Chapter 545
As a vigorous young man who had just tasted the sweetness of love, how could Rhodes possibly resist when Mira softly called him "husband" the moment he woke up?
Without a second thought, he pulled her back into his arms, hands gliding playfully over her body.
Mira let out a startled gasp but didn’t resist right away. For a moment, she was swept up in the warmth and affection.
However, before things could really escalate, she managed to grab Rhodes’s mischievous hands and held them firmly.
"Stop that. Don’t you have to go to the Council today?"
"I could go tomorrow," Rhodes replied lazily. "They just said to drop by soon. It’s not like they gave me a deadline."
For a while, he had believed he’d broken his habit of procrastination... and sleeping in. But clearly, some tendencies were making a comeback.
Mira frowned, not buying it. "I need to go back to the guild. There’s still a lot to handle."
Rhodes glanced at the clock. "It’s still early. Only eight."
Mira shot upright in bed. "Oh no!"
Being late wouldn’t usually matter. But this time, everyone else had stayed overnight at the guild while she and Rhodes had gone out... and didn’t return until morning.
Everyone would definitely guess what had happened.
