Until the door was closed, Eason slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced gently at the doorway and then closed his eyes again, comfortably drifting back to sleep.
By the time Cordelia returned from her morning run, Eason was already up.
She handed Eason the breakfast she bought and asked, "Eason, when did you come back last night?"
"Around three o'clock. I was worried you wouldn't feel comfortable in a different place, so I came back after the social event to check on you. Seeing your door closed, I knew you were sleeping well, so I felt relieved."
As Eason spoke, he sat down at the dining table and enjoyed the breakfast Cordelia brought back.
He enjoyed being with Cordelia like this.
If Cordelia was willing, he thought he could spend his life guarding her.
"You should go back to the master bedroom to sleep. You'll catch a cold on the couch," Cordelia reproached softly.
"I'm used to it."
Eason had gotten used to living alone. When he had time, he would pay attention to details, but if he was busy, he would just make do.
Cordelia thought for a moment and said, "Eason, I won't disturb you for too long. Once Sir Gudwin's condition stabilizes, I will transfer his treatment to Lidio, who is in Grant City."
Eason casually replied, "It's nothing. I'd like you to be here. Actually, I'm tired of being lonely too."
"You should find a girlfriend," Cordelia said.
"Compared to starting a relationship with an unfamiliar woman and gradually getting to know each other, I think taking care of you would be simpler," Eason said with a faint smile.
"I can take care of myself and live well without anyone's help."
Cordelia immediately denied it, afraid that she might have delayed Eason's marriage life.
