บท 285: The Ring

Adeline returned back to her own quarter to change out of the gown that she was wearing and put on something more appropriate for her status.

When she entered her private chamber, she found Theodore sound asleep on her bed.

She heaved a sigh of relief and tip-toed towards the bed. He looked really attractive when he was sleeping like a baby so she did not want to wake him up.

However, her plan to quietly watch Theodore was ruined. Theodore opened his eyes almost instantly as a sweet fragrance entered his nose. He gazed at Adeline and gave a soft smile to her.

"You came?" Theodore stretched his arms and yawned.

Adeline climbed on the bed and then rested her head on Theodore's chest. She wrapped him in a tight embrace and whispered, "That was going to be my question. Where were you yesterday? I desperately waited for you the whole day but you never came."
