Eli did not reject Leon's actions. Instead she faced it head on.
However she could not help but tremble from the indescribable sensation she felt the moment Leon kissed her lips.
She couldn't help but marvel at the novels she had read before, the sensation was really akin to a wave of electricity, causing a great turmoil on her mind, soul and body.
She closed her eyes, lifting her hands up to wrap it on Leon's arms.
Eli allowed Leon to invade her lips and show his love. She let herself get lost in the waves of affection and the heat of the moment, which she knew was something precious.
This was the first time they kissed like this. It was sloppy and inexperienced, yet no one felt the awkwardness upon discovering this fact.
It was only until Leon realized that Eli was out of breath that he dazedly parted her lips. It was a new experience for the two of them and he knew that he had to take it slow.
However, upon seeing a clear view of Eli's face, which was flushed with the tint of wine and her eyes moist with glimmering affection, he felt that his heart could get enough.
Once again he invaded her lips, like an unsatiated beast seeking the taste of the sweetest fruit he had painstakingly found.
He only paused to let Eli breathe for a while then he would go again, feeling addicted to the taste of her love.
But as soon as he realized that his body would crave for more than this, he knew that he had to stop… for now.
He reluctantly departed her lips and gave Eli flurry kisses on her forehead, on her eyelids, on her cheeks on her nose, marking it all as his territory.
With a raspy voice that would make any woman feel weak on their knees for its sultriness, he mumbled with unwillingness, "I'll have to wait until we marry.."
He had already gone past the conventional means with Elise's body before. But now that he had a chance to start over, he wanted to treat her and Elise's body with utmost respect. This is both his love and atonement.
Only under the sacredness of marriage will he allow himself to take her like what normal couples do.
"Uhn.." Eli, who was still enthralled in the moment, could only nod in agreement. But she completely understood Leon's way of thinking.
In truth, she was pretty open minded about the fact that Leon did it before. That was because she came from the modern world, where even brokenhearts could find the best ending.
Rustle rustle…
The two were awakened by the rustles coming from Little Han's direction. "Awmmp!" The little guy puffed his cheeks looking uncomfortable as his eyes fluttered open.
"It seems like we disturbed his sleep." Eli let out a soft chuckle. "I think we really need to retire for the night."
Leon could also only smile and scratch his head guiltily. He saw Eli scooting over the far side of her bed and pulled Little Han closer to her body.
She patted Little Han to sleep again but the little guy continued to pout adorably while looking at his father who was awkwardly standing beside their bed.
Two pairs of crystal blue eyes looking at each other, one with a gentle expression while the other with an innocent look of dependence.
"Awumm.." Little Han blabbered, as if saying something to his dad. He stretched out his little hand and tried to reach the hem of his father's clothes.
Leon leaned closer, curious as to what his son wanted to convey. But after letting his son touch the hem of his shirt, the little one pulled it with all his might repeatedly.
"Huh?" Raising his brows in interest, Leon looked at Little Han inquisitively while darting his attention to Eli.
Seeing Leon's troubled face, Eli chuckled and said, "Take your pillow, I'll make you a room on our bed."
"P-pardon?" Leon was shocked. Is Eli inviting him to bed?
"Little Han wants to sleep with the two of us, I think we will have to squeeze ourselves in my little bed." Eli explained with a nonchalant expression.
She was amused to see Leon panic when she 'invited' him to bed just after saying that he promised not to touch her until they married.
'This guy was so aggressive earlier but now he was like a shy boy..' Eli once again laughed softly.
"O-oh…Then I'll go over.." Leon replied absentmindedly, while he stiffly turned around and took his own pillow.
There's already a small space for him on Eli's bed. Waiting for him were two people who brought joy in his heart.
One looked at him with love and a hint of teasing, the other looked at him with an anticipating look. 'Eli and Little Han, my lovely family.'
He was filled with excitement and joy upon knowing that he would share a bed with his most favorite people. However, he tried to contain his eagerness so as to not lose control, especially to Eli.
Puffing up his pillow, he placed it carefully beside Little Han. Slowly yet awkwardly, he squeezed in their bed. He turned his body sidewards, where he could see both Eli and Little Han's faces.
Little Han was so cute and tiny, it sparked his instincts to indulge and protect him.
His Lady, Eli, was lovely and captivating, he very much wanted to go out and let the whole world know how he loves her so much.
"Jihihi.." Little Han's little round head turned to look at his mommy and daddy sleeping beside him, then he flashed his cute milk teeth and let out a satisfied giggle.
"Haha, are you satisfied to see us beside you?" Eli found Little Han's idea funny and adorable at the same time.
His son's giggle was so infectious that the two couldn't help but also chuckle.
"Ayeee!" Little Han responded with a sweet smile, squinting his eyes full of contentment. He held his Mommy and Daddy's fingers and tried to place it on top of his chubby tummy.
The two smiled and gently placed their hands around their little son's tummy, one humming a lullaby, the other rubbing his tummy to sleep.
Still with a silly smile on his face, Little Han swiftly entered his dreamland again.
Eli and Leon's hearts melted, gently planting a kiss on their baby as they mouthed, "Sleep tight our precious baby.."
Then they looked at each other and said, "Good night Eli/Leon.."
Thus, the night finally ended for this little family, and it was one of the sweetest nights they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
The morning came thereafter, giving the much desired warmth ahead.
Eli and Leon had been working hard for the past few days and were not able to wake up early. But someone was trying to wake them up with wet sluggish kisses from all over their faces.
Leon sleepily opened his eyes, to see Little Han lying on his tummy, grinning at him happily. "Dadi…" He mumbled.
Hearing the words, Leon's mind was jolted awake and he scrambled like a panicked man on the little bed. He did not even care for his red blood hair which was completely disheveled by Little Han's playing.
His eyes open wide, staring at Little Han in disbelief.
"Uhhhh, what happened?" Eli was alarmed by Leon's drastic movement, she groggily sat up and asked what happened.
"Mami!!!" Little Han happily called out.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Ehh?" Eli was also as surprised as Leon. She looked at Leon as if asking if she was still dreaming.
Leon was also as baffled as Eli. In their minds, Little Han was still a month younger to speak words with this level of clarity.
"Dadi… Mami…" Little Han crawled over and sat in the middle, he wiggled his hands and body while calling out the two excitedly.
"Ahahaha!! My son's first words!!!" Leon, still unaware that his appearance was completely out of his image as a cold blooded prince, lifted Little Han up and swung him around happily.
"Eli, Eli!!! My son, he called me daddy!! He called me daddy!!!"
He shouted excitedly and happily kissed Little Han. It was obvious that he was exhilarated upon realizing that he just heard Little Han's first words.
"Yes, I heard it, I heard it.. He called you daddy!" Eli was about to complain why Little Han managed to call Leon 'daddy' first, but seeing his excited expression, she chose to indulge him and replied with a happy smile.
"Ahahaha! I'm blessed by the heavens!" He shouted before rushing out the bedroom, calling Kayden and the Blades, even Baobao and the rest to boast about Little Han's achievement.
Seeing Leon's actions, Eli could only shake her head helplessly.
But deep inside extreme joy was overflowing in her heart. "The heavens heard the prayer of my heart. I'm glad to be here when Little Han said his first words."
She lifted her eyes to the heavens and said, "Great One, Oh my Father.. Thank you for letting me witness this. Also, don't forget to share this news to Elise up there. I am sure she would be very happy too!"
