Chapter 74 Blissful Year

I was trimming the flower bushes when a pair of hands wrapped around me. I almost squealed if I hadn't known the familiar gesture.

"Happy anniversary," Sylvester whispered to my ear.

I turned my head at him, smiling. "Huh. I thought you forgot about it." I spun around so I could cling my hands around his neck.

He smiled sheepishly. "You really think I would ever forget the day we got married, Her Grace, Duchess Anais." I closed my eyes when he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

I chuckled and leaned my head to his chest. "I am just making sure that you will never forget."

It was a blissful year for Sylvester and me. Our relationship deepened the moment we marked each other. Although we weren't each other's mates, it was still pretty normal to mark each other. With this, we had a deep connection to each other and were able to understand each other's feelings.

"I am thinking of having a one-week vacation for our wedding anniversary."
