Chapter 44: Unconscious Affection

The night was coming to an end and the sun was slowly rising in the horizon, painting the dark sky with a tinge of red.

The world was waking up, and the birds were chirping loudly as the sun’s golden rays illuminated the city.

Inside the apartment, the couple was still in their position from last night.

Ember was leaning against the sofa holding her husband’s arm, as her face was resting on the couch.

She had slept peacefully throughout the night, and she didn’t feel the slightest discomfort.

As for Nell, after he had called out to his demoness wife in his dream and was feeling a sense of despair, the nightmare suddenly vanished and his body relaxed.

It was the end of his nightmare, and now, he was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face.

[Host’s Nightmare has been dealt with.

<Activating Dream Synchronization>

...

...

<Complete>

Host Nellas and his wife’s dreams are now synchronized.

They will now have the same dream, and they will see each other in their dreams.]

The system was the reason why Nell’s nightmare had disappeared and caused a smile to bloom on his face.

With the system’s interference, Nell and Ember were now having the same dream, and, they could meet each other in the dreamscape.

Of course, they wouldn’t know about this, and everything would happen subconsciously.

[System is going into sleep mode to give both Hosts some privacy.

Please enjoy the Dream date, Hosts.]

With that, unknown to the couple, the system went into sleep mode, leaving them to have their own romantic date.

....

"Mmm,"

The dream lasted for the whole night until it was time for Nellas to wake up.

His eyelids slowly fluttered open, and the early morning light made him squint.

’It is already morning?’

Thinking that, his hands moved to touch his face and he tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes.

However, something was restricting his movements.

’What is it?’

A small frown appeared on his face, and he glanced at his right arm, which was being held by Ember.

A confused expression surfaced on his face as he didn’t understand why his wife was sleeping next to him and why she was on the floor.

’Did she come here while I was asleep? But why?’

Thoughts like that were running through his mind, and he wasn’t sure what had happened while he was asleep.

He wanted to get up and move her to the bed, so he could let his wife have a good sleep.

However, when he tried to move, a soft noise was heard in his ears, and his heart skipped a beat.

"N-No... don’t go..."

Ember muttered in her sleep, and her grip on his hand tightened.

"Em-Ember,"

Nell called her name, but the woman was still asleep, and a sad expression was present on her face.

"Em," He called again, but there was no change, and his wife’s grip on his hand was still tight.

’Is she... having a nightmare?’

A worried expression appeared on his face as he saw the small tears gathering at the corners of his wife’s eyes.

’I need to wake her up.’

He thought and tried to free his hand from her grasp but she wouldn’t let go.

"N-No,"

Ember let out another sad moan, and this time, the tears began to fall from her eyes.

’Shit,’

A sense of helplessness filled Nell’s heart, and the sight of his wife crying in her sleep was too painful for him to bear.

"Alright, alright, I won’t go."

Giving up on freeing his hand, he tried to calm her down, and gently placed his other hand on her head, as he caressed her hair.

"I will not go anywhere, okay?"

He spoke and the woman’s expression softened a little.

A content sigh left his lips, and he began to stroke her head gently, making her calm down.

"There, there. Sleep peacefully, my wife."

"Mmm..." As he kept caressing her head, her expression gradually returned to normal, and her tears stopped flowing.

Witnessing it, a smile bloomed on his face, and he kept moving his hand on her hair for a few minutes until her grip on his hand loosened.

’Thank God, she is sleeping peacefully now.’

Thinking that, he removed his hand from her grip, and his fingers brushed against her soft cheeks in the process.

’I should take her to the bedroom and let her sleep peacefully,’

With that thought, his hands moved, and he was going to pick her up, but before he could, his wife suddenly moved, and her body slid from the side of the sofa.

’Shit,’

Nellas cursed as he saw Ember falling to the floor.

Instinctively, he moved his legs, so his body could fall on the ground and cushion his wife.

However, just as his back touched the ground, his eyes widened as his wife’s body slammed on top of him, and her lips collided with his.

"Mmm~"

A moan involuntarily left his lips, and he could feel her soft and plump lips pressed against his.

It was a kiss, and it was unexpected.

Even though it wasn’t his first kiss with his wife, he still couldn’t help but feel happy.

The warmth of her body was making his heart melt and her sweet fragrance was tickling his nose.

"Haa~"

A second passed, and Nellas gently pushed Ember’s body so he could separate their lips.

His eyes were staring at her face, and his gaze fell on her moist and pinkish lips.

"Ahem,"

After a while of looking at her lips, Nellas cleared his throat, and a hint of blush was visible on his face.

His eyes glanced at his wife’s face, and the expression on her face was peaceful as if she hadn’t woken up at all.

’Good,’

His heart was pounding, and his hand subconsciously reached to touch her lips.

’At least she is sleeping peacefully,’

Thinking that he moved her body and placed her head on his chest.

He didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable, so he used his chest as a pillow.

’It’s fine. Let her sleep for a while longer. After all, I still have some hours left before that old man shows up.’

With his legs on the sofa and his back on the ground, Nellas was in an uncomfortable position.

However, he didn’t mind it, and a gentle smile surfaced on his face, as he watched his wife’s peaceful sleeping face.
