Mars couldn't believe his ear when he heard Emlyn clearly tell him he was welcod in her bed. He looked at the big fluffy bed and realized it was more than enough to accommodate the three of them. He, Emlyn, and Harlow.
Also, if he pushed Harlow a little bit closer to the wall, and put a big pillow between her and Emlyn, he and his wife would still have ample space for the two of them.
Ahem... ample space for what exactly?
The man cleared his throat and cleared his mind from dirty thoughts at the sa ti.
Mars was too ecstatic at the opportunity to sleep on the sa bed again with Emlyn. He was actually ready to take the couch for the night, and for the foreseeable near future until they rebuild their relationship again and, of course, until Emlyn's physique recovered 100%.
The man was so excited and felt moved that he couldn't utter a response, but his body was quick to move and strip himself. He'd prefer to sleep with just his underpants.
He was never bothered by cold temperature anyway. So, unlike Emlyn, he didn't need to change into another outfit. He just slept like this, half-naked.
What usually troubled him was his terrible insomnia. However, tonight, it wouldn't be a problem because the cure to his sleeping issues was here.
Mars didn't need to take a sleeping potion whenever he slept with Emlyn. So, he would just lie down next to her and hopefully hug her to sleep.
This would be a beautiful night. He couldn't wait!!
Emlyn's cheeks flushed red when she saw how quickly Mars had stripped to only his underpants and now he was getting ready to climb up the bed. She could see his well-built body, his chiseled chest, his toned arms... they all looked so masculine and drool-worthy.
Emlyn sat up in bed, leaned on the headboard, and cleared her throat, trying to remove so unholy thoughts from her mind.
"You have to move Harlow a little closer to the wall," she said to Mars, pointing at Harlow who was sleeping soundly with her mouth opened wide and her tiny fists balled.
"Yes, I will," Mars replied with a hoarse voice. He climbed the bed and scooted over to lift their baby and moved her to the end of the bed, facing the wall. He put a nice fluffy pillow as a bumper and then add another one behind Harlow.
Now, she was surrounded by two pillows like a fort. The space between Emlyn and Harlow was still quite spacious. Mars turned to Emlyn. "Do you want to move closer to Harlow? Let sleep on the edge so I can protect you from falling."
Emlyn hiccuped when she heard his words. It was extrely cheesy, she thought.
Did Mars just treat her like a baby? He decided to take the outer side of the bed because he was worried Emlyn would fall from the bed?
Ha ha ha...
Oh, wait.
Suddenly, sothing struck her mind.
Ahh... that must be a habit Mars developed after Harlow was born.
Did he often sleep with their baby in the sa bed? Was that the reason why he was so attentive and automatically assud the outer side to protect their baby from falling from the bed?
This realization made Emlyn's heart feel so touched. She always regretted the fact that she couldn't spend ti with Harlow after she was born until she was now eleven months old.
She had missed so many important milestones, and most importantly, she was not there to take care of Harlow's needs. Emlyn could imagine their baby must be a handful.
When Harlow was a newborn, she needed to be fed every two hours. She also slept a lot. She was vulnerable to so many illnesses and risks, not to ntion she was also born early, so she was weaker than full-term babies.
Even if Mars just managed to keep Harlow alive, it would be considered an accomplishnt, but Harlow was actually thriving and so adorable? That was one hell of a job he did there!
Emlyn looked at the man with newfound appreciation and admiration.
The love she had for him and all the reasons she fell in love with him in the first place, now ca up to the surface. She even realized her love for him had beco deeper and stronger.
Emlyn smiled.
Mars was dumbfounded when he saw her smile so sweetly. Did he say sothing funny?
He pald his face. Of course. Emlyn must be laughing at his choice of words just now. He offered to sleep on the outer side of the bed so she wouldn't fall? She was not a kid. He must sound so silly to her.
"Ahem..." The man rubbed his long hair and tried to find the right words to do damage control. "What I ant was...."
Gosh.. his image must be ruined now. He sounded so cheesy.
"Can you co down from the bed?" Emlyn asked Mars with her lodious voice. "I will move to the middle of the bed so you can sleep here, on the edge."
"Oh... yes, of course," Mars obeyed her words and climbed down from the bed.
He watched Emlyn move closer to Harlow but she stopped before she touched the pillow that separated her side from Harlow's. Then, Emlyn patted the side next to her, the outer side of the bed, and motioned Mars to lie down.
Mars smiled too. He was happy to see Emlyn didn't seem to look down on him just because he slipped just now. She even looked happy. Her eyes were gleaming and her lips smiling.
Mars finally got on the bed and lie down next to his wife.
As soon as his body touched the mattress and he adjusted his position, Emlyn rolled toward him and rested her head on his chest. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Their skin touched and it imdiately sent fire throughout his body. Gosh! He missed hugging her like this.
Mars missed her pleasant scent, her breath on his skin, the movent of her chest as she breathed in and breathed out while being in his embrace.
He could sll her distinct scent from the top of her head when she rested her head on his chest like this. It was so intoxicating, Mars couldn't help but inhale her scent to satisfy his longing and craving for her.
Slowly, his hands snaked around her body and hugged her tightly.
Emlyn smiled sheepishly when she realized her husband's breath started panting. She bit her lip, then she looked up to see his face.
Mars was looking down at her and their eyes locked. Their gazes were filled with affection and longing. Emlyn raised on hand and touched his cheek.
Ahh... her husband was such a dream husband. Always has, always will.
She tilted her head and landed a kiss on his lips.

From Missrealitybites:
I am so happy we really resolve the conflicts in October. Soon, Emlyn and Mars would go ho and start rebuilding their lives together.
Ellena would be punished, Gewen and Kira will get to know each other better, and of course, Mars and Emlyn would have their next child(ren). Would it be a really fat baby or twins? LOL
Also, I have decided to imdiately continue the series with Harlow's story. I am having so many ideas to pour into the next story. You can read it directly in this sa book.
Princess Harlow Strongmoor is the pampered daughter of the monarch of Draec Kingdom. Every year on her birthday, her family was baffled by the mysterious gift coming her way. From a beautiful bracelet, glass slippers, jade hairpin, a cute fluffy kitten, a baby phoenix, and even a dragon on her twelfth birthday.
It got weirder when the baby phoenix, which had turned into an adult phoenix, suddenly burned itself and she found a letter addressed to her among the ashes.
It was a proposal.
The sender claid to be her husband-to-be and said she was promised to him eighteen years ago.
Wait.. what? The audacity of this man, claiming her hand in a marriage made Harlow feel enraged and decided to go find him and teach this man a lesson. So, she took her dragon and left ho secretly.
Hey... this dragon seed to know where they should go! How weird! Where is he taking her? And who is this mysterious guy whom many people call the Ice Prince?
PS: You can, of course, continue reading Maxim's story with Elise in "The Cursed King". We already have 232 chapters to date, and it also has lovely snusnu XD.
Tbh, Elise is my ultimate favorite female lead. I think I love her more than I love Emlyn.. Elise is just so pure, so kind, and sweet.
