Chapter 232: Chapter 233 He is Smiling

Turning to his side, he kissed her again. If she didn’t want to sleep, he would stay with her until the end of time.

...

...

Dawn broke.

The entire villa had already woken up, and the maids had prepared Huangfu Jue’s breakfast early on, as the man was accustomed to rising early and always started his breakfast with a cup of black coffee.

As long as he was there, they had to be ready. As soon as he came downstairs, breakfast would already be prepared on the table, to avoid delaying his precious time.

But today, the coffee had already been remade six times, yet the ever-punctual Duke hadn’t appeared in the dining room.

At the table, little Gan Tang put down her milk cup, her gaze uncertainly turned towards Will standing by.

"Uncle Will, Mummy really is okay, right?"

"This..."

Will hesitated, unsure of what to say, for this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Yesterday, when Gan Yuan was brought back, she had been unconscious.

He knew of Huangfu Jue’s anger; this escape by Gan Yuan had struck a very sensitive nerve in him. It was apparent from his expression at the airport. The man, who was always so rational, had already lost control because of Gan Yuan.

Thinking about how those two equally stubborn characters would be at odds once the woman regained consciousness, Will felt somewhat of a headache coming on.

"Mr. Duke!"

Outside the door, a maid’s voice called out to Huangfu Jue in greeting. Will hurried to meet him and saw Huangfu Jue descending the stairs; he could hardly believe his eyes.

Was that man... really the Duke he knew?

On the stairs, the man wore only a dressing gown and slippers that were only worn in the bedroom; his hair was slightly disheveled... Looking at him, he seemed to have just crawled out of bed.

Of course, it wasn’t to say that he looked disheveled. Quite the contrary, the man who always appeared neatly dressed like a gentleman in front of others, despite some redness in his eyes, seemed even more charming than usual at this moment.

Because he was smiling.

The smile was so faint that it could almost be missed, but because it was so different from his usual demeanor, Will still caught the slight upturn of his lips.

"Prepare a breakfast, and..." Huangfu Jue glanced sideways at Will, "arrange the plane, we’re returning to the country in two and a half hours."

Coming down the stairs, he stopped in front of Will, his brow slightly furrowed in displeasure.

"Didn’t you hear?"

Will snapped back to attention, "Ah... no... I heard, it’s just... Yes, sir!"

Huangfu Jue looked at his assistant who was completely out of sorts, frowned but did not lose his temper.

For the sake of his Yuanyuan, he would let it slide with this fool.

"Uncle Huangfu, good morning!"

The little one had already climbed down from the chair and greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning!" Huangfu Jue immediately turned his face to her, revealing a radiant smile, stepped forward, and reached out to lift the little one from the ground. "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes!" replied the little one, her gaze then nervously turned upstairs, "What about my Mummy?"

"She... hasn’t gotten up yet."

"Can I go up to see her?"

"You can’t."

She hadn’t gotten dressed yet, and her body was covered in his marks. Allowing the little one to go up at this hour was clearly inappropriate.

"Why?" The little one retracted her gaze, her big eyes scrutinizing his face. "Did you get angry at Mummy?"
