Julian and Emelia didn't get up after waking up. Emelia wanted, but Julian stopped her. "It had been a long night last night. Let's sleep in."

Julian felt sorry for her. Covering her lower abdomen with his palm, he wanted to warm her up.

Emelia felt warm in her belly and heart.

She nestled in his arms and said with a chuckle, "I've never expected you to sleep in."

Emelia was teasing him, but Julian admitted it. "Ehn. I'm also sleeping in. I want to hold you like this forever without getting up."

With those words, he leaned against her and said, "No wonder the ancient emperors refused to get up early in the morning for their business. I understood why they did so."

Emelia giggled, pushing him. Then she asked with concerns, "Do you still have a migraine?"

"I'm fine now." Julian asked in self-mockery, "Do you think I'm too fragile?"

Emelia hurriedly answered, "Not at all. I just feel sorry for you, Julian. You must be hurt by the scenes, so you had PTSD."

She felt highly sorry after knowing why he had suffered from a migraine the previous night.

At midnight, she woke up and studied him carefully to see if he had been bothered by it.

Since he was sleeping soundly with even breath, she was relieved and fell asleep again.

Julian held her tight. Right then, Emelia's phone rang. She checked it and found Heather's ID. Emelia was confused, wondering why she didn't call Julian as they were together.

However, she swiped to answer. Heather asked tentatively on the phone, "Morning, Emelia. Are you guys up?"
