Chapter 126: Promise Is A Promise
Immediately, the spoon slipped from her fingers, clattering onto the plate. Zylan lifted his head, his eyes widening slightly at her shocked expression. He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction, but if only he knew—Naomi was even more surprised than he was. She hadn’t anticipated those words coming from him.
Could this mean he finally trusted her?
From the moment she arrived, she had been strictly forbidden to enter Zylan’s room. At first, she hadn’t cared—she had her own escape plans. She assumed it was because they weren’t officially married yet and that once they were, the room would no longer be off-limits. But even after their wedding, Zylan showed no intention of letting her in.
She vividly recalled the time he had left. When she tried to approach the door, the look on Rylan’s face alone told her there was something inside they didn’t want her to see.
And now, out of nowhere, Zylan wanted to show her his room.
Her heart pounded in her chest, a mixture of excitement and confusion swirling within her. She didn’t know how to feel. A part of her wanted to believe it was a sign of his trust, that after everything, he was finally opening up to her. But the other part of her hesitated, What if he changes
It felt like she was holding her breath, waiting for him to change his mind. But to her surprise, he didn’t. He remained silent, his gaze steady, unwavering.
This was Zylan speaking. When he said something, it meant he had already thought it through. Still, she hesitated, her voice uncertain. "Are you sure about this?" She needed him to confirm it once more, even though deep down, she already knew the answer. Wasn’t this exactly what she wanted? So why was she still asking?
Zylan’s gaze didn’t waver. He simply nodded, his expression unreadable.
"Yes, I am, wife."
Her stomach fluttered at the word. His voice, so firm, yet gentle, carried a weight of sincerity that she couldn’t ignore. Naomi nodded back, unsure of what was to come, but feeling an undeniable pull toward him.
