Chapter 689
“Yes, Mr. Fairhaven,” with a knowing nod, Lily set off to change the bed linens.
While the villa employed a housekeeper, the bedroom was a sanctuary that Jareth trusted only Lily to tend to and arrange.
The heavy, luxurious velvet drapes were still drawn, infusing the dim room with the lingering warmth of last night’s passion, a scent of love that hung thick in the air.
Catching sight of the disheveled bed, Lily couldn’t help but beam with joy. Clearly, the young couple had not held back in their nighttime endeavors.
Once Jareth left, she’d have to give Marilla’s waist, which had weathered the storm of their affection, a good massage.
Lily swiftly replaced the sheets and duvet with crisp, clean ones and gathered Jareth’s scattered clothes into the laundry basket.
Ever since Jareth had expressed his intent to marry Marilla to his family, and formally approached the Abernathy family, Lily hadn’t seen a single condom. It was clear as day that Jareth was eager for Marilla to bear his child.
With their relationship as sweet as honey, it seemed only a matter of time before Jareth’s wish came true.
Lily, her face bright with happiness, had just stepped out of the bedroom when Jareth’s deep voice called out, “Lily, for the next few days, stay with Marilla at home; let her rest and heal. The classes at Elmsworth Academy of Fine Arts can wait.”
“Mr. Fairhaven, but…”
As Lily hesitated, the bathroom door suddenly burst open, “No! I need to go to school! I don’t want to stay home; I have to go to school!”
Jareth and Lily both froze in surprise.
Marilla, her body radiating heat, stood there soaking wet, clad only in a bath towel, her bare feet on the cool floor.
Jareth’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly shed his freshly changed suit to wrap her damp body, his garment worth of tens of thousands now reduced to a makeshift bathrobe.
Marilla’s slender figure was even more delicate against the man’s loose clothing.
