Chapter 476 - Matching Clothes
"Lilou."
I raised my hand, stopping the maid that was decorating my hair with an ornament. A smile appeared on my face before turning in my seat. There stood my husband, who just entered my room, crossing his arms with his eyes on me.
"The goods you procured the last time arrived," he said as he walked towards me. As if on cue, the maidservant bowed her head wordlessly and left us alone.
Sam squatted down in front of me, looking up for me to see his perfect facial features. I would never get enough of this man's beauty.
"We're you mad about my spending?" I asked while cupping his jaw.
"Why would I?" Sam planted a kiss on the back of my hand with his eyes on me. "I just missed you."
I chuckled at his claims. How could he say he miss me when we just had breakfast an hour ago? We had spent more time together during the past month since I awoke. Compared to our time in the palace back then, there won't be a day that we wouldn't be together despite our busy schedule.
Sam had made sure to dine with us during breakfast and dinner — lunch was a little tricky since we all had things to do during the day. Aside from that, Sam would sometimes spend his afternoon tea with me and Law and Adam. Yes, the Young Earl had stayed with us until now.
"Did you have a problem in the fort?" I asked, curious why he was extra clingy today.
"A bit, but it's resolved now."
"I see. So you just came here to get a breather?" I chuckled while petting his hair as he rested his head on my lap. No wonder my son also liked to rest his head on my lap; he took after his father.
"Yes. You're my calm, after all." My heart warmed up at his answer. "Is Baroness Fletcher's tea party today?"
"Yes. She invited me so she can introduce me to the other noble ladies." I smiled, thinking that this would be my first tea party with a noble lady after my slumber. "Law wants to come. Should I bring the young Earl?"
"Mhhm." Sam raised his head and straightened his back, staring at me. "You want to bring Adam?"
"Well, only a few people know the face of the Earl. He will be very sad if we leave him alone in here."
"Lilou, the love of my life, the Earl will soon return to his estate since he had recovered well. He will soon have to fulfill his duties as the Earl of Minowa," Sam reminded me, making me frown as my shoulders relaxed. "My baby wife..."
Sam held my hips as he let out a sigh. "I know you are worried about Adam, but he can do it. Just like Claude in the north, he will be a great Earl."
"I know that, but... I think of Adam as my own. He is so adorable, kind, and just... I don't want him to go back to the place that will remind him of those dark days in his life." My frown grew worse, thinking of how Adam looked when we first met. The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached for him.
Although Adam started smiling more and gained a bit of weight, I didn't have the heart to send him back. Even the thought of Sam backing him up still made my heart feel restless.
"What am I going to do with you, wife?" Sam held my hand and kissed it gently. "I feel like I'm sinning if I press on this matter more. I'll give you more time, then."
"Thank you, my love." I smiled, closed-lipped. "I want to spend more time with our sons. If Adam wants to return, then I will support him. I just can't force him now or even think about it."
"Mhm. I understand." He hummed while trailing kisses on my arm.
"Sam, I have a tea party to attend to."
"I know. I'm just kissing you."
I rolled my eyes as his kisses incited something else, but I let him. After he kissed me to his heart's content, Sam slowly stood up. Before he straighten his back, he planted a soft kiss on my lips while cupping my cheek.
"Sam..." I whispered in his mouth, clutching his chest.
"I'm just kissing you," he muttered, but then slipped his tongue in between my lips. I instinctively wrapped my arms around him, kissing him back passionately.
Sam and I had been busy every single night, but it seemed this only made him crave for more. It was like Sam was always in heat... just like I was.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Mother, can I come in?"
Sam clicked his tongue as he parted his lips from me and rested his forehead against mine. I couldn't help but chuckle, as this had happened multiple times. It was as if Law was keeping watch of his father, timing him on how long Sam could spend time with me alone.
"Why is he so possessive?" he complained through his gritted teeth, drawing his head back and setting them on the door.? "He really takes after you, my wife. Come in."
I chuckled and shook my head. Arguing with him about this was pointless. Sam already believed my son got his personality from me, but the more I was with them, the more I realized how Law and Sam were alike.
"My son only got my good traits, but he got most of his mother's scary traits," Sam mumbled and sigh. This time, I couldn't help but cast him a look of disbelief.
'Shameless,' I thought, but before I could call him out, Law and Adam already entered. My eyes instantly shone as soon as my gaze landed on those two young cuties.
My fingers curled, covering my lips. "My angels... so cute...!"
The matching clothes I bought for them had different colors but of the same design. Law looked great in black and red while the Adam in white and blue. Of course, since I was the one who bought their clothes for today, mine also coordinated with their clothes.
"And.... I'm the outsider here?" Sam grumbled as he darted his eyes from the two boys, then to me. "Fabian!! Get me a seamstress this instance!"
