Conquering His Cold Heart

Chapter 314 - 314 Angry?

314 Angry?

Caspian took a deep breath in and calmed himself down before he gently knocked on his wife’s bedchamber.

He was afraid that he wouldn’t get any response at all since it was already way past the Queen’s usual bedtime. Or even if he got the response, he was afraid that his wife would not even look at him and go right back to sleep.

‘I’m sorry that I am late… No… Say, I would like to apologize for being late. I had a lot of work today.’ He was practicing the things that he could say to his wife in case she opened the door and turned right away from him.

However, to his surprise, not only did he get permission to enter the room, but he could also see that his wife was dressed in a lovely bedgown.

“You’re late,” Anastasia said in a sleepy whisper while leaning her body against the heavy door and resting her head against it.

Caspian instantly smiled upon seeing his wife’s eyes which were barely open. “It looks like I woke you up from your deep sleep,” he mumbled.

“I’m sorry, wife.” He leaned in to give a soft kiss on her forehead and then swiftly carried her in his arms.

Anastasia instinctively put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. “It’s alright. I was only dozing off,” she replied.

Now that the one who she was waiting for was finally here, she loosened up her body and closed her eyes as if she wanted to sleep comfortably now.

.....

Caspian closed the huge door and carried Anastasia inside the bedchamber. And as he slowly lay her down on the side of the bed which she had already warmed, he apologized to her in a soft whisper, “I’m sorry for being late. I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear. I had a lot of things to do today.”

When Caspian pulled the blanket and tucked her in, she slightly opened her eyes to look at him and said, “It’s okay, love. I understand.” After saying that, she turned to her side and patted the empty and cold side of the bed. “Come. You must be really tired.”

“Very.” Caspian heaved a deep sigh of relief seeing his wife acting normally. He wanted to ask why she didn’t bring the tea to his study today. However, since her eyes were yearning to get some rest, he thought of asking that in the morning.

Although he hadn’t freshened up, nor had his dinner yet since he was too eager to see his wife, he thought of skipping them for tonight and quickly removed all his clothing to get in bed with his wife.

When he snuggled with her and his cold body touched her, Anastasia suddenly giggled and said in a complaining tone, “Caspian! You’re naked again!”

Caspian shamelessly rubbed his body against her even more and nonchalantly whispered in his raspy voice, “It’s not like this is something new for us.” And he further said in a teasing manner, “Besides, I know you like it when I sleep like this.”

Anastasia’s eyes were now wide open. She was pursing her lips and was trying her best not to giggle again. She didn’t want to confirm that what he said was true, she was too shy to do that.

However, she couldn’t hold her laugh for longer and she ended up bursting.

“See!” Caspian proudly smirked and looked at his wife’s cheerful face. “I know you like it,” he whispered in her ears, sending a wave of goosebumps all over her body and making her squirm.

His gaze softened as his wife continued to laugh sweetly. ‘Ah! I missed this sound,’ he thought to himself. He was really glad that his wife wasn’t mad at him after their argument in the morning. At least, she didn’t look mad at the moment.

Anastasia grabbed Caspian’s arm and lay it down to use it as her pillow. She then shifted even closer to him and put her arm around his chest.

Caspian also wrapped his arm around his wife and pressed his soft lips on her dark ginger hair. “Your hair smells really nice,” he complimented her.

“Oh, yes.” Anastasia looked up at him and said with a slightly guilty look on her face, “Tilla gave me a nice oil massage on my head today. The massage was so good that I ended up falling asleep for the whole day. And I…”

Caspian couldn’t explain the relief he felt when he heard his wife’s innocent words. “Oh! That’s the reason why I didn’t get my tea today, huh?”

“I’m really sorry,” she apologized while wrinkling her nose and giving a guilty gaze to him. “When that maid came to ask if I was in good health, I was just about to enter my bath. And by the time I was done bathing, it was already too late in the evening.”

She subconsciously began tracing the tips of her fingers on Caspian’s back when she further explained herself, “I thought of bringing the tea to you, but I felt like I would only extend your work hours at that point by distracting you. If I knew beforehand that you would stay there until it was this late, I would have come and accompanied you.”

“It’s okay.” He gently stroked her back and intently gazed into her pure eyes. “Although you deprived me of the taste of your tea and your sweet smile, I will forgive you.”

The corners of Anastasia’s lips slightly curved up to form a beautiful smile.

Caspian leaned in and gently brushed his lips against hers. And right after, he parted his lips and kissed his wife so vigorously that it was evident how much he missed her for the whole day. The thought that his wife was mad at him had drained his energy greatly. Thus, he needed to replenish that energy by pouring his love on her and getting the love back from her as well.

While kissing and tasting her sweetness, he slightly pushed himself up and made her lie down on her back. He gently rested his chest on hers and then pulled away from the kiss to look at her smiling face.

She already looked flustered, no matter how many times they had done this before.

Caspian, on the other hand, could also see the anticipation in her eyes. He traced the outline of her lips with his thumb and said in a raspy, enchanting voice, “Anna, I love you. A lot.”
