Chapter 379 - 379: Get Some Rest, You’ll Need It (2/2)
Even in his sleep, Ethan's protective instinct was remarkable. He keeps on a secured hold onto her, not hugging her too tightly as to harm their baby.
After a few minutes, Lillie finally mustered up the strength to lift her eyelids open. She frowned, displeased that her body decided to announce that her bladder is full.
Sighing, she carefully peeled herself off the comfort of Ethan's embrace. She slipped away easily, which indicated that Ethan must also be consciously awake, and thus, softened his hold onto her so she could go.
”...morning.” Her assumptions were proven to be correct as Ethan sleepily mumbled, eyes still closed. His deep and husky voice rippled through his throat.
Lillie shamelessly admitted in her mind that she just wanted to listen to it all day.
”Good morning.” Lillie softly greeted back. Leaning sideways, she planted a chaste kiss on his temple.
Ethan's expression visibly softened as a content smile stretched his lips. He opened his eyes and stared at the goddess who bestowed him a gentle kiss.
Lillie couldn't help but giggle at the drunk-like look he's making. ”Those two are probably awake now.” She flung her legs on the edge of the bed and stood up.
”I doubt they'll sleep peacefully after everything that happened last night.” Ethan sat up and yawned, stretching his arms above him. He groaned in satisfaction when he heard the pleasant pop of his stiff bones.
Blinking off the drowsiness in his eyes, he squinted at the digital clock on the nightstand.
It read 6:03 am.
Standing up, he made his way towards the bathroom—right after when Lillie just went in—to freshen up.
What? They're living under one roof, slept in one bed, and are already expecting a baby soon. Going in the bathroom together is not weird.

Now that they're fresh as lettuce, Lillie and Ethan went down and headed towards the dining area to have breakfast.
Nearing their destination, Lillie caught the strong smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting in the air. Displeased, her eyebrows creased into a frown.
Fortunately, it wasn't overwhelming enough to make her hurl.
Yet.
She wasn't in her first trimester yet, and Lillie already dreads every pregnant women's nightmare.
Morning sickness.
Ever the observant, Ethan noticed her discomfort straight away.
”Are you feeling unwell?” He asked, lightly squeezing her hand in concern.
”Ah, nothing serious. It's just that the coffee...” Lillie didn't need to explain further.
Ethan nodded, understanding his wife's situation. ”I'll have coffee banned in the house from now on.”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #!_%!d(string=11957027006657805)/chapter-379-get-some-rest-you%E2%80%99ll-need-it_%!d(string=51037642996902089) for visiting.
”I can bear it still.” Lillie insisted. ”It's okay if I don't smell it, so don't be excessive in banning it. Besides, I don't think it would bother me the whole phase.”
She reasoned that banning coffee completely would dishearten a lot of people in the house.
Nearly everyone in Tranquil Villa loves drinking coffee—especially the younger housekeepers and the securities. The elders like Butler Tian and Nanny Ying mostly prefer tea.
”Understandable,” Ethan relented. ”But once the coffee smell gets to you, tell me immediately.”
”There's probably no need to. I'm sure it'll be pretty obvious.” Lillie chuckled with a teasing smile.
”You still need to tell me everything that makes you uncomfortable.” Ethan stubbornly said. ”For all I know, my scent is making you nauseous.”
”You're being silly. I'm sure that wouldn't happen in the long run.”
Truth be told, she's getting more and more enticed by his scent as she progresses through pregnancy. For the lack of a better word, you could say she's grown addicted.
Ethan doesn't usually wear cologne, which was a relief. Lillie was also glad he doesn't style his hair with wax or gel. She loves running her fingers on his smooth hair without the icky sensation, thank you very much.
