Kapitel 572: Morning cuddles (J&C)

'KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK…'

James refused to wake up. He was holding onto a soft and warm body that smelled of wild berries, and he had the most delicious dream which dissipated with every next knock that sounded like it was striking the back of his head.

'KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!'

Eventually, James jolted out of his sleep and scrambled to get to the door.

"What!?", he snapped when he saw Maya's smiling face and eyes that observed his disheveled appearance with interest.

"Lunch is in fifteen minutes.", Maya said. "You should join us because Damon and Talia will want to discuss what happened in the meeting and come up with strategies."

James nodded curtly at Maya and waited for her to start walking down the hallway before closing the door.

His lips lifted into a smile at the sight of Cornelia sleeping on his bed.
