Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 40

It was already dark when they arrived at the entrance of Hotel Le Grande. Justin unloaded her luggage from the trunk while she patiently waited for him.

They entered the hotel together.One of his hand clasped hers while the other pulled her luggage. They skipped the reception and went straight to the open elevator.

He punched the P button, then swiped his card to the slot. After doing these, the elevator door closed and ascended.

Serene looked at him, perplexed. The groves on her forehead formed canals as she searched his face for an answer but got nothing.

They walked towards the door to the end of the corridor. Justin swiped his card to open the door. As soon as it opened, Serene felt cold air embrace her. The room looked familiar to her; she thought she had deja vu.

Justin already took a couple of steps in, but she remained rooted at the entrance. He looked back at her direction, his brows met at the center of his forehead.

“This...this room...it’s...isn’t this…” she stammered. Her words escaped her as her wide eyes scanned the room. When her eyes landed on Justin, she saw him looking at her with a smirk on his lips.

“Yup. This was the room where you puked on me.” Mockery filled his voice. His eyes beamed at her and his lips stretched us as his grin widened.

“You…” Serene cannot help but blush his reminder. “This is your suite?” She looked at him incredulously.

“Yes.” He said amusedly while walking towards her. He guided her inside the room, then closed the door behind her.

Justin lugged her luggage inside the walk-in closet. In his absence, Serene recalled waking up in the same room naked and was just covered by a thin blanket. Her face turned scarlet at the recollection.

Justin raised his eyebrow when he saw her standing in the middle of the room with a hazy expression. He approached her and hugged her waist.

“Will you be staying here too?” She looked up to him with inquiring eyes.

“Yes,” he answered, looking at her straight in the eyes.

She bit her lower lip. Her brows continued to knit as she processed the situation.

“Is there a problem, Serene?”

Taking all her courage, she broke free from his embrace and crossed her arms on her chest, then looked at him directly. “You might as well bring me back to your villa tomorrow.”

Her statement surprised him, but felt happy from what she said. “Are you sure?”

Serene rolled her eyes. “What’s the difference between us living together in your villa and us living together in your suite. I highly doubt that you’d only be staying here tonight.”

Like a child who got caught playing tricks, he chuckled then rubbed the back of his head. He held her close to him again, “Sorry. I can’t stand not being with you after your accident.” He met her eyes with a boyish smile on his face. He raised his right hand and said, “I promise, I’ll behave.”

Serene rolled her eyes at him, making him laugh, after which, he gave her forehead a long kiss. She closed her eyes to savor his kiss.
