Chapter 258. Care About Her
Mauve sat on the bed as she waited for Mill to return with her bath water. She was tired even though she just woke up and her neck hurt. She wondered if it had to do with the fact that she slept in a particular position for such a long time.
She turned her neck to the left and right side in an attempt to release the tension. She then stretched the rest of her body. She felt a bit sore but it was nothing a little warm bath couldn’t take care of.
As if on cue with her thoughts, the door flew open and Mill walked in with the tub and a servant walked behind her with the bathwater.
She watched them place it in the corner before slowly rising to her feet with the sheets still wrapped around her body. She stood beside the bed until the servant left the rolma nd Mill walked to where she stood.
Together, they tried to untangle the mess as it was not only wrapped around her legs but it was also heavy. Finally, they succeeded and Mill gathered the sheets and placed them on the bed while Mauve started walking away from the bed to the tub.
Just before she would reach the tub. The connecting door flew open and Jael walked into the room, dressed in his usual outfit. A pair of pants and a loose shirt.
The rope around his neck was untied, revealing his chest. His hair was also wet but thankfully, it wasn’t dripping.
"Sire," Mill said as she caught sight of him and immediately bent her head.
Mauve had turned around to look at the sound of the door opening but as soon as she saw him, she turned back, hiding her naked body as best as she could from him
"What are you doing here?" She yelled with her back to him.
Jael grunted loud enough for her to hear and crossed the room to reach her in two long strides. He stopped behind her and pulled her back against him.
