"Karen Joy..." Lionel said.
He grabbed her hands as he kissed her hair, her forehead, and her lips. Whenever he landed a kiss on her, he would call out her name and wait for her to reply.
"Lionel..." she whispered.
Karen Joy felt his passion and his deep love for her. His domineering kiss felt like he wanted to completely conquer her. Simultaneously, it was gentle enough to make her feel like the most precious treasure in the world.
"Lionel, I love you so much!" Karen Joy had always expressed her feelings to him openly. She had loved this man for a long time, so long that her heart ached for him.
After all those years of searching for him, she had finally found him. She must let him know just how much she loved him and wanted to be with him.
"Karen Joy..." Before he planted yet another kiss on her, he said, "Karen Joy, you're mine!"
"Yes, Lionel, I'm yours. I belong to you alone. I'll be yours for the rest of my life."
Her words made his heart feel an upsurge of emotion. "Karen Joy..."
The night had just begun!
Jayden had yet to inform his family about Silvia being his rightful wife. Hence, Silvia lived alone in the detached building in their manor.
Jayden had been by her side in the hospital the past few days. That day, he wasn't around. She couldn't sleep at all as all she had been thinking about was the baby that they lost.
"Dear baby, it was my fault that I didn't take good care of you, not giving you a chance to see the world. Will you blame me for it?" Silvia voiced as she gently touched her abdomen. There should have been a baby there, but she lost it due to her ignorance.
She finally gave in. The tears she withheld for the past few days rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lips and said, "Dear baby, I am sorry. If I could, I would rewind time just so that you could be here with me again, be my child, be our child. I will protect you at all cost this time, and I will not let you suffer anymore."
She meant it, but she was very clear that her baby won't hear everything she just said. She lost her first child.
Hatred flashed in her eyes. She despised herself, she despised her recklessness. God gifted her with a precious child, and she failed to cherish it to the fullest.
Amidst these thoughts, she forcefully slapped herself across the face. It was a lesson for the big mistake she made.
Even though the Kyle family treated people well and didn't blame her, she could not pretend that nothing happened and would have to shamelessly stay by Jayden's side for the rest of her life.
Right then, she heard the turning sound of the doorknob. Silvia knew who it was without thinking. As she peeked from the corner of her eyes, she found Jayden sneaking into her room.
His steps were light as feathers as he probably didn't want to wake her up. He sat down by her side and reached out to caress her forehead as he said, "Silvia..."
