118 chapter 118. I am really not as good as you think of me - 2

" You sure don't have your guard up in my presence right? So you were awake all this while, and made me carry you all the way to your room? Don't you think you need to compensate this young man for his hardwork, and you weren't even any light weight to carry around, " He white lies about her weight and spoke everything came to his mind, not turning around, his hand still grabbed by Aeinshia.

He thought she is playing around, but what he didn't knew was, even in her sleep, she recognised it's him beside her and didn't want to let him go anywhere.

A minute passed, yet he didn't get any reply from her end. As his patience thinned, he turned around to see what's  delaying her to respond back. To his surprise, all her actions were done unconsciously. At first he felt said, but as he gave a little more thought into it, happiness sweeped inside his heart.

She doesn't want to leave him even during sleep. This only shows how much she trusts him and wants him to stay behind. So isn't only correct for him to stay a little while with her?

To not disappoint his love, he finally resigned the idea to leave and finally sat next to her. Their hands still linked with each other.

His eyes travelled to her face and stopped at her eyes. Clearly he knew that, he can't see her deep ocean blue eyes, but even then, he just can't avert his gaze from her closed eyes, which gave a relaxed vibe to him.

A wave of gentle calm effect played surrounding him, as he witnessed her sleeping.

He smiled on himself at his foolishness.

How can I fall in love with you over and over again. I think I feel like I fall in love with you again and again with each passing second spending with you, watching you, thinking about you. Never a day in my life ends without your thoughts my love. Are you sure you didn't cast any spell on me?

( yeah, Evan. She casted a spell on you. And it's called love spell. I think the effects of the spell are visible already, lol) ~ author

His hand went near her soft slight pinkish cheeks. Placing his cold hands on her warm smooth skin, with eyes filled with love, affection and warmth, he continued his monologue.

I really miss our olden days. No matter how close we stayed, no one got any problems with us staying together daily. We even took our naps together, even then no one got problems with us. But now, since we grew up, whenever I got little intimate with you, people find it a problem, and the only reason for those stares is, we didn't marry yet. Aish~ why do people even care about others?

I really wouldn't have given a sh*t if it only included me, but you too involved in it. So I really can't drag you in this mess. So my love, grow up early. I hope years pass like days and the day finally comes, your coming-of-age ceremony. Let's marry soon after it and have a happy life together.

Just then, heavy wind began to blow from the windows, free strands of her hair began to dance oher her face, resulting her eyelids to quiver in discomfort.

Noticing her troubled expression, he immediately pushed those strands of hair behind her hair. He noticed, that he couldn't let hi if his gaze away from her flawless shining face. It's like a magnetic force is pulling him toward her, not letting him go away for her.

Do you remember? You would create a rampant if I didn't let you hold my hand before you drifted to your dreamland when you were young. So young that you often stumbled on yourself while walking. You sure are clingy back then. I wish you are now the same Aeinshia who follows my back every minute and second. But now see, time passed. We grew up, I got to leave capital for studies, away from you. I really missed you all these years.

In fact, I think I should be grateful. If it weren't for those days staying away from you, then I wouldn't have noticed how much I love you. I don't know whether it's my feeling or is it because I am too used to your presence. Now, I just can't live without you by my side. I can't even imagine my life without you for few months, let alone my life.

Smiling at her, " So my love, are you sleeping finely all those years without me beside you? "

He asked and paused, wishing she would answer it for him. Nonetheless, he didn't receive any response, crashing all his expectations.

Hahhaa~ he giggled. Feeling lovesick. She is right beside him, but he couldn't listen to her sweet honey like voice, making him feel sad.

You know what? I thought to propose you today, but dropped the idea. It's ok, we still got lots of time. I already prepared a ring for you. Hope you like it and always wear it on your ring finger. Let's say, after visiting aunt I will propose my love to you. Because, it's a sad day for our family. In fact, I really don't feel sad, cause it's the day my love born and I am sure, aunt too feels no regret in giving birth to you. Who can hate my cute wifey. Well, not yet, but you will be my wife sooner or later. So let's say you are my wifey already.

For few minutes, he stayed with her and spoke about the days how he spent reminiscing about her during his stay in city valencia.

Soon minutes passed by and it's already time for him to return back.

" Well, my wife. You never had your guard when I am around, but you know what? I am really not as good as you think I am. "

"Good night. "

Saying that he placed a goodnight kiss on her forehead, his lips touching her forehead. It's a short peck, but that peck meant a lot to him, " Well, sorry for touching you without your permission, but I say, this will only stay with us, precisely this secret only stays with me. So which means I technically didn't break your trust on me. Ok bye my lo---"

Thud~ thud~

Just then, a booming sound resounded around the whole capital.

Summoning alert! 

Emergency meeting~ now?

Question marks filled Evans brain. He immediately scrambled to his feet, leaving her hand and walked back to his room, his hand went near the door handle to open it. As if he remembered something, he  went back to her.

Grabbing the sheets and he neatly tugged her inside the bed, following it, he went near the window and slowly closed it for her, worrying she might wake up with the disturbances he is causing.

" Remember to close your windows my wifey. It's so cold outside, you will catch a cold otherwise, " He spoke to her, as if she is listening to him, yet he knew, that's not the case. So he marked about it in his brain and decided to speak about it later to her.

After checking that the room is warm enough to keep his Aeinshia safe, he went near her, grabbed her hand under the sheets and held her hand between his both hands, " Duty calls my wifey. Your husband needs to go. Rest well and stay warm, " Saying that he kissed her hand and neatly tugged her hand inside the sheets.

Soon after bidding bye to her, he left to leave the room. As soon as he took two steps, he remembered what he did now. He kissed her again. Her soft skin touching his warm lips. Unknowingly, his hand went to trace his lips, still feeling her touch. He couldn't believe it. In fact, he never thought he would do such an act without her knowledge. Everything felt like dream. All felt surreal.

Ouch~ A half scream passed in the air.

To test it, he pinched his hand hardly, following it, a scream earned from himself, the result of the pain he caused to himself.

He bit his lips to stop his scream and turned around, Aeinshia still sound asleep.

Phew~

He sighed in relief, happy that she didn't wake up because of him.

Thud~ thud~

The booming sound again resounded around the whole capital. While it's the sign for commoners to get back to their homes, it's the sign for officials and all other court men to come back to attend the meeting.

It's an very emergency meeting, so he immediately rushed down, unlike his slow actions while treating Aeinshia. Instead of using the coachman to take him back to palace, Evan went back on a horse.
