Chapter 239: A Burden

The early morning sun shone through the glass window, causing Leia to slowly blink her eyes open.

She clutched her aching head and gradually sat up on the bed, before looking around the room. 

Her eyes halted on Adrik, who was fast asleep on the sofa, and she stared at him for a few moments before getting off the bed to walk towards him. 

She squatted down to his level and gently caressed his hair, which was covering his face, then leaned in to place a soft kiss on his cheek. "Adrik..." She whispered his name, and Adrik slowly turned to face her with his eyes still closed.

"Little wife-" He blinked his eyes open and reached out his hand to gently touch her face. "-Did you have a good sleep?"

"Mhm." Leia nodded at him with a smile on her lips, and he proceeded to sit up on the couch. 

"Why did you snooze on the sofa?" Her brow creased as she inquired in a bit of bewilderment.
