The light from the window bathed her in a glow, revealing the elegance and grace of her curves with every step.
Kyson was captivated once more.
Kyson? Whats up? Is there something on my face? Drawing closer to the phone, Gwen whispered his name softly a few times.
Jolted back to reality by her voice, Kyson awkwardly cleared his throat, masking his embarrassment.
Gwen, theres something I need to tell you.
I have a wife.
We married secretly six months ago, but its just a one-year contract.
On the other side of the video call, Gwen offered a gentle smile, warming the space between them like a ray of sunshine in midwinter. Her expression instilled a comforting warmth in ones heart.
Kyson, his gaze lowered, ventured cautiously, Would you hold it against me? After all, I wasnt entirely honest with you.
There had been a previous conversation where Gwen asked about his family, and he had denied having a wife.
Gwen, shaking her head with a forgiving air, replied, Im not upset.
We all have aspects of our lives we prefer private.
She paused, reflecting, and then added, Was the lady who arrived in the village in a helicopter and accompanied you back your wife? She was quite striking, wasnt she? Delicate and refined, like a doll.
Gwens words carried no trace of bitterness toward Dulcie.
Instead, she talked with genuine thoughtfulness.
Gwens smile stayed soft and inviting as she tilted her head slightly, saying sweetly, The two of you really do make a wonderful pair.
I can still see the concern in her eyes when she looked at you.
Youre lucky to have such a loving wife, and shes just as fortunate to have your love.
With a laugh, Gwen effortlessly pushed a loose strand of hair back behind her ear.
Her eyes were twinkling with a lively spark that seemed to draw one in.
Noticing that Kysons eyes were still fixed on her, Gwen continued with sincerity, Though our acquaintance has been brief, I genuinely hope your life is filled with people who care deeply for you.
Their conversation flowed smoothly. Gwen appeared to have a keen understanding of Kyson, often anticipating his thoughts and deftly resolving any disputes.
As they talked, the lines of concern on Kysons face eased.
In a veiled manner, he brought up his recent argument with Dulcie.
To his surprise, Gwen commented, Arguing like that wasnt the best approach.
All she was looking for was a clear explanation.
You could have just told her directly.
Kysons smile softened.
What do you think my next step should be?
