Linley clearly could sense how, when he held Alice in his arms when they were young, he had felt happy. But now, when he held Delia in his arms, Linley felt, in the deepest part of his heart, a sort of contentment, a spiritual fulfillment!
This…was true happiness!
The ice covering Linley’s heart had totally melted.
Delia’s face was covered with smiles. She had never been so happy before.
“Linley. I’m so happy.” Delia gently whispered into Linley’s arms.
“Me too.” Linley gently stroked Delia’s fragrant hair and touched her sleek shoulders.
Delia obediently rested herself against Linley’s chest. She murmured, “Linley, I feel as though I’m in a dream…tell me, is this real?” That tough woman who could make even an Emperor feel nervous was now as obedient as a child.
“It’s real, it’s real.” Linley could feel the warmth from Delia’s body, and a warm, protective feeling arose in his heart.
