Chapter 899
Theodore gently stroked her long hair.
A familiar scene flashed past his mind.
Rosalie spent many mornings lying coyly in his arms just like this. He gently caressed her cheeks and long hair, and kissed her all over.
Aurora lay in his arms like a lazy kitten enjoying the caress of its owner.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She smiled; her delicate hands couldn't help but rub against his hard chest. She looked up and asked, "Theo, are you alright?"
Theodore shook his head very honestly. He didn't lie and say that he was fine just to reassure her.
Aurora gently caressed the wounds on his body, her heart breaking. "Do your wounds still hurt?"
Theodore shook his head. "They don't. Don't worry."
"Theodore, let's go back."
She didn't want Theodore to stay here and continue wallowing in sorrow. They would return and stay as far away from this place as possible. "Don't you want to travel around this country? We've only just arrived," Theodore said.
"It's alright. We can go traveling elsewhere."
She instinctively said "we", but regretted it when the words left her lips.
What right did she have to make plans for them as a unit?
Theodore had come to Melrine for his ex-wife, not for her. He surely wouldn't accompany her in her travels to other places.
"Let's stay here for a few more days. I can accompany you out for some fun. You came all the way here, can't go back just like this."
Aurora was pleased to hear what Theodore said, but a thought soon came to mind.
"If we stay here, will you..."
"It's fine." Theodore knew what she was concerned about. "I won't go find her. I'll just accompany you for the rest of the time. We'll head back once you've had your fill."
Aurora nodded, lying happily in his arms and hugging him tight.
She was so close to Theodore. To be able to hug him like this and sleep on the same bed as him was good enough. Even though they didn't have sex, she was convinced that it was only a matter of time.
Now, Aurora had greater dreams. She wanted to marry Theodore and be his wife. She even wanted to win his heart and make him love her.
She would do all she could to achieve this goal. They would surely have their happily ever after.
"Are you hungry?"
Theodore knew Aurora hadn't eaten much yesterday; she must be starving.
He wasn't hungry, though. He wasn't in the mood for food.
"Now that you mentioned it," Aurora said, "I am a little hungry. I'll prepare breakfast."
With that said, she stood up.
Theodore said, "Let me."
He pressed Aurora back down on the bed by her shoulders, then pulled the covers over her.
"Sleep a while longer. I'll wake you up when breakfast is ready."
"How could I let you do that?" Aurora said anxiously. "Let me do it instead."
Theodore had been through so
much
yesterday and was probabl
still II in a terrible mood. She wanted to make breakfast for him.
"It's fine, let me do it. Let me do something, it'll only be good for me," Theodore insisted.
Since Theodore said so, Aurora naturally had no reason to reject him, so she nodded.
"Alright, then. Do you need my help?"
"No. Go back to sleep."
With that, Theodore got out of bed and walked to the washroom.
When he left the washroom, he
wrapped a
waist
towel around his and headed to the coat room to get
Sanged.
Aurora kept staring at him from inside in the sheets. She reached out to gently caress her flushed cheeks.
She felt so happy when he kissed her last night, and thought they would soon...
To think he released her at the very last second!
