Jaylene stood there in a daze, when a series of "ding dong ding" sounds echoed in the room. At first, she thought it was the sound of a mountain spring, but then she snapped back to reality.
However, the "ding dong ding" sounds continued, and they were very regular.
It was the doorbell, someone was ringing the doorbell!
Half-asleep, she groggily got up from the sofa and threw off the curtain she was wrapped in. As she got out of bed, the curtain hook caught her foot, and she almost fell forward.
Regaining her balance, she stumbled toward the still ringing doorbell. When she reached the doorway and put her hand on the lock, she suddenly realized—
This wasn't her home, and whoever was coming in wouldn't be looking for her!
Looking down at her oversized men's sleepwear, Jaylene finally came to her senses.
This was Joseph Thompson's house, and it had nothing to do with her!
So, she immediately turned around and quickly ran upstairs, hastily knocking on the master bedroom door.
