Chapter 102 Performance

Miriam’s heart suddenly beat quickly, and her body tensed up.

However, the hand on her waist did not move.

Miriam held her breath and turned around slowly. She saw that Lamont had fallen into a deep sleep, and his breath had stabilized.

She sighed with disappointment and felt ashamed of her thoughts.

Miriam wiped Lamont’s face and hands with a wet towel. After taking off his shirt and pants, Miriam took the blanket and curled up in the corner of the sofa.

Although she liked Lamont, she was not the kind of woman who would play lowly

Miriam left with a mug, leaving Lamont in a daze on the bed.

Damn it!

What did I do last night?

Lamont cursed inwardly and rubbed his temples. He quickly got up from the bed, put on

his clothes, and went outside the bedroom.

Miriam’s place was not like the big house of the Byron family. It was small and decorated in a reserved style. Although the open–style kitchen looked a little messy, it
