Chapter 35 - Welcoming Ashley Perez

"Celestia?" Adam called out from outside the bathroom, Celestia is currently taking a half bath that evening.

"Wait!" she screams while scrubbing her skin with her favorite vanilla soap. Bubbles are all over her dainty body.

What is the problem anyway? She's been inside for only fifteen minutes and Adam is already calling her.

She's actually enjoying taking a bath at night, it relaxes her mind. When she was still in the palace, the maids knew her routine, she will take a bath at exactly 7:15 in the evening, preparing her tub with roses and vanilla extract.

She moves swiftly, reaching the towel and covering herself after having a nice quick bath.

---

Adam did not wait for Celestia to finish her bath, there's someone knocking on the door. Hard and loud.

He is reading a good book about the traditions, cultures and the current status of Thusha Kingdom, he is feeling amused and delighted at the same time, it is indeed a beautiful small country but what they lack is actually the opportunity for common people, he analyzed the Kingdom's situation, there is definitely something the King can do to make this a more promulgated place.

'Many changes are needed to bring this Kingdom in its full potential, hard but not impossible.' he thought as thousands of ideas entered his mind.

His full attention is focused on it, however, the constant knocking irritated him. At first, he tried to check if his wife is done bathing but certainly, the woman is still enjoying her bath.

Not wanting to disturb her any further, he puts downs the book he is holding and with a sigh, decided to check who's knocking.

He went down to see who dares to disturb him only to find the woman they are waiting for the whole day.

He looks at her for a few seconds before going upstairs again, for him, that woman is not intriguing enough for his attention. He did not even bother to reply when she spoke even though he heard it clearly.

"What a waste of time" he muttered under his breath.

Adam is definitely in a bad mood when he came back in the room but the sight before him made all his annoyance disappear.

He was greeted by a goddess covered only with a towel, his heart is racing at how magnificent his wife looks like, her newly dyed black curly hair, still dripping its water and those skin she's exposing!

"Damn, Celestia," he said, his breathing hot and heavy.

Can his little tigress stop seducing him?

"Shush! Two wrong words, dear, first the cursing, second, Celestia, I'm Eve okay?"

He can't help it! His mind is blown away! He can't think of anything other than the lady in front of him who is putting lotion on her legs. She puts her long hair on her right side, her beautiful neck is showing and tempting the man in front of her.

It's indeed dangerous for his heart to see his wife looking very seductive. As hard as it may be, he turned his head on other directions, his hands, clenched and tiny beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead.

"I will take a bath," he announced. absentmindedly, he really does need one right now!

He can't and will never force Celestia if she doesn't want to do 'it'. He respects her, his heart is stronger than his desires.

'Yeah right, Adam argh' he says as his groin started to hurt. Indeed it's hard to fall in love.

After hearing the bathroom door closed, Celestia secretly chuckled at how Adam acted, he hurriedly went inside the bathroom, flustered. She really loves teasing him now!

She is done putting some lotion and decided to borrow some of Adam's clothes as her comfortable clothes were now in the laundry. She can't believe how time flies, she wonders if her father is okay, her stepmother and her soon to be born child, Stella and of course her maid, she wonders if they are all in good condition and she hopes they are, sincerely.

After some reflecting and reminiscing, she heaves a long sigh, she lies down on the bed, stretching out her hands and looking at the silver ring, it did not cost that much but it is one of the proofs that once upon a time, Adam and she became one. That Adam belonged to her, Celestia Wresea.

Her heart flutters every time she remembers their love story, it feels magical. Love is truly the water that quenches one's heart. It's one of the things that makes life wonderful.

"Who are you?!" Celestia was startled by the sudden shout of a woman, she gets up from the bed in a hurry.

"Uh, I'm Ce-, err, Eve," she said, sitting up straight, they forgot to pack up their things! The guest room is what Ashley uses when she gets here.

'How could you forget that?' she mentally faced slapped her forehead.

"I'm going to remove our things, just wait a few minutes," she said, also glancing at Ashley.

She can't help but compliment the international model, her aura exudes great confidence, her stature perfect and even her style is appealing whereas she, Celestia, is only wearing Adam's plain white t-shirt and her face bare from any makeup. Anyone can easily see the huge difference between the two ladies.

"Yeah, whatever, just be fast" the model then began to scrutinize her newly polished nails, wondering why there are many unknown people in his brother's supposed to be 'secret' lair.

After checking her nails. she sits down on the bed, removing the non-existent dust before finally settling in.

Celestia finds this gesture irritating, 'What is her problem? It's not like I have a disease or whatever'

"Can you also change the bed sheet before leaving? Also, spray some disinfectant"

The nerve of her to say that without adding, "please" or "thank you", she's the first princess of Thusha! Many servants help her bathe, foods were already served before her, even her stepmother and sister never ordered her to do anything.

She inhaled a lot of air, mustering up enough patience before resuming on her tasks, getting out her and Adam's things.

'It looks like Ted's sister and I will not get along' she thought sighing, such a shame.
