1 glanced around cautiously and reached out to pull Rachel close to me. 

“Anyone there?” Rachel whispered, her gaze fixed on the alley. 

I shook my head and focused on the figure not far down the alley. 

Sensing our gaze, the figure swiftly disappeared.

Glancing at Steven, I noticed the lingering hostility in his eyes as he stood in the dim alley, resembling Satan emerging from hell. 

I cautiously called out, “Hey, Steve?” 

He turned to look at me. 

I could see the hostility in his eyes fading away quickly, replaced by an innocent look as he said, ” Stephie, I feel dizzy.” 

Then he collapsed onto me. His towering six–foot frame sprawled over mine. 

I barely had a chance to resist. I could only let him rest on me.

“Indeed, he is my husband, and well…it’s complicated.” I rubbed my temples and pondered how to explain to her. 

I woke up and realized I was suddenly married? And now I was carrying our child? 

As for whether he can handle it… “He’s pretty normal, just has his occasional moments.” 

Rachel looked curious. She leaned closer. “Really? I thought he’s just a pretty face, you know? God gave him looks but skimped on brains. ”
