Derila had been holed up in the house for the entire day, causing her to feel
extremely bored.She could not do anything but lie down to sleep, even needing people
to serve her food.
Although she wanted to stroll on the beach, two medical staff and a bunch of maids
would follow behind despite it being a private beach.
Therefore, she decided against the thought of going there.
Thankfully, time flew by, and it was already late evening.
Derila was reading a medical book while lying on the sofa, glancing at the wall
clock from time to time.
Although it was already nine o'clock, Daemon was still not back.
Plus, he did not send her a text message or give her a phone call for the entire day.
What's there in Aymo City for him to busy himself until now? Did he perhaps return to
Erihal? While she was thinking of that, footsteps could be heard in the distance,
followed by the maids' greetings.
"Mr.Lierger is back!"
"Mhm."
Daemon had become more approachable lately and began to respond to the maids'
greetings.
Back then, he was always aloof and emitting a cold aura, causing everyone to be afraid
of him.
Recently, the maids had secretly discussed how approachable he had become.
When Derila heard the noise outside, she quickly placed her bock down and
pretended to sleep.
When Daemon pushed open the door, he took off his jacket and flung it to the bed.
Then, he started to unbutton his shirt while approaching Derila.
Derila felt nervous when she heard the footsteps getting nearer and nearer.
While hugging the pillow, she continued to fake sleep.
With her eyes closed, she could feel his presence as he sat beside her and his warm
palm caressing her cheek.She felt a bit nervous when she thought of the kiss last night.
Would he…
Before she could respond, Daemon leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead
before moving down her eyes.
Derila squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath, not daring to move.She had
already decided not to push him away if he were to continue.
However, Daemon stopped short when he came to her ears.
Biting her earlobes, he said, "Quit pretending to sleep!"
After getting exposed, Derila opened her eyes with a blushing face.
"How do you know I was not asleep?"
"How can you fool me with the tactic of yours?"
Daemon pinched her cheeks, her gaze was filled with adoration.
"What did you do today?"
Derila snuggled into his embrace.
Without her noticing it, her voice had softened when it came to him.
"I settled some matters"
Daemon replied without going into the details.
"I'll need to fly to M Nation first thing in the morning."
"Huh?"
Derila was taken aback.
"Why?"
She did not expect him to leave so soon when they had just gotten into a relationship.
"I have some matters to attend to"
Daemon answered without thinking.
"I have placed it aside long enough, so I must return immediately"
"Okay, then."
Derila figured it was reasonable.
"Go ahead."
"All right.Good girl!"
Daemon kissed her forehead before he got up and left.
"Where are you going?" she blurted out.
"Why? Do you want me to stay?"
Daemon shot a half-smile at her.
"No way!"
Derila quickly denied it with a blushing face.
"I'm just asking"
"I'm going to the study room.You should get some sleep.I'll see you at breakfast
tomorrow."
Daemon left after changing his clothes.
"Okay"
Derila felt disappointed when looking at his leaving figure.He has been suddenly so
busy these past two days, and he even needs to go to M Nation tomorrow.
Why do I feel like he's not as affectionate as before? He always hugged me to sleep no
matter how tired he was back then.
However, he's sleeping in the guest room now.
Derila picked up her phone and wanted to search for some dating tips.
At that moment, Layla suddenly called her.
"Ms.Layla!"
Derila greeted after picking up the call.
"Oh, my dear girl! You've finally picked up! I was getting anxious."
"Didn't Daemon already send someone to tell you that I'm fine? That's why I thought of
getting in touch with you when my injuries get better."
"They did.However, I will only feel at ease when I get to talk to you" Layla answered
anxiously.
"Are you okay? How are you feeling? Is the surgery successful?"
