Chapter 64: Someone Dear To Your Heart?
The couple arrived at the Yang ancestral mansion before sunrise. Yera was still sleeping heavily in Xander’s arms, so he carried her into their room and gently put her on their bed. He lay down beside her before he cuddled her and kissed her lips with love.
Xander heaved a long sigh and murmured, "I never thought it was possible to fall for someone hard like this. I’m really grateful, Yera, that you crashed into my life. I’ll always be grateful to Bernard for allowing me to know and take care of you. Sleep well, Darling... I love you..."
He planted another warm and heartfelt kiss on Yera’s lips before he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
A few seconds later, Yera heard Xander’s heavy breathing and opened her eyes to stare at the man who was hugging her affectionately. She heard him... She was not asleep... Tears fell from her now swollen eyes as she was too overwhelmed by those loving words from Xander. Maybe Xander was right; she was not a jinx at all, or Xander was the good luck that she needed in her life.
She smiled and murmured, "Thank you..." She, too, was grateful to him, and she promised herself that she would not let Xander wait that long, and therefore, she would soon sort her feelings out.
.....
Yera woke up late, her hands automatically grabbed the side of the bed beside her. Her eyebrows knitted when she felt it was empty. She quickly opened her eyes and saw it was really empty. Xander’s usual smiling face that would greet her first thing in the morning was not there.
She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. She felt well-rested because she had a nice and peaceful sleep. Yera stretched her arms and yawned before grabbing her mobile phone only to see that there were a lot of unread messages, but the first one that she opened was Xander’s message.
[Xander: Darling, I have to attend an important meeting. You were sleeping so soundly, I did not want to wake you up. You don’t need to report to work, so get some more rest. I’ll ask Dr. Gong to cover for you. I bet you’re missing me already... Well, at least that’s what I hope. See you soon, My Love...
