章 201: 10 minutes

Warm sunlight kissed Matthew Xi's face gently, causing his eyes beneath his eyelids to flicker slowly before they opened. Opening them halfway, he glanced at his side upon the slight movement. 

Unconsciously, the side of his lips curled into a relieved smile. He felt the surge of warmth envelope his ice-cold heart as he set his pair of russet eyes on the beauty sleeping peacefully beside him. 

He slowly turned to his side, facing her as he studied Zoey's sleeping face. 'What a morning...' he muttered internally, having never felt this contentment in the morning ever in his life. 

Closing his eyes again, Matthew Xi opened them again slowly. As he did so, he saw Zoey with the same peaceful front in the same position. Hence, a sigh of relief slipped past his lips.
