But she held my hand back, with a determined look on her face.
"Elijah, can you trust me one more time?
"We have lived together for so many years. In the past, you took care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you, okay?"
I admitted that at that moment, I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart.
After all, she was the person I cherished for so many years. It was not easy to completely let go.
The shield that I had finally built up before collapsed at this moment.
And more importantly, I had promised Charles that I would take good care of his only granddaughter.
"Honey, haven't you wanted to go skiing in Switzerland?
"Why don't we go together? It can be a way to make up for the regret of not having a honeymoon."
I had rushed into marriage with Amelia.
But she had always pushed back the honeymoon trip, saying she didn't feel like going out to play.
Perhaps our dull life of seven years really needed some fresh stimulation and change.
I nodded and agreed.
She smiled and ran back to the house to pack her luggage and make travel plans.
