Obviously, Joshua spent last night alone.
Aura slapped her forehead helplessly. Since Joshua fell asleep in his own bedroom last night, why did she not only fail to find Joshua? She even...with Michael...
It was all because of this damn power outage!
She took a deep breath and stealthily cleaned up the water stains on the ground, then took off her pajamas and lay on Joshua's bed.
She stretched out her arms and hugged Joshua from behind.
From an angle she was blind to, Joshua opened his pair of bottomless eyes. He looked down at the pair of hands that held him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. 1
Thinking of what Luna said to him last night, however...
The man sighed invisibly. He opened his eyes as if he had just woken up, glanced at the arm of the woman who was holding him, and then turned around.
"You..." He furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Aura behind him with a little disgust in his eyes and also a little surprised.
Aura bit her lip softly and looked at Joshua with those big black eyes, fixing him with a timid gaze. "Joshua,
you’re awake? You made me so sore last night..."
Joshua squinted. "I remember I had a fever last night and fell asleep alone. When did you come?"
"I..." Aura bit her lip timidly, her voice shy and delicate as she replied, "I was worried that you wouldn't sleep well last night, so I just came to see you. I didn't expect you to pull me straight into bed..."
