My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 189: Missed

Chapter 189: Missed

Asher, after sleeping for a satisfied amount of time, found himself unable to fall asleep again. He was wide awake, excited and also somewhat refreshed as he looked at the baby that’s still sleeping beside him.

"I want to take a closer look."

Asher gritted his teeth, put his energy into both his arms and managed to raise his waist up. Now sitting, he left a big sigh, raising the cloth he was wearing to see the wound that was bothering him.

’It must be big.’

Asher’s face went pale as he stared at the bandage that covered his stomach.

’It might leave a scar...’

Asher sighed and decided to avoid thinking about that as he shouldn’t be concerned about something like that now.

The most important thing is something else.

’My baby...’

Asher tried turning back to see the baby but it hurt when his waist moved.

It was getting annoying and Asher was feeling offended by not being able to do what he wanted.

But he endured the impatience and annoyance as he then laid back down, staring at the baby till his neck hurt and his vision turned black and painful.

’I want to get up. And...hold her.’

Asher felt desperate and blamed himself in his unusual anger with himself before muttering out Felix’s name, wishing for help.

Felix, who was in the living room, just having a lot of thoughts, hurried into the room when Lucas and Karl tried convincing him they didn’t hear anyone calling.

In reality, Asher did actually call but his faint and desperate voice somehow only reached Felix.

Asher felt very relieved when he saw Felix had rushed there in a blinking moment. He really wouldn’t be too happy to call Felix a few more times and wait. He felt very impatient and annoyed.

"Can you help me get up?"

Asher asked and Felix walked closer, giving his hand to Asher who then held onto it and smiled.

"Thank you."

Asher said and stood on his legs with Felix’s support to keep balance.

"Haaa...."

Asher left a groan and hugged Felix, burying his face in the familiar scented body.

"Are you still in pain? Maybe you shouldn’t be getting up at all."

Felix mumbled nervously to which Asher chuckled, looking up at his face.

"Sir Lucas told me it’s okay to walk or get up after six hours. I guess it’s been six hours?"

"...Yeah...It’s already night."

Felix said.

"Night?"

"Mm...It’s around 8pm now."

"We started the surgery close to midday."

"Mm...It ended quite later than Lucas had expected."

"Were you worried?"

Asher asked, his voice low.

"Obviously...yeah."

Felix mumbled.

"Now, you can rest assured."

"...Mmm..."

"Sigh...I want to hold her. But she is sleeping and I don’t want to disturb her."

Asher said as he turned to look at the baby again.

"Maybe we should wait a little longer..."

Felix said in a calm tone as he witnessed Asher frowning.

"But it’s gonna be long. Sir Lucas told me she might sleep a full day too. I feel impatient."

Asher complained to Felix.

"Didn’t you wait almost ten months? Why don’t you wait a little more?"

"...Mmm...then you come here."

Asher suddenly pulled Felix to the bed and rushed him to get on as Felix stared at him hesitantly.

"I want to lay down with you."

Felix was worried a little but in the end, agreed and gave into Asher’s pleading as Felix also really wanted to feel Asher close to him.

It’s been a long since they had a peaceful time together.

They were constantly tired and only had their mind set on the pregnancy.

They didn’t even have time for themselves even though they were always thinking about each other too.

It was a rough time.

But it’s all good now.

Or...a little better now...

But, they definitely will have to sacrifice their time, maybe even more than when they did while Asher was pregnant.

It’s still alright...

It didn’t seem like a big problem.

They would still be together, close to each other anyway.

So a baby wouldn’t distance them apart...

Asher was quite stressed how he might end up making Felix feel abandoned once they get busy with the baby. But actually, Felix would understand. Asher was worrying about everything unnecessarily.

"Just in case you are wondering...you are great."

Asher couldn’t help but chuckle as he heard the nervous voice of Felix.

Why did he say that?

Did he think he was not feeling very good?

But Asher would not lie...

Hearing that did make him feel a little happy, and also a little giddy.

"You are great too, you know."

Asher said, cuddling closer to him.

"I love you."

Following a minute of silence, Felix said again. Asher couldn’t help but look at Felix’s face.

Maybe he got curious...

What did Felix look like saying that? He did not sound nervous, so...

"Haha...I love you too."

Why did Asher expect? Obviously he knew this guy would look redder than a red apple.

The more familiar they had gotten, the more embarrassed and flustered Felix looked when they exchange some affectionate words like that.

It’s somehow surprising he is still feeling shy but in deep, Asher wished Felix would be like this forever...

It feels like they just fell in love.

That feeling made Asher really tingly and giddy inside...

He just liked Felix very much.

Now, even more than ever...

’He sounded confident. So, I guess that’s an improvement. Usually, he would be stuttering, which was also lovely when he does.’

Asher cuddled even closer, breathing in Felix’s neck, then sighing.

"I missed you so much."

Asher said and kissed Felix’s neck, then moving up as their lips finally touched for a long, breathless, hot kiss.

"Ha...Me-e too."

Felix replied, breathless but not wanting to make Asher wait for his opinion.

He missed him too.

Just like Anne did...

They all missed Asher...

Really terribly...
