Solstice's Pov
I woke up feeling an arm around my waist, holding me. I turned to the side, seeing how beautiful his face was while he was sleeping. I gently stroked his cheeks with my thumb, staring at his face. Is he really mine now?
I gasped as he suddenly placed his hand over my hand that was caressing his soft cheek. He smiled and leaned in against my palm, feeling the warmth in my small palm.
“Good morning,“ he muttered huskily. He placed some sweet and gentle kisses on my palm. 
 
“Good morning too,“ I responded, watching him kiss my palm. Is he really this sweet? This is a new side of him.
"I'll cook breakfast for you now. What do you want to eat, hm? " He stared into my brown eyes. 
“Uhmm, wait— ahh! Ham then a Scrambled Egg. Pleaseee? “ I asked in a sweet tone.
He agreed, and he sat up. He pulled me up to sit and then pointed at a comb. I got what he meant, so I grabbed the comb and handed it over to him. 
He combed my hair and tucked a few hair strands behind my ear. He gathered up all my hair in his left hand, making sure there were no strands of hair left down, then he tied my hair into a ponytail. 
"My beautiful Solstice," he whispered, giving me butterflies in my tummy.
We both headed down to the kitchen since he was going to make us breakfast. "Do you mind tying the apron?" he asked as he took the apron and approached me.
I watched him wear his apron. I wrapped my arms around his waist, reaching for the tie. I tied it into a ribbon, and after I finished tying, I stepped back.
I looked at him, scanning his well-built figure. I gulped, nervous because he was getting closer to me. He pushed his glasses up and stared intensely at me. 
 
“Ohh, is there something wrong?“ I asked him because he kept staring at me after I tied his apron. 
 
“I love you,“ he said, out of nowhere. My cheeks turned red and I looked away to hide it.
He chuckled and gently patted my head. Gosh, his laugh is melting me. I love his laugh. I turned my head and stared at him, squinting both of my eyes. 
“Where's my I love you too, Mrs. Devlin?“ 
 
I let out a soft laugh and smiled at him, muttering the words, “I love you too,“ to him.
“Good,“ he stated, and he started to make breakfast for us. I watched him while he cooked, and I realized that he had the potential to be a chef. He cooked so well. 
“I remember that you said that you sent something to me. Can I open my email now? “
“Yes you can, go check it while I'm cooking darling, “ he gave me a gentle kissed on the forehead and motioned me to go.
I went to the dining room with a laptop in my arms. I slowly placed it down on the table and opened it. 
I went to my email and saw a file. I clicked on the file, and it revealed a long essay. There was no title, but it was long. 
I stared at the screen reading the first paragraph in his essay.
“Solstice, I want to start first by saying sorry to you. At first, I admitted it, I hated you for marrying me. I talked to you before you decided who you’d marry, and I told you not to choose me, but you did. All I could think of before was to hurt you and make you suffer because of what you had done to me. I wanted to see you suffer before, but now I don’t even want to see you suffer anymore. I’m sorry for treating you like a stranger before. Please forgive me. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m really sorry. I want you to know that I really, really regret it. There are no words to describe how much I regret that I hurt you. I wish I could go back in time and treat you better back then. I’m sorry for everything, Solstice. “
Just I finished reading the first pparagrap. I pressed my lips together and glanced up to stop myself from crying.
I let out a sigh. You're already forgiven, Luan. What's in the past will stay in the past. What's important is that you regret it now.
I'm happy to know that he regretted it. He hurt me so much before, but my love for him was the one that made me strong. I never wanted to give up yet because I was expecting him to realize everything and love me. 
Luan, hurting me was already expected. What should I expect? I took his freedom to date anyone, I caged him in a marriage he didn't want before; and I became selfish.
I looked back to the screen to read the second paragraph.
“While the time passed by that I was with you, I saw how much you tried your best to be a good wife to me. I know how much effort you put into making it up with me. I was shocked to know that you developed feelings for me, but at that time, I was using your feelings to take advantage of hurting you. I know I hurt you too much. I was hurting you emotionally, and I know how much it hurts you. Before, all I could say was you being so desperate to get me, but now I can say that you’re a good wife to me. You’re the best wife anyone could have. “
With this paragraph, it made me smile a little. Even if it's too late for him to realize my effort and love, at least he realized it. I'm glad that he appreciates me now. 
My husband finally knows my worth.
I flinched as I felt a cold hand being placed on my shoulder. I looked up and saw the man who wrote this essay for me. There was a smile plastered on his handsome face. 
 
“Touching you, even just a little bit, can make me warm," he muttered as he took a seat beside me. He placed a plate with a scrambled egg and ham on it, just like what I requested.
“Thank you, I'm still not done reading this. I want you to know that I already forgave you and thank you for making this essay for me. “ I held his hand and looked at him.
He smiled and placed a kiss on my forehead, “thank you for everything Solstice. “
“I'll finish reading this first,“ I said, turning my gaze back to the screen. 
 
“Then I guess I have to feed you, my lady,“ he smiled, holding and raising a spoon with food near my face. 
 
I chuckled and ate the food on the spoon, starting to read the next paragraph.
