“I hear you.”

How could she not? His words were so gentle yet so strong.

Renee had doubted she could find rest that night.

But the warmth of his embrace brought her a temporary peace, pushing her worries away as she drifted

off to sleep.

Soon, Marcelo felt that the woman he held in his arms was breathing steadily, deeply asleep.

He gently moved back to gaze at the face nestled in his arm, her features as soft as ever, yet now shaded with a touch of vulnerability.

The panic that seized his heart at the sight of her tears was known to him alone.

All he managed to do was awkwardly declare his love for her over and over.

She insisted that she had never felt loved by “them“.

Those “them“, what right did they have to hold a spot in his woman’s heart?

The night passed peacefully.

When Renee woke up, she discovered she was lying against Marcelo’s chest.

His habit of sleeping shirtless revealed his toned chest muscles, making her cheeks warm and her heart beat faster.

“You up? Want to keep sleeping?” Marcelo asked, looking down at her.

Their sleeping patterns didn’t match. Renee liked to sleep late, while Marcelo was up with the dawn. Waking up beside him was something special.

This gentle moment confused Renee at first, but soon filled her with happiness.

“No, I’m good. It’s already eight.” Renee observed, realizing the time.

“Haven’t you gone to work yet?”

“I decided to take today off.”

Renee playfully teased, “Marcelo, it appears you’re frequently taking days off these days.”

“Why have the title of boss if I can’t enjoy a day off now and then?” He moved closer to plant a kiss on her forehead, saying, “Being with my woman matters more to me than work.”

Renee felt a lingering sensation of the kiss on her forehead.

She felt deeply loved at that moment.

Recalling his tender care from the previous night made her smile, and she leaned in for a morning kiss.

Feeling reassured about Renee’s emotional well–being, Marcelo then headed to the office.

But the moment he left, Renee’s face fell.
