I didn't expect Rosaline to wake up. When she turned to look at me, I froze for a moment before quickly composing myself. She's my wife. Why should I feel guilty? With that thought, I felt much more at ease. I lifted the blanket and slid in beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder so she could rest on my arm. "It's been a while since we've talked like this. I wanted to hold you." "Hmm?" Rosaline lifted her head slightly, looking at me with confusion. "What's gotten into you?" "Nothing." I gazed at her, my heart overflowing with love. Pulling her closer, I murmured, "I was just thinking, this time, I'll ensure you have the grand engagement ceremony you deserve. Everything I owe you, everything that should've been yours. I'll give it all to you." Rosaline's lips curled into a sweet smile as she hesitantly wrapped her arms around my waist. "You know, I don't actually care about all that. As long as you're there, that's enough." Our eyes met, and at that moment, I wished time could stop forever. Rosaline's POV: The next day, after saying goodbye to Richard at the old estate of the Eclipse Group, Caden and I got into the car and left. "Caden, I'll fly to Phoshire for the fashion design competition tomorrow. I'll be gone for about five or six days, not counting the travel time, so wait for me, okay?" I said. Caden tightened his grip on my hand, adjusted the car's speed to something more comfortable, and then turned to look at me. "I'll go with you." I shook my head. "Isn't work hectic right now? Just focus on your company. I promise I'll be fine." "But ... " He hesitated. "Aren't you afraid of heights? What if you panic on the plane? I think it's better to go with you, just in case." His gaze was so sincere that I couldn't help but smile. Having Caden by my side is my life's most significant source of happiness. Without thinking, as soon as Caden pulled the car over, I instinctively leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his lips. Grasping his wrist, I whispered, "You're amazing." That kiss flipped a switch, instantly setting off Caden's desire. He slipped an arm around my waist and pulled me close.The distance between us vanished, and after just a second or two of staring into my eyes, he captured my lips in a deep, possessive kiss, pouring all his passion and intensity into it. I quickly melted into the kiss, my hands instinctively wrapping around Caden's neck as I responded to him with gentle affection. Yet, despite the heat of the moment, his kiss remained controlled. After half a minute, he pulled away and looked at me with deep affection. "I just want you to know, no matter what, I'll always be there for you. I won't let anything happen to you." "I got it." I smiled, not saying more about Caden's decision to go to Phoshire with me. It was as good as agreeing. The following day, at precisely ten o'clock, Caden had already arranged for a private jet to be ready at the airport. After passing through security, we boarded together. "This time, nothing bad will happen, right?" Because of what happened the last time I was on a plane, I kept telling myself I wasn't afraid of heights, but deep down, I couldn't shake the anxiety. Caden's voice was gentle, reassuring me, "Nothing will happen. I'm right here with you." Hearing those words, I finally relaxed a little. The flight from Rivemon to Phoshire would take six to seven hours. Everything was smooth at first, but about two hours in, the plane suddenly jolted, shaking violently briefly. I instinctively gripped the hem of my shirt, my fingertips turning pale from how tightly I held on. Caden noticed immediately. Without hesitation, he pulled me into his arms and called over a flight attendant. "What's going on?" "The plane just hit a small air current, but everything is fine now," she explained. "There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Holbrook, Ms. Sinclair." Caden gave a slight nod before turning his attention back to me. He gently patted my shoulder and ran his hand up and down my back, soothing me. But my heart was still racing. That turbulence dragged me back to the memory of the crash, the same sudden drop and terrifying force. Except back then, it had been much worse. I was still shaken. Without realizing it, I clutched his sleeve tightly, my voice barely above a whisper. "Are you sure it's really okay?""It's okay." His voice was soft but firm. "The flight attendant already said it was just minor turbulence. Everything's fine now. We'll be in Phoshire soon. Just relax, okay?" Under his constant reassurance, my tension gradually eased. I pulled away from his embrace, turning my face to the side to hide my embarrassment. Caden understood. He didn't say anything, just let me be. The rest of the flight was smooth, and six hours later, we finally arrived in Phoshire.
