In the private room, Sophie found herself sprawled across Noah's chest, a twist of fate she never anticipated. He had practically delivered himself into her life, a gift she never saw coming.
"Surprised, aren't you?" Noah murmured, his fingers tracing soothing patterns on her back.
"Yeah," Sophie replied, lost in her thoughts yet feeling a profound warmth in her chest. She knew how hectic Noah's life was.
"Noah, you really didn't need to go through all this trouble. I'm perfectly capable of handling things on my own."
"We're newlyweds, after all. We shouldn't be apart," Noah said with a mischievous grin. "Besides, I love surprising you. And the way you just called my name... I want to hear it again." He gently lifted her chin with his hand, coaxing her to repeat it.
"Noah," Sophie whispered once more.
With that, Noah leaned in, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. "And I also love kissing you," he confessed, his voice filled with affection.
Being on a plane made it easy to lose one's breath, so Noah gently released Sophie from their kiss and wrapped her in his arms. "Rest now," he whispered. "Once we land in Mexico, you'll be swamped with things to do."
"What about you?" Sophie asked, turning to face him. "Are you just coming along to keep me company?"
"If only," Noah chuckled. "Collider Scope has so many branches here that even just inspecting them all would take me a week."
In truth, Noah's main reason for coming was to secure insurance for Sophie's legs, which was crucial to him.
"I actually own some property in Mexico," he said with a playful glint in his eye. "If you can come up with a reason to join me there, it would be perfect."
"Things are a bit tricky over at Global Pictures," Sophie admitted, her voice tinged with concern. "Nathan's older sister, Kathy, can be quite devious. We used to get along well, but at the end of the day, she's still Nathan's sister. If he were to ask her, she'd probably throw me under the bus just to boost Amber."
"But you don't seem scared at all," Noah observed, admiration shining in his eyes.
He had complete faith in his strong-willed little wife.
"Because I'm no longer the Sophie who lets others push her around," she replied with a calm confidence. "Plus, I have you by my side now!"
"If we weren't on a flight, I'd kiss you until you were breathless," Noah confessed, struggling to keep his urge in check. Instead, he wrapped her tightly in his arms, savoring the unique scent that surrounded her.
Meanwhile, in the economy section, Amber's assistant was trying to uncover what Sophie was up to in first class. Unfortunately for him, the flight attendant firmly blocked his way, leaving him stuck outside the first-class cabin without a chance to enter.
