"1 year. A year is what I beg of you. Let me show you that I can be the best husband you could ever wish for, a man that would love you with all his heart. A man whose desire is to protect you and shelter you from all the pain you have right now."
Silence filled the room after Lu Chen uttered those words. The little kid slept deeply beside the two people without a care in the world. Only the small sound of the humidifier filled the room.
Xiu Mei fell into a trance as she gazed at Lu Chen's eyes. Those pair of eyes that kept pulling her into him as if she was hypnotized. Her heart pounded so loud that she suspected Lu Chen could hear it with him being so close to her. Her eyes trembled as she felt Lu Chen's hand tighten on her own.
She could read it in his eyes. His anxiousness at this moment. He could almost hear his thoughts, almost begging her to open her mouth and give him a response.
