Chapter 322

• Liz's POV
• Yes, I belonged to him! We belonged to each other, and his words moved me deeply, a sweet reward after all the suffering I had endured. He smiled, wrapped his arms around me, and hugged me tenderly. I closed my eyes, letting myself be enveloped by his warmth, his scent, his presence. Silence stretched between us as we lost ourselves in each other, unable to separate.
• "Aren't you going to ask me anything else?" I took the initiative to break the silence. He must have been full of doubts, but his spirit exuded understanding and certainty.
