Eloise slightly lifted her eyelids, and under the moonlight, she saw a couple engrossed in a passionate kiss.

Max was holding his fiancée tightly, cradling her face as if she were a precious gem. He was usually hot-tempered, but with Orlena, he was as gentle as a lamb. "This is the last time for tonight. You should go to sleep."
