The hug lasted for a while as Isabelle really poured all of her sadness into that hug. Realizing how long she was crying, instead of being annoyed, Matthias was even more mad at himself. They have been with each other for almost ten years. In those times, he imagined how sad the woman was for all those years.
He sighed and continued to hug her. She then later slept in his embrace, while he was careful by not waking her up. Alexander, that mischievous boy, suddenly barged in and squeezed himself into that embrace, waking Isabelle.
"Aish, Alex!" Matthias reprimanded. "O-Oh, sorry about sleeping, Matthias. I hadn't realized that I was already asleep." Isabelle pushed him and hot out of his embrace. Matthias then immediately grabbed her hand, surprising her. But she was even more surprised when Matthias suddenly pulled her to his embrace.
He lifted her up from the ground and carried her in his arms, making her timid. He placed her on the bed gently and laid on the bed with her.
