Chapter 141: Going to his house.
After snapping out of his trance, still wearing that goofy look, Kai brushed his knuckles gently along her cheek. He loved how her tender skin felt under his touch. "Love, how about I take you somewhere private? Only you and I will be there."
Ren tilted her head, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. "But we have to leave for Alvonia tomorrow..."
"We’ll be back before then," he murmured, a peaceful glint lighting his gaze.
"So, we go wherever you want," she whispered, a soft smile curving her lips as she lifted her hands to hold him.
Kai’s heart swelled. She hadn’t asked where just trusted him. Even after everything, even after his cruel mistakes, she’d forgiven him. And that undid him more than any punishment ever could.
Kai conjured a portal and swept her into his arms. In the blink of an eye, they crossed through and emerged on the other side.
Ren narrowed her eyes against the sudden shift in light. They stood in the heart of a forest, quiet and alive with breathless beauty. Kai gently set her down, and as she turned, her gaze landed on a quaint, secluded cottage nestled among the trees. A small garden stretched beside it, rich with the scent of fresh vegetables and damp earth. Her eyes lit up with wonder. Lanterns hung from wooden beams, their warm glow making the scene feel like something from a forgotten dream.
Her heart fluttered. Her husband’s taste... was utterly captivating.
"Are we going here?" she asked, a voice full of hope.
