Abigail didn\'t know what time she was able to sleep last night. She had been awake until dawn, just turning and tossing around the bed. She felt conscious because Nathan was with her in that hotel room.

She fell asleep for a moment then woke up once again at around 3:00 am. Then she saw Nathan lying on the long couch beside her bed.

She watched him over for several minutes. "I thought he would serve as my bodyguard. How could he sleep like a baby?"

Abigail stood up and picked up her blanket. She slowly approached the couch, trying her best to avoid making any noise. She didn\'t want to disturb his peaceful sleep.

When she reached his spot, Abigail placed the blanket on top of his body, covering him. She also adjusted the room temperature because it was so cold inside.

Abigail just stared at his gorgeous sleeping face. The light coming from the lampshade was enough to give her a better view of Nathan\'s face. And she couldn\'t fathom as to why Nathan was doing this. She had never expected that Nathan would be thoughtful enough to let her use the bed as he settled down on the couch.

She had never imagined that Nathan would take care of her wound. This was the first time she saw his gentle side. It was so different from his ruthless and devilish image.

After racking her brain so hard, Abigail gasped, covering her mouth. \'Wait! Don\'t tell me he is already falling for me?!\' Abigail thought to herself, blinking her eyes in disbelief.

Was it really possible? It\'s only been two weeks since she started her mission. It was impossible. But how would she explain his strange behavior last night?

Abigail shook her head, pushing that thought to the back of her mind. She might be overthinking. She didn\'t want to have a high hope regarding this.

Abigail gently slapped her burning face. She subconsciously blushed just thinking about this devil slowly falling in love with her.

\'Damn! Get a hold of yourself Phantomflake. You shouldn\'t feel embarrassed and excited about this… and you must not lower your guard. You don\'t know him so well.\' Abigail reminded herself.

Abigail jolted and almost fell backward when Nathan slightly moved. Did he wake up? Abigail pressed her chest, holding her breath, her eyes fixed on Nathan. She just heaved a  sigh of relief when Nathan\'s eyes remained closed.

\'Before Nathan wakes up, I should go back to bed now,\' Abigail thought to herself. However, before she could turn around and take a step, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, thus stopping her.

Then a husky voice was heard, breaking the silence in the room. "Are you done feasting on my gorgeous face?"

Abigail\'s body stiffened as soon as she heard his voice. \'What the fuck? Was he awake all along? Was he just pretending to be asleep? He is not sleeping-talking, is he?\'

Abigail bit her lower lip and cursed inwardly. She felt a little bit embarrassed as Nathan caught her.

Abigail had no choice but to look at him, hiding her embarrassment. Nathan was wide awake and he was now looking at her with his penetrating gaze.

In fact, he was never asleep. He had been awake since just like Abigail, he couldn\'t find his sleep. He just closed his eyes but his senses were all awake.

He had been listening to her every movement on the bed. He could tell that Abigail couldn\'t sleep. Maybe she felt uncomfortable in his presence. So Nathan just pretended to be asleep, not moving in his spot.

Then a while ago, Abigail finally drifted off to sleep as she stopped moving and her breathing became normal. Nathan also tried his best to rest his tired and recovering body. When he was about to fall asleep, Abigail woke up and got off the bed.

Nathan wondered what she would do so he wanted to take a peek but he heard her footsteps inching closer to him. With that, Nathan decided to pretend that he was sound asleep.

He was taken aback when he felt a warm fabric covering his body. It turned out that Abigail took her blanket to cover his. Nathan didn\'t expect to receive that kind gesture from her. He was speechless.

He thought she would finally leave after giving him the blanket. But to his surprise, Abigail remained in her spot. And he could feel a pair of eyes looking at him. Abigail was watching him for several minutes.

Nathan thought she would pull another trick like kissing him on the lips. He had that expectation that Abigail would try to steal another kiss from him. But he got disappointed in the end when Abigail decided to go back to her bed.

He should have let her go back and just continued pretending to be asleep. But his inner self forced him to grab her wrist and stopped her from leaving.

And as if he was possessed by Aiden\'s spirit, Nathan said teasing but shameless words to Abigail.

\'Are you done feasting on my gorgeous face? Seriously, Nathan? Why am I saying this? This is so unlikely of me,\' Nathan lamented to himself but it was too late to take back his words.

Meanwhile, instead of showing her embarrassment, Abigail tried to be bold. She knew that she should always make the first move in order to win over Nathan. There was no reason to hide her true intention anymore.

Abigail flashed her most charming smile and she leaned closer to Nathan, meeting his intense gaze.

"Yes, Handsome," Abigail mumbled seductively, her hand reaching for his face.

"I\'m done feasting on your gorgeous face," she whispered up close, not breaking their eye contact. Then she playfully caressed Nathan\'s jaw using her thumb.

Nathan could only stare at her, completely mesmerized.

"And because of that! I made up my mind! I will make you fall for me… in 85 Days!" Abigail smiled at him seductively and winked.

She even blew him a flying kiss before she turned around and went back to bed. "Sweet Dream, Mr. Sparks."

Nathan: "..."
