Aidan Lucas was surprisingly in a good mood and had the patience to appease her.
"Good girl, sleep a bit more."
He gently patted her back, his strong arms hugging her tighter, "I wore you out last night, I'll wake you up when we get to M Country."
Lily Gray didn't really want to listen to Aidan Lucas, but she was weak and drained, utterly incapable of arguing with him.
Well, she was "his" for the rest of the year. If he didn't mind carrying her and wasn't tired, then let him carry her.
Not overthinking anymore, Lily Gray found a comfortable position in the man's arms. Her face rested against his chest while her hands clung to his slender waist. In no time, she had drifted off to sleep once again.
Looking at the woman soundly asleep in his arms, a hidden glimmer flickered through Aidan Lucas's deep-dark gaze.
