"Did I turn on the airconditioner before sleeping?" The first thing Rosaline thought after feeling cold was to check Airconditioner temperature.Strangely, the air conditioner is turned off and she didn't turn it on either.Both the freezing coldness is not the ordinary coldness, it's a kind that sneaks into rooms during winter nights, but a suffocating, unnatural chill that crawled across her skin like icy fingers.She blinked her eyes in shock, breath forming a faint mist in the air.The room was dark but not silent, something within the atmosphere had changed… sharply, and terribly.Her gaze immediately moved to Christian.He slept curled slightly toward her, lashes trembling, his hand half-buried in the blanket.His skin glowed faintly under the silver night light, not with power, but the gentleness that made him look like an angel belonged to a different world."Arghh this guy's charm!" Rosaline sighed inwardly as she forgot the real thing while lost in admiring Christian's featu

"Wh... What do you mean by that, dear?" Edward raised an eyebrow being intrigued by Christian's question, while Christian gently spoke, "yes, I still can't believe that you are allowing me to go meet Mr. Adrian, why?" Edward crossed his arms with a soft smile, "Why do you think like that? Why wouldn't I allow you? Did I ever say no to you?" "Did you ever say yes easily, uncle?" Christian huffed with a pout, "Only uncle Charles says yes to everything I ask, whenever I ask your permission over something, you'll just say no... Not now, you never accepted anything easily, whether it's my first time wanting to go to Valemire's mansion or even visiting that auction event...." Edward was watching Christian's adorable as he was complaining, while Rosaline also quietly listening to everything as she was mesmerized by Christian and his way of talking.Christian took a deep breath and continued, "you didn't easily accept, as you worry about me a lot.... But when I told about meeting Mr. Adria

"I promise," Rosaline smiled, "I really promise you baby boy, whenever I close my eyes it's you I see every single time, whenever I think about the future, it's you all I remember! So I prepared myself to live the rest of my life with you only!" He shifted slightly, one hand reaching up, hesitant, unsure, before gently gripping her wrist.A soft, intimate silence settled over them, after enjoying the silent intimacy in between them, "Are we really going to stop here?" Rosaline continued stroking his hair, tracing along the edges of his jaw, brushing her fingertips over the faint lines of exhaustion on his face. "Do you want to stop or continue?" "Up to you," he looked excited, for the first time ever and she can see it clearly.Rosaline felt his fingers curl slightly around her wrist, soft at first, then tightening with a quiet need that sent warmth spiraling through her chest."It's really up to you, whatever you say, I'll listen to that," he whispered again, but this time his vo

"He’s not my mysterious anything!" Christian groaned and buried his face in the pillow. "He is just Mr. Adrian Nevermore...."Rosaline sat beside him, stroking his hair. "Well, maybe you don't know this, but his surname is not Nevermore." "I know," Christian said to her, "I also know it's his mother's surname, Mrs. Nevermore separated from her husband and took her own family's surname, looks like Mr. Adrian also using the same surname as his mother's rather than his father." Rosaline crossed her arms with a curious look, "all these happened even before you were born, many of the people in high society don't know this clearly... But how come you know everything this perfectly?" "Aurora," he let out a faint smile, "Aurora told me all of these before when we met in the auction event back then, I also had a zero knowledge about Nevermore family, due to Aurora I got to know a few things about him." Rosaline sneered, "it's not a few things, she almost gave a detailed backstory of that f

"Stop it Rose, you think too much, and talk too much," Christian let out a sigh because of the way she said as if Adrian is the most important person to him, "I’m calling to him, because Uncle Edward said so.... Nothing more than that!" "Oh sure," Rosaline smirked. "You're calling him not because you wanted to hear his voice? Come on Chris, you can fool but not others, I'm your wife and I know you well better than anyone else... So, just stop it, already!" He glared at her. "Come on Rose, you really know how to ruin my mood, just stop making things weird, don't you yourself find it silly? Why would I even want to hear his voice? What's even there to hear in it?""How could I know?" Rosaline raised an eyebrow, "Only you know when you wanted to hear the voice of someone, last night didn't you want to hear my voice in the same way? I really remember how you pleaded me to call your name again and again last night!" His ears turned red, very red because of what she has said, he never ex
