The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 550

Later.

Later, Ferris made me cry again. That night, the room was filled with my soft, breathless sobs and Ferris's gentle coaxing. "Be good, call me your husband, arch your back a little more..."

I didn't know when I finally fell asleep. Accurately speaking, Ferris had completely exhausted me, and I passed out from sheer fatigue.

When I woke up the next day, my eyes were heavy. Faint, red marks of passion trailed across my neck and collarbone. I pursed my lips, dabbing concealer in front of the mirror, but Ferris wrapped his arms around me from behind.

He pulled me flush against him, his cheek resting against mine. His voice was laced with teasing affection. "You don't need makeup. I think my Selena looks much cuter like this."

"My eyes are heavy, I look like a rabbit. How is that cute?" I murmured. Surrounded by his embrace, my senses were filled with his signature pine scent. Through my thin nightgown, his body heat seared into my bare back. My mind instantly flashed to what had happened last night. My cheeks burned hot, and I lowered my head, my voice dropping to a whisper.

Ferris simply pulled me tighter, his fingers hooking under my chin to force me to look at our reflection in the mirror.

He smiled like a sly fox who had just gotten his way. "I love my shy, sweet Little Rabbit. Even with heavy eyes, my Selena is the most adorable, captivating Little Rabbit in the world."

In the mirror, my complexion was thoroughly flushed. But looking at the reflection, I really did see a beautiful, vibrant version of myself.

Because I was deeply satisfied and genuinely happy. It felt as though, from that moment on, my happily-ever-after had truly begun. I finally started to open up, showing him the real, relaxed me.
