Chapter 858: I Missed You
Chapter 858: I Missed You
Ethan gazed at his sleeping wife with an affectionate gaze.
After a passionate night, the two rekindled their burning desire for each other.
They took turns taking the lead, and it made their night more memorable.
Mutual love and respect were very important in a relationship, and the two of them didn't lack those qualities.
Not wanting to wake her up, Ethan continued to hold her close and let his thoughts wander to their future together.
There, in the villa where they spent their honeymoon in the land of the Beastkin, Lily sat on a chair.
In her arms was a baby, and she was humming a lullaby to put her precious child to sleep.
As this scene played out in his mind, Ethan couldn't help but feel his heart melt inside his chest.
He hoped that the future he saw would come to pass and bring with it the start of a new chapter in his life.
Suddenly, he felt the young lady in his arms stir, and a few seconds later, Lily opened her eyes and looked at Ethan in a daze.
The two stared at each other for a while before Ethan moved closer to plant a kiss on his wife's lips, which the latter returned with three soft pecks.
"Good morning," Ethan said after Lily pulled back, and snuggled into his chest for warmth. "Mmm," Lily hummed. "Good morning."
The two stayed in that position for five minutes before the two of them decided to get up from bed and take a bath together.
Unfortunately, both of them got distracted in the bath, so they only left an hour and a half
later.
After getting dressed, they had a simple breakfast before going back to the academy, feeling refreshed and soaked in each other's love.
The two of them didn't just make love during the night.
They also talked about important things during their short break, especially in regards to Princess Ramona.
For a time, she was Lily's Disciple whom she taught how to wield magic. To say that Ethan's wife had a strong connection to the Princess was an understatement.
Of course, Lily and Princess Ramona had already talked in private, which lasted for nearly three hours.
Whatever the two talked about, they made sure to not divulge it to anyone, especially Ethan and Joanne.
In the end, Lily asked Ethan if, this time, he would be willing to accept Princess Ramona's love, and the young man gave her a positive answer.
"Are you going to sleep with Joanne and Ramona tonight?" Lily asked.
"Yes," Ethan replied. "My sister has been pushing for it, and she's doing her best to become her best friend's wingman."
Lily giggled because she had seen how close Joanne and Princess Ramona had become ever since her secret had been revealed.
"Our family is going to be a big one," Lily said. "Are you sure your stamina will hold?" "It will," Ethan replied. "I'll do my best."
As they flew past the castle walls, they noticed that very few students were wandering about. It wasn't odd. After all, it was Sunday, and there were no classes. Most students decided to sleep in, while some went back to visit their hometowns for a short vacation.
The whole school already knew that the two of them were married, so Ethan no longer hesitated to land near Jaeger Manor, so Lily could go back to her dorm room first.
"I'll see you at lunch," Lily said before giving Ethan a kiss on the cheek.
"Yes," Ethan kissed her back. "I'll see you later."
After bidding farewell to each other, Lily entered Jaeger Manor, after which Ethan flew back to Dud Manor.
The moment she entered the Common Room, several gazes landed on her, and most of them belonged to the ladies, who gave Lily mischievous smiles.
"Welcome back," a pretty young lady with long brown hair greeted. "How was your honeymoon?"
"It was the best," Lily replied.
"Was it really?" another young lady asked. "Is it really that good as people say it to be?"
"Well, I don't know about other people, but Ethan is very good in bed," Lily answered, which made the girls blush and look at her with admiration and envy.
"If my boyfriend only had half of Ethan's physique, I'd be extremely happy," a lady in her late teens commented. "You're lucky, Lily. Make sure to not let that juicy guy go."
"Thank you for the advice, Senior," Lily replied. "Since we're already married, I don't plan on letting him go."
The girls were mostly Lily's friends and acquaintances, so they could talk this openly to each other as long as there were no guys around.
When there were boys in the common room, they made sure to not mention anything related
to Ethan. He was already the men's public enemy number one, and making it worse wasn't on
their agenda.
After a few more idle chatter, Lily climbed up the stairs to go to her room.
Suddenly, she saw Chloe walking down the stairs, headed to the common room.
"You're back, Chloe," Lily said with a smile.
"And you're back after a night with Ethan," Chloe replied in a teasing tone. "Has he already
left for Dud Manor?"
"Yes," Lily replied.
"Good. I need to talk to him about something important."
"Something important?"
Chloe nodded. "Let's talk later. I need to see Ethan before the other girls take him
somewhere."
Lily noticed that the young lady was carrying a book in her hands, which she had never seen before.
But since Chloe seemed to be in a hurry, she no longer stopped her and decided to keep her questions for later.
***
Ethan, who just arrived at the Dud Manor, saw Sabrina and George in the Common Room, sitting on the couch together.
Well, it was more like Sabrina was sitting on George's lap, while the latter hugged her from
behind.
The young lady was busy reading the book in their hands, while George seemed to simply enjoy the moment with his eyes closed.
Since he didn't want to disturb them, he quietly headed to the stairs and went up to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he immediately sensed the presence of someone or something in his room, which made him frown.
"Welcome back, Ethan."
"Chessy? You're back as well?"
The chubby black cat was lying on top of Ethan's table, busy grooming his paw.
"We got back yesterday," Chessy replied.
Ethan knew that the Chesmire Cat had accompanied his cousin, so he decided to ask if Chloe
had also returned to the academy.
"Did Chloe return with you?" Ethan inquired.
"Yes," Chessy replied. "She wanted to see you to confirm something yesterday, but since you
weren't around, she will probably come see you today."
Chessy had just finished talking when suddenly, the two heard a knock on Ethan's door.
"Ethan, are you there?"
Chessy chuckled. "Speak of the devil."
After saying those words, the Chesmire Cat turned invisible, not wanting the young lady to
find out that he was inside Ethan's room.
Ethan, who vaguely understood what the Chesmire Cat was thinking, opened the door and looked at his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
But before he could even say anything, Chloe moved close to him and gave him a hug.
A few seconds later, she gave him a kiss on the lips before pulling back to hug him again.
"I missed you," Chloe said as she buried her head in Ethan's chest.
"I miss you, too," Ethan replied.
The two didn't notice that the door slowly closed by itself, even locking itself firmly in place.
Chessy then walked the hallways of Dud Manor with a silly grin on his face.
"Youth," Chessy muttered before disappearing once more.
He had a few things to say to the Headmaster of the Academy, so he decided to look for
Professor Rinehart. If the other party was already awake, then he would ask him for a favor.
Also, he didn't want to become the third wheel, so he decisively left Ethan's room.
The last thing he wanted to see was two teenagers kissing each other, which was sweet enough to rot his teeth.
