Chapter 605
As she spoke, Aubree picked up a piece of meat and placed it on his plate. She added, โNow, eat up and donโt worry.โ
โAlright, letโs eat,โ Bowen said softly.
After dinner, Aubree suggested they go visit Enrique at the Turner familyโs home, and of course, Bowen didnโt reject her.
They spent the entire afternoon keeping Enrique company, and when evening rolled around, Bowen drove Aubree back to Ellis Heights so they could get some rest.
โGo take a shower first. Iโll grab you some clothes to change into,โ Bowen said. She often stayed over at Ellis Heights, and the villa had everything she needed.
Innocent as ever, Aubree headed straight to the bathroom to wash up, completely missing the amused look in Bowenโs eyes.
He thought, โLooks like Bree forgot something. But I definitely didnโt.โ
โBowen?โ The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Aubree called out as she wrapped a towel around herself. โWhere are my pajamas?โ
โTheyโre just outside,โ Bowen replied.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching as the bathroom door cracked open just a sliver. Aubreeโs head poked out first, her body wrapped in a towel that covered her from her chest all the way down to her thighs.
Bowen couldnโt help but smile.
Even though his gaze was perfectly innocent and he hadnโt mentioned a thing, Aubreeโs cheeks suddenly flushed. She just couldnโt shake the feeling that Bowen was plotting something.
She quickly reached out, snatched up the clothes, and ducked back into the bathroom, shooting Bowen a fierce glare, exclaiming, โYouโre such a rascal!โ
Bowen just arched an eyebrow, not even bothering to deny it.
Back in the bathroom, Aubree caught sight of herself in the mirror and was startled to see her cheeks completely flushed.
She reached out and patted her face, muttering to herself with a hint of self-disgust, โHe didnโt even do anything, so why on earth are you blushing like that!โ
After taking a moment to compose herself, Aubree unfolded the pajamas Bowen had set out for her. As she held them, she suddenly remembered the things sheโd promised Bowen in the car earlier.
For example, Ollie had recently visited a pajama expo overseas and brought back a few lovely pieces for Bowen. Bowen had picked out a couple he liked and said he wanted to see her wear them.
Aubree had honestly expected something a little on the wild side, but this outfit looked pretty normal.
It was a simple white pajama slip dress. The front was clean and elegant. Nothing was out of the ordinary aside from the open-back design, which was a bit unexpected. Other than that, it was like any other standard pajama set.
Aubree was honestly a bit surprised.
โIs this actually just a normal nightgown?โ Aubree wondered, feeling a little suspicious.
She slipped the dress on and, she had to admit, it looked pretty good on her.
The nightgown was made of luxurious silk, with a pearl belt cinched at the waist. The back was mostly bare, with only a few thin straps crisscrossing from her shoulders down to just above her hips.
Turning around to check herself out in the mirror, Aubree couldnโt help but snark, โThose straps are probably just there for the looks, and maybe a little extra fun, huh?โ
Once she had it on, she realized there was another problem. The dress was extremely short, and Aubree felt like she would be flashing someone if she took even one step.
She thought, โBut since it was just a nightgown anyway, who cared if it was a little short?โ
After psyching herself up, Aubree finally pushed open the bathroom door and walked out. Sure enough, Bowen was already sitting there, looking like heโd been waiting for this moment all along.
The moment he saw her, he was completely stunned. That simple yet cleverly designed white nightgown looked anything but ordinary on Aubree, and it brought out all her best features without missing a single one.
โBree, turn around for me,โ Bowen said in a low and smooth voice.
Aubree felt her whole body heat up under Bowenโs intense gaze, but since she was already wearing it, there was no point in being shy now.
She turned her head to the side and slowly shifted her body, bit by bit.
From the front, she looked like a pure saint from an ancient temple, but as she turned, a completely different kind of allure mixed into her aura.
