Chapter 56

“Sleep well, darling,” Walter, which apparently was Jaughnn – tucked me to sleep after a passionate session that only ended because I said I was too tired.

This man – he really did the maximum, for what? Did he want to avoid the questions I wanted to ask? I’ve no idea, however, I do know I want to sleep now.

By the time I woke up, he was still beside me. This explains why I once found his roots black back then.

“Why were you hiding it from me?” I asked as I started to admire the face I’d missed all these years. “I wrote thousands of letters for you, do you know that?” I touched his nose lightly.

He told me I never aged a day, looking at him – neither did he.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes with a massive smirk on his lips, my eyes widened as I flushed red. “What the-? When were you awake?” I asked as I hid my face.
