Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 939

"Already calling me old on our first day?" Hayden teased with a smirk.

Keira took a sip of the warm milk and replied playfully, "Oh, then I won't call you that anymore."

"What do you plan to call me, then?" he asked, suddenly leaning closer.

He remained standing, but his gaze locked onto hers. His dark eyes sparkled like starlight, so vivid that even her reflection in them seemed to glow.

Without thinking, Keira tilted her head up and pressed her lips against his.

Hayden froze, momentarily surprised by her boldness. But in the next instant, he placed his hands on the table to steady himself, lowering his body to meet her, making sure she didn't tire herself as she gifted him this kiss.

"Hayden, thank you," Keira said softly after the kiss, voicing the words she hadn't spoken earlier during the ceremony.

"Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for accepting all of me, flaws and all, and loving me so deeply. Thank you for returning to me despite everything we've been through. And thank you for choosing to walk with me for the rest of our lives..." Their story didn't have the best beginning, and the journey had been anything but smooth. Yet they hadn't lost each other along the way. Keira knew that was because of Hayden.
