It was as if she killed his happiness.
She bit her lip lightly. She wanted to explain, but she could not seem to say it.
It was just their first night as a married couple, and she did not know what she was doing. She was prepared to sleep with him, but at that moment, she wanted to escape.
The temperature in the room was slowly cooling down, and no one spoke.
Candice could barely hold on in the tense atmosphere. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Edward say, "I won't force you."
Stunned, Candice turned to look at Edward.
Seeing that Edward had finally regained his composure and gained control of his emotions, he said calmly, "We still have a long way to go."
He also said it jokingly to give her a way out. It was to ease her embarrassment and the guilt in her heart.
Candice bit her lip and chose to remain silent.
Edward said, "You can sleep in this room, and I'll sleep in the next."
