The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 20

That night after Thanksgiving dinner at his family's place, I was about to go to my room out of habit, but he stopped m I loved sleeping next to him because the way he held me made me feel safe. I hadn't felt that kind of love in so long. I wasn't sure what the reason was behind that kind of change in our relationship, but I was grateful that we were no longer enemies.

""Hi." I smiled widely upon seeing him.

"It's lunch time, workaholic. Get your things and come with me," he said with a smile on his face. I nodded and grabbed my bag, then went with him. He hadn't done that before.

"Where would you like to eat?" he asked me, and I shrugged.

"Anywhere"

"Where did you plan on going?" he wondered.

"There's this cafe right across from the company. It has good sandwiches," I replied.
