Novel1Chapter 425 When Angela woke up, the room was utterly silent. She felt like she was being held in someone's embrace, a weight pressing on her chest, making her uncomfortable.
"You're up?" Dexter's deep voice, filled with satisfaction, cfrom right beside her.
Angela froze. She instinctively wanted to turn and sit up, but she was firmly held in his strong arms, unable to move.
"I... I'm a little thirsty. I want to get swater." She avoided looking at his face. Her voice carried a hint of unease.
"Hmm." Dexter stood up and turned away from her to pour a glass of water.

His broad shoulders, trim waist, defined abs, and long legs were striking. But the most captivating feature was his face with sharp features, a chiseled jawline, and icy eyes that exuded indifference. He was absolutely stunning.
Angela couldn't shake off the wild memories of last night and suddenly realized how much she had overlooked. With such a perfect man right in front of her, she had completely failed to appreciate him.
"Wipe your drool." Dexter returned with a glass of water, casually holding it while looking down at her with a casual, condescending gaze.
Angela felt embarrassed and quickly looked away. She took a sip from the glass and almost choked. Without hesitation, Dexter sat beside her on the bed with his arms crossed, looking at her thoughtfully.
She felt a little self-conscious. "What? Is there something on my face?" It was only then that she realized that she wasn't exactly dressed either. She was only wearing a thin camisole that barely covered anything, and her delicate skin and the hickeys on her chest were clearly visible.
He remained silent, but his gaze carried a hint of complexity.
Angela glanced at her phone and was surprised to see that it was only a little past six. It was not even tfor her to get up yet.
"I... I'm going to sleep a bit more. Make yourself comfortable." With that, she shoved the glass into his hand and slipped back under the covers.
Dexter sat silently at the head of the bed, appearing deep in thought. He clearly understood everything. Her thoughts and feelings were completely transparent to him. He knew that she wanted to give up on him. Św Yet, he couldn't let it go. His heart was already hers, and maybe, he would never get it back in this lifetime. So be it. He would cherish the remaining days they had together.
That evening after work, Austin called Angela, asking for her final answer.
On the other end of the line, Angela remained silent for a long time, unsure of how to respond.

"That was just his game, and you're the only one foolish enough to fath for it." Austin retorted coldly, each word a sharp accusation against the person she used to be. Angela was momentarily at a loss for words. After being suppressed for so long, she felt unable to stand her ground around Austin.
"You need to figure out what you truly want and who's more important. But for now, just get through this situation first." Mia sighed lightly.
Angela was about to respond when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw of her ever Dexter coming downstairs. Thus, she quickly held back the words. "Cwith me." Dexter seemed to have something to discuss with her.
Angela felt uneasy. After all this time, it was the first tshe had ever felt this way in front of him.
He said calmly, "Austin called me.
know you're in a difficult position also right now. But I also know that deep down, Imatter to you. And that alone is more than enough for me."
