Sure, here is the translated text:
Raina couldn’t help but feel very uneasy.
She didn’t feeling, even if she liked Elias Hawthorne, she resisted having someone like him.
But whenever she tried to struggle, there was always a warm hand gently stroking her back, making all her struggles, all her resistance disappear into nothing.
Over time, she fell into a deep sleep.
That night, the dream was beautiful.
As soon as Raina opened her eyes, she sensed something was off.
Her waist was tightly held, and her back felt like it was against a warm furnace, the heat continuously transferring over, causing her back to break out in a sweat.
Raina instinctively turned her head and saw that handsome face right in front of her.
His eyes were closed, long eyelashes resting on his eyelids, like butterflies at rest.
At this moment, Elias Hawthorne, in deep sleep, lost his usual stern and superior demeanor, instead exuding a gentle and warm aura.
Raina was immediately stunned.
She was captivated, unable to help but inch closer to him.
Suddenly, Raina’s motion paused.
She noticed that Elias’s breathing had become irregular.
Looking at Elias who still had his eyes closed, Raina narrowed her eyes slightly, then gave him a hard pinch on the waist.
Elias couldn’t help but gasp, opening his eyes with a confused and innocent expression as he looked at Raina: "Raina, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong in my dream?"
That appearance, like a wronged child, inadvertently stirred feelings of guilt.
Raina got even angrier, raised her hand, and fiercely grabbed Elias’s ear, angrily saying: "Elias Hawthorne, you’re getting bold, how dare you pretend to sleep!"
Elias chuckled: "Raina, you misunderstood, I wasn’t pretending to sleep, I was anticipating your kiss, but unfortunately, my self-control wasn’t enough."
If it weren’t for him losing his breath due to Raina’s closeness, Raina wouldn’t have discovered that he was already awake.
A good morning kiss, he wouldn’t have missed.

Elias glanced at Raina, and said apologetically: "I just wanted to cultivate the ability to remain unmoved in front of you, but it’s really too difficult. Otherwise, Raina, you should overcome it and steal a kiss anytime, I promise not to resist."
Raina: "!!!" Unable to bear it any longer, she roared in anger: "Elias Hawthorne, shut up, say one more word and I’ll rip off your ear!"
Upon hearing this, Elias immediately showed an expectant expression and said: "I’ve heard that in Aetolia, husbands are henpecked, is this how it is?"
Raina was taken aback, only to realize she had been teased.
She was furious, grinding her teeth: "Elias Hawthorne, try saying one more nonsense thing!"
Elias, seeing that it’s enough, said: "It’s all my fault for not speaking properly, Raina, don’t hold it against me."
That coaxing, child-like tone made Raina even more annoyed, yet she found it harder to lash out, and could only sulk. Suddenly, Raina remembered: "Elias Hawthorne, why didn’t you leave? You promised you would!"
"I did promise, but being by your side is too tempting, I couldn’t help but fall asleep. Raina, don’t be mad at me, okay?"
Raina felt that she should have been quiet and kicked him off, saving herself from his nonsense so early in the morning.
Raina thought this way, and also did so.
She lifted her foot and kicked him down: "Hurry and get out!"
Elias, seeing Raina’s embarrassment and anger, didn’t dare provoke her any further, knowing that truly irritating her would ultimately backfire on him.
Elias, with a good temper, said: "I’ll go back for now, I’ll come find you tonight."
