Chapter 176
Barclay looked at Moira who was blushing from neck to face, and a smile appeared on his face.
Moira lowered her head and thought about whether the method of leaving the Earth was feasible. Naturally, she did not see Barclay’s smile.
The awkward atmosphere lasted for about half a minute. After Moira mentally prepared herself, she finally raised her head and looked at Barclay again. “I’m sorry, Mr. Covington. I didn’t expect that I would do such a thing while sleepwalking….
“I know I have offended you. No matter how much I apologize, it won’t help. How about this? Tell me a solution. As long as it’s legal and can vent your anger, I’ll do it.”
Moira added inwardly, ‘Any normal man would feel angry
woman suddenly came to his room, bit his ears, and kissed his collarbone at
midnight! Barclay did not beat me up last night, and he was merciful enough.“‘.
She sat up straight as if she would admit her mistake sincerely and focus her attention on her punishment.
Barclay did not say anything, his fingers tapping on the blanket beside him.
“As long as it’s legal?”
Moira nodded. “As long as it’s within my strength and legal, I’ll do it.”
“Alright,” Barclay replied indifferently. “Then come closer.”
Moira was confused. She thought, ‘Is he going to hit me? Forget it. No one asked me to be so presumptuous.‘
She blinked and hesitated for a moment before biting the bullet and leaning closer to Barclay.
The distance between them shortened in an instant, and the familiar fragrance became stronger.
Moira grabbed the hem of her pajama, her breathing a little rapid. “And then?”
After saying that, she waited for a while, but Barclay did not move. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw him staring at her with a deep
gaze.
Moira’s heart skipped a beat. Barclay’s eyelids lifted slightly, and in the next second, he said, “I don’t need you to do anything, but I like…”
He paused for a moment. Under Moira’s puzzled gaze, he bent down and pressed his thin lips on her collarbone.
His thin lips parted as soon as they touched her collarbone.
“I like doing the same thing in return.”
Moira’s mind went blank once again. She sat there motionlessly like a block of wood.
Barclay glanced at her. “Do you still want to occupy my bed?”
His words made Moira come back to her senses, and she quickly got off the bed. “I… I’ll leave now!”
With that, she ran back to her room without even putting on her slippers.

Chapter 176
Barclay looked at Moira’s back which quickly disappeared from the door, his gaze becoming more and more meaningful.
Could Moira escape from him?
No way.
Moira returned to her room and locked the door. She lay on the bed and stared at the white ceiling. She raised her hand to touch the collarbone that Barclay had just kissed.
Why did he kiss her?
He said he liked “reciprocity.”
She was the one who started it.
Moira had never found that she had so many problems until she was living in the same house as Barclay.
Should she go to a psychiatrist?
It was the first time in her life that she had sleepwalked!
At the thought of that, the shame and embarrassment in Moira’s heart faded a lot. She took her phone and sent a message to Juliet: [Juliet, do I sleepwalk at night?]
Juliet woke up early in the morning. When she walked out of the bathroom and was going to sleep again, she received Moira’s message. She was stunned and replied: [When did you sleepwalk at night?]
After that, Juliet got the main point and sent another message: [How did you know you would sleepwalk? What exciting thing happened last night? Hurry up and confess!]
