I will be a good father and a good husband, as long as you don’t mind the age gap.”

He was still handsome.
Mark’s heart felt heavy as he leaned over gently, nuzzling his face against her neck and whispering, “Cecilia, when you were driven away by me back then, my mother was really mad at me. She cried a lot behind my back.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t resist kissing her.
Surrounded by a faint, Lingering fragrance, the trees bore witness to a beloved couple’s passionate kiss under the gentle moonlight.
After some time, he finally stopped kissing her.
