Chapter 121: When are you planning to get married

As I slowly emerged from the depths of sleep, I felt warmth enveloping me, cocooning me in a comforting embrace. Blinking away the remnants of slumber, I found myself tangled in Aurelia's arms, her presence a soothing balm against the morning chill. A soft smile graced her lips as she brushed a stray strand of hair from my face, her touch gentle yet reassuring.

"You're awake," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the moment.

I couldn't help but return her smile, the warmth of her gaze melting away the last vestiges of sleep.

"Only because you're here," I admitted, my voice tinged with a hint of playfulness.

Aurelia chuckled softly at my response, the sound echoing softly in the quiet stillness of the morning.

"Well, I'm glad I could be of service," she replied, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
