“Yeah.”

Tristan was wholly unbothered about Sophie seeing his nude photo when he was young because she would be laying eyes on him while he was in his birthday suit sooner or later.

In fact, she would be seeing the real thing after they had gotten married.

“Are you tired as you didn’t nap today? Rest for a while since you’ve finished looking at the photos.”

“Okay.”

Sophie went back over to his bed. The bedsheet and covers were new, with the lingering fragrance of detergent.

The smell was quite pleasant to the senses.

Lying on the bed, she pulled the covers over her. Tristan was also a tad tired, so he lay down with her.

“Would it be somewhat ill-mannered for us to sleep here when everyone else is downstairs?” Worry flooded Sophie even as she nestled in his embrace.

“There’s no need to bother about that. Don’t worry! My family is easy to get along with, and they’ll take care of Arius.”

“All right, then.”

Cuddled in his arms, Sophie felt incredibly peaceful at that very moment. I like this. This is great.

Shortly after, she fell asleep in his arms. At her docile sleeping countenance, Tristan could not resist kissing her on the forehead.

As he stared at her, he eventually dozed off as well.

Downstairs, Arius knew that Tristan had taken Sophie upstairs. Sophie was in the habit of napping, and the same went for him.
