Chapter 99: The Only One Who Cares

Grace's body, exuding a faint and alluring fragrance, was right beside John. Her fiery and scorching form was temptingly close to John's body, even through the thin layer of her pajamas.

Particularly now, as Grace was hugging John, her 36D breasts were perfectly pressed against his arm.

It seemed that in her emotional state, Grace was holding John with all her might, as if she wanted to envelop him entirely in her embrace. This closeness made John and Grace's bodies press tightly together, akin to a wife holding her husband.

Despite the pajamas between them, the heat of Grace's body and the scent of her form were constantly affecting John.

The moment Grace hugged him, John awkwardly discovered that his lower body had become rigidly erect. This realization caused his face to flush instantly, as if he were on fire, his body temperature soaring. Fortunately, they were covered with a blanket, and it was nighttime with dim lighting. Grace wouldn't notice the small bulge in the blanket caused by John's erection. This fact brought John a great sense of relief.

On the other side, as Grace held her son, feeling his body warmth and heartbeat, an unprecedented warmth welled up from the depths of her heart. Although they had no blood relation, Grace's innermost softness was touched without reservation.

The moment she hugged John, she couldn't help but gently rub her cheek against his face, as a mother would with her newborn baby, and she took a heartfelt deep breath. All the humiliation and grievances she had endured seemed to vanish in that instant.

At this moment, Grace's mind was free of thoughts of Mark and others; it was filled only with the son in her arms, whose body warmth she could still feel. The moment the weight on her heart lifted, an overwhelming sense of sleepiness immediately overcame her.

Grace, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, couldn't help but slowly rest her head on John's, her breathing gradually becoming even. Within just a few seconds, she fell into a deep sleep...

Watching Grace, who had tilted to his side, breathing evenly in her sleep, with the warm breath from her nostrils hitting his face and her alluring scent permeating his pores, John's face turned as red as if it were on fire.

The close contact with the beautiful woman, who had no blood relation to him, made his already erect member even more rigid, as if it were about to explode. The enlarged, menacing member seemed to be at its limit, with its veins clearly visible.

The swelling in his lower body caused John to straighten his body involuntarily. Grace's forehead was resting nearby, and John didn't dare to move an inch.

As Grace's breathing grew heavier, signaling that she was truly asleep, John let out a sigh of relief and cautiously shifted his body, mostly by gently rubbing his back against the bedsheet.

At this moment, Grace was more like leaning against John rather than hugging him. Her side - lying, sleeping posture resembled that of a kitten, clingy and adorable.

While John was moving, his legs also moved about involuntarily. However, as he bent his leg, it accidentally touched Grace. Although it was just a slight touch and he quickly moved his leg away, John's heart still tightened with fear, and he cautiously shifted his gaze to Grace.

Grace continued to sleep soundly, completely unaware of John's unintentional movement.

To be honest, ever since she found out about Mark's affair with Dr. Maya, Grace hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Even on the night she left Berlin and shared a bed with Mark, she had slept with her back to him.

Mark, being oblivious, didn't notice Grace's restlessness and slept soundly himself.

As a result, Grace hardly slept that night. Listening to Mark's snoring, she felt like kicking him.

To make matters worse, in his sleep, Mark kept fondling her breasts, which made Grace even angrier.

But now, in John's room, the heartbroken Grace finally found some solace. The deception and rape by the security guard Thorne, her husband's infidelity and unfaithfulness, all these overwhelming issues had pushed Grace to the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, she still had her son with her, who provided her with some comfort in her sorrow. So, in John's presence, Grace let go of all her worries and burdens and fell into a deep sleep.

She was completely unaware of John's unintentional movements. On the contrary, John, after accidentally touching Grace's leg with his own, even though they were both wearing pajamas, was so scared that he dared not breathe heavily and resumed his stiff, upright posture.

After lying there dazed for a while, John saw that Grace was still sleeping deeply and dared to move his leg slightly. The position of Grace hugging John was comfortable for her, but not for John.

It was like some cat lovers who enjoy sleeping with their cats. While the soft and cuddly cat feels good to them, the cat being held feels very uncomfortable and restless.

John was in the same situation. Grace was hugging him very tightly. Moreover, as John had never been this close to a girl, especially sleeping in the same bed, the restlessness of adolescence made John feel as if he were being roasted over a fire.

Most importantly, his arm felt extremely sensitive, with Grace's breast pressing against it. The soft, yielding touch made him involuntarily push his arm slightly.

Of course, John was very careful with these small movements, fearing that he would wake Grace up.

This night was the most memorable one in John's life. As the first time he shared a bed with a girl, and it was with his own mother, John's heart had been pounding non-stop since Grace got into bed. He hardly slept the whole night.

It was just like the night when Grace returned to the country, only the roles were reversed. The originally sound - sleeping Mark became Grace, and the sleepless Grace became John.

Throughout the night, John dared not fall asleep or move around casually, for fear of disturbing the sleeping Grace. The night seemed neither fast nor slow.

John didn't know when or at what time he eventually fell asleep... until the next morning...
