Lauraâs eyes sparkled with joy.
She was more enchanted by the bunny dolls than the lavish gifts on the bed.
Cradling a doll, she looked up at Edwin, concern in her voice.
âHow will we take all these home? Our apartmentâs too small for them.
But I canât leave them behind.
What do we do?â
Edwin, leaning close, offered a solution.
âDonât worry.
The villa is nearly ready.
Iâll have them sent there.
â
Laura felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
She approached the bed and lifted the lid of the box, revealing a wedding dress inside.
Tears formed in her eyes as she realized it was her first creation, the one auctioned off long ago.
Edwin had kept it.
Edwin wrapped his arms around her from behind, his voice low and soothing.
âBack then, I hadnât fallen for you yet.
I bought this dress because it caught my eye.
Letâs save it for our daughter, okay?â he suggested.
Laura, overwhelmed with emotion, nodded in agreement.
In the midst of her joy, Edwin scooped her up and gently laid her on the bed.
âEdwin!â she exclaimed softly.
âArenât we here to celebrate our anniversary?â
With a hint of excitement in his hoarse voice, Edwin began to undress her.
âWeâve just celebrated.
Now, letâs focus on something more important.
â
Laura felt a world of difference from when she first arrived.
Despite Edwinâs eagerness, she was at ease.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering, âBe gentle.
â
Edwin lifted her into his embrace and made her sit on his lap.
Laura harbored mixed feelings about this.
It made her both angry and embarrassed.
Edwin was always aggressive and would even make her watch whenever they were in this position.
Yet, she found herself irresistibly drawn to him.
Later, at three in the afternoon, Edwin gently ki*sed his nearly asleep wife.
âIâm off to the office.
Iâll pick you up later for dinner out,â he murmured, After Lauraâs pregnancy, she grew more reliant on him.
Whenever he tried to leave, she would wrap her arms around his neck and pout playfully.
Without a word, she just clung to him tightly.
Edwin found this endearing.
He embraced her, soothing her with gentle words, before giving her another ki*s, getting dressed, and heading out.
Left alone, Laura cuddled a bunny doll as she drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Edwin, busy with pressing matters, couldnât help but smile in the elevator as he reminisced about their moments together.
At his prime, his every action radiated allure.
