Nearing noon, Iris continued reading her book about magic. However, she got distracted when she saw Xavier walk into the room with a big smile on his handsome face.
She was stunned. Seeing him smile like that was rare because this man was very stingy in showing his expressions. After placing her book on the coffee table, she slowly stood and walked to him.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Xavier. Did something good happen?" She stopped right before him while looking up to meet his gaze.
Xavier didn't answer her question immediately. He placed his hand on her slender waist and drew her into his arms. When their gaze met, he said, "Did my darling forget something?" his smile was still there.
"Forget something?" Iris repeated his words with a faint line that appeared on her forehead, confused. However, her confusion faded when she realized what he meant. He must be talking about Eric.
"D-Did he wake up!?" Iris asked, her voice trembling.
