Chapter 177
Moira did not expect Juliet to be so quick–witted. She felt guilty and did not dare to reply to Juliet’s message.
She sat on the bed and tried to recall how she went to Barclay’s room last night:
She didn’t seem to have slept very well last night and had a lot of dreams.
Moira thought about it carefully. She seemed to have dreamed of herself and Barclay kissing passionately!
Was it a dream in a dream?
She probably didn’t hug and kiss Barclay last night.
The more Moira thought about it, the more afraid she became. She did not even know she was such a lewd!
She muttered to herself, ‘Forget it. Forget it. Don’t think about it anymore. Just let it go!‘
After a while, Moira’s stomach rumbled in dissatisfaction.
She looked down at her shriveled belly and sighed.
She could do nothing even if she was hungry as she was too ashamed to leave the room today.
Today was Saturday, and Barclay would be at home all day.
Recalling what she had done to him last night, she was too embarrassed to appear in front of him today.
She thought of Barclay’s gaze when he kissed her collarbone just now.
His eyes darkened, and his kiss was probably “an eye for an eye” instead of “reciprocity” as he said.
Speaking of which, he could have taken a bite out of anger just now, but he didn’t!
What an upright person!
In comparison, Moira felt that she was a pervert.
When she thought about how she had coveted Barclay’s abdominal muscles just now, she felt even more ashamed.
Just as Moira was lost in self–reflection, someone knocked on the door.
She froze for a moment, and her legs went limp.
She did not dare to open the “door of shame“!
However, the person outside was persistent and knocked again.
They were in a deadlock for about two minutes before Barclay said, “I left your slippers at the door.”
Moira’s face immediately blushed. She quickly got out of bed and opened the door.

Barclay was bending down to put down her slippers with two cloth rabbits on them.
He saw her bare feet and paused. “Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Moira was so embarrassed.
Fortunately, Barclay did not say anything else and turned around to leave.
Moira had originally planned to stay in her room for the entire day. However, her stomach was disappointing, and she was a little weak from hunger. In the end, she went downstairs for breakfast. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
During the meal, she did not dare to make any eye contact with Barclay. Occasionally, her gaze would sweep past his collar, but she immediately restrained herself.
After breakfast, Rose came to ask about the dishes for lunch.
Moira watched Barclay as he walked upstairs and heaved a sigh of relief. She told Rose two dishes that she wanted to eat.
After chatting with Rose, it was usually time for Moira to practice the piano.
Moira was not in the mood today. She was lost in thought after playing the Symphony of Fate twice.
From time to time, there would be a message from Juliet. Moira had read them all, yet she felt guilty and did not dare to reply.
When Rose came to her, Moira was thinking about what department in the hospital she should go to treat her sleepwalking.
“Mrs. Covington, there is a guest.”
Moira was stunned for a moment and thought that it was Barclay’s stepmother. “Got it. Go deal with your work.”
She collected her thoughts and went to Barclay.
Bernice probably brought Cynthia there to criticize Moira about what had happened last night.
However, Moira was wrong. Cynthia was alone, and Bernice did not come with her.
And Cynthia wasn’t there to question Moira, but to “repay” her.
