Chapter 50 - Secret (1/2)

”Love, I forgot my pills. I might get pregnant.” Nina said while they were on the bed after a few rounds.

He kissed her gently on the forehead and pulled her closer to him.

”We'll buy one in the morning. But I don't care if you get pregnant. You are my wife; naturally, I wanted you to have my child.” He answered.

”I know that, but I'm not yet ready.” She honestly said.

Andrew understood Nina's feelings. She was still young, and he didn't want to force her. They could enjoy their life as husband and wife first by traveling around the world.

”Love, will you tell me about your childhood? I want to know everything about you.” Andrew asked.

She smiled, tilting her head up to see his face.

”My parents loved each other so much. They valued family over anything else. They were hardworking, giving my sisters and me everything we needed. We don't have much, but we're happy. Grandma gave us the ramen shop before she died, so we didn't want to sell it. She worked hard for it, and that shop helped our family financially. I was able to finish grade school because of it.” She started.

He sighed. He suddenly felt guilty buying their shop.

”Hey, don't think about it. It wasn't your fault. Besides, you already gave my family a lot of support. However, I missed the house and the shop because that's where I grew up. I'm not telling you so you could feel guilty. I was just being honest.” She continued.

”If only I could give it back to your family, I would do it. But they already started the demolition a few weeks ago.” He said in a sad tone.

She felt sad when she heard it from him. But she couldn't do anything about it.

”Let's look at the bright side. If it weren't for that shop, we wouldn't be able to meet. So maybe it was fate. I lost the shop and the place I grew up with, but because of it, I met you. You are the only place I wanted to grow old with.”

He felt happy hearing those words from Nina, and he knew that their marriage would last a lifetime.

”Go to sleep. I need to finish some reports first and send them to my father. I'll join you after.” He said in a gentle voice.

She yawned but suddenly thought of something.

”Can you wake me up after work?” She asked with a huge smile on her face.

He frowned. ”Why? You need to rest.”

”I want to make love to you again. So, will you wake me up with a kiss?” She teased.

He chuckled. ”I will wake you up in a different way then.”

”How? Tell me.” She asked.
