The glass walls of the room were draped with curtains, leaving only a beam of light streaming through the glass

ceiling.

| woke up to the sharp glare of the sun, blinking my eyes and meeting Carter's soft, gentle gaze.

Even though we were married, moments like this-waking up to see him beside me-were rare.

He was always so busy, staying up late for work, sometimes leaving before the sun rose,

The past few days, however, he had set his work aside to spend twith me. | cherished these rare, quiet

moments together.

Our eyes met, and his lips brushed my forehead. "Good morning, Chloe," he whispered.

| nuzzled against his neck and said, "Good morning, my love."

Newlyweds, and everything felt sweet; even the air seemed filled with happiness.

After washing up, we still had stto spare.

The sun was shining brightly, and dewdrops hung from the plants in the garden.

The ragdoll cat lazily lay under the porch, licking its paws. The puppy, full of energy, bounded toward us, circling

around my feet.

Zoey's voice drifted in from the hallway. She wore a simple white cotton dress, a fishtail braid in her hair and flat

shoes, exuding an effortless freshness and charm, even without makeup.

| remembered the phone call from last night that had wokenup, and a playful idea formed in my mind.

"Carter, can you take a few photos of Zoey and me?" | asked.

"Sure.

Carter never disappoints and always makessmile.

As soon as | mentioned taking pictures, he pulled out his phone, framing the shot on the screen and making sure

everything was perfect before callingover. He said, "We can do it here; this spot has great light." "Sounds

good, | agreed.

He took several photos of us, then many more of just me, guiding my poses with patience, not showing the

slightest bit of impatience.

| grabbed his phone and handed it to Zoey, who eyes immediately lit up with delight. "This is incredible, Carter!

Do you take pictures for a living? Every angle, every light, it's just perfect. This one-my legs look incredibly long!"

Carter looked uncomfortable at the comment. | knew he wouldn't take pictures for anyone else, and his reaction

madewant to tease him a bit.

"Could it be true? Have you taken photos for others before?"

Carter quickly pulledonto his lap, then flipped through his phone, showinga folder, and | read the labels

one by one: Girl photography 101, the nine essential composition techniques every boyfriend must know. Zoey's

jaw dropped, and she asked tically, "Sis, where did you find a man like this? Can you buy them in bulk? I'm

so jealous!"

| was equally surprised-I hadn't known he had put in so much effort behind the scenes.

My finger continued to swipe down, and a short film popped up.

The topic read, the crash course to being a virtuous boyfriend.

Carter quickly grabbed the phone from my hand, his cars turning bright red. "Ahem, you're done now, right? |

haven't taken pictures for anyone else-only for you. If you still don't believe me, feel free to check my photo

albums." How could there be such a gentle and cute man in the world?

Every night, | always thought he was working seriously while wearing his Bluetooth earphones and staring. at his

phone. Who would have thought that the meticulous, cold man was actually watching the crash course for being

a virtuous boyfriend? | was filled with complicated emotions and whispered in his ear, "Baby, have you mastered

Zoey let out a tic scream, "I can't stand the sickening sweetness of this couple! I'm literally drowning in

envy!"

At that moment, Bill walked in carrying a pot. Hearing Zoey's comment, he quickly asked, "Are you hungry? I've

just made spumpkin grits; letserve you some."

Zoey, no longer as timid as she had been yesterday. She pointed at Carter and me, who were still embracing

each other.

"| can't stand this couple anymore! As someone who's seen it all, | want to fall in love too."

Bill put the pot down and began grabbing bowls from the sterilizer, talking as he worked. "It's simple. | know

many great men around here. What kind of man do you like? | can help set you up." Zoey sighed and said, "But

I'm already married."

"Oh, well, then just get a divorce first. You're still young-don't rush into things. The more you date, the more

experience you'll have. I'll help you find someone great. Don't worry: you'll be fine."

Bill was cager; he didn't want Zoey to get hurt by love again. He was determined to pick out the perfect match

for her this time.

2/4 As for her husband, if she didn't like him, he could be replaced. After all, the Gardners were an influential

family in Zorya, and this was Bill's domain. Sadie had been so arrogant before because of their influence.

country to make things right for his ex-wife and daughter. If Zoey wanted a prince from any

country, he would make it happen overnight.

As long as Zoey was happy, he would give her whatever she wanted-even if it meant finding her a man.

Zoey was stunned, probably wondering if her dad had lost his mind after the divorce. It seemed like the past was

completely gone from his behavior.

Bill had already set the porridge in front of her. He said, "Don't worry about men now, just eat."

"Thanks. Bill," Zoey said, feeling like she was dreaming,

| withdrew my gaze and quietly whispered in his ear, "Pick a few pictures of Zoey that look good and post them

to your social media, only for Harlan to see."

Carter caught my drift immediately, rubbing my nose playfully. "You little troublemaker,"

"Learned from you," | said with a smile. "By the way, Carter, showwhat other treasures you've save?"

As soon as | said that, Carter's expression changed. "Nothing interesting."

"Nothing except the boyfriend tutorials? Did you hide anything else from me?" | teased.

"Chloe, be good. There should be sspace between husband and wife, right?"

"Is that the space for having a boyfriend tutorial?" | joked.

He pulledaway and went straight to have his grits, leavingwondering, was he mad at me?

But honestly, the sman who was so ruthless that he never winked when he chopped somebody's fingers off

was secretly studying relationship tips in private. What a lovely scene.

I would remember it forever.

"Carter, wait for me!" | called out.

Despite his apparent annoyance, he posted a new picture on his social media, but only Harlan and | could

see it

The post was a grid of nine photos. One was of Zoey, and the other eight were of me.

No captions, but | understood the message loud and clear-his love was all over it

In his eyes, his heart, and even his phone, there was only one person: me.

Marrying a man who loves you so deeply-this was what it felt like.

It was amazing.

Soon, Harlan called, "Carter, sendyour location!"

| took Carter's phone and said with a smile. "Mr. Pearson, Janice and | are together. Don't worry, I'll take good

care of her."

"Thanks, but we don't know when we'll be back. Janice and I really like it here. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next

year. You're not alone with the company of your childhood sweetheart, so I'm sure you'll be fine, right?" "Zoey, |

swear, there's nothing betweenand Nina. | only do her a few favors."

| smiled and teased, "Why are you explaining to me? I'm not your wife. Mr. Pearson, | have things to do, so I'll

hang up now. See you later."

"Zoey!"

I hung up, uninterested in dealing with a man who didn't respect Zoey.

Looking at the father-daughter duo laughing together in a distance, my mood was lifted.

After breakfast, we decided to explore the area.

Zoey went to a farm, while Carter and | drove around in an off-road vehicle, stopping to enjoy the sights.

Eventually, we cacross a large lotus field. The landscape here was so diverse, and everything was green

and vibrant at this tof year. Carter parked the car, and | walked toward the lotus pond. An elderly woman

was plucking lotus pods

from the water.

| noticed her silver hair and grew concerned. "Be careful there; do you need my help?"

She looked up atand asked, "Young lady, you're not from around here, are you?"

"Yes, it's quite hot right now. Please, cup; I'll help you."

| took off my shoes and rolled up my pants to help her

She smiled kindly, but when her gaze fell on the stone around my neck, she froze. "Young lady, who gave you

that stone?"

The midday heat was intense, and as | bent down, the stone on my chest swayed, catching her attention

"Do you know this stone?"

Her expression changed drastically. "T-this is
