It was not wrong of you to not want to have a relationship before marriage.”
“The last time of the Cold War, you didn’t want to bow down, and you were not wrong”
“I shouldn’t have intentionally provoked you and made you angry.”
“But Sophia, all of this, is only because I still liked you, you were in my heart.”
Alexander pointed at his tie and showed me the cufflinks on his sleeve
“You see, the things you gave me, I used them every day.”
“Sophia, we talked for two years, not two days or two months.”
“I know you couldn’t bear to let it go, right?”
I was really fed up with his excuses.
I also knew it very well.
He was just too smooth sailing and too high and mighty.
He never got what he wanted.
Never having, gaining, and losing again.
That’s why I was unwilling and stubbornly kept entangling
To say that one likes and cares is somewhat too cheap.
“But I am getting married tomorrow.”
“Alexzander, you also look forward ”
“Sophia”
“You can be stubborn, and you can even get engaged out of spite.”
“But marriage is not a trivial matter, don’t gamble away y
your whole life just because you are angry with me.
I forcefully pushed away his hand, saying, “Alexzander, you were not that important.”
“You were no longer important a long time ago.”
I looked at him seriously for the last time.
“Alexander, I wouldn’t joke about my lifelong matters for someone who is no longer important”
That seemed to be the first time I saw such an expression on Alexzander’s face
He was always aloof, lazy, and relaxed, not caring about anything.
Even though I cried and said goodbye every time.
At most, he merely furrowed his brows and irritably went to smoke.
But now he stood there motionless.
Those eyes, which were always charming and passionate, seemed to have completely fallen silent.
But how long would he be sad or in pain if he was sad or in pain?
I had no more connection with them.
Chapter 17
On the day Darrell and I got married, we went back to our marital home together.
The occurrence of certain things was a natural and logical progression.
The uncles were all in favor of my marriage to Darrell.
And Darrell followed all the procedures carefully and meticulously, adhering to tradition
Because of his concern and care, both uncles went from initial worries and anxieties to eventually feeling reassured and accepting
It was also at that time that I finally found out
After my mother passed away, my father wanted to remarry.
The reason why I inherited the estate so smoothly was also because of Darrell’s support behind me,
Without him, it would have been a great struggle with only two uncles at that time.
The heating in the house was turned on high
When Darrell was blowing my hair.

I don’t know if we were sitting too close or if the heating was
I broke out in a cold sweat on my back, and my face gradually turned red.
“Darrell, can you tell me now, why?”
He turned off the hairdryer and leaned over to whisper in my ear, “I’ll tell you after the wedding night.”
I stared at him in the mirror and said, “After the wedding night, if I wanted to regret it, it would be completely too late,”
“Do you still want to repent?”
“If you couldn’t give me a satisfactory answ
The more I spoke, the quieter my voice became
Darrell had already grabbed me from behind and leaned down to deeply kiss me.

This kiss, unlike the gentle and accommodating ones before, was more than just a fleeting
Incredibly powerful and astonishingly profound.
I felt as if all the oxygen in my body had been sucked away.
My tongue was so numb from being bitten that I could hardly feel it, and my legs were so we that I could barely stand.
Darrell simply lifted me up and placed me on the dressing table,
He parted my legs and brushed aside my disheveled hair by my
When my rare was kissed, my whole body trembled.
There were small particles thur back of the neck, feeling like an electric shock.
But it was held tightly by his warm and large palm, sticking closely
“What do you want, Sophia?”
“Hegret getting married?
“still want to sneak away?”
He kissed me on the most sensitive spot on my neck while he was speaking
I placed both of my hands on his chest, wanting to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide.
In the end, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly swollen ligas.
“Do you
ou remember if I told you that I was afraid of scaring you?
Chapter 17
“Remember…”
I responded ambiguously, but just as I opened my mouth, he took the opportunity to kiss me even deeper
Unable to control himself, he tightly clenched the robe covering his chest, trembling all over.
“When I first saw you, you were only sixteen years old.
At the age of sixteen, my mother was still alive.
I stared at him blankly, and suddenly my eyes turned red.
He held me in his arms and gently stroked my back, one stroke after another.
Back then, you were not yet of legal age, so I could only wait.
“Later on, your mother passed away, and at that time you were not yet eighteen.”
“I remember, I recalled…”
“You also came to my mother’s funeral.”
I lay on his chest, tears streaming down my eyes, “You asked me to take care of myself and not let my crying harm my health. “
“You grew up, and became an adult, but the timing was not right.”
“Sophia, I could only wait.”
Darrell held my face and wiped away the tears from my face, little by little.
It was only then that I remembered that, during those years, my uncle would indeed occasionally mention the idea of arranging blind dates for me.

But at that time, I had just lost my mother and I was still young
There was absolutely no such intention at all.

“Hot seeing how happy you were by his side, I gave up on this idea apalu.”
“For two whole years, Sophia, I had never experienced such apony.”
Barrell lowered his gaze and looked at me.
His fingers caressed my eyebrows and every inch of my face
Until the end, it fell again at the comter of my eyes where tears welled up.

But he couldn’t bring himself to contess those hidden and userable feelings of love to Sophia.
She had come into his dreams countless times.
In his dreams, he had done many excessive things to her.

She was truly and firmly in his arms.

I wanted to pull my hand back, but he held it even tighter.
He lowered himself and his scorching kiss landed on my lips again, “Sophia, don’t cry later.”
“I wouldn’t soften my heart even if you cried.”
But he still softened his heart towards me.
Just like that year at my mother’s funeral
I cried so much that I became a tearful person, and 1 completely softened his heart with my tears.
And now, I just lay under him with red eyes and shed a tear.
He stopped and held me in his arms, comforting me for a long, long time.

But the next day was very short, very short.

I closed my eyes and smiled, reaching out my hand to ask for a hug from him.
He bent down and lifted me up.
“We, Sophia, truly lived up to our name, being both soft and fluffy.”
Do you like it?”
1 looked at him bravely, but then I retreated first and buried my face in his chest.
Darrell held me tightly as we walked steadily towards the bathroom.
It took him a while before he answered.

After all, back then when we were in love, they were all quite polite to me.
Even though I knew, they were not very satisfied with me.
But Darrell’s attitude was somewhat cold.
The two of them looked a little anxious.
