    When Leah woke up in the morning, her entire body was sore.

    She felt like every bone in her body had been taken apart and rearranged.


    She opened her eyes and nced at Ernest lying next to her. His eyes were closed, and his


    handsome face was angled towards Leah. His eyshes were long and thick, and Leah would


    wager that it was better than a woman''s.


    His facial features were very outstanding indeed.


    He had an aquiline nose, and his lips were shaped like a bow. Ernest was very sexy.


    There was some fresh stubble on his chin as well.


    Leah was suddenly stunned by this discovery. Ernest was in his twenties, so obviously he would


    have some facial hair.


    She found herself amusing for being surprised.


    Ernest was maturing into an even more handsome man.


    He was extremely charming, and Leah fell ever the more in love with him.


    She couldn''t help from reaching out and touching his face, from his thick eyebrows to his nose and


    mouth.


    Her fingers had just reached his lips when Ernest opened his mouth and closed it on her fingers.


    "Hey!" Leah cried out in rm.


    Ernest opened his onyx eyes, and they were full of affection as he stared at Leah.


    Leah''s face immediately turned red. "You''re awake?"


    "Yeah." Ernest nodded.


    "When did you wake up?"


    "I woke up as soon as you moved." He held her hand and flopped on top of her right away.


    Leah was astonished, and she eximed, "You want to go again?"


    He nodded and whispered in Leah''s ear. "You''re just so tempting. I could probably hold it in if you


    weren''t with me, but now that you''re here, I don''t want to hold back."


    Leah pouted and sighed. "But we went five roundsst night."


    The morning had barely started, and Ernest wanted to go again.


    Ernest nodded seriously and said, "I wanted to do it seven times, but you must''ve been exhausted


    from the journey, so I just went for five rounds. I''m making up the difference now."


    Leah''s expression was once of absolute shock.


    She was defeated by Ernest''s seemingly endless reserves of stamina.


    In the end, they did it a total of seven times.


    When Leah and Ernest finally got out of bed, the sun was shining high in the sky, pouring its golden


    light into the living room.


    On the sofa, Liam and Maria were snuggling up, it seemed as if they were looking at something


    together.


    Leah and Ernest spotted them as soon as they arrived downstairs.


    "You''re back?" Leah said.


    Maria and Liam looked up at the stairs at the same time.


    Ernest greeted them with a smile. "Liam, Maria, you stood us up. We waited for a long time, you


    know?"


    Maria raised her chin and said, "What is this, Ernest? I didn''te home because I wanted to give


    you guys alone time. You''ve been tortured by us this whole time, and Liam and I just pity you."


    Ernest smiled without saying anything.


    He took Leah''s hand, walked to the sofa, and sat


    down.


    Maria approached Leah and said, "Leah, you must be tired, right? Your dark eye circles are very


    prominent."


    Leah felt rather embarrassed in front of Liam, and she took a deep breath to calm herself.


    In the end, Leah mustered up the courage to look at Maria''s dark eye circles and chuckled. "Guess


    we''re both the same."


    Maria was stunned.


    Leah continued, "Your dark eye circles seem more serious than mine. You haven''t been sleeping


    well, huh?"


    Maria froze as she stared at Leah. Leah wasughing at her!


    "Hell, are you teasing me?" Maria immediately pounced on Leah.


    However, they were stopped by both of their boyfriends.


    Maria was unsessful at pouncing atop of Leah.


    Liam looked at Ernest, who also smiled and said, "Seems like Maria and Leah need some


    supplements. Where''s the butler?"


    "I''m here, Master Ernest." The butler rushed inside and said, "I''ve already prepared some excellent


    supplements for Miss Maria and Miss Winston. Of course, Master Liam and Master Ernest have


    some as well."


    Maria and Leah were shocked at the butler''s words.


    They all turned to look at the butler in unison.


    The butler looked at the four of them with a smile before he said calmly, "What else do you need? If


    you find my preparations unsatisfactory, then please don''t hesitate to tell me what you require. I will


    make extra.


    After all, you all work very hard. Make sure to take care of your bodies. Only then will you be able to


    have healthy children.


    Mr. and Mrs. Jones aren''t in London, so it''s up to me to take care of you guys."


    Ernest''s tone was calm as he looked at the butler, "Since everything is ready, please serve the food.


    We are all hungry."


    The butler nodded and said, "Right away, sir. Master Liam and Miss Maria had just returned, and


    they must be hungry as well. How about the four of you have a meal together? Yesterday''s


    gathering was a bust, and today''s Christmas Day, so I prepared a sumptuous feast for all of you."


    Although the butler was sometimes overconfident in himself, he did quite well today. Hence, Ernest


    did not say anything.


    However, Maria was traumatised by the earlier incident with Grace, so she asked, "Butler, is there


    anything unsavory in the supplements you made for us?"


    The butler gave Maria a strange look and said, "Of course not. It''s not like we can get any of that in


    London. Didn''t I tell you this long ago? Furthermore, I wouldn''t make it if we had any."


    Maria nodded. What the butler said seemed to make sense.


    Maria was relieved that the supplements did not include any animal reproductive organs. She said,


    "As long as the ingredients aren''t too weird, I guess."


    She was nearly traumatised by her aunt previously.


    Liam was also quite affected by the incident, and he was averse to any sort of "supplement".


    Leah was puzzled by Maria and Liam''s reaction, and she whispered to Maria after the butler left.


    "What do you guys mean by ''unsavory stuff? You guys look a little ill too. What''s wrong?"


    Maria was impressed. "Wow, Leah, you actually noticed? Good eye! No wonder you''re awyer."


    "Is there something I should know?" After that, Maria told Leah about Grace''s trick on Gary and


    Liam, and Leah burst intoughter once she heard it.


    She looked at Ernest and thought of the time when she met Heinz and Grace at the airport. She felt


    that Grace was a good person, and she would not y these kinds of tricks.


    Ernestughed as well. Thankfully, Grace spared him from the joke. If Leah was with him, then his


    mother would have tricked him as well.


    Now that he thought about it, he found it quite amusing indeed.


    Liam cleared his throat and said, "I was scared by Aunt Smith. Whenever the topic of supplements


    are brought up, my body seems to reject it immediately."


    "It''s not like we need any of that, right?" Leah looked over at Ernest. "We should just drink more milk


    and have more protein in our diet. That way, we can boost our immune system and be free of any


    traumatizing incidents."


    "That makes sense." Maria nodded and agreed. "Let''s see what the butler serves."


    "Mhmm."


    The butler served up some very normal looking dishes.


    Ernest said, "This is herbed bone broth. It should be fine to drink."


    Liam took a look and said, "I won''t drink it. Who knows what''s in those herbs? It could be really


    disgusting as well."


    Hearing this, Ernest thought of j? ??d ?|???? f?|t sick.
