Chapter 172 Baby Bliss

• Awakening in the warmth of Paul's embrace, I found him still sound asleep. As I delicately shifted, he adjusted to accommodate my new position. The early hours in Ulul greeted us with a sweltering heat, the weather already asserting its presence.
• Contemplating Paul's spoken words from the previous night, I struggled to reconcile them with my understanding. His embrace tightened as he nestled his head into the curve of my neck. The rhythmic sound of his breathing mirrored the smooth cadence of his breaths against my skin.
• For all that life had to offer, why was I given such a daunting task to suffer absurdity? Lost in contemplation, I remained oblivious to Paul's awakening.
