S2| 146. Keeping Hope

"You're wrong, Julian. I am very happy to be living with you and also very glad to enter this house as your wife. It's like a beautiful dream come true. But ..." Mia said before turning her smile into a wry one, "we can't be laughing and dancing, can we?"

"That's what I meant. I have failed to ensure the safety of our wedding. If only Dad was still alive, our happiness would be perfect,” Julian regretted with a wrinkled face.

Not wanting her husband to keep carrying the burden, Mia jerked the hand that was holding her lightly. "Come on, Julian. It's not your fault," she said softly. "We can't fight the fate. So, put away your regrets. Don't make Dad uneasy up there."

From under the furrows of his brows, the man depicted disappointment. "But, I really want to make my wife happy," he said in a dragging voice.
