Chapter 1272 So Happy
Suddenly hearing her mother say this, Daryl couldn't help but smile and say, "Mom, you're the one I care about the most."
As he spoke, Daryl peeled an orange and placed a segment into Azalea's mouth. Azalea chewed the orange and laughed, "Isn't that a bit insincere? I'm strict with her now, but it's for you, for our family. Our family needs a competent mistress in the future!"
"Mom, I know you mean well, but you also care about your daughter-in-law. Teach her slowly, don't rush it. Haste makes waste!" Daryl smiled and placed another orange segment into his mother's mouth.
Azalea's mood lightened and she became happy.
"You never have time to keep me company, but now you'll do anything for your wife." Azalea smiled kindly, her words carrying a hint of teasing.
Daryl lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.
At this moment, Cecilia came out of the dining room and walked to the sofa. She said to Azalea, "Mom, the servants have cleaned and put away all the dishes."
"Good, you've had a long day. Go upstairs and rest." Azalea nodded.
"Yes." Cecilia felt relieved upon hearing this.
She glanced at Daryl, who was sitting on the sofa, and he gave her a look. Cecilia then headed upstairs.
Daryl stayed with Azalea, watching TV and chatting.
He kept offering her different snacks, unable to sit still.
Azalea noticed but continued chatting with him.
Around ten o'clock, Azalea finally said, "It's getting late. Go upstairs and rest. Your body is here with me, but your heart is already upstairs, isn't it?"
Daryl laughed, "Mom, I've spent the whole evening with you, and you still say that. I'm really hurt!"
"Insincere." Azalea smiled kindly.
"Mom, you should rest early too." Daryl said and then went upstairs.
He opened the bedroom door, and the room was dimly lit by a single wall lamp.
Seeing this, Daryl walked quietly, closed the door, and approached the bed. He looked down and saw that Cecilia was already asleep.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, he didn't want to disturb her, so he went to the bathroom to shower.
Over half an hour later, Daryl, wearing a robe, sat at the bedside when Cecilia finally opened her sleepy eyes.
Seeing Daryl in his robe looking at her, Cecilia said, "Did I fall asleep?"
"Not only did you fall asleep, but you were snoring too!" Daryl smiled.
Cecilia touched her face. "Was I really snoring?"
Today, Cecilia felt especially tired. After taking a hot bath upstairs, she intended to wait for Daryl in bed, but she kept yawning and eventually fell asleep.
"You looked really cute snoring!" Daryl said, gently touching Cecilia's face.
"Really?" Cecilia smiled.
"Yeah, like a cute little pig." Daryl teased.
Cecilia playfully hit Daryl.
Daryl took the opportunity to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Cecilia ended up lying on Daryl's lap, resting her head there.
Daryl looked down at Cecilia, stroking her soft hair. He asked, "Was it tough at home today?"
Cecilia frowned, "How do you know it was tough?"
"I know my mom well enough. You must have felt wronged." Daryl kissed Cecilia's hand.
Though Cecilia felt a bit wronged, it didn't matter. What could be more comforting than a husband who understood and cared? Despite her strict mother-in-law, she knew she had to take good care of the family.
"Was work tough today?" Cecilia asked, touching Daryl's face.
"Not as tough as you." Daryl replied, stroking her hair.
Cecilia laughed, "The CEO's job isn't as tough as mine?"
"We just have different roles, both working towards the same goal—our happy life together." Daryl smiled.
"Your words are so sweet now." Cecilia pinched Daryl's cheeks.
Daryl raised an eyebrow. "Very sweet, you can taste it."
He leaned down to kiss Cecilia.
But Cecilia quickly pushed him away, darting to the edge of the bed. "You can't mess around tonight!"
"Who else should I mess around with if not my wife?" Daryl pretended to ponder.
"Nobody tonight!" Cecilia insisted.
Daryl smiled, "Just tonight?"
Cecilia frowned, "I'm really tired today. I just want to chat and sleep."
Daryl pulled her into his arms, stroking her head. "Alright, we'll just chat and sleep tonight."
"Turn off the light." Cecilia smiled.
"Okay." Daryl nodded.
The wall lamp was turned off, and the room fell into darkness.
Cecilia lay in Daryl's arms, their fingers intertwined, gazing at the stars outside the window, whispering to each other.
At that moment, Cecilia felt incredibly happy, hoping time would stop so they could stay like this forever.
Though they promised not to mess around, after a long sleep, their closeness led to an unconscious kiss, and they ended up making love.
The consequence was Cecilia oversleeping. The next morning, when she opened her eyes, the sun was already high.
She sat up in a panic, seeing it was nine o'clock!
She quickly jumped out of bed, rushed to the bathroom, got ready, and hurried downstairs.
In the living room, she saw Azalea sitting on the sofa.
"Mom?" Cecilia called out.
Azalea glanced at her sternly. "Do you know what time it is?"
