Eileen glanced at the completely dark sky outside the window, casually leaned her antler wand against the sofa, and instructed Juliet and Heine, "Go and prepare two guest rooms."
Juliet whispered a reminder, "Lady Eileen, there aren't many guests at the manor usually, and the guest rooms haven't been cleaned. It might take a while to prepare them now..."
Eileen forgot that she rarely received guests, and even if there were guests, they wouldn't stay at her place. The guest rooms in the manor were indeed vacant year-round, and there simply wasn't enough time to clean them up temporarily.
"Then let Hope stay in an empty room in the main building tonight, and Erza will sleep with me."
"No need to trouble yourself, Mom."
Erza shook her head. "Hope and I will share a room."
The air in the room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Juliet's eyes widened. Heine remained expressionless, but his eyelids twitched. Irene put down her teacup, her gaze lingering on her daughter's face for a few seconds. Erza looked back at her without flinching, her eyes open and honest.
Eileen nodded slightly, without saying much. But as she left the living room, she passed Hope and whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Kid, watch your temper."
Hope's lips twitched, but before he could answer, Eileen had already walked away, her high-heeled boots clicking in the air.
Juliet covered her mouth and chuckled. Heine told her the location of the room in the main building, and the two of them tactfully went to tidy up the room first.
Soon, only Hope and Erza remained in the living room.
"Let's go." Erza took Hope's hand and walked towards the main building.
Chapter 415 What to do if your son-in-law discovers you eavesdropping?
The main building of the manor is a three-story building with a simple and elegant exterior, but the interior is luxurious in every way.
Landscape paintings adorned the walls along the corridor, while thick, dark carpets covered the floor, making no sound underfoot. Every few steps, an exquisitely designed magic wall lamp cast a soft glow.
Juliet had already tidied the room in advance.
The room wasn't large, but it was very comfortablely furnished. Warm-toned lighting illuminated every corner, and the window was half-open, allowing the night breeze to gently stir the sheer curtains.
After taking a shower one after the other, Hope was just about to lie down to sleep when Erza, her hair still wet, walked straight up to him, her eyes reflecting the warm yellow light and his face.
"Hope".
"Ok?"
"Thank you."
Erza leaned down and gently pressed her lips to his.
It was very light and soft, like a petal falling onto the water.
Hope's eyes widened slightly; this was the first time Erza had kissed him on her own initiative.
In the past, whether it was holding hands, hugging, or kissing, Hope was usually the one to take the initiative. Although Erza never refused, she rarely took the initiative.
This strong-willed girl is always the shy and passive one when it comes to relationships.
But tonight is different.
Hope felt the girl's slightly trembling eyelashes and the soft touch of her lips against his.
I must say, it's very moisturizing.
After a brief pause, Erza retreated, a shy blush rising on her face. "Hope, without you, I don't know how long it would have taken me to escape the shadow of the Tower of Paradise."
"Without you, I don't know when I would have found out about my origins."
"Without you, I don't know if I would ever have the chance to see my mother again in this lifetime..."
She spoke gently, listing each point one by one.
With each statement, he took a step closer, forcing Hope to take a step back.
There was no distance between them until Hope's back was against the wall.
Erza buried her face in Hope's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said in a muffled voice, "So... thank you, Hope."
Hope lowered her head, brushed her crimson hair aside, and said softly, "Why are you saying all this? Aren't we already family?"
"That's different."
Erza looked up, her cheeks flushed, a hint of coquettishness in her watery eyes, "After tonight... we'll be a real family."
The air was silent for two seconds.
Hope understood Erza's meaning and realized her feelings.
Hehe, after suppressing my feelings for so long, I can finally eat meat!
He then waved his hand, and the magic lamp in the room went out. In the darkness, only the moonlight from outside the window shone through the gauze curtains, spreading a layer of silvery-white gauze on the floor.
A rustling sound arose, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
The girl's undergarments fell one by one, piling up like a silent flower in the moonlight streaming into the room from outside the window.
Hope's palm touched her bare waist, his fingertips feeling her slightly hot skin, but Erza took the initiative and pulled Hope down onto the bed.
Both of them gradually became more labored.
"Erza".
"Um......"
"Tonight I'm going to conduct a thorough investigation into you."
A voice that made one blush rang out.
In the hallway outside the door, Eileen was holding a cup of hot milk. On a whim, she wanted to say goodnight to her daughter, but before she could even touch the doorknob, her hand froze in mid-air.
The dragons' keen hearing became a kind of sweet torment at this moment.
Through the heavy oak door, her daughter's breathing went from light to heavy, from suppressed to uncontrollable, like a dramatic and stirring melody, with every note clearly reaching her ears.
She stood in the corridor, listening to the increasingly urgent sounds behind the door. Her expression shifted from shock to speechlessness, from speechlessness to worry, and then from worry to an indescribable flush.
Like an invisible man eavesdropping for two hours, the milk had gone cold, but the other side of the door never stopped.
When Erza faintly begged for mercy, Eileen's hand holding the milk trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath, using all the willpower she had ever mustered, and finally managed to separate her legs, which had been unconsciously closed and rubbing together.
The movement, the frequency, the endurance...
No way, is that kid Hope really that fierce?
I wonder if Erza can withstand it...
Eileen shook her head, took the cooled milk, and quietly turned to leave. She was afraid that if she listened any longer, she wouldn't be able to hold back and decided to go back and find the Purple Mood she had been keeping hidden away.
......
......
Didn't rest all night.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains into the room, casting a golden glow on the floor.
Hope sat up in bed feeling refreshed, stretched, and her bones made a soft cracking sound.
He glanced at the girl curled up in the blankets beside him, only a small section of her crimson hair showing, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It was obvious that Erza couldn't hold on.
Hope didn't stop either, leaving Erza exhausted all night.
He tiptoed out of bed, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, folded them and placed them at the foot of the bed. He then took out a clean white shirt from the changing room, put it on, and straightened his collar in front of the window.
After confirming that he looked presentable enough, Hope left the room.
The corridor was quiet, with only the morning sunlight streaming in through the windows, casting warm patches of light on the carpet.
He went down the stairs, walked through the long corridor adorned with landscape paintings, and followed the aroma of food wafting through the air, quickly finding the manor's restaurant.
The restaurant is large, with a long oak dining table in the center that can seat more than a dozen people, but it seems a bit of a waste in this manor where only three people live.
Eileen was already seated at one end of the table, with a steaming cup of coffee beside her.
She wore a casual, deep red dress, her braids loosely draped over her shoulders, and without her extravagant hat, she appeared less dignified and more relaxed.
Hearing footsteps, Eileen looked up and her gaze fell on Hope, sizing him up and down.
Excellent! You're full of energy, radiant, and even your walk exudes a triumphant air.
Looking down at the empty corridor behind him, there wasn't even a shadow of his daughter.
Eileen sighed silently to herself.
Good morning, Mother-in-law.
Hopla pulled up a chair and sat down, her tone as natural as if she were in her own home, "Was the milk in our room last night good?"
Eileen's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she almost spilled her coffee on herself. Her face showed an undisguised expression of embarrassment.
What should I do if my son-in-law finds out I was eavesdropping on my daughter last night?
I need an answer urgently.
Chapter 416 Mother-in-law, you don't want your daughter to misunderstand you, do you?
Having lived for over four hundred years, what storms hasn't Eileen weathered?
She endured betrayal, transformed into a dragon and destroyed her own country, was pregnant for four hundred years, and went mad to the point of almost possessing her own daughter... She survived all of these.
But at this moment, being exposed by her son-in-law for the shameful secret of "eavesdropping outside her daughter's room for two hours last night" still broke her defenses.
Eileen wished she could tear open the floorboards and crawl right into them.
It would have been fine if no one knew, but the person involved found out. How can she, as the mother-in-law, ever act like an elder in front of this brat Hope again?
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Eileen forced herself to remain calm, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and tried to use the steam to conceal her expression and her indifferent demeanor to mask her inner turmoil.
Hope didn't expose her, but just looked at her with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you wouldn't want Erza to misunderstand that you have a strange fetish for eavesdropping, would you?"
Eileen: "......"
