After the physician left Edwin's chamber, Rees also left as he had to take care of many things. Edwin was waiting for Ruth, and when she came, she did not look in a pleasant mood.
A cute frown adorned her round face as she walked into his chamber. Edwin saw her lips moving in some incoherent mumbling. He tried listening to it but could not understand a single word she said.
"It took you long to come back." He said, pulling her to his chest.
The warmth spread in his chest with her presence!
Edwin thought how he had lived so long without her?
"hmm"
Ruth relaxed in his arms, the creases on her forehead smoothened as soon as she rested her face on his chest.
Edwin hid his face in her long toffee brown hair and dragged in a long breath. Her distinct flowery scent tingled him softly. He could dive in the pool of that scent and not come out for aeons.
He played with the loose strands of hair on her back.
"You are annoyed." He noted with a muffled voice.
