and Florence treated her like
e
daughter. All the siblings in Morrison Residence also treated her like t
sister.
Except for Nathan.
their
M smiled politely in response to Duke''s greeting. She replied, "Morning, Duke, La."
She ignored Fenna and didn''t greet her.
Fenna also wore a stern expression.
Duke asked softly, "Why did you wake up so early today? Don''t you want to sleep a little longer?"
M shook her head and replied, "No, I have something to doter."
Duke pointed at the dining room. He said, "Go and have breakfast. Mrs. Seals made your favorite
oatmeal, shrimp rolls, and—"
La interrupted irritably, "Why are you so talkative? Did she ask you to list the dishes?"
Duke''s face suddenly turned grim as he felt reprimanded. He nced at La in fear though he felt
annoyed.
Then, he smiled at Phoebe who came down. He pointed at the dining table, inviting her to join the
breakfast.
M knew that La disliked her, so she didn''t want to make things
difficult for Duke. She gave Dubl nee
warm smile before walking toward the dining table.
After the staff brought breakfast, M ate quietly.
Soon, the rest of the family members started to wake up and join them.
Taylor was the first toe downstairs.
"Chubs, good morning!" Taylor greeted M with his loud voice when he hadn''t even finished walking
down the stairs.
Hepletely ignored the three people in the living room and then headed straight to the dining table.
His smile was gentle and bright.

The three people in the living room greeted him, but he seemed not to hear them. His gaze was fixed
on M who was at the dining table.
Raising her head, M wore a sweet smile. She greeted, "Taylor, good morning."
Taylor sat down in front of M. He showed concern, "How''s your recovery?"
M replied, "I''m recovering well."
