Chapter 11 Can I Stay at Your Place Tonight?
Zoey went to an ice cream shop and rented a power bank to charge.
After turning on her phone, she discovered that Russell had sent her a message, which said that the butler was waiting for her at the same place.
She replied to Russell’s message: “My phone ran out of battery, I just charged it and turned it on. I’ll be there in a moment…”
Russell’s call came in before she finished typing the words.
She picked up and heard the slightly anxious voice of a man, “Where are you?”
“Oh, my phone ran out of battery. I found a power bank to charge it at the milk tea shop and just saw your message. I was about to reply to you.”
“Send me your location, I will come to pick you up.”
Zoey was surprised, “You came back?”
“Um, send me the location.”
“Oh, okay.”
Zoey did not hang up the phone and sent him a location.
“How did you come back?”
Russell fell silent for a moment and said, “The project issues

were resolved, but I didn’t sleep well at the hotel.”
Troy: “…” Just won’t admit it, would you?!
Zoey sighed, “I thought you missed me.”
Russell did not respond.
Zoey smiled and asked, “Did you miss me even just a little bit?”
The man seemed to hmm, his voice was very soft.
Zoey’s lips curved up, “Russell.”
“Hmm?”
The man’s sexy tone rose, and Zoey felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
In the past, Zoey never flirted with Russell, and all she saw was his serious and rigid side.
In this life, she wanted to see what kind of volcanic lava flows beneath the surface of this iceberg.
Her laughter was sweet, “Russell, I missed you.”
These few words were as sweet as rolling in a sugar jar. The man’s hand holding the phone tightened slightly, his voice hoarse, and he made a soft “hmm” sound.
Zoey looked up at the projector above the power source and asked, “What would you like to drink? Milk tea or fruit tea?”
“I wasn’t thirsty, you can choose whatever you like to drink.”

she wanted to gain some benefits from me.”
In her mind, the image of her previous life before death flashed again. Zoey instinctively held onto the man’s arm and said, “Fortunately, everything is still in time. I won’t be foolish anymore.” Everything is still in time, and you are still here.
Russell gently looked at the girl’s hair, “The Maddox Group has an entertainment company, and you like singing, I will provide you with a stage.”
Zoey shook her head, “In the future, I will only sing for Mr. Maddox. I only need you as my audience.”
She looked up at him, her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent _shape, “How about that?”
Russell fixed his gaze on her painted pupils and said, “Okay.”
Zoey’s eyes curved with a smile, “Did you have dinner tonight?”
Russell hadn’t even had a chance to speak when Troy, sitting in the driver’s seat, said, “Mr. Russell ate very little for dinner. He had originally planned to have a late–night snack after the meeting, but when he heard from the butler that he hadn’t received any messages from you, he immediately ended the meeting and rushed back.”
Russell glanced ahead and said, “Mind your own business.”
Troy smiled and said, “Mr. Russell, you care about Mrs. Maddox, you must let her know.”
เ
Zoey’s eyes lit up, “So you weren’t uncomfortable sleeping at the hotel, but you were worried about me, right? Honey, you’re

Zoey nodded solemnly, “No trouble.”
After the two of them finished their meal, Joanna brought a bowl of dark and thick herbal soup in front of Russell.
“Mr. Russell, your herbal soup is ready.”
Zoey remembered last night when she took Russell’s pulse, and she found that there was a clash between hot and cold energy flows in his body, which would cause long–term damage to his health.
Watching the man pick up the medicine bowl, Zoey intervened, “Wait.”
Russell looked at her in confusion.
Zoey took the medicine bowl and sniffed it. Inside were all hot medicinal herbs, used to dispel cold. But how did the cold energy flow form in his body?
It could only be in the medications that were taken regularly or were consumed in the diet.
To find out who did this, she’d have to keep quiet at the moment.
Zoey frowned and asked, “It looks so bitter, can you drink it?”
“Fortunately, I have already gotten used to it,” Russell took it and drank.
Zoey glanced at Joanna and didn’t notice any unusual expression, so she pushed Russell back to the bedroom.
“You should go back and rest early.”

Zoey stifled a laugh, his legs were clearly fine but he had to pretend.
She watched as the man lay down properly, and then she lay down next to him, covering him with a blanket.
“Husband, goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” Russell said as he raised his hand to turn off the bedside lamp.
The room plunged into darkness, senses heightened, the sound of their breathing became particularly clear.
The atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous, occasionally accompanied by the sound of a man swallowing, thick and seductive.
Zoey’s heart was pounding as she tentatively reached out to grab the man’s arm.
Russell, however, withdrew and said, “I ‘m not really used to this.”
“Then I will sleep over there,” Zoey said with a hint of grievance in her voice.
“No need, just stay there like this.”
Zoey was originally about to turn around, but instantly turned back. She carefully kept a distance of one person from the man and said, “I’m a very still sleeper, I won’t move around.”
Russell nodded and said, “Go to sleep.”
“Okay,” Zoey’s lips curled up, the cold and clean scent from the

The girl’s dark hair was spread out on the snow–white pillow, and her small face, the size of a palm, had delicate features.
The raven–like long eyelashes presented a fan–shaped silhouette, and the diamond–shaped lips slightly pouted due to the squeeze, serene and adorable.
Russell’s gaze naturally lowered, and his Adam’s apple rolled a few times.
Zoey was wearing a pearl white camisole nightgown, exposing large areas of snow–white skin. Her delicate collarbone and deep cleavage were impossible to ignore.
Russell turned his eyes away, feeling a sudden heat rush through his body.
He took a deep breath and felt that the little thing on the bed was torturing him by staying overnight.
Zoey groggily opened her eyes and found a man by her bedside. She propped herself up with her arm and said, “You’re back, come to bed quickly.”
Russell made a hoarse sound and looked at Zoey. Her shoulder strap slipped down, revealing the scenery in front of her.
“Your shoulder strap…”
Zoey looked down for a moment, instantly becoming more alert. She quickly asked, “Um, do you need me to help you up?”
Russell said quietly, “I’ll do it myself.”
He sat on the bed, propping himself up with both hands, and then lifted his legs onto the bed one by one.

Russell: “You go to sleep first, I will have a video conference in the study.”
[Okay.]
After Zoey replied, she began searching for the medications Russell used to take on a regular basis.
She found two small white bottles in the medicine cabinet, opened them, and poured out the contents.
She sniffed and there was a faint bitter taste.
Specific components need to be identified and analyzed using instruments.
Because there were many pills in the small bottle, she poured out one pill and kept it, then she put the small bottle back into its place.
RAL
She put the pills back in her bedroom, then put on a knitted cardigan and went downstairs holding a small black object. After arranging everything, she returned to Russell’s bedroom. Zoey waited until the late night, but Russell had not returned. Unconsciously, her eyelids started to fight, and her eyes closed.
About an hour later, the door handle was pressed down, and the door was pushed open. Russell, sitting in a wheelchair, came back and gently closed the door.
There was a wall lamp by the bedside, and Russell approached the bed, looking at the raised bump under the blanket.

Hanging up the phone, Russell looked at her and asked, “What did you just say?”
Zoey blinked her eyes and said, “Can I sleep here tonight?”
Russell didn’t expect Zoey to make such a request, and he furrowed his brow.
Zoey noticed that the man was hesitating, and she worried that he would refuse. She quickly said “Just this one night?”
Russell looked at her hopeful expression and, in the end, softened his heart. “Okay.”
Zoey happily tiptoed and said, “Then I’ll go back and take a _shower before coming over.” After saying that, she ran out of
the bedroom.
Returning to the next door, Zoey then discovered that there was an additional vanity table in the bedroom, on which various high- end branded sets of cosmetics were displayed.
There were still beautifully designed pajamas, sleep pants, and nightgowns on the bed.
She curved her lips and entered the bathroom, holding a silk nightgown.
When she came out again, she had already blow–dried her hair, changed into a nightgown, and applied a pleasant–smelling body lotion.
When she arrived at Russell’s bedroom, there was nobody inside.
At that moment, her phone vibrated.
