Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Chapter 497

Ethan held me tightly and kissed me passionately. Passersby glanced at us and whispered among themselves, but I didn't care anymore.

All I wanted was to embrace the man I loved. Even if the world were coming to an end, I would never let him go.

Ethan and I ran all the way to the courthouse. After a simple ceremony, we received our marriage certificate. Just like that, I became Ethan's wife, and he became the pillar of support for the rest of my life. As we walked out of the courthouse, I clung tightly to him. I felt so happy that I could almost faint.

"Honey, let's go home," I said.

Ethan paused for a moment. Then, he flashed the brightest smile I had ever seen. "Sure, my darling. Let's go home."

After our marriage, Ethan and I grew even closer. He spoiled me almost every day. He treated me like the center of his world and ensured I had everything I wanted.

Wrapped in the warmth of our bliss, I believed our future would be nothing less than perfect.

One night, as we lay in bed, Ethan held me close and whispered softly in my ear, "Evelyn, have you ever thought about having a baby?"
