Luna spent the whole night in the study with Joshua. He finally drifted off to sleep around 4am.
Luna felt a little exhausted and uncomfortable after that. However, she was afraid that the children would wake up and discover she was gone, so she tiptoed out of the study and back into the children’s room.
As she gently opened the master bedroom door and walked out, Alice glanced in the direction Luna had left with an expression of envy and resentment.
She went into the study, dragged a drunken Joshua back into the master bedroom, and gingerly lowered him onto their bed. Then, she drew a few fake hickeys all over her body with makeup, removed her clothes, and slipped herself in between Joshua’s arms.
The first thing Joshua saw when he opened his eyes the next morning was Alice’s sleeping face. She laid next to him, stark naked, with a few dark red hickeys scattered all over her chest and arms.
Joshua's expression darkened. What happened last night?
"Are you awake, Joshua?" As if sensing his gaze, Alice slowly opened her eyes. When she realized he was staring at her naked body, she immediately blushed and tried to cover herself. "What are you looking at?"
Joshua did not know how to feel about it. He turned
his head away from her and asked, "Aren't you tired? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?”
Although he was utterly wasted, he still vaguely remembered that they had been up almost the entire night, or at least, until 3 or 4 am.
Joshua’s energy levels were different from his wife's. Ever since they had gotten married, Joshua knew that Luna Gibson’s stamina was much weaker than his. Every time they spent the night together, he would be fine the next day, but Luna always had to sleep in until past noon to regain her energy.
Since they had been up almost the entire night, he thought Alice would want to sleep a little longer. To his surprise, however, Alice chuckled. "No need. I don't feel tired."
A gleam of surprise flashed through Joshua's eyes." Really? You don't feel tired at all?"
"Nope. I'm fine." Alice could see the confusion in his eyes, so she immediately lowered her head bashfully." I’m feeling a little sore from last night, but otherwise, I'm fine. I don't need to sleep that long."
