Chapter 303: Chapter 303: One sheep, two sheep...

Hope Williams watched as Waylon Lewis picked up her pillow and moved to the sofa, his silhouette looking rather forlorn.

Seeing him like that, she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Their little scuffle had banished all her sleepiness.

When Waylon Lewis finished washing up and came out, he saw Hope Williams, still very awake, leaning on the bed. Her clear eyes were watching him, and Waylon raised an eyebrow intrigued.

Caught stealthily watching him, Hope Williams embarrassingly pulled up the blanket and immediately obediently lied down to sleep.

Like a child caught not napping during naptime, panicky and flustered.

A hint of amusement flashed through Waylon’s eyes as he walked over and gently patted the blanket.

"Aren’t you sleeping?"

"I am, I am," came a muffled response from beneath the blanket.

Waylon curled his lips into a smile. To prevent himself from getting riled up by her again, he returned to his own sofa and casually lay down.

But Waylon didn’t fall asleep. The room, lit only by a small night light, was very quiet, so quiet that he could hear Hope Williams, restless and turning over in bed.

"Waylon Lewis~" Hope Williams poked her head out from under the blanket and softly called out to Waylon Lewis.

"Mhm," Waylon responded cooperatively, "What’s up?"

"Are you asleep?"

"I am."

Hope Williams rolled out of bed, grabbed her blanket, ran towards Waylon Lewis, and quickly lay down on the sofa, snuggling into his embrace in one smooth motion.

Waylon looked down at the small woman who had cozily entered his arms, surprised.

"What are you doing?"

"I just caused a fuss, and now I can’t fall asleep," Hope said weakly.

Waylon looked at the small woman with a somewhat helpless indulgence, stretched out his arm to pull her a bit closer into his embrace to prevent her from falling off, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Be good, close your eyes and you’ll fall asleep."

Hope Williams snuggled in Waylon’s arms contentedly, feeling very secure in his embrace to which she had grown attached.

"Waylon, are you asleep?"

"No."

"What should I do if I can’t sleep?"

"Count sheep."

"You count them, I want to listen to your voice," Hope said in a soft, sweet voice that tickled Waylon’s heart.

Waylon swallowed, pressed her head back into his chest, and held her tighter.

"Close your eyes."

"Okay!" Hope obediently closed her eyes.

Initially, she didn’t expect Waylon Lewis would actually count sheep for her, considering it quite a childish thing for someone like him to do.

But the next moment, she heard his low, dulcet, magnetic voice begin to sound, "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep..."

Nestled in Waylon’s arms, Hope Williams’s eyes shimmered with surprise, her lips unconsciously curling into a smirk as she quietly restrained her laughter. Shifting to find a comfortable position, she soon fell asleep.

Waylon held the girl with the steady breathing in his arms, his eyes brimming with undeniable love.

He shifted slightly to gently rise, carefully picked her up, and placed her back into bed. He tucked her in and then slid into the covers himself, pulling her back into his embrace and whispering, "Good night, sweetheart."

...

The next morning, Hope Williams awoke, lazily stretching herself. She had slept comfortably through the night, dreamlessly.

No, she had dreamt of Waylon Lewis counting sheep for her all night long. She truly hadn’t anticipated that he would do so, and Hope Williams smiled softly, filled with happiness.

"What are you giggling about so early in the morning?" A deep and slightly hoarse voice sounded beside her.

Taken aback, Hope Williams turned her head to look at the person beside her, her eyes widening. She was caught being lovesick and felt a bit embarrassed. "When did you wake up?"

"Two minutes before you started laughing."

"..."

Waylon Lewis curled his lips into a smile and pulled her back into his arms, "Aren’t you sleeping anymore?"

"No more sleep. You have to go to work, so can you get off at five in the afternoon?" Hope Williams vividly remembered they had a wedding photoshoot scheduled. Girls might say they don’t care, but actually, they look forward to it quite a bit.
