Chapter 66 I Love You

• The night was calm, with a soft breeze slipping through the slightly open window. The curtains swayed gently, and the dim light of the bedside lamp cast warm shadows across the room. Ava lay on the bed, wrapped in a comfortable robe, her body sinking into the plush mattress. Her rounded belly rose and fell with her steady breathing, a visible sign of the life she carried within.
• Alexander sat beside her, his gaze fixed on her face. Slowly, he lay down next to her, his arms circling her gently. His touch was warm, firm yet tender, as though he feared she might slip away if he held her too tightly.
• He planted a soft kiss on her forehead, his lips lingering. "I never thought I'd know what love truly feels like," he murmured, his voice low and steady. "But now that I have you, I can't imagine life without it."
