He ki*sed her forehead, murmuring, âLetâs get married soon, so you can be this happy every day.

Laura quietly urged Edwin to stop talking.
She fidgeted about going back to bed, but Edwin candidly admitted that if they did, he might not control himself.
He whispered, âIâm not made of stone.

Laura blushed deeply.
She chose not to move, simply lying in his arms.
It was comfortably warm, and the feeling of the diamond ring on her finger brought her a sense of serenity.

Edwin, however, stayed awake, despite being up for nearly a full day.

He turned to Laura.
âMy bedroom has a small guest room.

Laura felt a bit shy, but since Cecilia offered, she didnât want to decline.
She whispered, âSorry for the inconvenience.
â
Cecilia, pretending to put on a stern face, seemed pleased internally.
Mark observed Cecilia, amused yet silent.
