The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 812

It made me feel incredibly safe.

A deep sense of security that only seemed to grow.

Along with a blooming warmth and happiness.

The connection between Ferris and me was deepening by the day, our hearts pulling closer and closer together.

I couldn't help but think that it felt like we had returned to the past. During our first year of marriage, Ferris had been just like this—always clinging to me, spoiling me, teasing me. We had been so blissfully happy then.

I used to believe those sweet days were gone forever, convinced that Ferris and I would completely drift apart until there was nothing left.

Who could have guessed that we would find our way back to each other, reuniting and experiencing that same intoxicating joy once again?

The happiness surrounding me almost felt surreal, like I was living in a beautiful dream.

Surely, I could only be this happy in a dream, right?

I hugged Ferris tightly, as if holding on to the dream itself.

Even if it was a dream, I was willing to accept it. I just wanted to turn it into reality, and if that wasn't possible, I prayed the dream would last a little longer—just a bit longer.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly hugging our family of three so tightly?" Ferris ruffled my hair, asking gently.

A family of three.

I almost forgot. I had a baby growing inside me. As I pressed myself firmly against Ferris, our baby was right there between us.

It really was a family of three.

A complete and happy family.

Just like my parents and me when I was little—a whole, perfect family of three.

"I'm just so happy, I'm scared it's all a dream," I murmured, holding him closer and closing my eyes.

"How could it be a dream? We're going to be together forever. Our little family, together forever." Ferris wrapped his arms tightly around me, his large hand gently stroking my back.

His touch soothed my racing heart, making me feel more grounded and secure than ever.
