Chapter 114 Special Chapter 1: Spoiled With Love

• Monique rubbed her eyes as she woke up the next morning. When she looked to her side, her husband Jacob was no longer beside her. It seemed he had woken up earlier as usual.
• Nothing had changed. It had been like this for the past five years. When he woke up first in the morning, he wouldn't disturb her. He'd let her sleep, claiming it was so she could rest peacefully. His explanation was always the same, that he didn't want to wake her from her deep slumber. She secretly smiled at that. She lingered in bed for a while before deciding to get up. She walked toward the bathroom inside her room, brushing her teeth and washing her face. Then, as she looked at the wedding ring on her finger, she paused, feeling as if a warm hand had just caressed her heart.
• A year had passed since they had seen each other again, a year since she had listened to his explanation and forgiven him. Because she had felt his sincerity as he explained, she had sensed the pain in his voice. In the five years they had been apart, he had suffered as well. In those five years, he hadn't forgotten her, and he had continued to hope that one day they would meet again.
