Chapter 160: Are You Trying To Be Stupid?
"Would you give me a hug too so I can sleep well?"
Aleksander’s words ringed in Elys’ ears for a few seconds before it finally sunk into her what exactly he had asked for. A hug? Why would she even hug him?
Holding hands in front of the public to pretend they were a happy couple was one thing, but hugging him in private was entirely another thing.
"Are you trying to be stupid, husband?" Elys asked him, internally trying not to show her embarrassment.
"I don’t need to try, my queen. If I want to be stupid, it would be effortless," the vampire replied, a cocky grin plastered on his face.
Elys scoffed, her hand pressed to her chest as she regarded Aleksander and how unbelievable he was being right now. The young queen was utterly out for words with the sudden change in her husband’s demeanor.
The vampire leaned to his side, propped his elbow perpendicular to his body and leaned his head on his palm. He had a droopy look to his eyes, the early signs of drowsiness settling in his face.
"I am still waiting for that hug, you know," he said as another yawn got him, "quickly now, my queen. What if I have trouble sleeping? You would leave me no choice to have you accountable for that afterwards."
Elys crossed her arms and snorted, defiant not to give in to his absurd request, "Not in a million years, vampire."
