Chapter 32 What Are We

• Victoria's POV
• I blinked my eyes as the morning sun streamed through the window and flashed into my eyes. With a grunt, I slowly opened my eyes and felt a body pressing against me. Curious, I looked sideways and saw Bernard sleeping beside me. He was sleeping so soundly that he didn't notice me waking up. With a smile, I stared at his sleepy face, disheveled hair, and couldn't stop myself from smiling. He looks so adorable while sleeping, and I couldn't suppress the urge to lift my hand and caress his beard. I moved away from his beard and gently ran my fingers along his cheeks before moving up to his hair, which was scattered all over his face. Slowly, I brushed his hair away from his face, giving me the opportunity to see his handsome face.
• “Gosh, he is so handsome,” I spoke to myself, but it came out loud, and I heard him release a soft chuckle from his lips. Oops, he was awake. He slowly opened his eyes and held my gaze, giving me the chance to see his sleepy, sexy eyes. “Good morning, babe,” he greeted and pulled me closer to himself. I smiled and tried to wiggle myself away from his grip, but he held me tighter and placed a kiss on my cheek before pulling away. Faking a frown, I moved away from the bed and stood up on my feet. I checked the time and saw that it was already 9 AM. With a sigh, I put on my slippers and looked at Bernard, who was lying on the bed and had a lustful gaze fixed on me. “What?” I asked with a frown. He didn't respond; instead, he left the bed and walked over to me.
