Chapter 220 Prepared for the Wedding Night

• I felt a little uncomfortable inside, so I turned around on the bed and lay down. I had to do what was necessary to break free from the past, no matter how cruel it might seem. There was no path of return, and even if it existed, I wouldn’t take it.
• Anthony went for a shower. After emerging from the bathroom some time later, he turned off the lights, and I could feel the spot on the mattress beside me sink under his weight. His arms wrapped around me in the dark, and a large hand brought warmth to my belly.
• I pretended to be asleep, not moving a muscle. Every breath I took was filled with the assurance and peace that exuded from Anthony’s presence, and I slowly fell asleep for real. I slept dreamlessly through the night, and I knew it had been a while since I last had such a deep slumber.
