After the wedding banquet, I settled my son in to sleep and then started tidying up the aftermath with Jiang Jinghuai.

But he didn't even let me touch a pair of chopsticks, took all the work upon himself, and insisted that I just have a good rest.

Watching his busy back, my heart felt soft.

Nothing else, really. After going through those lousy days with the Zhou Family and now being cared for so tenderly, the contrast is too stark.

My parents said Jiang Jinghuai liked me for many years, and after hearing about my marriage, he remained single. Later, when I was widowed, he once more thought of marrying me, but at that time, I was determined to mourn Zhou Zian, so Jiang Jinghuai waited for me for three years, thus delaying the marriage until now.

His feelings for me were no less than what I had for Zhou Zian back then, even more intense.

Thankfully, we finally reached the happy ending.
