Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

The family house was quiet and peaceful in the dead of night, its elder inhabitants and the household staff long retired to their beds, unaware of the passionate reunion unfolding in the guest room on the third floor.

Phillip lifted Tina into his arms, carrying her to the bed as he expertly peeled away her clothes, stirring her desires.

Tina didn't resist; instead, she met him with equal fervor.

In that moment, all pretense of decorum was forgotten. Phillip found himself crossing lines he never would have considered before, all for her. Maybe being in his family home made Tina nervous, or perhaps Phillip was purposely being rougher as some sort of punishment.

Either way, the intensity overwhelmed her, her blood boiling with an uncontrollable fervor. She buried her face in the pillow, muffling her involuntary cries. Afterward, Phillip carried her to the shower, then they lay together on the bed covered with pink sheets, his arms encircling her from behind.

"You need time to think, and I'll give you that," he said, his voice gentle yet firm. "Just put off your engagement with Alfred until you've made up your mind."

Tina barely opened her eyes to glance at him before closing them again, emitting a non-committal murmur that held the weight of a promise.

She didn't know when Phillip left; he was there when she fell asleep but gone by morning. She had been recuperating at the Richardsons' for a few days, and her routine had become surprisingly healthy. Glancing at the clock, she noted it was only 7:30 a.m.
