Chapter 189 It's Over, He Got Caught
A light kiss, sweet and thrilling.
Charles's heart raced.
First time he felt this kind of tingle.
He wanted to pinch Luna's cheek. He'd pinched her nose before, and it felt good.
But he worried pinching her cheek would wake her.
As they got closer, Charles impulsively kissed her.
'So, this is how sweet she tastes...' he thought.
The sweet tingle seeped into his heart.
If a light kiss felt this way, what would a deeper kiss be like? Like soaking in honey?
Charles never knew he could crave kisses so much.
He took a deep breath and kissed Luna on the lips this time.
When he kissed her lips, he couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling nervous, focused, and intoxicated.
His lips pressed against hers, soft and fragrant, with a lemon scent.
She'd drunk a lot of lemon water tonight, and it felt like tasting lemon water from her mouth—sour, sweet, and refreshing.
"Mmm... I'm sorry." Luna mumbled, groggily opening her eyes.
Charles was startled, his heart almost leaping out of his chest.
Before Luna fully opened her eyes, Charles quickly moved away, leaning heavily against the chair with a thud, making his scalp tingle.
It's over!
He got caught stealing a kiss from Luna!
Today, he'd already been labeled a pervert for saying the wrong thing, and now he kissed her while she was sleeping. No way he could clear his name now.
So he decided to just give up.
He sat there silently, waiting for Luna's judgment.
Why did Luna just apologize to him?
Charles's remaining rationality reminded him there might still be a chance.
Luna was now fully awake. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Charles.
Seeing his unpleasant expression and unwillingness to engage, Luna knew her old habit had acted up.
"Charles, don't be like this. I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry."
Luna was fully awake now, looking at Charles sincerely.
Charles was confused, his tone carrying disbelief. "Why are you apologizing?"
Luna thought he was angry. She clasped her hands together, striving to project an aura of genuine innocence and sincerity.
"I really didn't mean to do that to you! It's a quirk I've had since I was little. I like to hold onto something when I sleep. When I was a kid, I would hold onto my dad's neck or arm, and when Eric was just a toddler, I would hold onto him."
"Later, when I got older, my dad bought me a pink teddy bear, and I would hold onto that bear every night to sleep, otherwise, I couldn't sleep well. I must have been half-asleep just now and ended up holding onto you."
"My dad said that when I was little, I would also like to kiss him and Eric on the cheek when I was half-asleep. No need to fret! I wasn't taking advantage of you while sleeping. After all, if I wanted to take advantage of you, I wouldn't be so obvious about it."
Luna, half-asleep earlier, felt that Charles was very close to her, and she seemed to have kissed him.
Charles, with his notable restraint, wouldn't have made the first move for a kiss. After all, he only partnered with her because he didn't want a second marriage.
So it must have been her old habit acting up, and she treated Charles like a stuffed toy to hold while sleeping.
Charles must have felt he suffered a great loss; otherwise, he wouldn't be reacting this way.
Charles inexplicably felt relieved, and why did he feel a bit delighted?
