Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1160

Darryl had his heart in his mouth. The Empress almost executed him because he played wildly with the Princess earlier.

Now, he even trespassed into her bedroom, he would definitely be sentenced to death if he was found.

'Luckily, it's only the Empress and me here, and the Empress is drunk. If I were to sneak out secretly, the Empress would not notice,’ he thought.

Darryl was about to leave when he saw the Empress stand up unstably with her face flushed as she was drunk. She then walked slowly towards the painting.

'Did she notice me?' he wondered.

Darryl's heart was pounding; he was so

nervous.

"Dear."

He saw the Empress' eyes gazing at the painting as she spoke softly, "It's your birthday today. Do you know that I couldn't sleep on this special day? My mind is full of images of you. Although you passed away just a few months ago, it feels like you've been gone for years. I miss you so much.”

On the painting was a middle-aged man, dressed in dragon robes, looking smart! He was the late emperor of the South Cloud World. He was also the Empress's husband.

A few months ago, an assassin broke into the Palace, assassinated the late emperor, and left. After he was murdered, his wife had taken over the throne and became the Empress.

The late emperor had two wives. One was the incumbent Empress, and the other was the Guang Ping Empress’s sister, Denise. After the South Cloud World Emperor died, Denise returned to the New World as she found it boring to live in the South Cloud World.

Darryl swallowed. He could guess that the person in the painting was the Empress’s husband. At that moment, Darryl was hiding behind the painting. He heard the Empress mumbling to herself.

Darryl was anxious; the Empress stood in front of the painting. When would he be able to leave?

"Dear?” The Empress looked delighted. Her eyes, still blurred, lit up. She could not help but speak gently, "Dear, did you hear me?"

'Dear, you are back! He must have felt my sorrows and returned!' the Empress thought.

She walked over quickly and saw a man standing behind the painting, and her body shivered immediately.

Usually, if she had seen a man in her bedroom, she would have called for the royal guards immediately. However, today was special as it was the late emperor's birthday and she was drunk. Her mind was completely blank. The dim lighting in the room also made her think that Darryl was the spirit of her late husband.

Before Darryl could react, the Empress was shouting with joy as she made a dive for him and hugged him tightly, "Dear! You missed me too, so you're here to see me, right?"

She could not hide her deep emotions. As she spoke, she could not resist pressing her face firmly against Darryl's chest while being extremely gentle.

At that moment, looking at the Empress in his arms and her beautiful figure, Darryl could not help but gasp, especially with the Empress hugging him so tightly. Her captivating scent made Darryl’s head spin and go blank. He got lost in her scent.
