The New Duchess
Chapter 24: Sleep on

Relief struck her when she found out that someone was her husband. The corner of his lips was interested, Ai smiled happily. The man she was waiting for last night is now lying with her. Slowly Ai changed her body agara facing Axton. Despite the slight distress due to Axton's tight embrace.

Ai touched her husband's face, scrutinizing his hair-grown jaw. His face looks unkempt. Then Ai's hand went up, she touched Axton's lash. Her intention was to wake her husband. It was morning and Ai did not want Mily to come and see this. Could be the gossip material of the servant of one residence.

“ emm,,” Axton keeps away the soft objects that are touching his face. He's still very sleepy.

Ai does not give up, she continues to prank her husband by touching Axton's face once again. This time the disturbed Axton began to open his eyes slightly. He's upset if anyone interferes with his sleep.

“ Ai, let's” Axton lock Ai's movement by holding Ai's hands tighter.

“ is morning Axton, wake up!. Soon the waiter will come” Ai feels helpless with a decapitation Axton can only babble.

“ has been quiet” Axton's heavy voice can not prevent Ai to continue rebelling so that he was released from Axton's embrace.

“ silent or I will do something” Axton threatened a little to make Ai silent for thinking.

“ do what?” Ai even provoked Axton's emotions. But Axton ignored him and continued his sleep. Ai exhaled in annoyance at not getting an answer.

“ Axton let me go, if you want to sleep you sleep alone. I want to wake up” Ai continues to whine to be released by Axton, unfortunately Axton's ears do not hear it, he has returned to dreamland.

Axton's grip was not as tight as it had weakened, Ai slowly pulled her hand.

“ can finally come off” Og Ai when her hand comes off. Slowly shifting his body away. She had no intention of flirting with her husband anymore, that was enough. I want to get up and clean up.

Some time spent in the bathroom Ai is now out complete with clothes that he had brought before. There Axton in his room, Ai did not want to change clothes outside as usual.

Tok tok Mily entered, he was used to it. But this time Mily's steps had to stop when she saw a man lying against the door on the bed.

Ai stood near the sofa just speechless and gave the silent code to Mily with her hands. Mily who began to understand the situation, resumed her steps carefully. Put the breakfast menu on the table and immediately resigned. Ai escorted Mily away, closing the door slowly.

“ who is it? What sir?” guman Mily was curious. Soon he came back down to ask the other servants.

“ server Chloe, do you know if master is back?” Chloe who was in the kitchen frowned and just found out about this news.

“ master is back?” instead of answering, ask back. Before long the question was answered by the presence of Brian who was looking for food in the kitchen. The two maids just stared at Brian at once.

“ why do you see me like that?” asked Brian who was troubled by the strange gazes of the two maids. Both Mily and Chloe instead walked over and intercepted Brian's steps.

“ master is back?” Brian stepped back, uncomfortable with such a close distance.

“ is already ” Brian continues his pace by avoiding those two maids.

“ when?” the two servants seemed to be chasing Brian, his steps back blocked.

“ at dawn come” replied Brian annoyed. He's been very hungry, since Brian came back hasn't eaten anything. Moreover, the journey is so long and exhausting. Made his stomach rebel from earlier.

“ can you guys step aside and let me eat?” said Brian was upset because these two servants still did not want to step aside and give way.

Hearing Brian's annoyed tone, Mily and Chloe instantly opened the path while smiling in embarrassment.

“ do we need to prepare breakfast at the table?” ask Chloe's waiter who looks anxious and shocked to hear Duke's return.

“ em, it seems unnecessary, master is still sleeping in the mistress's room. We just prepare it like breakfast madam” replied Mily who increasingly makes Chloe surprised.

“ master in the madam room? “ is not Chloe who asked but Grace who just entered the kitchen was not happy to hear the conversation of the two servants. Milly and Chloe immediately turned over in shock.

“ yes miss” it was Mily's turn to answer steadily as Grace asked in an annoyed tone. Milly was intent on warming up Grace about the affection of her master and mistress.

Without saying much Grace immediately left the kitchen her appetite immediately went down to hear this news. Disappointed he entered his room again.

Mily returned to breakfast, this time for her master.

Tok Tok Milly waited for an answer from within.

“ login” Mily open the door and see the room situation. Nothing had changed, her master was still sleeping while her mistress was enjoying the breakfast she had brought before.

“ this for mrs mili” said Milly while putting the tray.

“ thank you Mily “ replied Ai cheerfully. Mily was still standing there, waiting if her mistress ordered anything.

“ you can go” said Ai who knows Mily's reluctance to come out.

Ai continued her own breakfast. He did not want to wait for Axton who did not look like he wanted to wake up. His stomach was rumbling, at the party yesterday he did not eat much because he was busy being invited to chat by Hardwin and his mother.

Time has begun to enter during the day but Axton does not open his eyes. Tiredness a few weeks ago now paid off with the aroma of his wife who accompanied his sleep. Comfortable, making him sleep.

“ Axton, wake up” Ai who had read a book had now become bored and chose to tease her husband again.

Ai sat next to Axton her hand could not stand still, continuing to play Axton's hair. Although Axton ignored him Ai was no problem. He continued his action.

“ Axton,” whispered Ai kept calling her husband's name. Today there is no meeting, usually Ai who is lying here until noon. Now with her husband Ai dies tired of not knowing what else to do. He had read the book since then, but Axton never woke up. Ai is too proud to sleep next to her husband, it feels uncomfortable if in a conscious state.

Axton who began to get distracted quickly pulled his wife's hand. And made Ai fall lying on her husband's body. Not only that Axton kissed briefly Ai's lips that had called her name.

“ quiet, or I'll kiss you again” Axton threatened again. Ai fell silent and nodded slowly from being too shocked by Axton's sudden actions. His head instantly shrunk even to shift his body alone now Ai did not dare. Seeing his wife who according to Axton again closed his eyes, because too long silence Ai himself began to sleepy. Now they both take a nap together.
