The next morning, Lu Xia woke to find herself still locked tightly in Graces's embrace. Ever since his Beastification Gene had been activated, the man seemed to have transformed into a giant, clingy creature.
In the past, even when they slept in the same bed, Graces had always been restrained. He never would have dared to hold her like this.
However, Lu Xia didn't mind. It was just that as she shifted slightly, her body tensed at their close proximity.
Fortunately, her movement woke Graces. He immediately let go and created some distance, allowing her to relax.
By now, Graces had already thrown off the light blanket and gotten out of bed. He walked over to Lu Xia's side, knelt on one knee, and reached out to put on her shoes.
Lu Xia started to refuse, but her ankle was gently yet firmly grasped by his large hand. "I already told you, you don't have to..."
