The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 268

The evening had fully descended outside, the luminescence of the moon obscured by the heavy cloud cover. Inside their bedroom, a solitary desk lamp filled the room with dim, comforting light.

Eder’s face was turned away from the lamp, positioned so that the backlit surroundings made his features indistinct and enigmatic.

Grace felt the intensity of Eder’s gaze, making her heart flutter. Unwinding herself from his hold, she sat up straight, her small hand delicately tracing his cheek. Her eyes were resolute, sparkling like stars in the dim room.

“I used to believe I could freely let go of my love for you without any reservations. But that time when I almost lost you, I finally came to terms with the truth. 1 love you, Eder. Just like the depth of your love for me, my love for you is just as profound. And no matter how many times you ask me in the future, my answer will always be the same. I love you.”

As their eyes locked, tears welled up in both their eyes.

Eder fought back his tears as he pulled her into a tight embrace, his arms trembling faintly. Hearing Grace confess her love for him stirred up a torrent of emotions inside him. Her words filled a void in his heart, making him feel complete.

Sensing his turmoil. Grace gently patted his back, soothing gestures trying to comfort him.

Their embrace lingered on. It lasted so long that Grace began to think Eder had drifted off to sleep. It was only after a while that he finally let her go.

“It’s late. You should get some rest.”

“Huh?” Grace was momentarily taken aback. It was only half past nine, and he was suggesting they sleep? Was he back just for a hug?

While she was still grappling with her confusion, Eder had already retreated under the covers. His behavior was unusual tonight.

Crawling into bed next to him, Grace nestled in his embrace. She attempted to lighten the mood, her voice playfully suggestive. “We haven’t seen each other in days, and you finally returned tonight.” Don’t you want a massage before bed?”
