It Will Never Happen

"Only a whiny crazy woman will pretend she went missing or commit suicide. This is not me. I will never do it," said Esther.

The corners of Terence's lips twitched, and he said gloomily, "You were out of touch, wandering outside at that hour of the night. Proley can be dangerous. Do you think I could chill when my wife might be in danger at midnight outside?"

Esther lowered her head guiltily. "Don't you hate me? Why do you care whether I have returned home or not?"

"You don't love me either. Why did you take the risk of being bitten to death by me and insist on staying in my room to help me?"

Esther couldn't argue with that.

She smiled bitterly and said, "So what does this mean? It means that we are already husband and wife. We are a family. We will spend a lifetime together. Even if we don't love each other now, we hope the other half will be safe and sound. Even if we don't love each other at present, we will fall in love with each other in the future."
