The dimly lit room gradually quietened down.
Norris Moore cried and cried until she hiccupped and fell asleep in his arms.
Her brow was slightly furrowed, but she still looked quite pleased.
Trenton Smith lowered his eyes and kissed her ice-cold cheek.
He knew that she felt wronged and couldn't accept it.
Yet, without doing this, he felt very insecure.
His nature made him want to obtain her at all costs, instinct made him want to get close to her involuntarily, and he couldn't stand watching her be intimate with other men. Rufus Swallow and her relationship already made him so anxious that he could go crazy. If he didn't let her stay by his side, he might really lock her up for the rest of her life.
This kind of thought was very dangerous.
He couldn't push each other's relationships to such an uncontrolled edge.
Although she didn't want to accept it now, he assured that he would be a good husband and father.
He would never disappoint her again.
