Morning washed over Liban Palace with a warm, desert-like warmth. Sunlight filtered through the windows and danced across the walls. Cecilia slowly opened her eyes, realizing something warm and heavy was still wrapped around her waist.
Cecilia lowered her gaze, only to see Cedric hugging her body.
Cecilia unconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked Cedric's handsome face. She had never noticed it before. But when Cedric was sound asleep, he actually had quite an adorable face.
"Cough."
The thought startled Cecilia, and she ended up embarrassed by herself. She hadn't intended to wake Cedric with her coughing. However, being a light sleeper, Cedric slowly opened his eyes.
He appeared dazed for a split second. But he quickly regained his composure. He smiled when he saw Cecilia still in his arms.
"Good morning, Cecilia."
Cecilia couldn't see her own face at the moment. But she knew she looked ridiculous by the heat in her cheeks.
