Chapter 152: Her Prince Charming
The next morning, Evelyn woke up with a smile on her face. Kiana clung to her tightly, her little hand wrapped around Evelyn’s stomach as if afraid her Mommy would betray her and go to her "cheater Daddy." Kissing the top of her head, Evelyn slowly freed herself from Kiana’s grip.
"Mommy..." Kiana murmured in her sleep, rolling onto her back.
"Sleep for a while, baby." Evelyn patted her head. "I’ll wake you up later," she added, coaxing Kiana back to sleep. The little bear could barely open her eyes but nodded before hugging the pillow on the other side.
Evelyn smiled, tucking her properly under the quilt, then slowly got down from the bed. It was still early in the morning, and she decided to go look for her husband. He must have been fuming and hadn’t slept, considering how Kiana had tricked him into staying out of the room. Moving away from the furniture, Evelyn opened the door and walked out with a silly grin.
"Good morning, Ma’am!" Agatha greeted her on the way. "Is the Young Miss still asleep?" she asked, looking toward the master bedroom.
"Yes, Agatha. Let her sleep a bit more," Evelyn replied with a smile. Glancing at the guest room at the end of the corridor, she asked, "Is he in the guest room?"
Agatha, holding back a chuckle, nodded in response. She recalled how Zevian had realized Kiana had locked and even blocked the room. He had gone as far as to consider getting extra locks but decided to pay Kiana back in the morning, having some extra work to finish last night.
"Alright." Evelyn grinned and walked to the guest room.
Opening the door, Evelyn peeked inside to find Zevian lying on the bed, one hand placed on his forehead, indicating he had just gotten into bed and was trying to catch some sleep. She walked inside and looked at the study table, where his laptop and other stuff were neatly spread out.
Zevian opened his eyes, sensing someone enter, and a smile lifted his tired face at the sight of his beautiful wife.
"Were you working all night?" Evelyn asked with a frown, walking up to the bed.
