What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 647

Simon didn't push for a deep kiss. After a brief, tender moment, he pulled back and smiled. "Let's go upstairs and take a look. It hasn't changed much."

Her face flushed, Kaia nodded in agreement.

Holding her hand, Simon led her through the main hall and up to the two rooms on the second floor.

One was the small study Kaia used to frequent, lined with classic literature and ancient texts.

As Simon watched Kaia pull a book from the shelf, he suddenly froze.

In that fleeting second, time seemed to rewind, transporting him back to that scorching summer afternoon.

Back then, Kaia had been just a teenager with a low ponytail, leaning quietly against the bookcase, completely engrossed in her reading.

A storm of emotions surged in Simon's chest. Even now, he felt a profound sense of disbelief.

He kept feeling like this was all a beautiful illusion he had conjured up, that such a gentle, lovely Kaia could only exist in his dreams.

Kaia only flipped through a couple of pages before looking up to find Simon staring at her blankly.

She smiled, her lips parting slightly. "What are you looking at?"

Simon's cheeks warmed, and he admitted softly, "I was just wondering if what's happening right now is real, or if I'm dreaming."

Kaia paused in surprise.

Then, she walked over and gave the back of his hand a sharp pinch. "Does it hurt?"

Simon chuckled. "Yeah, it actually does."

"Then it's not a dream. The pain is real," Kaia teased mischievously.

Simon laughed along with her. "I know. But it still feels... surreal. Being back here with you."

Kaia glanced around at the familiar furniture, confirming it was exactly as she remembered.
