In a haze, Ruth Wilcox slowly awoke and the moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of deep eyes watching her.
He was sitting at the head of the bed, smiling softly.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ruth peeked under the covers, then quickly closed them again.
"I've made a fool of myself again..." Ruth's face turned a shade of crimson.
"No, you were very quiet last night."
"Thank you." Perhaps it was because of that time in Shanghai, but this time when she saw herself undressed, she wasn't scared or lost. Her underwear was still on her body.
Yusuf Zuck didn't touch her again.
That was what pleased her most, Yusuf Zuck had the manner of a gentleman, never improper!
"I'll go make breakfast. You take a shower," Yusuf Zuck patted her arm and got up to leave.
However, before Yusuf Zuck could stand up, Ruth suddenly grabbed his hand and looked at him intently, "I... I..." She opened her mouth as her eyes started to redden.
