Chapter 796

796 Chapter 795

Charles cracked open his door just a bit, watching as a sneaky figure slipped into the guest room next door.

Wait—wasn’t that Peter?

Groggy and confused, Charles wondered what Peter was doing, sneaking into the guest room instead of staying in his own.

Curious, he stepped closer, pressing his ear to the door. Voices trickled through.

A girl’s surprised gasp: “Peter, what are you doing p>

It was Jenkins.

Then came Peter’s low, creepy chuckle. “What do you think I’m doing in the middle of the night? Jenkins, we’re together now—no need to tiptoe around anymore p>

Jenkins sounded alarmed. “No, wait, I p>

Her protest was quickly muffled, followed by a soft thud as if someone had been tossed onto the bed.

Peter released her, and Jenkins spoke up again, sounding indignant. “This is the Olsen house, Peter! You’re not scared at all? What if someone catches us p>

“You’re my girlfriend. Why does it matter if anyone finds out? Besides, this isn’t the first time…we’ve already done it at your place, remember p>

“Stop—don’t say that p>

From the sound of it, she was embarrassed and had covered his mouth.

But Peter, emboldened, clearly wasn’t about to hold back now.

Soon, noises that really weren’t for young ears drifted from the room.

Charles’s face turned crimson as he quickly straightened up. He’d suspected something between Peter and Jenkins, but knowing they’d already gone that far—now, that was unexpected.

A playful voice beside him broke his thoughts. “Peter sure has guts, doesn’t he p>

Without thinking, Charles gave a little nod, barely realizing he’d done it.

Oh, he definitely did.

The guest room had thinner walls than theirs, and now, the noise level from inside made it clear Peter was putting in quite an effort.

Charles tsked in disbelief. Just as he was about to turn away, he suddenly froze, meeting Erin’s wide, curious eyes.

He stumbled back a few steps, stammering, “What…what are you doing here p>

Erin had her ear to the door, listening with wide-eyed fascination. “How far along do you think they are? Clothes off yet p>

Charles felt his face burn hotter. “What’s with you? You’re a girl—don’t you know any shame p>

Erin just shrugged. “It’s a normal, healthy thing. What’s there to be embarrassed about p>

Then she looked at him more closely. “Or don’t you want to p>

Charles’s face turned even redder. Growing up abroad, Erin had always been open-minded. To her, these things were just…normal.

But Charles was still innocent when it came to this stuff.

He’d devoted himself to science for so long, and the most he’d ever done was kiss her. Beyond that? This was a whole new realm.

Looking at her helplessly, he took her by the shoulders and gently pushed her back towards his room. “It’s late. Go to bed already. Stop causing trouble p>

“I wasn’t causing trouble—I was looking for you. Don’t you really have that kind of need p>

Charles’s ears went red, but he tried to keep his tone steady. “We’re not there yet! Maybe when you turn twenty p>

Erin was only nineteen. He was right; she was still a bit young.

Erin sighed in mock disappointment. “Alright. Then for my twentieth birthday, maybe we can try p>

“You—you really don’t know when to stop p>

Charles’s face was almost glowing, and he could barely look at her. “How are you so…shameless p>

He turned her around, pushing her into his room before she could look back. “Get in there and sleep. Quit with the nonsense p>

“Alright p>

Erin’s obedient response only made Charles’s face feel hotter.

He practically sprinted back to his own room after that, making sure to lock the door, his heart racing.

He couldn’t risk Erin sneaking in at night—he might not be able to resist.

And so, Charles spent the night in a fitful, wide-awake daze, thoughts churning endlessly. When he came down the next morning, Keira Olsen noticed the dark circles under his eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to you p>

Erin, biting into her toast, offered a suggestion. “Maybe he’s still shaken from last night p>

Keira raised an eyebrow. “From what p>

“Oh, Peter went into Jenkins’s room last night,” Erin explained casually, “and Charles heard them p>

Keira blinked. “How would you know p>

“I saw it myself, too p>

Keira had nothing to say to that.

Young love these days was truly wild.

As she turned, she spotted Jenkins standing nearby, face flushed. The moment Keira made eye contact, Jenkins tried to slip away

Keira called her back gently. “Hold on, Jenkins. I have something to say p>

Jenkins stopped, looking back at her, blushing even harder as Keira stepped closer, giving her an appraising look. Finally, Keira smiled, a touch of mischief in her tone. “Good morning, Lion p>
