Chapter 202: A Hiccup in Recovery
Liam could not control his smile as he was preparing for bed. Rory wanted to take a bath. Ellie fell asleep. Maybe she absorbed her mother’s good mood, she ate her dinner and slept peacefully.
He rehashed everything Rory said after her return. His face hurt because of smiling too much, but he couldn’t control his grin.
She explained how it would take years for him to get there. She predicted that he would be in his forties and so would be she too when he forms an empire. It made him dizzy with happiness as she spoke of her plans.
She wanted to be his support. She said she will do everything she can to make him the emperor. She said that she is not a princess who will be pampered. As someone aspiring to be an empress, she said that she will work alongside him. She will have to attend parties with him, gather intel, make connections, host parties, and make sure he is surrounded by the right people.
She said that she has duties.
He didn’t realize the difference between a princess and a queen until then. She is a queen. She was always a queen, never a princess. She always had duties. But maybe it won’t be wrong of him to pamper her once in a while.
He should be scared thinking of his future, but he was not. Why would he be scared when he has the smartest and bravest woman by his side? This woman manipulated a psychopath and entered his lair for his sake.
How can he be afraid? And how can he not fall for her more?
And he had a feeling that Sidney said something to her that provoke her. She didn’t tell him what it was till the end, but she did ask some weird questions. He did answer them all truthfully. She looked pleased with his answers. So, he didn’t care about Sidney at all.
And she asked him not to be polite to everyone and not to goof around with others. He never did that, so he didn’t understand why she insisted on that. She wanted him to start acting like an emperor; to embed that feeling in his heart so he would be an emperor.
He walked to the bathroom as he heard her getting out. He could smell the fragrance from outside along with the warmth of the steam. He took in a deep breath.
He was so happy. His heart was bubbling with love for his wife. He wanted to express to her how much she had made him happy that day.
