Chapter 748: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 31
Zein used to have his leisure time during the day when he only had the twins. After Lucy came, however, he had to take care of her without any help from a nanny. Only after Lucy managed to sleep alone at night did Zein regain his leisure time, about half an hour before bed, where he just stared at the sea with a drink in hand.
Sometimes, however, his clingy husband would join him.
"Something’s in your mind lately," Bassena put his chin on Zein’s shoulder, tilting his head adorably while circling his arms around the guide’s waist.
One thing a quiet house gave them was definitely more intimate times; more cuddles and just spending time with just the two of them. Although...rather than the twins’ absence, most of it was because Lucy no longer needed constant supervision, so Zein didn’t have to be around her all the time like before.
"Were you thinking about our boys?" the esper asked again, kissing the fair neck softly.
"That’s you," Zein chuckled, leaning back to the warm chest behind him. "I’m thinking about Lucy."
"Oh?" Bassena pulled back, turning his head in the direction of their daughter’s bedroom, where Lucy was sleeping under the watchful eyes of his children of darkness. "Why? What’s wrong? She looks fine."
"She is fine," Zein nodded. He sipped on the warm cocoa and let the sweet liquid caress his system. "She just...had been dreaming about her past life."
"What?" Bassena widened his eyes. "You mean...as Setnath?"
Zein shook his head and turned around so he could face his esper. "As Lucre, to be exact--at least so far. Although..." he frowned slightly. "I’m not sure how far the dream will continue."
Zein proceeded to tell Bassena about the dreams that Lucy said she had. Strange dreams, she called them. She usually forgot the dream right away, but recalled them when she saw something similar.
