Chapter 51 Stubble And Memories

• Monique's lips curved into a smile as she opened her eyes and found her husband's handsome face soundly asleep beside her. Being the first one to wake up that morning gave her the chance to admire him. Even in slumber, he looked dashing. From his thick eyebrows to his aquiline nose and rosy lips. Her gaze lingered on his jaw, noticing a hint of stubble. And as she stared, she could almost see Jacob.
• That stubble on his jaw reminded her of Jacob. She had learned from Joshua that when Jacob was in the US, he would intentionally grow some stubble so that he wouldn't be mistaken for Joshua. After all, the twins were practically indistinguishable unless you knew them very well.
• Monique shook her head slightly to clear her mind. She lay there for a while, just looking at her husband before deciding to get up. She also opted not to wake him up; he seemed to be enjoying a peaceful sleep. It appeared that he had a hangover from last night's drinking, given that he was still asleep. Usually, he would be awake by now and busy preparing breakfast for them.
