"Here, my lady." The door opened and Dion was the first to go out. He extended his hands toward her with a sweet smile on his face.Â
Abi took the hand forcing a smile on her face too. The last hour was a blur. He told her that it would not happen ever. But she was not sure if he said that he would never have a lover ever or he would never leave her or stop caring about her.
She would be foolish to believe that it was the first. It was already a big promise that he would always care for her, given their marriage was nothing but a contract.
But he did not kiss her after his reply. And it left her waiting and contemplating. And she felt like a fool when he did not lose his alertness even for a second. As if she was the only affected one with his touch and those words.
His other hand settled on her back, his palm splayed possessive as he guided her inside a jewel store.Â
