Chapter 663: Sleeping Beauty’s Prince
Enna Clark touched the tired shadows underneath his eyes, tightened the corners of her mouth, and swallowed a belly full of words. She obediently pulled him into her arms and watched him close his eyes.
“Enna, I want to hear you speak.”
He didn’t forget to make requests even after closing his eyes.
Enna thought for a moment and asked, “What should I say?”
“Anything, as long as you speak.” He wanted to hear her voice; it was what he had thought about constantly during these five days.
A moment of silence filled the room, followed by Enna’s gentle voice. “Once upon a time, in a happy kingdom, there lived a group of happy people who led content and joyful lives. One day, the Queen Consort of the kingdom gave birth to a daughter, and a witch appeared. The witch cursed the newborn princess, saying that when the princess turned 18, she would be pricked by a spinning needle, and the entire kingdom would fall into a deep sleep with her…”
Damn it, Sleeping Beauty again!
Baron Lawrence initially wanted her to change the story, but for some reason, as he listened to her soothing voice, his tense nerves relaxed, and his closed eyes didn’t want to move. For the past few days, even sleeping pills hadn’t helped him sleep. Now, however, her gentle voice made him feel at ease and eager to sleep.
“Eighteen years later, the princess grew up intelligent, beautiful, diligent, and kind. When she heard the maids talking about a spinning wheel hidden in the palace basement – something she had never seen before – she became very curious. That night, she secretly found the basement without the maids’ knowledge and saw a room full of spinning wheels. Astonished, she stretched out her hand to touch one of them. At that moment, an accident occurred. The spinning needle accidentally pricked the princess’s finger, and the witch’s magic became a reality. The princess and the entire kingdom fell into a deep sleep. Many years later, princes from nearby kingdoms heard of this legend, and one brave and handsome prince decided to break the witch’s curse and save the princess and her people. He traveled through many dangers and finally found the sleeping princess. He kissed her lips, waking her and the sleeping kingdom. From then on, the princess and the prince lived happily ever after.”
After Enna finished telling the story of Sleeping Beauty, she heard the steady breathing of the man beside her. She lifted the corners of her mouth and gazed at the man who had fallen asleep. Her eyes drifted from his tall nose bridge to his rosy, sexy, and kissable thin lips.
She quietly moved closer and lightly kissed his lips.
With just a brief touch, she pulled away.
She too was cursed by a witch when she was 18, but she was luckier than Sleeping Beauty, as she didn’t have to sleep for decades before meeting her prince.
The very night she was cursed, she met a hot-tempered prince who happened to see her and saved her.
From then on, her destiny changed.
Enna secretly clenched her fist, her heart’s resolve becoming even more firm.
Her gaze returned to the man beside her, who still held her tightly even in his sleep. She suddenly felt sleepy. Being pregnant, she was easily tired. She hadn’t slept the night before, and now that she was lying in bed and her heart’s worries had been resolved, Enna smiled and slowly closed her eyes. Soon, she too drifted off to dreamland.
In her dream, there was a faint scent of mint and a comforting feeling…
