Chapter 217: Kiss Away the Dirt He Left Behind
Primrose thought it was kind of silly to cuddle while sleeping, but a small pillow between them gave just enough space to keep things from feeling too close.
Still, she didn’t ask why Edmund had put that pillow there, or why he didn’t want to hold her a little tighter.
She already knew the reason, and honestly, she didn’t want to tempt a hungry shark.
"Good night," she said before closing her eyes.
Even with a pillow between them, having Edmund by her side made her feel safe, like nothing could hurt her as long as she was lying next to him. She didn’t have to worry about nightmares or danger tonight.
Edmund brushed her hair gently and whispered back, "Good night, my wife."
After that, the room fell into a peaceful silence. The only sounds left were the soft crackle of the fireplace and their calm breathing.
Primrose didn’t dream of anything that night, which was a good thing, because she preferred it that way rather than having another nightmare like she had for the past three days.
The sun hadn’t even risen yet when Primrose slowly opened her eyes. It was because she could feel Edmund tossing and turning beside her.
He hadn’t been able to stay still for a while now. He looked restless, completely lost in his thoughts.
[What do I do? What do I do?!] he panicked inside his head. [I’m so messed up ... I really don’t want my wife to think I’m a pervert, but why won’t this damn boner go down since last night?]
