Marina leaned against Daron’s chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. Her own heart fluttered a little, and the didn’t even notice it at first.

She stayed quietly in his arms, and the atmosphere in the car grew quiet all of a sudden. When Daron’s hold on her loosened slightly, she tried to sit up, but he gently pressed her head back down, keeping her close.

“Just rest for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get to the office,” he said.

Marina murmured a soft “mm” in response.

“I haven’t ordered your lunch yet,” she said.

Daron glanced down at her, a teasing smile on his lips. “What, I don’t have hands?”

Marina raised an eyebrow.

She’d always been the one to order lunch for him. Sometimes, when she got too busy and forgot, he’d even nudge her about

1. it.

‘So, was he handless before or something? Marina couldn’t help but think.

But after they got married, he suddenly remembered he had hands.

Or maybe he just wanted to boss her around before.

Marina huffed to herself, then slid her hand under Daron’s suit jacket and gave his waist a sharp pinch.

‘Serves him right for messing with me before, she thought.

Now that they were married, Marina felt a lot bolder.

Daron didn’t dodge her little stunt. Instead, he let out a low chuckle and teased, “Careful, you might hurt your own hand.”

Daron’s waist was nothing but hard muscle, not a trace of fat. Getting a good pinch in was nearly impossible.

If she really tried, her own hand would be the one feeling sore.

Instead of pulling her hand back, Marina hugged Daron’s waist. Being in his arms was just too comfortable, and she started to feel sleepy.

“I’m gonna catch a quick nap. Wake me up when we get to the office,” she murmured.

Daron nodded and replied, “Okay.”

Within two minutes, Marina was fast asleep in his arms.

Daron felt her hand slip off his waist and drop naturally onto the seat.

Worried she might get uncomfortable with her armn left awkwardly behind her, he waited until she was fast asleep, then gently moved her hand to the front and pulled her closer into his embrace.

She curled up in his arms, so sweet and adorable that he couldn’t help but want to dote on her.

But then, when he met Marina at the Grows House, everyone there just loged to ruffle her has

Sometimes they’d get a little too enthusiastic and mess up her hair, but the never minded. Her sende was always facting her eyes twinkling like stars. She really stood out in a crowd.

She was only sixteen back then, still so young. The Finley family never told her do the gement, worried the mig push back if she found out too soon.

Right now, with Marina snuggled up in his arms, Daron suddenly realized Elnora was abochtdy right

He just couldn’t help himself. He wanted to hold Marina close and never let her go

No use denying it. He was completely obsessed with the woman in his arms, both emotionally and physically

But it was clear she didn’t care for him nearly as much.

Whenever he wrapped his arms around her, she’d tense up all of a sudden, like the wanted to resim, but couldn’t graine bring herself to push him away.

She wasn’t really comfortable with being so close to him, especially when it felt like the rest of the world didn’t ext

To her, he was simply the most suitable choice after a failed romance, someone to marry now that she was at the gi

That spot beside her could’ve been filled by him, or just as easily by any other man

Just thinking about it made Daron’s chest tighten painfully. The weight of his feelings for the woman curled was almost suffocating.

Marina seemed to sense something. She shifted, settling into a more comfortable position, and her hand, just moved be him, found its way around his waist again, hugging him tightly.

She burrowed into his embrace, her eyes blinking open in a sleepy haze as she looked up at him

Daron glanced down at her, his voice low. “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?”

Marina shook her head, mumbling softly, “It’s nothing”

“This is nice, she thought to herself.

Daron leaned down and brushed a gentle kiss against her lips. In a soft voice, he said. “Go back to deep. There’s a bit traffic, so it’ll probably be another forty minutes before we get to the office.

Marina murmured a soft “mm” and snuggled in closer, finding a cozy spot.

Daron held her close, gazing down as her breathing grew steady and her face softened into a look of pure peace. The glo

that had weighed on him just melted away,

Right now, he was the man at her side.

That was something no one could take away,

By the time they pulled up to the Zamora Group, it had been about an hour.

Marina opened her eyes and saw the Zamora Group’s office building right there, practically within reach.

She sat up from Daron’s arms and stretched a little.

Daron kept his arm around her waist.

Marina glanced out the window and said calmly, “Why is the traffic so bad?”

Traffic shouldn’t be this bad right now.

Daron frowned, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

The driver said quietly, “Looks like someone’s blocking the entrance to the company.”

Daron furrowed his brows.

Just then, Marina’s phone rang.

She saw it was Chloe calling and answered right away.

“Ms. Finley, where are you and Mr. Zamora right now?” Chloe asked.
