You belong to me, and if anyone dares to try to take you away, I won\u2019t hesitate to defend what\u2019s mine.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary: \u201cMy dear, you sound as if you\u2019re speaking to a child.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity: \u201cWhat would you prefer I say?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary fell silent again.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity wrapped her arms around him, resting her upper body on his chest, and softly said, \u201cHusband, please don\u2019t be upset. I will keep my promise to accompany you in social situations and ensure that no one else can come near you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cHonestly, I feel a lot of pressure. You are such an amazing person, and the reality of our relationship feels so unequal. Many strong women view me as unworthy of you; they look down on me and are always trying to take my place.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cSince we got together, I haven\u2019t encountered a romantic rival, but if I do, they will surely be formidable, and I will do everything in my power to hold on to you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>If Serenity couldn\u2019t keep him, she would simply let go.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary: \u201cAre you thinking that if you can\u2019t keep me, you\u2019d hand me over to someone else?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>As expected of a married couple, Zachary accurately understood his wife\u2019s thoughts.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity internally groaned: Can this guy read minds?<\/div>\n<div>Out loud, she quickly denied, \u201cNo way! My man, I could never let you go. However, if you find someone else you truly like, then there would be no need for a fight. We could part ways and still remain friends.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She cherished the good moments they had shared and didn\u2019t want to become enemies after a divorce.<\/div>\n<div>Thus, if Zachary were to develop feelings for someone outside of their school, like Hank, and believe it to be true love, Serenity would prefer a peaceful separation and support his happiness.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity was capable of living happily without a man; she didn\u2019t need one to find fulfillment.<\/div>\n<div>However, Zachary playfully bit her cheek, causing her a bit of discomfort.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary: \u201cSerenity, my heart is small. I can only pretend to be you. In this life, I will never love another woman. I am happy when I\u2019m with you. Isn\u2019t that fortunate? Marriage is like drinking water; you can tell whether it\u2019s warm or not. Others may think you aren\u2019t good enough for me, but I believe you are.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary paused mid-sentence. After a passionate kiss, he lifted her and carried her back to their room.<\/div>\n<div>It was a night filled with passion.<\/div>\n<div>The following morning.<\/div>\n<div>When Zachary woke up, he instinctively reached for the space beside him, only to find it empty; Serenity had risen before him.<\/div>\n<div>Sitting up, he glanced at the pillow next to him and muttered, \u201cLast night, I was exhausted from shouting and begging for mercy, yet today, she\u2019s up before me. She\u2019s lied to me again.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Throughout the day, both husband and wife busied themselves with their own activities.<\/div>\n<div>He decided to let her be.<\/div>\n<div>On weekends, he typically ensured she had a hearty meal before allowing her to leave.<\/div>\n<div>Sliding out of bed, Zachary intended to open the curtains but noticed an envelope on the bedside table. He picked it up and extracted a piece of paper.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cLove Letter\u201d was written at the top of the page.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity wasn\u2019t skilled at writing love letters; her attempts were usually copied poems.<\/div>\n<div>Regardless of their appropriateness, she believed the poems expressed love, so she compiled a mix of them and presented it to him.<\/div>\n<div>This time, however, the love letter contained no poetry, just the simple line: \u201cZachary, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>It was just one sentence.<\/div>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uf190 \uf15c \uf18e Serenity: \u201cAs long as you keep me entertained, I will proudly declare my ownership of you.
