HIS DECEITFUL WOMAN

41. Feelings

"Your grace, are you alright?" Tara noticed that the duchess had a bothered expression.

"Yes. I'm just tired. I will retire in the room now. Please don't bother me except when my daughter calls for me."

"Yes, your grace." Tara paid respect to her master and didn't enter the guest room. She called Mia later that evening to inform the young miss about the encounter with Augustine.

"Got it." Mia replied shortly and ended the second call. She first received an anonymous call which she guessed was a special message from Boar. The recorded message mentioned a place where they could meet tomorrow. Then the second call came from Tara that made her mood change.

Neero was closing his laptop when he heard Mia's voice, which was a serious one. He didn't delve into her privacy and just quietly approached her.

As Neero stood behind his wife, he caged her in his arms and helped her choose a sleeping attire.

Earlier, he casually dragged Mia into his chambers to be with her for the night. He had no problem with it because the guards won't talk against him. They knew better than to get on his bad side.

"Really, this...?" Mia eyed her husband who was grinning from left to right. They were looking at one maroon nightwear. The clothing was given by Ziv for their honeymoon.

Her right eye twitched wondering how this who-the-heck-wears-this kind of lingerie was in Neero's wardrobe when she specifically left it at the Betiko Villa.

"Oh. You don't want to wear... anything?" Neero teased as he saw her frowning expression towards the little clothing. He then swiftly undressed Mia like it was a normal thing to do and carried her to the bed.

Mia, "..."

'Shameless!'

As the night deepens, two bodies are moving in a slow and sweet rhythm.

"I love you, Amelia." Neero uttered as he stared at those vibrant green eyes. He couldn't get enough of her. He wanted every inch of Mia.

"I love you too." Mia responded and reached out to kiss her gorgeous husband once again. She quivered as Neero released everything to her that night. She helplessly bit his shoulder to ease the frenzy feeling that was catching up to her.

Neero stiffened but allowed her to be. He endured and patiently waited for Mia to calm down.

After quenching the fire within them, the couple laid comfortably in the middle of the bed.

Mia stirred and lifted her head to see her husband sleeping soundly. She smiled at the vision and gently kissed his nose, lifting his huge arm that was swaddled above her hips. She needs to return to her room before daybreak to avoid unnecessary gossip.

When Neero opened his gray orbs, he instinctively looked beside him and frowned when his eyes didn't perceive the lovely figure of his wife. He sat up and did his usual routine with a dreadful mood.

He went straight to the dining hall, expecting to see Mia. His eyes searched the room and much to his dismay, she wasn't there.

"Morning, brother!" Judah greeted with enthusiasm. He noticed the off expression on Neero's face and could guess the reason for it.

"Where's my... betrothed?" Neero asked as he sat down to fill his stomach, looking slightly grumpy. He opened his phone earlier only to find a short message which only said, 'I'll be out for a while'.

The people on the long table couldn't help but flutter at the cold tone.

"Your highness, my daughter already ate her fill and went on her way to meet a friend." Duchess Dinah replied, smiling. She knows the worth of Mia in the First Prince's eyes and was touched by his care.
