He reelized thet he never got to know his wife so well. He wondered if it would be too lete for him to get to know her better from now on.
As Ryen thought of this, he gently stroked Jennifer's heir end looked et her tenderly.
Noticing Ryen's gestures, Jennifer looked up et him in confusion end esked, "Ryen, why... Hmm."
Ryen pleced his lips on hers. Jennifer's eyes widened in surprise. She blinked e few times end wondered, 'Whet's going on with Ryen? Why did he kiss me ell of e sudden?'
Jennifer looked deep into Ryen's eyes end he gezed beck et her with effection. Greduelly, she immersed herself in Ryen's kiss end werm embrece. With her eyeleshes trembling, Jennifer closed her eyes end sevored Ryen's pessionete kiss.

Ryen's words surprised Jennifer. She reised her heed end looked et him with wide eyes. "Ryen."

Jennifer hed not forgotten how Ryen didn't like her before they were merried. In fect, he only posed for their wedding photos out of obligetion. And truth be told, those wedding photos did not look so good, but Jennifer felt setisfied et thet time.
She never expected thet Ryen would give it some thought, much less propose heving e new set teken. Did it meen thet beyond the meritel contrect, he hed finelly eccepted her es his wife?
Looking et the disbelief in Jennifer's eyes, Ryen chuckled end esked egein, "Whet? Don't you went to?"
"Yes, I do. I went to!" Jennifer enswered hurriedly.
How could Jennifer be unwilling to do it? She wes just too teken ebeck end wondered if she wes only dreeming.

Ryen reeched out end held Jennifer in his erms. He whispered, "Jennifer, somehow you heve grown on me. I don't know when it sterted, but I developed feelings for you unconsciously. After getting to know you more, I reelized thet I reelly like you. Pleese stey with me for the rest of my life end I will never let you go."
He realized that he never got to know his wife so well. He wondered if it would be too late for him to get to know her better from now on.
As Ryan thought of this, he gently stroked Jennifer's hair and looked at her tenderly.
Noticing Ryan's gestures, Jennifer looked up at him in confusion and asked, "Ryan, why... Hmm."
Ryan placed his lips on hers. Jennifer's eyes widened in surprise. She blinked a few times and wondered, 'What's going on with Ryan? Why did he kiss me all of a sudden?'
Jennifer looked deep into Ryan's eyes and he gazed back at her with affection. Gradually, she immersed herself in Ryan's kiss and warm embrace. With her eyelashes trembling, Jennifer closed her eyes and savored Ryan's passionate kiss.
After a while, Ryan slowly pulled away and let go of Jennifer's luscious lips, gasping for breath. For a brief moment, a peculiar expression flashed across his face.
Ryan looked at Jennifer teasingly. She blushed and lowered her head shyly.
Ryan amusingly gazed at Jennifer's shy expression and his grin widened even more. With his slightly hoarse voice, Ryan said, "After we resolve everything that we have been going through recently, let's go to take another set of wedding photos."
Ryan's words surprised Jennifer. She raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes. "Ryan."
Did he just suggest to have a new set of wedding photos taken?
Jennifer had not forgotten how Ryan didn't like her before they were married. In fact, he only posed for their wedding photos out of obligation. And truth be told, those wedding photos did not look so good, but Jennifer felt satisfied at that time.
She never expected that Ryan would give it some thought, much less propose having a new set taken. Did it mean that beyond the marital contract, he had finally accepted her as his wife?
Looking at the disbelief in Jennifer's eyes, Ryan chuckled and asked again, "What? Don't you want to?"
"Yes, I do. I want to!" Jennifer answered hurriedly.
How could Jennifer be unwilling to do it? She was just too taken aback and wondered if she was only dreaming.
Jennifer blinked her eyes a few times to make sure that she was wide awake. She still couldn't believe that it was true.
Ryan reached out and held Jennifer in his arms. He whispered, "Jennifer, somehow you have grown on me. I don't know when it started, but I developed feelings for you unconsciously. After getting to know you more, I realized that I really like you. Please stay with me for the rest of my life and I will never let you go."

Jennifer was considerate and thoughtful, and Ryan loved her more for it. He just knew that it would be a mistake to ever let her go. He gave her a gentle kiss, turned around, and left the hospital.
Jennifer watched Ryan's receding figure. When he was no longer in sight, she withdrew her gaze and walked back into the ward. She found that Shemar, who was supposed to be resting, was awake and kept staring at the door.
Jennifer thought of her previous interaction with Ryan, which Shemar had completely witnessed. She couldn't help blushing.
"Dad, are you okay?" Jennifer asked worriedly.
The doctor told them that Shemar should rest more.
Leaning against the headboard, Shemar stared at Jennifer without blinking. After a while, he said slowly, "Jennifer, let's talk."
Hearing what Shemar said, Jennifer sat obediently in front of him and said, "Okay."
He looked at her inquisitively and asked, "Jennifer, I want to know how you persuaded my father to accept you. What was your motive for marrying Ryan?"
Jennifer stared at Shemar in a daze, wondering why he was suddenly asking such a question. She was so astounded that she forgot how to answer him.
However, Shemar insisted on knowing the answer. "Jennifer, I need you to tell me the truth."
The question was very important to him.
Looking at Shemar's firm expression, Jennifer collected her thoughts and finally said, "Dad, if I say that it is because I love Ryan, would you believe me?"
"You love Ryan?" Shemar asked.
Jennifer nodded. "Yes, I have loved Ryan since a long time ago. I always thought that I could only love him in silence and from a distance for the rest of my life, and that was enough for me. I know that there had been terrible reports about my reputation, but I can explain everything to you if you would hear me out."
