Jeanne Makes Her Move

"He'll be fine in a few days," Edward said lightly.

Jeanne shook her head. At the thought of that essay, she did not think Nox would recover so quickly. It had become a thorn in his heart that he would never be able to get rid of for the rest of his life. 

"Let's just leave it at that." Jeanne could not be bothered to explain herself. Besides, Edward might not believe her anyway.

"Say you love me," Edward suddenly requested.

Jeanne's heart skipped a beat. Edward was really…

Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hubby, I love you."

Edward was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. "What did you call me again?"

"Didn't you hear it just now?" Jeanne blushed.

She was clearly very embarrassed, yet that man had the nerve to tell her to say it again.

"I want to hear it again."

"No," Jeanne refused. "I'm hanging up."
