WantNovelChapter 396
Steven stared at Scarlett for a moment, completely dazed. "Scarlett, you're so beautiful."
"Ugh, how cheesy," Scarlett muttered, clearly tipsy herself.
After another ten minutes or so, Scarlett was just as drunk as Steven. With what little sense he had left, Steven
managed to call a cab, gave the driver his haddress, and promptly passed out.
When the driver finally woke them up, Steven groggily opened his eyes and saw Scarlett still half-asleep.
Unsteady on his feet, he helped her out of the car and into his house. The scene felt oddly familiar-just like the
last this friend had brought Scarlett to his place.
Once inside, Steven carefully laid Scarlett on the bed. Just as he turned to leave, he tripped and fell to the floor.
Before he could get up, Scarlett's arm draped across his chest.
Gently, he moved her arm off him, but the moment he let go, she threw it back over him. This happened several
times before Steven gave up, exhaling in defeat.
The faint smell of alcohol lingered in the air. Steven turned his head and found himself face-to-face with Scarlett.
He stared at her for what felt like an eternity, his eyes burning from the effort to keep looking. Finally, he forced
himself to turn away.
Scarlett's sleeping posture wasn't exactly graceful. She rolled over, half-pinning Steven beneath her. Her face
ended up nestled against his neck, her warm breath brushing against his skin. The soft sensation sent a ticklish
shiver down his spine, and he couldn't suppress the rising heat inside him. Unable to resist any longer, he
wrapped his arms tightly around her.

themselves tangled together once more.
The next morning, Scarlett woke up groggily. As her eyes adjusted, she froze in shock at the sight of the man
lying next to her.
"Why is it Steven again?" she muttered, panicking.
Bits and pieces of the previous night began to surface in her mind, but she couldn't recall how she'd ended up at
Steven's place or how they'd ended up in bed together again.
Scarlett scrambled out of bed, hastily grabbing her clothes. As soon as her foot hit the floor, she twisted her
ankle. "Ah!" she cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground.
Steven stirred awake at her shout. He quickly sat up and scooped Scarlett into his arms. "What happened?" he
asked, his voice laced with concern.
Scarlett caught a whiff of his scent and instinctively pushed at him. “Putdown!" she demanded, smacking his
chest.
"You twisted your ankle. How are you supposed to walk like this?" Steven replied, refusing to let go. He carried
her back to the bed and set her down gently.
Scarlett stopped resisting, watching in silence as Steven expertly wrapped her ankle and carefully massaged it.
For a brief moment, an unfamiliar warmth flickered in her heart.
Steven sat on the couch, lazily watching TV without much interest.
Scarlett, meanwhile, lay stretched out on the other end of the sofa, her injured foot propped up on the armrest.
The coffee table in front of her was covered with an assortment of snacks and fruit.

Steven frowned slightly at the dwindling pile of grapes and pushed the bowl farther away, out of her reach.

"Why are you being so stingy?" she grumbled under her breath, glaring at him.
