Feeling Touched

Next Day.

When Scarlett woke up in the morning, she found Xander still soundly asleep beside her. She couldn't recall the exact time he had joined her to sleep the previous night, as he had been occupied with meetings in several different countries and continents. 

It saddened Scarlett to witness how busy Xander was with his work, yet he still chose to stand by her side during this challenging period in her life.

She slowly moved, brought herself to his embrace, and closed her eyes, attempting to return to sleep. They had no plans to go anywhere that morning, so she decided to spend more time resting with him.

However, she felt Xander move slightly before she could drift back to sleep. When she gazed up at his face, she was greeted by his warm smile.

"Morning, babe," he greeted her with his hoarse voice that sounded really sexy.
