Michael looked at me expressionlessly while I looked at him in anxiety as I waited for his reply. “The child is half the reason.” Although his tone was composed, his answer wasn’t what I had expected. I gave him a puzzled look as I had assumed he canceled the wedding entirely because of the child.

“What’s the other half then?” I looked him in the eye, feeling nervous yet somewhat hopeful. “You!” Michael replied in an indifferent tone. Nevertheless, I was ecstatic to learn that he had married me partly because of his feelings for me.

My eyes sparkled, and my heart was overwhelmed with bliss. It was just that I didn’t know how to express it. “Michael, I—” It took me a long while to calm down. Looking at Michael’s face, I was about to say something when he leaned in and locked his lips with mine.

The moment our lips touched, it felt as if I was being electrocuted. My mind turned blank, and I forgot what I had wanted to say. As Michael’s scent filled my senses, I felt a sense of security that never existed before.
