Claire nestled into Charlie’s bed, wrapping her arms gently around his waist. Updates are released by find⸺novel.net

In that moment, an overwhelming sense of safety enveloped her.

Though they had been together for quite some time, this was the first occasion she held Charlie like this. While she felt secure, a flutter of anxiety still raced in her heart.

Charlie, lost in his thoughts, was taken by surprise at Claire’s gesture.

When he turned to face her, Claire was equally startled.

Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she stammered, “Husband, you…you’re still awake?”

Charlie, flustered, replied, “I was asleep but woke up…”

Then, he curiously asked, “Wife, what brings you to my bed?”

Claire hesitated, her words tumbling out awkwardly: “I…I just… I just…”

After a moment of floundering, she gathered her courage and confessed, “I don’t want you to go out again, so I wanted to hug you to sleep, okay?”

Charlie felt a rush of warmth in his chest at her admission. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered tenderly, “Silly girl, I’ll be back in just a few days.”

“Yeah,” Claire smiled, leaning into his embrace. “I’ve realized that holding you like this makes me feel really safe.”

Charlie chuckled, “So, does this mean we’re leveling up? How about we share a bed from now on?”

Claire’s face turned a shade deeper as she replied softly, “It’s not impossible to level up, but for now, just one step at a time…”

Following his usual pattern, Charlie felt the urge to ask Claire when they might reach the next stage in their relationship. He was eager to know when they could start a family, especially since even Elaine had been encouraging them to have a baby soon.

Perhaps if he played his cards right, they could take that step together.

Yet, Charlie couldn’t shake the lingering image of Nanako Ito from his mind, which left him feeling uneasy.

This sensation was like a thorn in his heart, quickly bringing him back to a more composed state.

He gently held Claire and reassured her, “It’s alright; you’ll move to the next level, and we can sleep together.”

Claire was taken aback by his response.

She had anticipated that Charlie would pursue her more aggressively.

However, his calm acceptance caught her off guard, leaving her heart fluttering.

Over time, her feelings for Charlie had deepened, and she had come to rely on him.

But as an inexperienced girl, she felt hesitant and anxious about crossing that boundary in their relationship.

If Charlie had been more assertive, she might have given in without hesitation.

Yet, his unexpected tranquility left her puzzled.

She wanted to ask Charlie why he was so indifferent today. Did he not feel the same way about her?

However, the weight of those words felt too heavy to voice, so she buried her thoughts deep inside.

Before long, Charlie’s steady breathing lulled Claire. With a sigh, she slowly drifted off to sleep, carrying a touch of wistfulness in her heart.
