Chapter 464: playing house is not as easy as I thought
"Ah, I should have lit up the lantern first before we went," Natha slapped his forehead when we returned to a dark cabin. Dark everywhere, honestly, since we were in the middle of the woods.
Thankfully, there were fireflies and some glowing moss around the cabin and the river, so it was actually pretty nice--not a horror vibe, I mean.
"I’m sorry sweetheart--I want to make it perfect, but..."
I couldn’t help but laugh at his worried face. It was kind of cute that he always wanted to look cool and everything, but I loved his occasional slip-up as much as his cool countenance.
"I don’t want it to be perfect, though..." I grinned and kissed him before climbing up to the dark porch. "You’re not in front of your subordinates anymore, so stop acting cool in front of your husband."
"Say that again," he pulled my waist and pinned me against the porch railing. "And stop acting shy in front of your husband."
Ouch? But I laughed and put my arms around his neck. Well...we were in the middle of nowhere after all. "Fine, you petty husband."
The soft vibration of his laughter came before his kiss, which continued until we entered the cabin. We had to fumble in the dark, however, and I couldn’t help but break the kiss to laugh as we stumbled around the furniture. Natha chuckled and finally lit up the mana lantern around the cabin.
Oh, it was as lovely as I imagined! We had a fireplace, which Natha immediately lit. There was a snug-looking couch and a fluffy rug in front of it, as well as some blankets and pillows. That was it. Nice and simple. There was a kitchen on the other side of the room, and across from the sliding window that was attached to the patio, there was a door that should lead to the bedroom.
I skipped toward the door and opened it--of course, it was still dark. Natha came and activated the mana lantern too, and I immediately found out that the bedroom was basically a copy of the Lair’s bedroom. I laughed at how the bedroom was basically bigger than the living room, but I was happy that we still had a big bed even here.
"I’m going to make us dinner, so you can rest for a bit," Natha said after chuckling at how I jumped into the big, plush bed.
