Edwin made his way downstairs and joined Laura in the car.
He glanced at Laura, her eyes still red, and tenderly wiped her tears, smiling softly.
âYou look Like a little rabbit when you cry.
â
Laura turned her face, a hint of embarrassment in her gesture.
Edwin chuckled, rolling down the window to wave at Mark.
As they drove off, Markâs figure shrank in the distance.
Edwin held Lauraâs hand gently, asking in a soft voice, âDo you like it here?â
Laura nodded in response.
Edwin talked about Evans Gardon, his family, and young Olivia.
Then, he spoke softly.
âDad canât manage forever.
In a few years, Iâll need to return to Czanch.
Itâs quieter than Duefron.
Would you be okay with that?â
Laura agreed internally but hesitated to express it openly.
They drove for three hours to another city, stopping for a meal before continuing their journey.
That night, they stayed in Tashkao.
Instead of a luxury hotel, they settled into a quaint guesthouse, surrounded by local eateries.
After checking in, Edwin took Laura out for dinner.
Holding hands like any couple, they enjoyed a leisurely dinner.
Around ten, they returned to their room for a movie.
Laura cuddled against Edwin, drawing closer during the scary scenes.
Edwin responded with a ki*sâ¦
But they restrained themselves.
He whispered, âWe have a long drive tomorrow.
â
Laura felt a warm glow in her heart.
Over the next four days, they leisurely enjoyed their road trip back to Duefron.
Edwin parked under Lauraâs apartment, carrying up their belongings.
The Evans men were known for spoiling their women, so Laura followed him around, her hands empty, as he did all the work.
A neighbor complimented Laura.
âYour boyfriend is very handsome!
Whenâs the wedding?â
Laura smiled, not correcting her.
Edwin, carrying the last small box of homemade sausages, shared some with the neighbor and politely said, âSoon, within the next half year!â
After entering the apartment, Laura slowly closed the door, pondering the idea of marriage.
But as soon as Edwin set down their belongings, his demeanor changed.

Laura found herself pinned against the door, caught in a passionate ki*s.
Her coat fell away, revealing a silk blouse and a fishtail skirt.
Edwin ki*sed her deeply, his voice husky.
âLaura⦠Youâre so beautiful.
â
Lauraâs heart raced, overwhelmed by the sudden intensity.
Edwin, the gentleman of the past few nights, had transformed into a hungry wolf.
Laura was unprepared for this change.
His fingers slipped under her clothes, and after a moment, he whispered, âYou want this too, donât you?â
