Madeleine felt she had a wonderful dream.
In the dream, Howard was just as she had hoped, falling in love with her and cherishing her as if she were a treasured jewel.
The dream was so wonderful that she didn't want to wake up, wishing she could just sleep forever.
But the moment the sunlight hit her eyes, she slowly opened them.
Madeleine raised her hand, subconsciously wanting to rub her eyelids, only to find her arm tightly held by someone. She furrowed her brows in effort and noticed that her legs were being pressed down and a warm hand lay on her abdomen.
She lay in bed, stunned for a full five minutes, before slowly turning her head. The handsome face of Howard gradually came into her view.
