The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 50: A Major Change

Ian Rowe woke up at six in the morning. He rubbed his forehead, his biological clock was very precise, and it was the first time he had gotten up so late.

Some memories from last night flooded his mind. He frowned slightly, only remembering that he was not feeling well last night, then Maya Monroe touched his forehead with concern, and then... seemed like a doctor came over? And then...

Ian looked at the still sleeping Maya beside him, her head fully exposed, her steady breaths could be faintly heard as she slept soundly. Her sharp and fierce eyes were closed, her crimson lips unconsciously curled up, softening her unique edges.

Did she take care of me all night last night? Now she fell asleep because she’s too tired.

The rich fragrance seemed to linger on the tip of his nose, persisting without fading.

Ian’s eyes revealed a gentleness he himself had never noticed before.

Maya suddenly let out a faint sound, turning over and kicking at the quilt, her fair waist exposed, slender and smooth like white jade.

Ian’s eyes darkened, he had always known Maya slept poorly.

Ian forced himself not to focus too much on that exposed section of waist, he pulled down Maya’s pajamas, and when his fingertips touched her smooth, soft skin, his hand trembled instinctively.

Perhaps his fingertips were too cold, Maya murmured something in her sleep and kicked the quilt again.

Ian pulled the quilt up for Maya again, tucking it around her, before getting out of bed.

Finally fixing his tie, he glanced back just before leaving.

Vincent Summers was already sitting in the living room. He had called Ian several times, but the phone had been off. He asked the maid and found out Ian had been upstairs since yesterday without coming down, meaning Ian hadn’t woken up. However, this possibility was small, as Vincent knew very well how strong Ian’s self-discipline was. Ian demanded a lot from himself, living meticulously and without a single flaw.

Which meant he was handling work upstairs, and thus Vincent decided not to disturb him and waited here.

The sound suddenly came from the stairs, and Vincent looked over, sure enough, it was Ian.

Vincent quickly approached: "Ian, you came down a bit late today! I called you and you didn’t answer. But... you don’t look too well."

Ian’s lips were slightly pale, looking somewhat unwell.

Ian rubbed his still aching temples: "Just a minor issue." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"If you’re not feeling well, Ian, maybe you should rest at home a bit longer."

Ian waved his hand: "I’m much better, it won’t delay work."

Vincent glanced back at the direction of the stairs: "Ian, is Maya still asleep? I’ve never seen her awake when I come to pick you up for work! Other elegant ladies get up early to exercise and beautify themselves. How come she lives so roughly? Is she even a woman? So bold and crude!"

Ian gave him a cool glance: "Maya was tired yesterday, so she’s sleeping a bit more today. Besides... even if she lies in bed all day, what of it?"

Vincent widened his eyes, astonished by the implications in Ian’s words, and made countless bold guesses: "Maya tired? This, this... Ian... don’t tell me you..."

Ian looked at him lightly, saying nothing.

This action, in Vincent’s eyes, was undoubtedly an admission.

From Ian’s act of defending Maya, to the hints in his words, Vincent couldn’t help but conclude that Ian had greatly changed his view of Maya! No longer holding the former hostile and indifferent attitude.

Maya woke up at ten. She was normally drowsy, and ten o’clock was the alarm time she set for herself.

She only needed to go against the protagonist, using her minor skills to highlight the protagonist’s brilliance, so sleeping in was not at all inappropriate...

Maya got up and stretched. She found that her quilt was neatly covering her, which was unbelievable.

Ian’s figure was long gone from beside her, probably gone to work again.

Maya couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s events. After the doctor came, she went to the guest room. Although she was sleepy, she wasn’t accustomed to new beds, coupled with the guest bed being far less soft and comfortable than the main bed, so she sneaked back in the second half of the night.

By then the doctor had left, Maya tested Ian’s temperature, and the fever was gone, she sighed in relief.

Then she slept until daylight.

Maya got out of bed and put on her slippers. She wondered what Ian’s reaction was when he got up this morning. When he learned that she had left him to fend for himself with a fever, he probably wished he could strangle her.

Thinking this, Maya felt much better, humming a tuneless little song as she left the room.
