Kapitel 401: Wedding Night

A very long chapter. Enjoy it slowly.

-------

"I love you, Esther."

Esther found her worries melting upon hearing these words from her husband. The young man had never shied away from showing the intensity of his affection for her, but this was the first time he had uttered those sweet words to her. The way he kissed her fingers was ever-so-tender as if he was silently saying a vow to himself how Esther was a treasure he would cherish for eternity. 

Such simple words, but Esther found herself overwhelmed, her heart filled to the brim with joy.

There was a time in her life she was ready to do anything to hear these words from a certain someone, but along with her high expectation was the crushing disappointment she got in return. It broke her heart. That was a time she never wanted to recall ever again, and she thought she would never heal from that experience. 

Until she met Theron Ivanov.
