Chapter 884: I’m Very Lucky, and So Are You

The scent wafting from her body and hair to his nose was very familiar, it was the mint fragrance he always liked.She was wearing the nightdress Elina had bought for her; whether Elina did it intentionally or not, the neckline was a bit wide.

Henry Dales had to muster up a great deal of effort to move his gaze away from that area of the neckline.

Yet, despite being hailed as a man of principle, he still behaved somewhat unprincipled.

Henry Dales sat down by the bed.

The room was heated well, the down quilt covering Scarlett Yates was very warm, and she had just taken a fragrant hot bath; at this moment, while still drowsy, Scarlett’s cheeks were flushed like ripe apples, subtly exuding a sweet aroma.

This scent bewitched Henry Dales.

His hand gently reached to her cheek.

Long, beautiful fingers landed on her warm cheek, tracing lightly along the contours of her face.

"Scarlett, is it truly you?" Henry Dales’ voice was soft, carrying a dreamlike quality, as if raising it slightly would shatter the beautiful scene before him.

The skin he touched was warm.

Thus, Henry Dales knew that this time, he wasn’t just dreaming.

Lying in bed was the real Scarlett Yates, within his reach.

Once, scenes like this appeared countless times in his dreams.

He would repeatedly dream the same dream where Scarlett Yates lay in his bed, asleep calmly and serenely, much like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

Then, he would prepare warm water for her, squeeze toothpaste, make breakfast, and after everything was ready, he would kiss her awake.

After that, he would pat her head gently and greet her good morning, further informing her that breakfast was ready.

They would sit together for breakfast, go out together holding hands afterward, taking a walk, shopping...

These are things ordinary couples do, but for him, they are a luxury.

"Scarlett, when I saw you, I thought I was hallucinating."

"Because, many times, I have such hallucinations, thinking you’ve truly appeared before me, only for them to vanish quickly."

"So, at the auction, I hesitated for several seconds, almost letting someone else buy you, and when I realized you truly existed rather than being an illusion, I broke out in a cold sweat. If I hesitated for over five seconds more, you would have been bought for ten million."

His slender fingers stopped moving when they reached the corner of her lips.

His icy gaze turned a bit dark; he pursed his lips, and his fingers moved from her lip corner to her lips.

Soft lips like marshmallow.

Thus, his gaze grew darker, with a small flickering flame jumping and sparkling in his eyes.

"I’m very grateful for the sudden decision to go there tonight, even though I usually loathe that place, now I only feel fortunate, and so are you."

He continued with a smile on his lip: "Scarlett, would this count as Heaven bringing you to me? He must know I miss you so much it’s driving me mad."

His voice slowly became lower, turning much hoarser.
