Chapter 108: Merit Of A Name

As we were lounging on the settee, I did a stretch and shut the book on my lap. Come to think of it, Aries' legs must be sore for staying in place for so many hours.

I stood up, setting the book on the table using the excuse of getting a refill of the drinks when I noticed Aries fast asleep. I knelt to the level of his face, staring at his calm expression as I lightly trace my index finger on his eyebags.

Has he not been sleeping well? I guess I should try to not occupy so much space when I sleep. If I'm understanding what he meant from the last conversation we had.

"Rest well." I whispered against his ear, planting a gentle kiss against his forehead as I pulled the blanket over his shoulders.

He groans in his sleep, but aside from that, he was a rather quiet sleeper. I grabbed the lone cushion from the bed, pressing it behind his neck to support his head before I grabbed the mugs and headed to wash them.
