Chapter 376 She Was Fully His Now
Riley rested her head naturally against his arm and settled into the coziest spot she could find.
His arms were firm and warm, holding a calming strength that seemed to block out all the chaos of the outside world.
She let out a soft sigh, her voice carrying clearly through the quiet night. “It feels just like a dream.”
Every word came straight from her heart.
The sheer romance and peaceful calm surrounding her felt surreal.

Just one week earlier, she had still been tangled up in all the messy troubles in Havenbrook, treading carefully with every single move she made.
Now she lay safely in a tent atop a wild mountain peak with her newlywed husband. She had no worries weighing on her mind and no tasks to finish, free to simply gaze up at the stars.
Such a huge difference made her feel as if she had stepped into a whole new world.
Before she ever met Lucas, Riley had once held soft hopes for true love.
This quiet moment right here was exactly what she had pictured back then.
It was never about cold deals built on interests, nor empty politeness filled with constant wariness. It was being able to fully relax beside the right person and enjoy peaceful moments side by side.
Sadly, those gentle wishes had slowly faded away amid the busy, harsh realities of life.
Only now did that warm longing return to her life, even more vivid and heartfelt than before.
Sebastian stared up at the same starry sky and replied in a gentle tone, “It sure does.”
This feels like all my deepest dreams have finally come true.
Sebastian turned his head to look at Riley leaning against him.
He could feel her steady breathing and catch the fresh scent of her hair shampoo.

The person who once chatted and matched wits with him in virtual game scenes far across the screen was now his legal wife, whose name stood right beside his on their marriage license, someone he could hold close in his arms.
No other fate in the world could be more wonderful than this.
Sebastian knew the perfect moment had arrived.
Away from all worldly noise, inside this private space that belongs only to the two of us…
Now is the right time to tell her the biggest secret hidden deep in my heart.
Their meeting was never just a random coincidence.
He had known her in another world long before they met.

His heart beat a little faster filled with quiet nervousness.

Seconds ticked by slowly. The only sounds inside the tent were the soft rustle of wind brushing against the fabric and his own steady heartbeat.
The reply he waited for never came.
Confusion crept over Sebastian.
He lowered his gaze gently toward her face.
The girl who had claimed she could not fall asleep at all had now shut her eyes tight. Her breathing was slow and steady, and a sweet smile lingered on her lips.
She had drifted off to sound sleep, leaning on his shoulder, beneath the endless shining stars.
All the words Sebastian had prepared got stuck in his throat instantly.
He stared at her peaceful sleeping face for a few moments, and all his helplessness melted into soft, doting affection.
A faint smile tugged at his lips.
Never mind.
There’s plenty of time ahead of us.
He could always pick a better moment to share this secret later on.
Sebastian adjusted his posture carefully. Then he bent down and pressed a kiss softer than starlight right on her forehead.
He whispered, “Good night, Mrs. Torres.”
Sebastian pulled her even closer into his embrace, holding her warm figure firmly in his arms. Soon, he closed his eyes in total
contentment.
After all, she was fully his now.
When the first glow of dawn lit up the sky, Brandon had already woken up full of energy in his presidential suite.
He had slept extremely well through the whole night.
Brandon stood in front of the mirror and fixed his hairstyle with great care. He even sprayed perfume in an earnest, deliberate manner, picking out a popular woody fragrance known to be deeply charming to women.
Once he finished getting all dressed up, he looked at his handsome reflection in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction.
