90: The Night of the Two (2)
“…What is that?”
Dylan was staring at a plush doll of a cat. Following the direction of his gaze, Avril picked the doll up and presented it to him.
“It’s a stuffed cat! Chris gave it to me before. Apparently, it’s popular among the children of the capital.”
“…I know that, but why did you bring it?”
“? We always sleep together every night! As this is a special trip, I want to bring him with me.”
“…’We always sleep together every night.’”
Dylan’s expression twitched, but Avril went on without paying any heed to it.
“That’s right. At first, we slept together because the bed is too spacious, but lately, I can’t calm down without him. He’s very fluffy, too! He’s an excellent partner for me!”
“…Lend me that.”
Seemingly displeased, Dylan held out his hand. Avril handed over her doll. The size of the stuffed toy, which Avril deemed perfect to hug to sleep, seemed smaller in his hands.
“It suits you well.”
When she made an honest remark, Dylan approached the bed and laid down. He seemed grumpy. Incidentally, the doll ended up as his pillow…
Oh no, I feel bad for the doll, but Lord Dylan looks tired and sleepy. Please bear it for today…
Just as Avril gave up on rescuing her partner, Dylan whispered while closing his eyes.
“…The bed is too spacious, was it?”
“Yes, the bed given by the duke is too soft and spacious. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been accustomed to sleeping alone in a simple bed. Laying on top of such a lavish bed, I feel quite lonely…”
“…A-are you inviting me as a villainess right now? Or are you just being honest with your feelings? Somehow, the former sounds more tempting for me… I must be tired…”
“???”
Dylan’s words didn’t make much sense.
“Lord Dylan?”
She tilted her head and asked again, but there was no reply.
When she turned around, she discovered that Dylan, who’d been conversing with her until a few seconds ago, was sound asleep.
Well, Lord Dylan does seem very tired. Now that I think about it, he’s been receiving reports and having meetings non-stop since we arrived, yet he still made time to eat with me. Not only has he returned home for the first time in quite some time, he also has a feud with the former duke…
I guess it’s understandable.
Usually, she’d have called Grace to prepare for bed, but since Dylan was sound asleep, that wasn’t an option.
Avril silently got changed in the walk-in closet, pulled up the blanket, and slipped in next to Dylan.
How long had it been since she last slept with someone?
She suddenly recalled the warmth of her mother from when she was younger.
Has Lord Dylan been alone in such a spacious, fluffy bed ever since he was a child?
Avril’s eyelids gradually became heavier as she gazed at the sleeping face of her fiancée who slept a little further away from her. Avril was wash over by a wave of sentimental feelings.
Since the bed is spacious, two people should be able to sleep on it just fine. Good night…
