Julian Sterling Doesn't Have an Ex-Girlfriend

Last night she'd been wearing long-sleeved, long-legged pajamas, wrapped up from head to toe, and tonight she was all dressed up instead!

Claire Bennett had no idea Julian Sterling had already slapped that label on her. Just now, after learning that he was one of the girls, she had completely let down her guard around him.

She even sighed inwardly. If she'd known his true nature earlier, why would she have spent so long feeling awkward?

Julian Sterling looked away, not taking Claire Bennett's little trick seriously at all.

With an indifferent expression, he stood up, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Claire Bennett lay down on the bed, thoughtfully leaving Julian Sterling plenty of space.

Maybe because dealing with Ethan Sterling today had made her too mentally tense, she quickly fell asleep.

When Julian Sterling came out after his shower, what he saw was her sleeping soundly.

The woman was lying on her side, her body slightly curled up, looking very well-behaved.

Because she was on her side, her chest was slightly compressed, making the view in front even more spectacular, with a sense that it was about to spill right out.

He hadn't expected Claire Bennett to have such a good figure.

Looking at the scene before him, Julian Sterling suddenly felt a wave of heat rise through his body.

Did Claire Bennett secretly tamper with tonight's food?

Otherwise, why would he feel desire for her?

Julian Sterling's brows knitted tightly. The more he tried to suppress the heat and impulse, the more it felt as though his reason were being burned away.

He took a deep breath, then turned and went back into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

By the time he came out again, the fire in his body had died down.

Julian Sterling lay down beside Claire Bennett in annoyance. He slept stiffly straight, keeping far away from Claire Bennett, not touching her in the slightest.

In a hazy daze, he fell asleep.

An hour later, Julian Sterling opened his deep eyes in the darkness.

Whenever he closed his eyes, the image that surfaced in his mind was Claire Bennett in that camisole. There was no way he could fall asleep, especially with the faint breathing of the person beside him making it impossible to ignore her.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly got out of bed and walked into the living room.

The next morning, Claire Bennett opened her eyes and sat up in bed. Julian Sterling was no longer beside her. When she reached over, the spot was cold too, so it seemed he had been up for a long time.

After getting up and walking into the living room, she was surprised to see him sleeping on the couch.

Julian Sterling was far too tall for it, his body extending well past the length of the sofa. It could barely hold him at all; a slight turn and he might fall off. His absurdly long legs were hanging in midair, making him look a little pitiful.

Claire Bennett walked over and looked at him from up close. Julian Sterling's eyelashes were very long, resting lightly over his eyelids. There were faint shadows beneath his eyes, as though he hadn't slept well.

Why was he here?

Had he slept here all last night?

Claire Bennett went back to the room and took a thin blanket, wanting to cover him with it. Unexpectedly, the moment she had just draped it over him, Julian Sterling opened his eyes!

He grabbed her hand. Claire Bennett had already been leaning over, so she fell right onto him.

Claire Bennett panicked. Even if he had some psychological issues, he was still a man after all. She struggled desperately, trying to get away from him, but the more flustered she became, the more she embarrassed herself.

Her hands pressed and groped all over Julian Sterling's chest, instantly waking him up completely!

Men were already easily aroused in the morning, and Claire Bennett kept moving all over him. With a soft, warm woman in his arms, it was nothing short of infernal torture, the kind that could kill!

"Don't move!" Julian Sterling had no choice but to reach out and hold her down.

His voice carried the husky rasp of just waking up, so sexy it made her ears go weak.

Claire Bennett felt that his gaze was terrifying, so deep it was as if he wanted to devour her, and she didn't dare move recklessly anymore.

She said awkwardly, "I was just trying to cover you with a blanket."

Julian Sterling took a deep breath, and only after quite a while did he calm his impulse. He reached out to support Claire Bennett and help her stand up.

Claire Bennett didn't even know where to put her hands and feet. Even though she had confirmed that Julian Sterling was the same kind as her, what had just happened was still too embarrassing, and a faint flush appeared on her cheeks.

"Y-you... why were you sleeping in the living room?"

Julian Sterling's face darkened.

Why was he sleeping in the living room? Wasn't it because Claire Bennett had tried every possible way to seduce him last night? Otherwise, why would he have come out to sleep in the living room!

And now this woman was still putting on an innocent face and asking him the reason.

Seeing Julian Sterling's gloomy expression, Claire Bennett asked cautiously, "Last night, while I was half asleep, I felt like you went to the bathroom a lot. Are you not feeling well?"

Julian Sterling let out a cold snort and turned to walk into the room.

Looking at his cold, aloof back, Claire Bennett looked completely baffled.

Why had this man suddenly gotten angry?
