He was so happy to have her as his wife and this conversation after breakfast proved to him that she was such a smart and wonderful woman who could hold her own before his cunning mother.
He also had just returned from a long trip. Right now, all he wanted to do was spend time with her and listen to what she had to say.
Didn't she tell him that she had a sweet surprise for him? He was curious to know because he could sense that it truly made his mate feel very happy.
He wanted to share whatever good news she had. So, now, Leland would have preferred to cherish his wife some more before going to battle again.
The crown prince was undoubtedly in a precarious position since his father died, so what difference would it be to wait for a little more?
