Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 78: Cared for....

After all the events in the mall, Davis felt like a boulder had been lifted off his shoulder.

At first, it had been incredibly difficult for him to adjust to the circumstances, but over time, he found himself managing the situation in ways he never expected.

He glanced at Jessica, her head resting gently on the car’s headrest, her eyes closed in peaceful sleep, A wave of emotions welled up in his heart as he watched her.

He was grateful she had come along, grateful for her feisty spirit, and most of all, grateful that she didn’t judge him.

"She must be tired", he mused. Dealing with several psychopaths for his sake is not easy —Risa, the manager and the attendant.It’s quite challenging and he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for her strength.

Worried she might not be comfortable, he slowly titled her to rest on his chest, his arms holding her shoulders.

As though on cue, Jessica adjusted herself to a comfortable position.

Davis held his breath as Jessica instinctively nestled closer against him, her warm breath fanning lightly against his chest.

Her familiar scent wafting into his nostrils, a peaceful calm settling on them. His arm tightened slightly around her, a sense of protectiveness washing over him.

She’s done so much for me... without hesitation, without expecting anything in return. This gesture made him feel a deep warmth in his chest and he made a silent promise to himself.

For the first time in a long while, he didn’t feel like a burden. He didn’t feel ashamed. He felt safe.

Seeing Jessica sleeping deeply, Davis spoke in a low but firm voice.
