The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485

That evening, Sean came over to Charlotte’s villa to have dinner with her.

Petra was already used to this and quietly made herself scarce right after the meal.

After showering, the two of them lay together in bed.

Surprisingly, Sean was unusually restrained that night.

Charlotte teased, “Wow, holding back tonight?”

Şean smiled. “I have an important meeting early tomorrow. Can’t overindulge.”

Charlotte let out a soft laugh. “Then maybe we just end things early and go to sleep.”

Sean pulled her into his arms. “End early? You’re underestimating me. Once we start, we won’t be done until after midnight.”

Charlotte wriggled under the covers. “Let’s just sleep. Good night.

Sean propped himself up on one elbow and looked at her. “I’m not really tired yet. Can’t fall asleep.”

From under the covers, Charlotte peeked up at him with wide, doe–like eyes. “Huh? Then what do you want to do?”

Smiling, Sean said, “How about you put me to sleep?”

“Me?” Charlotte blinked. “You want me to put you to sleep?”

“Yeah. You always made me do it. You’ve never returned the favor

Charlotte let out a soft snort. “How old are you? Still need someone to lull you to sleep like a baby?”

Sean’s voice was lazy and teasing. “I’m telling you, I can’t sleep. So either you help me fall asleep… or…”

His dark eyes gleamed with mischief as he added, “We could always work out a little. Tire ourselves out until after midnight. I don’t mind running on less sleep tomorrow.”

Charlotte nearly choked. “Fine. I’ll help you sleep.”

Definitely the easier option.

Especially since she had a court hearing at nine the next morning. Staying up half the night messing around was not ideal.

With a sigh of surrender, she asked, “How exactly do you want me to help?”

Sean’s voice was smooth and relaxed. “Tell me a story.”

Charlotte gave him a look. “Seriously? A bedtime story? You’re a grown man.”

Still, she pulled out her phone and started searching for one.

Sean settled in and closed his eyes, his voice low and warm in her ear. “Your voice is nice. I don’t really care about the story. I just want to fall asleep listening to you.”

“Alright,” Charlotte said, and began to read.

Charlotte cleared her throat dramatically. “Okay, here’s one. Why did the scarecrow win an award?”

Sean raised a brow. “Why?”

“Because he was outstanding in his field!” she giggled uncontrollably. “Get it? Outstanding? In his field?”

Sean opened his eyes and gave her a side glance. “You’re seriously laughing at your own joke?”

“Why aren’t you laughing? That was clever! Ugh, tough crowd. Let me try another one.”

She scrolled through her phone. “Alright, what do you call a cow with no legs?”

Sean sighed but played along. “What?”

“Ground beef!” Charlotte burst into another fit of laughter. “Come on, that one’s gold!”
