Forever

"If Shelly has half of your conscience, she wouldn't have ended up in this state with my family."

"Are you praising me?" Zoe smiled brightly.

She was very good at pleasing men.

Nox pulled Zoe into her arms again. "That's why I'm very happy to be able to marry you."

"In that case, you have to cherish me."

"Of course."

The two of them exchanged sweet nothings until Zoe fell asleep. Nox, on the other hand, was no longer sleepy. In fact, he was very frustrated.

He let go of Zoe, picked up the bathrobe on the bed, put it on, and walked out to the balcony. He then took a cigarette and lit it. As he sat on the balcony, he stared at the moon in a daze.

He did not understand how Shelly could be so annoying. It was obvious that he had no feelings for Shelly, but he had been thinking about her recently.
