บท 327: You're Always Wrong

"You're still awake?"

Orius Alewine shifted his gaze to his left when he heard his wife's voice. "Did I wake you?" he asked her back.

Valerie shook her head and slightly pushed herself up. "What's the matter? It's already late."

"I can't sleep," Orius muttered and turned his body towards her. "You should sleep again," he calmly said as he caressed her hair.

"Did something happen while you go out with the Crown Prince?" Valerie asked.

Wasn't he fine before that?

"It's nothing," Orius replied and forced a little smile but Valerie saw through him.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep anymore," she pointed out. "You make me worried."

Hearing this, the fake smile of the Duke slipped a bit. "But there are still a few hours left before the sunrise. You won't get enough sleep if you wake up now."
