He had never been a gentleman, but one glance was all it took for a girl to settle in his heart.
Hugs, kisses, tenderness: he put his heart and soul into every moment.
But she never returned his feelings.
At last, his defenses crumbled, and he no longer had the strength to protect her…
She had only ever trusted herself.
A marriage contract meant nothing to her.
She said, "If you never give your heart away, it can't be abandoned."
A smile played at her lips, but her eyes were cold.
Only when she stood before a snowy street
did she understand:
A man who sets aside all pride to indulge her
was the greatest promise she could ever receive.
Someone once said, "A husband within arm's reach is where a wife belongs."
