Seeing the sincerity in her expression, Kenneth was caught off guard.
He hadn’t expected Judy to genuinely let go of what happened and even offer to help Wendy.
He studied her quietly, his gaze running over her face, searching for any trace of pretense, but there was none.
Noticing his look, Judy let out a soft laugh. “What’s with that stare? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Kenneth smiled faintly. “I was just thinking… how lucky I am to have met someone like you.”
“Are you serious?” Judy blinked, genuinely surprised.
She hadn’t expected him to say something so earnest. When they first came abroad, she’d realized he wasn’t the kind of man who relied on words.
He expressed himself through what he did—quietly and steadily, without needing to announce it.
Unlike Joseph, whose promises were all talk, Kenneth’s care showed in the way he handled things.
That was what drew her to him. She didn’t need sweet words; she needed someone who acted, someone who could stand beside her without making her carry everything alone.
Today’s confrontation with Wendy had already proven that much.
Kenneth chuckled softly. “Of course I’m serious. Everything I said is true.
“With you by my side, everything I do just seems to go smoother.”
