Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Simple Happiness

All my common sense flew out the window when I was with Emily.

When I woke up, she was gone.

I stepped out of the tent and saw my bike was missing too. Panic set in.

Emily had just learned to ride a bike that day, and she wasn't great at it. It was late, and the road was all downhill. I grabbed another bike and took off after her.

Halfway down, I finally spotted Emily. She had fallen, but luckily, it was just a minor spill.

I went to hug her, but she pushed me away. She looked disappointed in me.

I didn't want her to feel that way. I told her I wanted to marry her, that it wasn't just because we had slept together. But she didn't seem to buy it.

To her, we had only met a few times. How could I convince her I was serious about marrying her?

We were both past the age of fairy tales. Emily couldn't possibly believe in love at first sight. I didn't dare tell her about the past, didn't dare let her know I had been in love with her for years.

So I brought up Martin. His illness and wishes were real; I wasn't lying to Emily. At least it made her believe I was serious. But when it came to expressing love, I was cautious.

Honestly, I didn't even know if my long-standing feelings for Emily were love. I didn't know if the thrill I felt when I saw her was love. At that moment, I was conflicted but serious. I wasn't sure if I could provide her with a sense of security. But if I didn't keep her close, I couldn't rest easy. I hoped to find a balance.

I didn't know what she felt for me, but I hoped she would grow fond of me over time.

Emily asked why it had to be her. I said because she was pure.

There was one more thing I didn't tell her: because she was the one and only Emily.

We got a marriage license, and she moved into my place. Even though we slept in separate rooms, just having her under the same roof made me feel content.

Every night after that, when I drove home, the living room lights were on.

I rolled down the car window and looked at the living room, lost in thought.
