To live like strangers [Bonus chapter]

Damien was jolted awake when he felt something strike his face. He was surprised to find Suzanne's foot on his shoulder. Quickly, he shifted away and sat upright, wondering how her foot ended up there.

Damien got surprised to see Suzanne was sleeping on the opposite side. The robe which he had given her last night was in the middle of the bed. He was unable to understand how she moved in her sleep. A chuckle escaped his mouth and he yawned.

"Is she always this clumsy?" Damien muttered, noticing her bare legs. Hastily, he covered her with the blanket, taking his robe and getting off the bed before heading to the washroom to freshen up.

An hour later, as he exited the washroom, he found Suzanne was still sound asleep. Deciding not to disturb her, Damien quietly left the room, finding the door fortunately unlocked and made his way to the dressing chamber.

Meanwhile, a maidservant entered the bedchamber to check on Suzanne and was puzzled by the way she was sprawled across the bed.
