Chapter 1425: Th-That"s not true
Sleeping with Rean was quite comfortable. That was undeniable. Because of that, many hours went by in a flash before Rean finally woke up again. "Knowing Roan, it shouldn"t take long for him to come back."
It was then that Rean looked beside him... or both his sides, to be more exact. On his right, Rafatia was soundly asleep, hugging him. "So cute..." he thought with a smile. The surprising thing was on the left side, though. "So she did come to sleep with me and even brought her daughter together. Well, I guess that makes sense. As a mother, she would feel safer if her child was always close. It"s just that she"s making it quite hard to move..."
At the moment, Falangia was completely entangled around Rean, looking more like an octopus that didn"t want to let go. Suddenly, Rean felt Roan"s presence. "Oh, he"s back."
The door of the room opened as Roan got inside. Rean had left an order that if one guy that looked just like him appeared, they should let him go up to the room. That"s why Roan didn"t find any obstacle on his way up. Roan didn"t care about the noise since he thought he gave everyone enough time to rest.
"I got the information," Roan said, completely ignoring the scene in front of him.
Surprisingly, Rean didn"t seem concerned either as he replied, "Oh, is that so?" With that, Rean patted Falangia"s head, who was already more or less awake due to the noise. "Hey, Falangia. It"s time to wake up. Can you take your legs and arms off me?"
Hearing that, Falangia finally opened her eyes, although she still had a drowsy expression. "Hmmm... but it feels so good. Can"t I sleep a little bit more, please?"
Roan narrowed his eyes in response, telling her, "Stop talking bulls.h.i.t and wake up already."
Only then did Falangia"s mind come back to reality as she saw what was happening. Her chest was pressing against Rean while their faces were very close to each other. As mentioned before, she was holding Rean so tight that it felt like she simply didn"t want to let him go. If she tried to get any closer, perhaps she would pa.s.s through him. "Ahhh!"
Her expression went as red as a tomato as she jumped away like a rabbit. "This! That! I mean! I didn"t mean to! Sorry! I..."
Rean and Roan looked at her in confusion. "What are you talking about? You ended up like that because you were sleeping. It"s normal to make unconscious moves while you"re in that state." Sure enough, none of the twins felt anything about that. They both simply attributed the scene to Falangia"s sleep deprivation.
"Mommy... why are you screaming?" It was then that a little girl"s voice echoed in Falangia"s ears. Rafatia had also woken up and saw that she was also hugging Rean. The difference was that as a kid, she didn"t really mind that much. "Big brother Rean is so warm..."
Rean laughed out loud after hearing that. "Hahaha! But of course!" He then patted the girl"s head before asking, "So, did you sleep well?"
Rafatia nodded with a smile. "It was very good."
At the same time, Roan took the opportunity to wake Luan up. Little did they know, but a certain girl looked at Rafatia with a very jealous expression. "My daughter... I wish I was you at the moment." Obviously, she couldn"t do it as she had no excuse for that. "Ahem... in any case, sorry for that. I took your offer so that Rafatia could have a better rest."
Roan was very good at detecting lies, and Rean learned a lot from him in this regard. That said... "I don"t know why you"re lying, but whatever." It"s not like this sleeping event had any serious repercussions, thought the twins.
"I-I"m not lying! I really wanted to do that."
Unfortunately for her, Rean ignored her as he helped Rafatia up while Roan did the same with Luan. They completely ignored Falangia, who was branded as the one who really wanted to sleep with Rean. Well... she did want it anyway.
However, her embarra.s.sment didn"t last long. That"s because she noticed that neither Rean nor Roan seemed to take her actions to heart. What did that mean? That meant that neither of the two thought that Falangia wanted anything with Rean. That also meant that Rean had never considered her as a possible love partner either. With that realization, the embarra.s.sment was swapped for a deep feeling of sadness. "He really sees me as nothing more than a kid... I know he"s much, much older than me, so I probably look just like a kid in his eyes. Still..."
However, she quickly shook her head. "Why am I even feeling sad? Doesn"t that mean he"s being faithful to that girl called Qia they mentioned? If he really decided to simply betray her because of me, then that wouldn"t be the Rean I came to know during these last few weeks."
By piling up one excuse after another in her mind, she finally settled her emotions again... until she looked at the messed-up bed, and the image of her entanglement with Rean reappeared in her once more. Instantly, she grew hot red once again. "Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! Forget it..."
Rean and Roan didn"t know about Falangia"s train of thought. Instead, they seemed to be discussing something through Divine Sense, or so Falangia thought. Well, she wasn"t entirely wrong. It"s just that they used their Soul Connection instead.
As they did that, Rafatia came to talk with her mother in the corner of the room. "Mommy, come closer," the little girl said with a slightly embarra.s.sed expression.
Falangia didn"t know what her daughter wanted, so she had to get down to let Rafatia murmur in her ear. "Mommy, do you like big brother Rean as well?"
*Puff!*
Falangia"s mind finally exploded after that, and she couldn"t process any thoughts anymore. "W-what are you talking about? Th-that"s not true!"
However, Rafatia didn"t stop there as she became even more embarra.s.sed, telling her mother, "Then.... I"ll ask big brother Rean to marry me."
