Twas feeling confused, so I didn’t give him an answ
nswer
for the time being
Niko was not in a hurry either, he only showed concern and consideration from outside my safety zone, without overstepping his boundaries.
He just woke up, and I told him not to pay too much attention to me, but he always said okay, yet he knew every detail of my affairs
I thought he was only concerned about the baby in my belly, but later I realized that even in our marriage back then, it wasn’t just me who would be so partiedar, he was the same too
After we got married, I never felt secure, so I did a lot of things that annoyed him.
“I always thought that our beginning wasn’t so glorious. You were with me because of an accident, and there were countless outstanding women out there. I was afraid that after you saw them, you would think that I was just the same…”
Once, I couldn’t help but speak my mind to hims
“Niko, our status was too unequal, and I couldn’t adjust my mindset at that time. So I proposed a divorce, not only because of you, but also because I had my own issues, I don’t want to let myself deteriorate any further.”
Speaking of that incident, Niko only has regrets. “Kayley, I never thought about seeing other women. I have liked you for a long time, but I just never found the opportunity. You thought that day was an accident, but have you ever considered that if I was really drunk, I wouldn’t have been able to..
I widened my eyes and interrupted him, “What do you mean, you weren’t drunk that day?”
Because of this matter, I have always felt guilty.
That day he was drunk, looking like he didn’t recognize anyone, but I was just slightly tipsy, actually very clear–headed.
To be honest, I took advantage of someone’s vulnerability.
But when he said that, the shadow in my heart instantly disappeared. “Niko, if you were awake, why didn’t you say it earlier? I always thought I was
Niko apologized with a smile, “Kayley, back then I was only in my early twenties and didn’t want to be rejected, so I had to resort to that kind of approach to test the waters… But I wouldn’t do that now.”
I couldn’t help but blame him, “If you had bold ne earlier, I wouldn’t have been plagued by inferiority complex, let alone done those foolish things.”
He placed my hand on his heart, “Yeah, I was stupid too. I liked you, but I always acted like I didn’t care, hoping to see you revolving around me… I lew you didn’t like Madeleine, but I thought you were overreacting instead of resolving the conflict with my grandfather. Kayley, I made a lot of mistakes and misunderstood a lot. If it wasn’t for your amnesia, I wouldn’t have known how out of line I was…”
That day, we talked for a long time, discussing all the past events
Unconsciously, I fell asleep.
”
At that time, I was already over six months old, with a round and chubby belly. Niko lifted me up from behind and gently placed me on the big bed.
I woke up and instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, “Thank you.”
I whispered
Niko looked at me intently and suddenly bent down, kissing my lips.
I didn’t speak, I just felt carefully.
I don’t know how long it had been, but he let go of me. My cheeks were a linke warm, and I heard him hoarsely whisper in my ear, “Kayley, can we not get divorced…”
I suddenly burst into laughter.
I thought that, given how engaged
ed he was just now, he would at least make some demands that were in line with the current atmosphere.
I didn’t expect that he just didn’t want to divorce me
Sering me laughing, Niko felt a bit dissatisfied, but he didn’t dare to say it directly. He could only gently scratch me and say, “Stop laughing and answer
my question…”
Igradually stopped laughing, with no expression on my face.
Niko panicked again, “Alright, over mind answering my question, it’s fine the way it
it is now
I understood his panic, sighed softly, and caressed his cheek, “Niko, let me think again, okay?”
Although we have cleared up the misunderstanding between us, it is not an easy task to regain trust in him and start over.

Especially for couples like us who have experienced hardships, although we did not cross the line, those scars remain
Rebuilding trust takes a long time.
I focused on nurturing the fetus, for the sake of the child, I was a bit more tolerant towards Niko.
Because he did really well, especially in these aspects, he hardly made me suffer. Apart from the physical discomfort that is inevitable, he helped me avoid all the pain he could avoid
The child was born quickly, and the days passed quickly.
I still remember the words my elders used to tell me, that having a child would reveal whether the person you tharried was good or evil.
I was also mentally prepared
The present me, mentally, is no longer dependent on anyone. But that doesn’t mean I will reject help from everyone, I just no longer rely on anyone to live.
Niko was a good father, and I was content. However, if he didn’t meet my expectations, I could also leave him decisively.
Sure enough, Niko never disappointed me.
That day, as he put the baby to sleep and turned around to go back to the bedroom, he saw me leaning against the doorway, smiling at him.
Niko walked up to me gently and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much, it’s just that it seemed like I haven’t seen your cold and distant side for a long time.”
Niko breathed a sigh of relief, then found it amusing and pinched my nose. “Those are all dark history now, can we please not mention them again?”
“Why can’t it be mentioned?”
I smiled and dodged him, “But I still prefer the cold and aloof you from before. I’m sure you looked handsome when you had a serious face while changing diapers.”
Niko knew that I was teasing him, and he chased me into the bedroom with a serious face.
When he embraced me tightly, I heard him say, “Kayley, did I pass my assessment?”
I chuckled lightly, “It passed, but there is still a lingering period.”
“How long is the retention period?”
“For a lifetime.”
