My Bossy CEO Husband

Wendy's eyes widened.

"What did you just say?"

‘Did I hear him right?’ she wondered.

They had known each other for quite some time already.Ryan had pursued her and even asked her several times to be his girlfriend.Wendy had also developed feelings for him.But they had never said the word "love" to each other.

This was the first time Wendy had heard Ryan say this and she was utterly shocked.

Ryan had always been a man of a few words.She never thought of him as the type to verbally express his love.Wendy couldn't help turning back around. The two locked gazes with each other.

"Did you just..."

"Yes, Wendy.I love you."

Still dazed, Wendy stuttered, "You said...that you..."

Ryan placed his hand on her belly again.Though his palm was warm, his touch sent shivers down her spine.

Gently, he stroked the area where the scar was.

Wendy twitched and wanted to move away.

"Don't move, please."

"But you..."

Ryan closed his eyes and sighed, his breath blowing coldly on Wendy's face.

"Your scar...I think it’s sacred." Wendy's eyebrows knitted in confusion.

“Hear me out.It's a reminder of how your body nurtured two little babies.They were like seeds that grew bigger and bigger until finally, you delivered them into the world.It's the wonder of life!" Ryan thought about Raymond and Precious and wished they could have grown up together earlier.

If he and Wendy had found each other sooner, they could have fallen in love with each other and gotten together then.He would have been able to witness her pregnancy and the early stages of his babies like a normal husband and father.He could have seen the babies’ first milestones in person.

They could have been nervous and excited to be first-time parents together.But as fate would have it, life turned out differently.

He missed out on a lot of things.
