Chapter 35. I Still Want to Have Eight Kids

"Ria? Are you awake?" Alexander asked when he entered the room and saw her on the bed with her eyes closed. Was she already asleep? So soon?

"Ria? Sweetheart?" Alexander asked before sighing loudly as he sat beside her.

Placing his hand on her forehead, smiling when he heard her heart racing, which was a clear indication that she was not asleep, he bent forward to kiss her forehead.

Picking her in his arms, which resulted in her heart beating at a much faster pace than earlier, he wanted to chuckle at her squinting brows and fake attempt at sleeping.

Placing her on top of himself, he smiled when he felt her body going stiff.

Roaming his hand on her back slightly, he wanted to see how long she would be able to keep the facade of sleeping. And thus, when she didn't react to his touch even after so long, he smiled wickedly before he started roaming his finger up and down on the sideline of her neck, satisfied when he received a slight reaction from her.
