Chapter 31 - She felt a sudden warmth emanating from her lap

As Emma was lost in her thoughts, she felt a sudden warmth emanating from her lap. Startled, she instinctively glanced downwards and there she saw her husband, nestled soundly in her embrace, taking a peaceful nap.

She was taken aback by this unsuspected gesture from him and it caused her body to instantly suffuse with a rush of warmth and tenderness.

Why he does do this?

He is again not obeying the contract.

At that moment, Emma couldn't help but feel a profound sense of love and affection for this man who had chosen to share his life with her.

Without thinking Emma was running her fingers through David's hair and she was completely caught off guard.

The aroma emanating from David was so tantalizing and sweet that Emma seemed to forget all her worries and just lost herself in the moment.

David's hair felt so smooth and silky and it shone like a light like it was something out of a magazine.

Emma marveled at it, wondering what kind of shampoo he used, as she longed to have hair just as lustrous and shiny as his.

She breathed in deeply, taking in his heavy scent, and reveled at the moment they shared.

As Emma stirred from her slumber she couldn't help but notice that a few hours had elapsed since she last remembered feeling aware.

She had fallen asleep sitting on the bench, with her dearest husband David resting his head in her lap, while the gentle breeze blew past them.

David and Emma seemed to be the perfect match both in mind and spirit; they seemed like two love birds, lost in a world of their own as they basked in the endless sea of love that they shared.

The servants' quarter was near the garden.

In the servant's quarter:

A housekeeper named Luna woke up. She felt an unquenchable thirst and decide to head toward the kitchen for a drink. However, as she drew near the kitchen window, she was taken aback by what she saw. There in the garden, there the young master and young mistress, sleeping on the bench, seemingly lost in their dreams.

She was worried that their precarious predicament might make them susceptible to sickness.
