My Stubborn Mistress 75 Stormy Nigh

The typhoon is now entering the country's area of responsibility and began storming many places.

The wind getting too stronger. Grateful of Shun's mansion, the inner house would not hear or feel the bad weather outside.

Quarter to 12 of midnight when Shun decided to stop reviewing the doc.u.ments he brought home. Even he announces to his employees a nonworking until the typhoon subsided, he and his directors will continue working at his house. Apart from the crew needed in the hotel, Shun has a special vehicle to pick them up anywhere around the Mainland City to go to work.

This trailer truck is huge and high from the ground with amenities inside... it could pa.s.s a flash flood and high-level water or from strong winds, it was just made for this weather.

Shun leans on his chair and ma.s.sage his temple. He just remembered to check his messages. His soul jumps out from his body after reading Joanna's text. He rose from his chair and rush outside then flew the stairs to the second floor of his mansion.

"Ca.s.sandra?" Shun tried to pull upward the doork.n.o.b, it was locked.

"Ca.s.sandra? Are you awake?" Shun slamming his hand on the door. He remembered the keys. He rushes to his bedroom and trying to find the key to Ca.s.sie's room.

"s.h.i.+t!" he murmured. He can't remember it! Why now? He can't decide which one of these keys was for Ca.s.sandra's bedroom. He was too worried that's why he can't think straight.

He remembered Mr. Son… "Mr. Son! I'm sorry to disturb you, can you please come to my bedroom? I need to find a certain key."

After several minutes, Mr. Son arrives and help him determined the key he needs. He quickly goes back to Ca.s.sie's bedroom and opens the door.

The bed is empty, Ca.s.sie wasn't in the bed! Then he saw a small figure on the side of the bed leaning on the bedside table. She was burying her face on her knees while trying to wrap herself.

"Ca.s.sandra, I'm sorry! I read Joanna's text too late. I'm sorry…" he held her face both of his hand, she was sweating cold.

Ca.s.sie did not react when he comes closer. She just stares at him blankly. "Ca.s.sandra?" She still not responding.

"Do you want me to turn the lights on?" he continued talking to her, made an effort she will show a reaction.

"I'll go turn on the lights first," he was about to get up when Ca.s.sie hold his sweats.h.i.+rt.

"Ca.s.sandra, I'll come back, okay?" Ca.s.sie still won't let go of his s.h.i.+rt. The remote control for the lighting and other stuff was at the other bedside table.

Good thing Mr. Son follows him. He ordered the butler to manually lighting the bedroom. He told the butler he can go back to sleep.

"There, it's brighter now. I'll put you back on the bed," he told her. Ca.s.sie just keeps staring at him, then nodded after a few moments.

He carried her and gently put on the bed. Ca.s.sie seated on the bed and lean on the headboard. He grabs the blanket and covered half of her body. She was sweating.

"I will go get you a face towel," he did not leave until Ca.s.sie nodded. He quickly entered the bathroom and brought a damp hand towel.

"Here, I'll go get you a change of pajamas. Your upper pajama is soaking wet."

Ca.s.sie nodded. After a long moment, he handed the upper pajama for her to change the soak one. He can't actually decide which one to choose.

His gazes did not leave Ca.s.sie's eyes, but he wonders why she's not changing her clothing. Ca.s.sie just staring back at him. He just remembers to turn around. Of course, she will be embarra.s.sed to suddenly undressed in front of him.

Why did he not realize that quick? What's wrong with him? But he was really disturbed when Joanna texted that Ca.s.sie can't sleep during rainy nights, especially the stormy ones. She becomes restless that lead her to stay awake all night. He was worriedly sick.

d.a.m.n it. He was too confident to left Ca.s.sie alone because she was inside his mansion. Full security has been up around his house. But, he actually has to protect her from the typhoon as well, mentally.

"Bro… brother Shun," a weak voice caught his ears.

He turns around. Ca.s.sie is now done changing her upper pajama.

"Don't worry, I'll stay here. I won't leave you," he seated next to her, but Ca.s.sie seems wasn't convinced.

"I promise I will just stay by your side… okay?" Shun combs her soak hair from sweating. He picks up the damp hand towel and pat softly on her forehead. "Now, you need to get some rest."

Ca.s.sie nodded quickly this time. He helps her to lay on the bed and covered with the blanket. Ca.s.sie now closes her eyes. He watches her slowly falling sleep.

What happens to you, Ca.s.sandra? What other things I haven't know yet about you? Shun thoughts to himself. Her face this time is in peace. He was tempted to brush her face but he doesn't want to wake her up.

Shun decided to lay beside her but keep a bit distant. His eyes did not leave her face but slowly, his eyelids are getting heavier and he fell asleep.

Ca.s.sandra tried to pull her blanket but it was heavy.

Is it morning already? She slowly opens her eyes just to find Shun's handsome face, he was sleeping beside her! She was now fully awake and staring at him with wide eyes. He was lying above the blanket that is way too heavy to pull it.

Ca.s.sie now has an opportunity to get a full glimpse of his face. She was often nervous, and her heart crazily beating like now that she can't have a full look on Shun's face every time.

Ca.s.sie began scanning his face. His thick eyelashes are beautifully paired to his blue eyes. His long nose is handsomely stood proudly on the middle of his facial frame. His beard seems growing quickly and looks he have to shave them off almost every day. And his heart-shaped lips is…

Wait, why did she begin thinking of these things? No! She suddenly rolls on her side forgetting her wounded head on the back. "Ouch…" she quickly covered her mouth.

Not long after, she felt Shun's movement beside her. Does she awaken him? Ca.s.sie pretended sleeping but she stayed cautious. The bed moves when she felt Shun's sit up from the bed. She waited what next he will do.

Ca.s.sie felt Shun's finger brus.h.i.+ng off the few strands of hair covering her face, he tucked it in behind her ears. She then felt Shun's hand on her forehead, must be checking if she has a fever.

"Hmm... why does her face is red? But she doesn't have a fever either..." she heard Shun murmured this.

She felt Shun leaving the bed and left the room. Ca.s.sie is just able to breathe. Wait, does her face is blus.h.i.+ng? That was embarra.s.sing! She rolls on the bed until she reaches the part Shun lying all night. It was warm and the smell of him.

Wait... she sits up from the bed. Why she frequently thinks of his smell lately? No! That's not appropriate to do! She shook her head.
