Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Felipe’s voice trembled. Even his hand, which held the candle, began to shake.

He tried to hold back his tears, but he could not stop the grief from flooding his heart.

He recalled bits and pieces of his memories. If he had been nice to Cathy in even the slightest, perhaps he would not be so pained to the point of having difficulty breathing.

He had, however, mostly brought her tears and heartache over those years.

“Cath, I’ll personally raise our children.

“I’ll remember what you had told me. I’ll teach our children to be righteous and be useful members of society.”

Felipe promised from the bottom of his heart. His tear-filled gaze remained fixed on the photo of Cathy, who was smiling brightly like a blooming flower.

“Cath, let’s arrange to meet again in our next lives. When that time comes, let me be the one to court you. Let me be the one to love you.”

Felipe reached out and gently brushed his cold fingertips across the photo.
