The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 69

Would you come into the bedroom with me?
They soon arrived at the apartment building.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Zoe had fallen asleep on Sam’s back.

Given the events of the day, it was a significant drain both physically and mentally.

On the way, Sam didn’t wake her, letting her sleep until they reached their destination.

“Are we there?” Zoe asked upon awakening.

“Yes, let’s get down. Be careful with your foot.”

“Ah, okay.”

Reluctantly, Zoe got off Sam’s back and walked towards the elevator with his assistance.

In the elevator, Sam didn’t make any move to keep a distance; he still escorted Zoe to her apartment.

The familiar setting seemed unchanged from his last visit, as tidy as ever, with the quiet air typical of a single woman’s home.

“Alright, sister, it’s been a hectic day. You should get some rest,” Sam said, ready to leave with a smile at her door.

However, Zoe hesitated and touched her hair at her temple.

“Um… would you like to come in and rest for a bit?”

Sam was taken aback and responded instinctively.

“It’s quite late, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.”

Indeed, it was already 2 a.m. Entering her apartment at this hour might not promise a straightforward exit.

No matter what state she was in, Zoe was not to be underestimated. Did he really think she was harmless just because she was a bit hurt and scared? Naive!

But Zoe had her tactics against Sam’s hesitation. She looked disappointed and lowered her head slightly.

“I just feel a bit scared staying alone… But you have classes tomorrow, right? You should go back and rest…”

Hearing this, Sam seemed to feel guilty. He asked, “Are you scared?”

Zoe looked up at Sam with a forced smile.

“A bit… I always feel uneasy sleeping alone, like something keeps bothering me. I was only able to relax a little on your back just now. But it’s okay, you go rest. Nothing should happen…”

The more she said this, Sam harder it was to leave.

Despite suspecting she might be doing this on purpose, seeing her tear-stained face and her pitiful expression, Sam sighed in resignation.

“Then I’ll stay and chat with you until you’re sleepy, and then I’ll head back.”

Zoe looked up at Sam with surprise.

“Really?”

“What choice do I have? You’ve already said so much; I can’t appear too indifferent,” Sam responded.

Zoe, smiling, led Sam into the house. Fortunately, she wasn’t drunk like the last time, so she was less likely to act impulsively.

“Do you want some water or something? I can get it for you…” Zoe attempted to get up with her unsteady steps, but Sam stopped her.

“It’s okay, just rest. I’ll get something if I need it, and I’m not thirsty right now.” Sam reassured her.

Zoe blushed and nodded. “I’m sorry for not being a good host and for unreasonably asking you to stay with me… Despite being older than you, I seem to be causing trouble.”

She looked embarrassed, but if she was truly that embarrassed, why make such a request?

Clearly, it wasn’t entirely credible, but Sam didn’t want to ruin the moment by calling out these little schemes. He even comforted her with a smile.

“It’s okay. Anyone would be unsettled after such an incident. The important thing is that nothing worse happened.”

Zoe glanced at Sam gratefully.

Handsome, brave, and understanding.

She didn’t know how to describe her feelings for Sam; he seemed like someone who shouldn’t be in her life, almost like a person too difficult to let go of.

“But… I still want to ask, how were you so brave at that moment? Weren’t you afraid of the danger?” Zoe wondered.

A normal person might have chosen to call the police rather than take action like Sam, who confronted a gun and a knife without a hint of fear, showing extraordinary bravery that challenged her perception of him.

Sam thought for a moment and then said, “It wasn’t much, really. The situation was already dangerous, and I couldn’t let him harm you, so I had to act. And don’t worry, that guy was too weak physically, and not taller than me. Under normal circumstances, he couldn’t beat me.”

Zoe looked at Sam with concern. “Even though it turned out okay this time, don’t do that again. Your safety is more important than anything else.”

“Isn’t your safety important, too?” Sam countered, leaving Zoe momentarily speechless.

She lowered her head. “It’s not that important, I guess. My life is just this way, but you have a bright future ahead. Besides… risking oneself to help others, isn’t that kind of foolish?”

Hearing Zoe’s words, Sam shook his head.

“Foolish? I don’t think so. To me, the silliest thing is to hesitate and let a disaster unfold before your eyes, turning what could have been salvaged into something irreversible, and then living with that guilt. Isn’t that the real foolishness?”

Sam’s response left Zoe somewhat dazed, and she was genuinely happy that Sam was such a person.

At that moment, she also felt a bit ashamed.

Sam might not know that she had secretly done many excessive things involving him – stealing his underwear, kissing his cock while he slept, and even using Sam as a sexual fantasy target for self-pleasure.

Seeing her not responding, Sam thought Zoe might be tired. He gently suggested, “Why don’t you go to bed and rest?”

Zoe instantly looked up at Sam.

“Are you leaving now?” She seemed quite worried, even fearful.

Sam, not understanding the source of her emotions, replied with a resigned smile. “No, I’m not leaving yet. You go to bed, and once you’re asleep, I’ll head out.”

Hearing this, Zoe’s face flushed. She looked at Sam.

“Then… would you come into the bedroom with me?”

“Together, into the bedroom? That might be inconvenient…” Sam hesitated.

“It’s okay… I’m sure I’ll sleep well with you by my side. I’ll fall asleep quickly. You’re the only one who can make me feel this secure,” Zoe said, her voice tinged with a plea.

Seeing Zoe’s imploring look, Sam was somewhat skeptical. “Really?”

“Truly… please,” Zoe even gently grasped Sam’s hand.

Sam sighed. “Alright, but you have to promise to sleep.”

“With Sam here, I’ll be very good,” Zoe assured him, acting coquettishly like a young girl, despite being several years older than Sam.

Who could resist that?

Sam stood up, walking with Zoe into the mysterious domain he had never entered before – Zoe’s bedroom.
