Chapter 117: Let’s Sleep

Lethia was taken aback by Zeran’s question. Hadn’t she been blunt enough all this time? Or... had she not?

The truth was, what made her uncomfortable wasn’t anything he did, but the way his presence stirred something inside her, like another fox had taken over her body.

Yes, that was it. Zeran’s pull on her body felt almost identical to when the lost fox took control.

But how the hell could she say that out loud, when it was him who clearly rejected her touch last night, even though she wanted him?

And now that she thought about it, no wonder her irritation had been boiling over every time she looked at him today.

"Your very being is what makes me uncomfortable. But since I have to be stuck with you, do I even have a choice to feel comfortable?" Lethia huffed and turned her face away.

"Is getting your ranch back your only goal?"

"Why ask the obvious!?" she snapped, baring her teeth.

"Then accept the money. Use it to pay back your ex-husband. Are you preparing your cards to humiliate him publicly? That’s the first gate to cracking his power, and I’ll take over from there."

Zeran, unsurprisingly, wasn’t exactly the sensitive type. The only way he’d understand Lethia’s frustration over being left high and dry last night was if she spelled it out to his face.

But no. She wasn’t going to stoop that low.

She took a deep breath. "About that... I found something new," she said.

Lethia finally told him everything about the pregnant women’s clinic and the brothel bills. Her unexpected meeting with Lana and all the strange things about Lana’s behaviour. She didn’t hold anything back.

And, just as she expected, Zeran was actually a good listener. He wore that serious expression the whole time, absorbing every word she said.

"So, you’re going to play one of those cards during his campaign?" he asked.

"Depends on what I will find out," Lethia muttered, pausing as her gaze slid over to Zeran.

"I won’t let you go back to the countryside alone." His clipped tone left no room for negotiation.

"Oh God... I need to hear it directly from Teressa. I can’t reach her by phone."

"I can find her and bring her here if you want."

Lethia rolled her eyes. "I miss my hometown. I miss my dad. I miss the fresh air of the place that should be my home. I—" Her voice caught, breath hitching, the sob nearly bursting through her throat.

She looked straight into Zeran’s eyes. "Please..."

His jaw tightened. "When will you go? I’ll accompany you."

Lethia blinked, confused. She had expected him to tell her to bring a whole damn van of bodyguards, not that he would come with her himself. That... was unexpected.

"Um..." She hesitated for a moment.

"Let’s go after the doctor’s appointment. I’ve arranged your prenatal check-up for next week."

Lethia only nodded, agreeing to his plan.

"Miss, I’ve prepared warm water and your favourite aromatherapy essence in the bath. You can use it now," Vonda, the butler, appeared at the edge of the room, smiling politely and offering a small bow before disappearing again.

Zeran gave her a nod, tilting his head toward the stairs, silently telling her to go up to her room.

As Lethia climbed the staircase, she cast one last glance over her shoulder, wondering if Zeran would follow her. But no—he was just heading to his own room, and she let out a quiet sigh.

’You need to stop with whatever you think Lethia!Dear baby, your father’s as emotionally dense as an ancient eunuch—he could actually become one if he wanted to, so don’t blame me too much, okay?’

The moment she opened the bathroom door, a wave of lavender aromatherapy hit her senses.

The warm steam rising from the tub drew her in instantly, and without wasting a second, Lethia stripped off her clothes.

Heat crept slowly up her body as she stepped into the bath, one foot at a time..

The warmth, mingled with the calming scent, melted the tension in her muscles—something she desperately needed after the emotional chaos of the day.

She closed her eyes, refusing to let her heart soften at the thought of Lana’s condition.

As long as she could get her ranch back, Lethia didn’t care about what happened to the people who wronged her.

And yet... Lana’s last words still echoed in her mind. That part—she hadn’t shared it with Zeran yet.

Her eyes fluttered open, and her hands, which had been methodically scrubbing her skin, froze on her thigh as Zeran’s name surfaced in her thoughts.

Should she really marry him just because of the heat his pup triggered in her?

He said it was important for the baby’s health.

But why did it have to be marriage?

Couldn’t they just surrender to the desire without the marriage bond?

Lethia dunked her face into the water, embarrassed by how out of control her feelings were.

After finishing her bath, she dried herself off with a towel.

Her breasts felt so tender and overly sensitive. She kept massaging them to ease the ache, but it was no use. The heat pooling low in her belly only grew more insistent.

She wanted to take her medicine, but Zeran had forbidden it.

The last time she looked for the heat suppressant pills, they’d disappeared.

She was certain he had thrown them out—he kept mentioning it would be bad for the baby. But then, why was he so damn irresponsible with the aftermath?

After wearing her sleepwear, Lethia stepped out of the bathroom and flinched when she saw Zeran already sitting on her bed, casually scrolling through his tablet.

"W–what are you doing here?" she stammered.

Zeran paused, his gaze settling on her. She was wearing a sheer sleepwear—one that made it blatantly clear she had nothing underneath.

He frowned, visibly confused, trying not to show how flustered he actually was.

Why were all her sleepwear like that? He had specifically asked Vonda to buy her something comfortable, but this was making him anything but comfortable.

"Let’s sleep. Your body must still be in unresolved heat since yesterday," he said plainly.

Lethia’s eyes flicked anxiously between the wardrobe and the bed, torn between changing or just lying down.

She’d chosen this sleepwear precisely because it was thin and breathable—perfect for when her body overheated mid-sleep.

Not wearing underwear just made it even cooler on her skin.

But something inside her snapped. Her eyes narrowed as she studied Zeran, who appeared completely unaffected by her appearance.

Straightening her spine, she walked toward the bed with purpose and lay down beside him, her body curled to face his.

"Let’s sleep."
