Chapter 154: HusbandUpon hearing the cold response he received from his wife, Canillas raised his head, reluctantly separating from the scent and the warmth that made him somehow calm. He then
Besides, the way he looked at her reminded her of kids expecting the gift they had dreamt of for a long time. And she had no heart to disappoint those kids, as she imagined the kids in the Powel Orphanage would eagerly wait for their birthday gift, and they would walk with their shoulders slumping when they did not get the gift.
Aside from all of the reasons she tried to build inside her, by granting his wish, she could end all this making baby-like gestures as soon as possible. Hence, Joanna would give it another push.
"Hus..." But it was still not an easy task to complete. Yet the gleaming eyes did not dim. It was still sparkling, as if telling her that they would wait until they heard what they saw.
Thus, Joanna had no choice but to continue to do what she needed to do.
"Husband!" And Joanna finally managed to complete the task that would earn her freedom, although it was uttered in a brief shout that sounded like a gust of wind.
Receiving no response from the man who asked for her favor to do so, Joanna, who brought her gaze to the sleeping fireplace after exclaiming that word, glanced back at him only to find him once again in a daze, just like how he looked last night when she asked about why he chose her as his wife.
It made Joanna ponder, directing her eyes back to see the dazed man with her brows drawn together. He once again looked like he was with her, but his soul seemed to be away, leaving his body unattended.
"Sir Canillas," Joanna called, like she did to pull him from his dreaming-like state last night, still with the title before the name attached.
Subsequently, different from last night, she received a response from him without calling him more than once.
A smile. It was the response that was given to her before she heard him say, "Thank you, wife."
With that being simply said, Canillas shifted his body to the side as he attempted to make way for his wife to get the freedom she had asked for.
However, when the blanket that had wrapped their bodies was lifted up by Canillas, as if he wanted to make a more open, easy way for her to escape, Joanna did not make any moves after she managed to raise her body to sit on the bed.
The room was far from being regarded as bright enough yet, even though more intensity of the light of dawn streamed through the window. However, it seemed to be enough to help an object reflect the light that reached one’s eyes.
Slowly drifting her eyes from the object that captured her breath to the man who still lay on his side next to her, propping his body with his elbow, Joanna saw him fix his gaze on the object that she had seen before.
Soon, without any delay, Joanna pulled down the hem of her crumpled nightgown that was rolled up above her knees, which seemed to be a result of her frantic escaping moves from the man that embraced her, covering back the fair, smooth pair of slender legs from all eyes that could see.
Not wanting to see another reaction from him, Joanna jumped off the bed and dashed toward the door. Although she did not want to see her husband’s reaction, Joanna could not avoid hearing the chuckle that reverberated in the serene room.
Laying back on the bed on his chest, the smile that was formed after the chuckle slowly faded away.
