Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1013

“Have you forgotten?” Queenie blinked her teary eyelashes, the remnants of her tears glistening. She spoke earnestly, “When we got married, it was in a small cottage in the field, just like the one in front of us.”

Emmanuel remained silent, his gaze fixed on the cottage. Despite the darkness of the night, he could discern its resemblance to the one in Hero’s Village, where they grew up. It felt like a near replica.

“Should we visit there again so I can find closure where everything began? Can we?” Her eyes were filled with longing.
