Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371
Klaus's house was a single villa with seven to eight guest rooms and three floors. The first floor was for the guests, the second floor for the guest rooms, and the third floor was his personal living area. The moment she came in, she could see a robot busy sweeping the floor.

The decorations for the entire house were simple and cold, just like Klaus's personality. It was so monotonous that there was almost nothing matched with each other.

Also, there were very few pieces of furniture, to a point where one could almost describe the place as 'the lesser the better'.

It was designed so simply that no extra items were left.

The decorations were completely different from Luna's house. As they had many pets and children in the house, it needed to be warm and comforting.

One could probably guess the family's atmosphere just by looking at the decorations.

Her house was warm and lively. After Nathan was put into cryogenic sleep, Hilda needed to be strong all the time by playing the roles of both father and mother so that the children would never feel lacking in life since losing their father. Therefore, the house was decorated to be warm because she considered every aspect for her children.

As for Klaus's house, it was cold and simple.

Meanwhile, Klaus had completely used up his willpower at Luna's house.

Although he was a good drinker, he still couldn't stand the challenge of so many people from her family but he refused to let them underestimate him. Now that he came back home, he was completely drunk so he was starting to stagger.

Luckily, the maid was there to support him.

However, it was difficult for the maid to support him alone, so Luna quickly went over to help. And so, the two of them supported him onto his private elevator and went up to the third floor before entering his bedroom.

His bedroom fit perfectly with the decorations of the entire house, the place was decorated with a cold color scheme of black and white, resembling the minimalist yet luxurious style of Northern Europe.

Klaus couldn't speak ever since he came home and the moment he entered his room, he immediately slept on his bed.

After placing him on his bed, the maid murmured, "I'll go make some broth. Can you please help me take care of Mr. Klaus for a while? I'll be back soon."

Luna nodded as she watched the maid walk out the room hurriedly.

Looking at Klaus on the bed, he seemed to be sleeping soundly and his long eyelashes casted two tiny shadows on his cheeks.

When he was asleep, he lacked his usual aggressive aura. Instead, he looked more like a sleeping elf with soft facial features that had an indescribable beauty.

Luna's face was flushed red while she used all her strength to flip him over so that she could remove his jacket. It was only after covering him up with the comforter that she saw the bracelet on his wrist.

She stretched out her fingers and stroked the three pendants on the bracelet. As she looked closely, she realized that they were three apricot seeds.

However, no one seemed to know where he got these three apricot seeds from.

She remembered that when she was a kid, she was captured by bad guys and Klaus had saved her.

To repay him, she grabbed a few apricots for him to eat.

At that time, it was the only thing she could give him. It was a local specialty that she had gathered from the farm so that she could give them to her family when she returned home, but she saved a few specially for him.

She didn't know whether Klaus ate the apricots or not and she was too embarrassed to ask. As she thought about it now, those apricots were rotten at the time so he wouldn't be able to eat it.

I was so stupid back then.

In her later memories, she also remembered that he would always wear this bracelet on his wrist.

Looking at it closely today, she realized that the three apricot seeds were worn for so long that its corners had been polished down.

Are these three apricot seeds related to the apricots I gave him back then? I've forgotten how many apricots I gave him in the past. Maybe it's not... but what if it is?

Once her assumption came to mind, she could feel her heart beating strangely.

There was a box for jewelry on the bedside table which he probably used to store his bracelet. Therefore, Luna gently lifted Klaus's hand and tried to remove the bracelet from his wrist but suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed her whole hand.

"Klaus!"

Luna's face started to flush as she tried to withdraw her hand but when she pulled her hand back a little, Klaus would immediately tighten his hold around hers, grabbing her hand again.

He seems to be sleeping soundly and his eyes are still closed.

Luna struggled for a moment but it was useless, so she let him be.

His hand was broad and warm, and it seemed to have a faint fragrance of red wine. Klaus then held Luna's hand on the edge of his pillow while sleeping soundly. His thin lips were only a few centimeters away from her tender hand and she could now feel his burning breath with the back of her hand.

A slight movement would seemingly end in him kissing her hand.

She didn't dare to move but his breath seemed to have some sort of strange force that was pulling at her heart strings, causing a tingling feel while her whole body was engulfed by some weird feeling.

Carefully, she removed the bracelet from his wrist and put it inside the box.

Luna was careful not to wake him up but she could only move with one hand, which made her rather clumsy. When closing the box, she accidentally made a loud bang.

Inside the silent room, the loud noise sounded like someone throwing a huge rock into a lake, causing huge waves.

Luna's heart also trembled as she glanced at Klaus instinctively, as if she was afraid that she woke him up.

As soon as she turned her head, she could see that Klaus had opened his eyes silently. His deep green eyes were now staring at her motionlessly and there seemed to be a light burning within.

Yet, he didn't let go of her hand, instead, his grip had become tighter.

"Klaus, you're awake!"

Luna murmured while trying to withdraw her hand but before she could do so, Klaus suddenly got up and carried her up from the side of the bed before placing her on the mattress.

Then, he pressed his whole body against her and gave her a burning kiss, effectively silencing her surprised gasp.

"Klaus."

The sudden shock frightened Luna and she gasped instinctively. However, her voice was immediately swallowed by Klaus's burning kiss.
