She pouts again, as if thinking for a few seconds.

“Babe, I’m the one who’s supposed to be your wife.”

I know. How I would’ve loved for that to happen as well. You know how many times I’ve said this to you”

“It’s supposed to be me and you on our honeymoon.” She rests her head on my chest.

“Once I get everything I desire from my father, I’ll divorce her and marry you.”

I know you will” She looks up
