"Rock-a-bye… baby… on the treetop~"
As Lucian carried Ashley in his arms back into the mansion, she kept singing while lightly tapping his side. Her eyes were closed, but with the gentle rhythm she drummed against his shoulder, it almost seemed like she was trying to lull him to sleep instead.
He ignored it, his expression as cold and distant as ever.
Once he reached her room, Lucian quietly approached the bed and placed her down. Just earlier, he had been told she was with her new secretary, but he had no idea how she got hold of alcohol.
"Rock-a-bye…" Her body bounced gently on the soft mattress as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Ashley opened her weary eyes slightly and looked up at him. Her lips curled into a soft giggle as she scooted closer to the edge. Her arms slithered around his waist, making him glance down at her.
"Lu," she called, looking at him. "Lu."
"..."
