299 An Illusionary Peaceful World [3]

"Mhmm~"

Stretching out my arms, I opened my sleepy eyes and looked around with a blurry gaze.

Ah, I slept out on my lawn today.

Well, I couldn't blame myself. I was way too exhausted for it to be comfortable at my age.

Wait, why am I sounding like an old man? I am just 45! Yes, I'm way too handsome and young to be old right now.

Grinning at my own narcissism, I got up from my lawn chair and headed inside the mansion.

The servants bowed their heads as I made my way to the hallway. In the lavishly large and opulent drawing room, I saw a beautiful black-haired girl sitting on a luxurious sofa.

In her slender hands nestled a fictional novel, her shiny emerald eyes fixated on its open pages.

My wife had always liked reading novels but I never understood the appeal. I don't even know how people can read something with no pictures in it.

Sneaking around the sofa, I arrived behind her and hugged her tightly.
