My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 416:

Carrie’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. Although they often played the loving couple in public, Kristopher rarely spoke so tenderly when it was just the two of them—except, of course, in bed. For a moment, Carrie found herself silently hoping life would continue to unfold so blissfully.
