Chapter 276 Sleepwalking

Adam returned home after midnight. The house was silent and dark. He assumed Claire might be asleep. He made his way to the bedroom, expecting to find her there, but she wasn’t. Disappointment washed over him.
He then headed to the guest room Claire had been using. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and found her asleep inside. He wasn’t pleased to see her sleeping there. Although it had been their arrangement to sleep in separate rooms, something about it suddenly felt wrong, and he realized he wanted her to be in his bedroom instead.
Something had truly changed after their visit to Florence, and Adam found himself wanting his contract wife even more. They had been living together in the house after their wedding, both fighting their mutual attraction and pretending indifference. But after making love to Claire, Adam found it incredibly difficult to stay away from her. He wanted her, and he wasn’t going to deny it. Though he wasn’t sure how Claire felt, he sensed that she wanted him too. He was sure about it after experiencing how passionate she had been with him last night. Standing in the doorway with his hands in his jeans pockets, he just watched her sleep, her face relaxed in peace, her breathing steady.
