Chapter 1881: Daddy's Embrace

After a long sleep, Joyce held Luther and dozed off for quite a while. Perhaps due to exhaustion from recent events, she found herself waking in the late afternoon, nearing evening.

Waking up beside Luther, Joyce opened her eyes, feeling a sense of relaxation throughout her body. Luther was already awake, half-lying on the bed, propped up against the soft cushion. Upon seeing her wake, he pulled her close and embraced her tightly.

"Awake already. Do you want to sleep a little longer?" he asked.

Shaking her head, Joyce replied softly, "No, I don't need to. I feel dizzy if I sleep too much. I don't usually take afternoon naps. I've been busy with the drawings lately and it's been taxing, especially with the Saunders family's matters. I haven't slept well for a few days. Just now, catching up on sleep, I feel much better."

She sat up, nestled in his embrace, her small hand reaching into his chest, feeling his heartbeat through his sleepwear.

Adjusting her position, she pressed her cheek tightly against his warm skin. Lately, she had felt herself becoming more and more attached to him, something that would have been impossible in the past. Luther leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead. With his left hand, he checked his emails on his phone and browsed through some important documents.

"Is there an urgent matter at the company? I've noticed you haven't inquired much about it recently," Joyce asked softly.

"Not really, operations are running smoothly. There's not much for me to worry about. Are you thirsty? I'll go get you a glass of water," Luther asked gently.

"No, I'm not thirsty," Joyce replied, mainly wanting to hold onto him a little while longer.

"Alright," Luther held her waist even tighter, pulling her closer to him.

The two of them lingered on the bed for a moment before they heard some commotion outside.

"It sounds like Anderson's voice. It's getting dark. He must be hungry. He said he'd prepare something to eat, but then ended up just sleeping and not doing anything," Joyce said as she sat up, putting on a light jacket, preparing to get up.
