Baron Stuart's lips slightly curl up as he smiles, and then he lifts her horizontally, "Did I wake you up?"
Emily Walker is caught off guard by his sudden movement and takes her time to shake her head, "No."
The two return to the bedroom and get back into bed.
Emily isn't sure if it's because she's been too sensitive recently, but his embrace makes her think that he wants to do something.
However, after getting into bed, Baron Stuart doesn't do anything. He simply holds her close, and they quietly listen to each other's breathing.
He remains still, and Emily can't help but feel a little disappointed again.
Has she really lost her appeal to him? Is there no more novelty left?
Listening to his steady breathing, Emily can't find any trace of sleepiness.
They stay silent for a while before she speaks up softly, "Baron Stuart."
"Mm." His eyes are lightly closed, and his deep voice slightly resonates.
