We are both crying in each other's arms, my heart is breaking for him and I can't even imagine what he went through. How can someone be so cruel and treat someone so brutally? Having Jeon in someone's life is like having the sweetest and most caring person.
" She didn't deserve to be called Mother, baby. You are a sweetheart and she was lucky that you were born through her womb. Anyone can be lucky to have you in their life." What I am saying is true and I will never hesitate to show him that.
" When I got discharged from the hospital, I changed myself. Before I wanted my mother's love and attention but after seeing her true colors I promised myself that I will never give her the power to hurt me." We are still hugging each other and Jeon's sobs stopped but he is sniffing. I can only imagine how hard it was for him to change and survive with the truth that his mother doesn't care about him.
" I wish I was there with you Jeon, to hold your hand and to let you know that you are more than enough." He removed himself from me to look at my face with surprise and doubt like he is not believing anything I am saying.
" What? You don't believe me?" I asked, raising my brows in question to which he just bowed his head down.
"  You are kind, passionate, empathetic and most importantly you know how to love a broken human being and make her believe she is more than enough and can trust another human being without any doubts."  Before Jeon, I hated hearing the word love and never imagined falling in love with him. If someone else was in his place and got me pregnant then I wouldn't have fallen in love with him but would have a co-parent.
" You don't know how rare you are, baby! No one can easily get Jeon like me." I booped his nose with a big grin. He has tears in his eyes and watching me like I was the only person that ever said these words to him. He deserves to know how precious he is and how lucky one can get to have him in their life.
" No one told me any of it and I was so scared at the start when we met because what if you think that I am not good enough for you? Or I don't deserve you? I still think that I don't deserve you and any of the happiness or the good things in my life." I placed my finger on his lips stopping him from uttering words that were not true.
" Shh! I don't want to hear another word that is not true and if you don't believe me then wait for our daughter to come out and let her show you how perfect you are." I cupped his face in my hands and pulled him towards me. Our lips met and the familiar tingles started spreading all over my body making me sigh in utter bliss. I'll never get enough of his kiss and taste. His kisses are like he is kissing my soul.
Our kiss ended when we both were craving to get some air in our lungs but our foreheads are still attached and we are panting.
" Ha-ri, Mr & Mrs. Park were the only people who were with me throughout my struggles and success. They pushed me to do better and encouraged me when I was low. If they wouldn't have been in my life then I'll never imagine what my life would have been. I am grateful to them and I will always show my gratitude to them." Respect and love for them increased by hearing how they were with Jeon and helped him and made him a better man.
" I will show my gratitude too to them as they were with you Jeon and happy that they helped you become this strong and beautiful man." He hugged me tight and instantly my arms surrounded him. Everything with him feels natural and right.
" Did I ever tell you how much I love you!" He asked cupping my cheeks and I nodded my head at him with a big smile on my lips. He always showed me with his actions and words how much he loves me.
" Maybe I will always fail to tell you how much I love you but words and actions can't be enough to show you how much love I have for you and if you permit me to show the love I have for you then I will for the rest of our lives." He stopped, and the silent room filled with my surprised gasp. Don't tell me what I am thinking is true!
Tears started falling down my eyes making my vision blur. Jeon's eyes are also filled with tears but he has a happy and relieved smile on his beautiful lips.
" W…What do you M..mean?" I choked out, trying to stop myself from being a sobbing mess. He chuckled at my question and kneeled in front of me holding my hands in his and rubbing his thumbs on the back of my hands to calm me down but seeing him on his knees is not helping me to make myself calm.
" What I mean is, Do I have permission to show you how much I love you for the rest of our lives as a husband to you?" A choked sob broke out from my throat, is this really happening? I have never thought of marriage again, not after being cheated on and betrayed by my ex-husband. Well, I never thought to fall in love again but here I am falling in love with a sweet, pure, and fantastic man who knows my worth.
" You are not kidding? Right!" I still asked, wanting to make sure that what I heard was right and that I am not imagining things.
" If it helps you then let me ask you again, Miss Enya Bailey Francis! Will you give me the honor of marrying you?" Every emotion I was holding up inside broke its barricades and I collapsed in Jeon's arms sobbing my heart out and repeatedly saying "Yes".
" Yes! I will!" Our lips met in a passionate kiss and we were devouring each other like it was our first time kissing and it felt 1000 times better than our first kiss which was my best kiss.
We pulled back reluctantly and Jeon wiped my tears and placed a sweet tender kiss on my forehead making me all giddy with love. I never thought I will ever be giddy and shy.
" Come let's get you to the bed, I know you are tired." He pulled me up and his hands surrounded my waist leading me towards our bedroom.
" Y…yeah! I will just doze off standing." I yawned, Jeon, laughing at my joke and ticking me in the bed. He turned around to leave but I held his wrist stopping him.
" Where are you going?" I asked, my eyes are half closed and I am fighting to stay awake.
" I will be back in a minute." Jeon rubbed my hand with a smile and I just hummed in response, his hand slipped away from mine.
My mind was still awake till I felt jeon's body beside me and him taking me in his arms and kissing my forehead. Without him being in bed feeling like I am missing something and it will take time to sleep but when he is beside me I'll be out in minutes.
With his familiar scent and warmth surrounding me, I slipped into the most relaxed sleep I have gotten recently.
