Chapter 217

“Oh.” I breathed out as I blinked up at him, as I started to wonder what it was that made him start to see me in a way like this, I mean, yes, our marriage was an arranged one, but if he hadn’t liked me for myself, then there was no way he’d have been able to be treating me this way only him had been able to treat me in my whole life.
I could feel goosebumps start to bloom on my skin when Luca’s rubbed his palm over my bare arm, as he tugged me towards him into a hug, as he pillowed his head on my hair and kept on stroking my arm, at this moment, the urge to cry had completely deserted me, and in its place, laid lots of overflowing affection and gratitude. I started to wonder how my life would have been if I hadn’t enter out getting married to Luca, I started to wonder just how I’d have been living me life if I had been married off to another older person that wasn’t Luca, I wonder just how I’d have survived being treated in a way that wasn’t this particular way that Luca was treating me in.
And that thought alone made me press myself against him even more while tightening my hold on his suit jacket.
