บท 45: So Soon

Rain couldn't do a thing when Mr. Rock insisted on picking her up, so she no longer argued with the older man. Besides, she enjoyed his company and knew the ride wouldn't be boring with him around.

"Good morning, daughter-in-law!" Alexander's father beamed the moment she entered his car.

Rain gave him her sweetest smile and said, "Good morning."

Her face blushed as she noticed his gaze linger on her hand, where she wore the wedding ring. "It definitely looks perfect on you!" he praised. "I'm glad you're wearing it!"

His smile was priceless and so genuine; she could truly sense how desperate he was for his son's marriage to work out. Her face suddenly reddened as she recalled the night she spent with Alexander. It had been intimate, feeling almost like they were truly husband and wife in the sense of their closeness.
