Chapter 57: No golem
After Sara left the kitchen to go to Schnee's room, Alex didn't waste time.
He headed straight to Stella's room, which was always open for him.
From the beginning, Stella wanted Alex to take care of her.
Knowing that, and the fact that Sara told him to not hold back, Alex wasn't feeling nervous or stressed. It would be the reunion in which he would congratulate Stella for following the proper routine.
Although Stella took care of herself and the room solely due to Celia's warnings, she still followed the little dullahan and Alex's wish. Both of them wanted the winged lady to have a better lifestyle.
Thus, Alex naturally wanted to praise Stella.
In a few minutes, he appeared before her doors. Out of courtesy, Alex knocked on those doors. Of course, deep inside, Alex knew she wouldn't answer him.
He waited a few seconds, then stepped in.
Stella's room was in much better shape than before. It had been some time since Celia's last visit, so it was just a little messy here. Nonetheless, the contrast between her old room and the current one was clear.
Alex smiled and approached the sleeping lady.
For a lazy person, Stella had a few sleeping positions. Her current one was her sleeping soundlessly while sprawled. Her white wings were spread widely behind her, becoming another comfortable layer for the white-haired beauty.
In that pose, Stella revealed the full potential of her curves.
On his way, Alex unconsciously took a few glances here and here. The images of her long legs, thick thighs, slim stomach, and big breasts going up and down flashed a few times as if tempting him to seize all of Stella for himself.
Such a defenseless woman in her pajamas was too alluring for a young man. It would be a lie if Alex said the thought of hugging Stella hadn't crossed his mind.
Still, he kept himself in check. Alex knew what their current relationship was, and he wouldn't do any surprises to the sleeping lady.
It was time to make little progress in their relationship, though!
He forced himself to look at Stella's pretty face. As she slept soundlessly, she was adorable.
Alex chuckled and whispered, "I am back. Would a pretty lady wake up for me?"
Stella's eyelashes fluttered, slowly revealing her golden eyes. Still half-asleep, Stella lifted her eyes and looked deeply at Alex.
"Golem?" Stella asked immediately.
"…I don't have a golem for you." Alex's lips quivered before replying.
To this response, Stella maintained her half-asleep expression. Nothing rippled in her beautiful irises, yet Alex felt a wave of disappointment going down him as if Stella somehow poured it down at him.
He scratched his hair, "You knew from the beginning that the golem is impossible for me."
Although Stella didn't belong to the smartest, she was still pretty knowledgeable.
In fact, Stella's forte was much different. She could read emotions well. That trait came from her winged race, and it had remarkably helped her maintain her current lifestyle.
She saw through people's emotions.
"And you know…" Alex sighed, "I wouldn't like golem around you. It would be much better for you to rely on Celia and Sara instead. That is only if you really need someone to motivate you."
Alex's tone contained a few emotions. But even though he was also disappointed and a little irritated, Alex was also happy for some reason. Still, more than anything, Alex was relieved for her.
Stella stared at him. Inwardly, she had been reading him ever since she woke up. That was unconscious action, something Stella always did without even trying.
"Will you take care of me today?" Stella asked slowly.
Alex replied with a smile, "I will. I've promised to take care of you, haven't I? And you have already done a lot by yourself and with Celia. Take a seat… Since Sara is busy with Schnee and Celia is sleeping, I can only help you with everything alone."
In his voice, Stella noticed nervousness and embarrassment.
Perhaps, those two emotions made her take a seat on the bed by herself. She sat down and faced Alex, who had brought a chair for himself.
Facing her, Alex extended his hands and slowly unbuttoned Stella's pajama. He did it slowly, for known reasons, languorously revealing more of her ample chest.
Stella stared into his eyes, then suddenly asked, "Is it not exhausting?"
"Exhausting?" Alex stopped midway; his hands were frozen as Stella asked before he wholly took off her upper pajama.
But since he immediately understood Stella's words, he knew what he had to say. Although it seemed like Stella was selfish due to her forte, she knew how bothersome and annoying her laziness was.
In her prime days, many servants had hidden their negative emotions from her. One event had made all servants from her mother's household frightened.
They feared becoming Stella's servants.
In short, Stella knew how exhausting it was to be with her.
Nonetheless, as Alex became her husband, he was bound to be around her. On their first meeting, she saw through his heart, resulting in her simply throwing herself onto him.
And as he continued to stay around them, Stella inferred that Alex was a guy she could entrust herself to.
Nonetheless, there was a minor event in Alex's absence in which Stella had remembered the negative emotions of her servants.
Celia was the main culprit of that event. In one of her daily duties, Celia whispered to herself those words: 'It's so tough!'
Tough was one of the new words Celia had learned from her mother. She didn't have any wrong intent behind those words.
But that made Stella remember about old days.
Alex shrugged, "You are pretty demanding. I can't lie about that, can I?" He continued taking off Stella's pajama.
At last, that piece of cloth slid through Stella's hands, leaving her body. As a result, Stella's big chest jumped, drawing Alex's eyes.
He promptly retracted his eyes, "But I will be the same in the future. I will need you."
