"Yes." Gustavo Yates thought: The big screen that the CEO financed for the construction of this school can finally come in handy now.

...

There would always be a light left on at the Nightshade Residence, a detail Mason Nightshade arranged, knowing that Aurelia was afraid of the dark. Ms. Rong heard them return and hurriedly put down her tools to run over, placing slippers on the ground.

"Young Master." Seeing the Young Madam in his arms, with a face that didn’t look well, Ms. Rong couldn’t help feeling concerned.

Could something have happened between these two again?

"Go tidy up the room upstairs, and be gentle, don’t wake Aurelia." Mason instructed in a low voice, casting a glance at Aurelia Shaw as he spoke.

"Okay." Ms. Rong went upstairs with a sense of relief, feeling reassured at the same time.

As long as they’re not having a tiff again.

Ah, with Young Master stuck with such a peculiar mother, and Young Madam’s family in such a state, she’s truly pitiful.

After tidying up the room, Mason was already carrying Aurelia upstairs. He bent down to lay her on the bed, turned off the room light, and turned on a small lamp by the bed. He turned to Ms. Rong and said, "You go rest, you shouldn’t wait up so late in the future, just leave the door open. As you’re getting older, you should take care of yourself and rest more."

"There’s usually not much to do at home, I don’t get too tired. Older folks like me can’t fall asleep too early at night either, it’s fine." Ms. Rong said, "I’ll head down then, you and the Missus rest early."

The door to the room closed.

Mason knelt partially on the floor, slipping off Aurelia’s shoes, then bent to unbutton her top.

At this moment, Aurelia suddenly opened her eyes. Her peach blossom eyes clouded with a bit of haze, she blinked and wrapped her arms around Mason’s neck, pulling him down to give him a loud smack on the cheek.

Mason’s body froze for a moment, then he chuckled softly, his lips curling into a smile, "Why did you suddenly kiss me? Could it be that you were moved by what I did today? If you really were moved, we should remarry soon."

"What are you talking about? Aren’t we already married?" Aurelia blinked confusingly, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes reddened and misted over, "Are you despising me?"

Mason was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized she was sleepwalking again.

"No, how could I despise you? I’ve just been forgetful lately. It’s all my fault, how about biting me to vent a bit?" he said indulgently.

Aurelia opened her mouth and bit his neck, her small teeth brushing against his tanned skin, but she couldn’t bear to really bite down, only nibbling lightly to make her point.

"You must never despise me!" Aurelia pouted, speaking stubbornly.

"Alright, alright, I promise, I’ll never despise you." Mason kissed her cheek, his heart melting into a puddle at her behavior, yet also aching for her.

The shock from today must have been too much for her, leading to her sleepwalking again.

"I’m so scared, I had a terrible dream, dreamt that you didn’t want me anymore, and dad died too, I lost everything, trapped in a small dark room, crying for help every day, calling for you every day, but no one paid attention.

There were rats in there, I was terrified."

Aurelia clung to Mason’s neck, her slender body trembling slightly. Her arms tightened, and her voice trembled with fear as she spoke, her limbs cold, completely lacking any sense of safety.

Mason’s hand on her waist stiffened almost imperceptibly, then the next moment, he pulled her tightly into his arms, his eyes dark with a huge pain, "It won’t happen, it was just a dream, it won’t come true."
