I hugged her and said, "It's all in the past. Our family is getting better and better now, isn't it?"
I also intended to tell her that she shouldn't impose her values on our daughter and make such demands on a kid because everyone grew up differently.

She paused for a while before saying, "Well, then you should make more money for me to live a better life."
I caressed her head and said, "Of course, I will." I bent my head over her, but when my lips were about to touch hers, she unnaturally turned her face to the side.
My kiss fell on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing my questioning eyes, Rena scratched her hair uneasily.
"Hey, we are no longer a young and passionate couple. Why are you doing this?"
My eyes darkened. Every time I came back late at night, she was reluctant to let me touch her and always said, "It's too late now. I'm too tired."
But her attitude toward me and what happened today made me suspicious.
