Bab 447: Pleasing

Howard tilted his head slightly, settling into a comfortable position as he murmured, "Ah, I'm a bit tired now. Just let me lie here for a while."

The woman with the bucket waist finally voiced her thoughts, "Husband, the man Nia brought this time seems to have taken a liking to her."

"Taken a liking? What do you mean?" the man inquired, curiosity piqued.
