Summary
Chapter 0 This was the third year since Arlo had crossed the ocean with you and “married into” Huaguo. It was also the twenty-seventh day in a row that you had come home and fallen straight into bed. Exhausted, you lay on the bed and sank into a heavy sleep. Fear and unease drove Arlo to your bedside, where he quietly gazed at your sleeping face. All at once, his lashes grew damp. He wanted to cry. He wanted to wrap his arms tightly around you, then tell you how wronged he felt after all these days of being neglected by the person he loved. But when he saw the dark shadows beneath your eyes, he chose to hold himself back. “Darling…” Swallowing down his sorrow, Arlo’s broad shoulders trembled in the air.
