Chapter 71 Healing Embrace

• The next morning, Monique woke up to the sight of her husband's face. He was awake, and she noticed that he had been watching her. She couldn't tell if he had been awake for a while or if he hadn't slept at all. His eyes appeared deep and restless.
• "Morning, babe," he greeted her.
• She briefly nibbled her lower lip and then raised a hand to gently touch the area around his eyes. "Did you sleep?" she asked in a hushed voice. "Your eyes look tired," she remarked, noticing the exhaustion in his gaze.
