Chapter 1424: I Can Sleep on the Floor

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: I Can Sleep on the Floor

It’s really late.

After all the fuss, it’s almost six in the morning.

The fifty-square-meter apartment is all one bedroom and one living room — only one bedroom.

Scarlett Yates glanced at the sofa in the living room: "Knox Simmons, do you have any extra blankets?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Her eyes turned, and just by asking this, Knox knew what she was thinking.

He chuckled and rubbed her head: "Scarlett, you sleep in the bedroom, and I’ll sleep on the sofa."

"It’s not quite right," Scarlett shook her head, "I’ll sleep in the living room. That sofa is just the right size for me."

The room is small, so the living room is naturally small too, and the sofa is at most two meters. The width is just enough for one person. With her height and weight, it’s perfect for her to sleep on, but Knox is almost 1.9 meters tall. It would be uncomfortable for him to curl up there — he’d have to be careful even turning over, or he’d fall off the sofa.

Tonight, she had already troubled him enough, having him pick her up in the middle of the night and even cook for her.

Now, she didn’t feel comfortable taking over the only bedroom.

"What are you talking about?" Knox frowned, took her hand, and led her into the bedroom, "Even if I don’t know how to pursue women, I wouldn’t let the woman I like sleep on the sofa."

"But..."

"Don’t say anything else. Just get in bed and sleep. If you really feel bad and don’t want me to sleep on the sofa, why not sleep together?" He raised his eyebrow, his Peach Blossom Eyes flickered, a hint of expectancy in his gaze.

He looked at the bed, then at Scarlett, and smiled mischievously: "Scarlett, that’s actually a great idea. You see, this bed is quite wide; it can easily fit two people, and we..."

"Ahem..." Scarlett choked on her own saliva, her face turning red, "I just seriously thought it over, and it’s better you sleep on the sofa."

Knox’s face was full of disappointment: "Scarlett, aren’t you going to reconsider? I promise I’ll behave and not do anything untoward. I’ll take up only one-third of the bed and leave the other two-thirds to you. This way, we promise no bodily contact. You can relax, and I can relax, everyone can relax."

Scarlett shook her head firmly, and even more firmly pushed him outside: "To allow us both to feel more at ease, the best choice is for you to sleep on the sofa. Knox, goodnight."

After she finished speaking, she closed the door decisively, not only closed it but also locked it.

Knox kept knocking on the door from outside, like a cat scratching at it, the sound full of grievance: "Scarlett, let me in, or I could sleep on the floor."

"Baby Scarlett..."

"Scarlett sweetie..."

"Scarlett dear..."

Knox howled outside for a minute, then with a click, the tightly closed door opened a crack.

His heart leapt with joy, and he showed the most alluring, most captivating smile: "Baby Scarlett, I knew you couldn’t bear to..."

Before he finished his sentence, something landed on his face, covering his head.

Everything went dark as Knox pulled the thing off his head, and the bedroom door had already closed.

Scarlett’s voice, filled with amusement, came from inside the bedroom. Though muffled by the door, Knox heard her clearly: "Little Knox, stop calling. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, it won’t help."
