Luckily, the two blankets were already on the floor. They cushioned Olivia's fall, and it didn't hurt that much.
Olivia was fuming. Was Wayne even a man? He didn't have a shred of chivalry in him!
Wayne glanced at Olivia, who was glaring at him. He added, "Turn off the lights before you sleep.”
His words only made her more angry. She couldn't understand how he could be so unfeeling!
Despite her anger, she still went and turned off the lights.
In the darkness, Wayne said chillingly, “I'm very sensitive to change, especially when I'm asleep. If I feel any danger at all, I won't hesitate to snap the neck of whoever's in front of me. I hope you'll still be alive tomorrow.”
Olivia replied mockingly, "You're so awesome! Why don't you sleep with your eyes open?”

She lay down with her back facing him and covered herself with one of the blankets.
Even though she had the urge to check around the room to see if the ring was here, she kept reminding herself to be patient. The twasn't right yet.
Olivia stayed up the entire night last night. She had also been on the road for the past couple of days. She fell asleep quickly because she was exhausted.
Wayne wouldn't hurt her yet. Or else, he wouldn't even prepare the blankets for her.
Wayne could hear her soft and steady breathing. He marveled at how carefree she was, being able to fall asleep so quickly.
Through the dim lights shining through the window, he could see that Olivia had curled up into a ball like a hedgehog.
It was already daybreak when Olivia woke up. She was wide awake the moment Wayne got off the bed. He stood on her blankets as he was changing.
She saw his legs the moment she opened her eyes. She also saw the hairs on his leg, the black underwear he was wearing, and the outlines of a certain body part.
Even a person as stoic as Olivia screamed, "Ah! Pervert!"
Wayne was completely oblivious as to how he should act around a woman. It was probably because of the environment he grew up in.
He was completely different from Ethan.
Ethan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. On the other hand, Wayne was said to have grown up on a refugee island.
Even after Olivia married Ethan, he would act courteously other than the times when they were doing it. He would never stand before a woman he didn't know in his underwear.
Wayne looked down to see Olivia's face when he heard her scream. "Have you never seen a man before? Why are you so surprised?"
His words angered Olivia. If she didn't already know what he was like in the past two days, she would really think he was a ruffian.

"Well, there's always a first."
Wayne walked into the bathroom bare-footed. So, that was why he was almost completely naked.
As soon as he closed the door, Olivia becexcited. Her opportunity had come!
She carefully moved to the bathroom door. She could hear the sound of water running. Then, the sound of the water becirregular. He was probably already standing under the water.
Olivia quickly raised the pillows. There wasn't anything under them. Then, she checked the bedside drawers. Since it was a temporary accommodation, the drawers were empty too.
There wasn't anything in the clothes and pants on the bed.
Her gaze fell on the wardrobe, but it was too big of a target. Wayne could cout at any time. Olivia didn't take the risk.
As expected, the bathroom door opened when she stopped. Wayne only took a simple shower. He cout wearing a towel around his waist.
Olivia should feel fortunate that he didn't exit the bathroom completely naked.
