Chapter 963 My Beautiful Monster Part 64

SUMIRE

Sumire felt a cool hand on her forehead and weakly turned to see Toh. Toh's gaze lands on the music player and she immediately panics as she tries to hide it. Toh shakes his head.

"I was the one who asked your ladies maid to give you that. I'm glad you like my gift beautiful."

Toh was the one who gave Renna this? She clutched it tighter and a flash of pain flashes through Toh's eyes as he places her down on the bed.

"I came here for the meeting, but I wanted to check on you first." He trails off. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"This happens, when I get any memories back. I shall be fine soon."

Toh paused. "What did you remember? You can tell me beautiful."

Sumire didn't have to look into his eyes to know that he was telling the truth. From the moment she met this person, he has never hidden anything from her. He was always so honest and straight forward. Even after their break up they remained good friends, and she still feels the same safety and comfort in his presence that she did since the first day they met.

The moment she started speaking, all the words flowed out. Everything she had been hiding until the recent memory.

Toh only interrupted to ask a few questions, otherwise he listened to her patiently. Amid all this he was holding her hand and stroking each finger. There was something soothing about this gesture.

Sumire takes a look at his expression to see a gentle look in his eyes.

Thump.

Thump.

"Is this," Toh points to their intertwined hands. "-making you nervous beautiful?"

"A little?" Sumire mumbled.

Toh chuckles. "If you ever want a secret rendezvous from your husband. I'd be more than willing to be your partner."

Sumire frowns. He can't mean that. After all Toh is the loyal type. He would never encourage having an affair.

"A-anyhow-" Sumire coughs and shifts her attention away from Toh. "Lucifer told me about our past lives together. He mentioned how we were together for five lifetimes."

Toh suddenly mumbles something quietly but she overhears him.

'So that's the reason why he was so confident.'

"If supernatural powers exist, it isn't a stretch to talk about past lives right?" Sumire asked.

Toh nodded. "That's true, but it's not a topic that is often brought up even amongst evolved humans and hanyous."

"I suppose that's why Lucifer hesitated telling me. The connection between Lucifer and me, I can't deny it because I do feel something strong. However, it bothers me that I only remember fragments. In contrast, with Yi/Sora, I have been able to recall entire memories." Sumire bit her bottom lip. "That's wrong isn't it?"

Lucifer is her husband, he is the one who has been by her side for five lifetimes. But, she can't remember their time together properly. No matter how much she tries.

Toh squeezes her hands. "Why don't you to take a nap beautiful? Your clearly exhausted."

'He-he's avoiding answering? It's not like him, and yet if Toh is doing this. There must be a reason.'

Sumire slowly nods. "Will you stay here until I go to sleep?"

Toh nods and caresses her hair as he said words she didn't understand. If she had her memories, perhaps the words he said to her would make more sense. But there is no doubt that whatever he is telling her makes her feel wanted and loved.

She closes her eyes, and for the first time in so long. She didn't dream of anything, except the warmth of Toh's hand.

LUCIFER

While she has learned more about what her past self may have liked. She finds herself visiting the library without fail. So, it did not take him long to find his wife in the library. The outcome from the meeting he was returning from bothered him. He doesn't want to be away from his wife anymore. Unfortunately it seems his so called allies are causing more and more problems for him.

It seems he will have to arrange a meeting with Hiriji soon. Nagawa Mira and Suigetsu are causing far too many issues just because he hasn't been around as much.

He watches her for a few minutes. Seeing her struggling to reach a book, he ends his staring and walks over.

Lucifer reached over and pulled the book from the shelf for her.

"Oh!" Sumire said surprised.

"Is this the one?"

Sumire nodded, clutching the book he just passed to her chest. Seeing her desperately trying to hide the title he chuckles. It must be another spicy romance book. She becomes very bashful when she reads those. He once peeked at the contents of one of the books she left on the nightstand, and was scandlized by the contents.

Of course when she caught him with the book, she showed him such a lovely expression.

"You're done?" Sumire asked.

"Taking a break. I heard you were here." Lucifer trails off seeing her staring at him intently. "What is it?"

"Can I hug you?"

"Of course."

Sumire placed the book down on her cart and rushed to his arms. Lucifer sighed in content. He never knew someone could fit so perfectly in his arms until he met her.

"You've been so kind lately."

"Was I not kind before?"

"You were, but its different now." Sumire snuggled into his hold. "Or maybe it's me."

"Perhaps, your just more comfortable with me now."

"Mmm, I can't deny that."

Lucifer chuckles. "Come with me, let's move to a more comfortable location."

Sumire takes his hand and Lucifer leads her to a quiet spot in the library. He re-arranges a few of the books and the bookshelf moved. Sumire peeks into the space, her eyes widened seeing the large bed with a curtain draped over it.

"You have a bed in the library?" Sumire said surprised.

"It's another place to rest."

Sumire looked around cautiously. "Did you take anyone else here?"

Lucifer raised his eyebrow. "Like who?"

"Your mistress?"

"No. I told you, there is nobody like that."

Sumire laughed. "Mmm, okay."

Lucifer felt his heart beat skip several times seeing that bright smile on her face. She truly must be getting comfortable with him, if she is pulling such unguarded expressions like that.
