Chapter 930 - Feels Different (1/2)

Iris and Jin Liwei already laid out a plan on how to officially announce their marriage to the public. Everything had been arranged. For now, however, the two of them wanted to enjoy their honeymoon first without any unnecessary interruption.

As for her pregnancy, the official announcement would need to wait longer, perhaps when she reached her second or even third trimester. Or maybe, they would only announce it after she had given birth. Even they weren't sure yet.

Jin Liwei, the proud husband and father-to-be, wanted to announce everything to the whole world but had to restrain himself because his wife had become easily stressed ever since getting pregnant. Although Iris usually didn't give a whit about public opinion regarding herself, her pregnancy hormones made her more sensitive to other people's comments about her worthiness as a mother. This was further exacerbated by her remaining fear of becoming a mother.

Before learning about his wife's real identity in her past life as a member of the infamous Vetrov family, Jin Liwei didn't fully understand this fear of hers. But after learning how cruel her mother Madam Vetrova was in treating her own children, he could now somehow understand where his wife's fear of becoming a mother stemmed from. Even Nikolai confirmed that Evelina and their mother never truly got along with each other.

Just imagining what kind of horrors his wife went through in her past life was enough to make him furious. He vowed to never let her experience that kind of abuse ever again because that was what it was no matter how much his wife and brother-in-law tried to gloss it over as training—abuse, plain and simple.

His thoughts were interrupted by the caretaker who started giving them a tour around the large private villa.

Iris stopped walking and took of her shoes. ”I want to walk barefoot and feel the sand under my feet.”

He shook the dark thoughts of her past life from his mind and smiled. ”Alright. Me, too.”

Taking her shoes from her, he also took off his own shoes and went barefoot like her. His subordinate who was following behind them came forward to take both of their shoes.

Iris lifted her head and closed her eyes to enjoy the cool breeze. ”It's so beautiful and peaceful here.”

”I'm glad you like it here, Young Madam.” The caretaker was pleased and became more enthusiastic in giving the newlyweds the tour.

Afterwards, the caretaker left Iris and Jin Liwei at their opulent master bedroom suite. The decorations were very tropical, evoking a sense of the exotic but also feeling very relaxing at the same time.

There were petals on the floor forming a path to the huge canopied bed. More petals were arranged on top of the bedsheets into two big interlocking hearts. There was also a welcome package of fresh fruits, refreshments, flowers, and interesting souvenirs for the two of them on the coffee table with a card addressed to ”Mr. and Mrs. Jin”.

Iris noticed her husband looking smug after reading the card. ”You like it so much that I'm now Mrs. Jin?”

”I love that you're now my wife,” he corrected.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. ”Me, too. I love that you're now my husband. I thought that since we've been living together, things wouldn't feel so different whether we married or not. But I was wrong. Something seems to change now that we're officially married to each other. I'm not sure what exactly it is that feels different but I can feel it. Do you?”

”En. I feel it, too.”
