The words squeezed through clenched teeth, Glenn Hutchinson spoke irritably, yet seemed quite justified in his frustration.
Flossie Wright’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
Dealing with a rascal, she rarely won an argument; either she had to be more shameless or resort to physical force, but now she couldn’t even win a fight, and her words were blocked, she really had no other option.
"First of all, there’s no relationship between us," Flossie took a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking slowly, "Glenn Hutchinson, your wet clothes are unbearable for me."
"Kissed and now slept together, you dare say there’s no relationship?" Clutching her hand tightly, Glenn Hutchinson’s voice was almost touching her lips as he whispered, "My wet clothes... ha, if you want me to strip naked, I don’t mind."
She couldn’t help but curse.
He was infuriating, making her grind her teeth in anger!
Flossie Wright rarely got really angry, but this time, she was seriously provoked by Glenn Hutchinson’s shameless behavior.
The worst part was that she couldn’t even hit him!
Turning her head away, she looked at the top of the tent, Flossie decided not to talk to him.
"Flossie Wright."
His voice lowered, drawing closer to her ear with a touch of tenderness.
The breath sprayed against her ear, tickling her with the gentle brushing of hair.
"If you have something to say, speak."
Flossie frowned.
His embrace tightened, Glenn Hutchinson’s chin resting on her shoulder as he murmured slowly, "I’m tired."
The weariness couldn’t be hidden.
His voice drifted into her ear, unexpectedly tugging at her heart with a sharp pull.
With lips tightly pressed together, Flossie looked up silently, not making a sound.
The flashlight had been switched off by Glenn Hutchinson, and it was pitch dark outside, with no light to be seen. The tent flap was mostly open, letting in a cool breeze that significantly lowered the temperature inside.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t cold.
Glenn, being on the outskirts, blocked most of the cold wind, and since she was wearing multiple layers, even Glenn’s soaked clothes didn’t chill her.
On the contrary, it was warm.
His grip was firm, but not so tight as to constrict, his chest unusually warm.
Rigid, and not knowing how much time had passed, Flossie noticed the steady breathing of the person next to her. She blinked in surprise and tentatively called out, "Glenn Hutchinson?"
No answer came.
Pausing, Flossie frowned and called out again, "Glenn Hutchinson?"
Still no answer.
Her mind slightly stirred, Flossie thought to herself and gently tried to wriggle out of Glenn Hutchinson’s hold.
Starting with her fingers, one by one, slipping out of his grasp with unusual care.
Before her third finger had slipped away, Flossie heard a low chuckle right next to her ear.
Following that, his hand flipped over and seized her fingers again.
"Thinking of escaping?"
A voice tinged with amusement floated into her ears.
"You weren’t sleeping?"
She shot a fierce look over, suppressing the rage in her heart.
"I was," Glenn Hutchinson replied bluntly, his tone shifting, "If you want to keep this up all night, I’m game."

Glenn Hutchinson had indeed fallen asleep.
However, his sleep was light, and as soon as Flossie called for him, he woke up.
In their line of work, sleeping deeply was taboo.
This, Flossie understood very well.
Not in the mood to argue further, Flossie simply closed her eyes.
She had no intention of playing a game of cat and mouse with Glenn Hutchinson until dawn.
Just let it be.
Unwittingly, sleepiness crept over her.
This time, Flossie Wright fell asleep faster than Glenn Hutchinson.
Hearing her breathing gradually stabilize, Glenn Hutchinson’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he loosened his grip on her a little.
Sick and refusing to sleep, obviously too accustomed to the Forces’ way of life, not having suffered enough hardship out in the field.
Thinking this, he slightly lowered his gaze, using the faint light to look at Flossie Wright’s peaceful sleeping face. Slowly, the smile at the corner of his lips faded.
If only this woman could always be so compliant—
That would be nice!
