Chapter 483 The Shy Duke

There, they laid down a mattress, piled pillows high, and wrapped themselves in blankets. To shield them from the sun, Kisha set up a small tent, ensuring that they could rest in privacy and comfort without any distractions.

It was their little sanctuary, a place where they could escape the world and simply be with each other.

As Kisha and Duke settled onto the mattress, Duke pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her tightly, unwilling to let go.

He inhaled deeply, taking in the familiar scent of her hair, which instantly calmed his racing mind. He had intended to shower before sleeping, but his exhaustion hit him all at once.

His eyelids grew heavy, as if the weight of the day had finally caught up with him.

Maybe it was the comfort of Kisha being so close, or the warmth of her presence, but his body seemed to relax in a way it hadn't in days.

He found himself drifting off, his mind finally at peace now that she was there with him.
