Chapter 39 Jayna Accepted Iwan's Love
When Jayna and her fellow students from college had all left the Hilton Hotel by 23:30, Iwan finally came downstairs and hailed a taxi home. But as soon as he arrived at the entrance to his apartment building, he saw Jayna standing beside her car waiting for him.
Iwan knew that Jayna must have a lot of questions to ask him, and he was also planning to show her his identity bit by bit. He went to Jayna and said to her with a smile, "It's windy at night. It's cold. Why not go upstairs? Or you can wait in your car..."
Jayna looked at Iwan with very mixed feelings. Tonight the sudden appearance of Iwan and his slapping of Kali Tenney to defend her had disturbed the peace of her heart somewhat. She had hated Iwan, but now, when years had passed, her feelings about his reappearance were quite mixed.
Looking at Iwan, she took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for what you did tonight."
Iwan froze and looked at Jayna with more mixed feelings, saying, "Jayna, if I say I've fallen in love with you since the time you saved me five years ago, do you believe it?"
Jayna trembled and was silent for a long while before saying, "That is not important. Now the most important thing is to take care of Emily. Iwan, you don't have to do so much for me. I don't need it. I'm Emily's mother, and you're her father, but whether we love each other or not is not important. I told you that you don't have to do the job of taking care of me. You have your own life, and I won't interfere with it..."
After that, Jayna turned and left, and Iwan watched her back. This was a stubborn woman. No matter how much pain she felt, she would choose to bear it herself. But now, in Iwan's eyes, Jayna's back was so soft that she had to be protected...
Then Iwan didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he grabbed her wrist, pulled it hard, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Iwan! What are you doing? Let go of me! Let me go!" Jayna pushed Iwan for dear life in his arms, hoping to break free.
Apparently, her strength was not as great as Iwan's. Holding her tightly, Iwan spoke painfully in her ear, "Sorry, I can't imagine what you've suffered these years, but please believe me. I like you sincerely. I can definitely give you and Emily an intact family, a happy family."
The moment Iwan finished speaking, Jayna stopped struggling, with her tears flooding down, and soundlessly wept in Iwan's arms. She had lived a hard life for five years, but no one knew that she already could no longer endure it a long time ago. Every day she lived like a corpse, without a soul, without strength...
Jayna cried for a long while before she broke free of Iwan's arms, snuffled, and said to him seriously, "Iwan, let me tell you for the last time. You really don't have to look for me. After all, you have your own life! My life has been ruined, and you don't have to ruin your life! You can pursue your love. If I say all these words are from the bottom of my heart, do you believe it?"
Iwan seriously nodded and said, "Yes, I do. And what I've just told you is also from the depths of my heart. I love you. I've loved you since you saved me five years ago, but I've been on the battlefield in the External Regions over the years. I really want to take good care of you and Emily. Jayna, it's been five years. Now we're all adults. Not a word of mine is impulsive. I'm also serious."
Jayna's eyes turned red, staring at Iwan. Back then, when Emily was born, she had wanted to call Iwan numerous times. But she also knew that Iwan was also in a hard time. After all, when she met him, he was seriously wounded and was being hunted. At that time, she didn't dare to call him and ask him to come back. And she lived like that for five years!
Looking at Iwan with hot tears, Jayna said, "Iwan Cliff, do you know what you said means? Iwan Cliff, I have nothing now. You know I'm a silly girl. If you really say that, I'll take it seriously. I'll definitely take it seriously."
Iwan's tears ran down madly. Seeing that Jayna was in such a state, he felt great pain. He nodded hard repetitively, "Iwan, I am serious. I swear. We'll have a wedding next month. I won't marry anyone but you in this life! Only you are my wife!"
Jayna also nodded hard and said to Iwan, "Yes, I believe you. Iwan, I also swear that, in this life, I will be your wife, and I will try to be a good wife."
The two of them fell silent after giving their vows. Jayna's face turned red because only at this moment did she sincerely admit that Iwan was her husband. Iwan knew Jayna was shy, so he didn't say anything. Now he was back, and he would have a lot of time to keep her company in the future.
It was a quiet night. Jayna and Iwan still slept back facing back, with Emily lying between them. But neither of them fell asleep until very late when they were so sleepy.
The next day, when they woke up, they glanced at each other, and Jayna's face turned so red. Although she had admitted she would be Iwan's wife last night, she could not get rid of her embarrassment in a short time.
At breakfast, Jayna brought porridge for Iwan, passed it to him, and said, "Eat as much as you can."
Iwan nodded and smiled, "Okay, you too. You'll go to work in a while. Eat as much as you can. Don't think about saving money at noon. Buy some delicious food for you."
"Yes." Jayna lowered her head to eat her porridge, but her face was slightly red.
