Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 42

Raising her eyes, Mikayla couldn't see who had been staring at her. She shrugged it off, but her surprise grew when Carlos placed a perfectly peeled shrimp on her plate.

'How does he know everything about me? Mikayla wondered, feeling a bit exposed around Carlos.

"Carlos, you're so nice to Mikayla, Natasha exclaimed, casting an envious glance toward Mikayla.

"Of course he does! Mikayla will be his wife. Who else should he treat well!" Selena remarked, her eyes twinkling with affection for her seemingly clueless daughter. "That's right, a husband should always treat his wife well," Natasha agreed, smiling sweetly.

"Mikayla, what does it feel like to be in love!" Natasha asked as Mikayla pushed her wheelchair toward the studio.

After a moment of thought, Mikayla replied softly, "When he's by your side, it feels like the whole world is beautiful"

"Yes," Mikayla admitted. Whenever Carlos was around, she would feel a deep sense of peace.
