Chapter 125 --The Villa
Ardan’s expression softened in response to his wife's refusal to accept his explanation. His heart ached, seeing the disappointment in his little wife’s eyes—a clear sign of her dissatisfaction with his decision.
Without a word, Ardan caressed her face gently, his eyes dim with regret, silently conveying that he too was hurting—hurting because he couldn’t make her feel safe and comforted.
The couple stared at each other for a long moment, both silently nursing their wounds. In the end, Aruna relented once more, her heart softening upon seeing the sorrow behind her husband's handsome but somber face.
Lowering her head, Aruna steadied her emotions, forcing herself to stay calm and strong despite the consequences she now had to bear—consequences of being married to a man burdened with the weighty responsibilities of his role as a special government officer.
