So did he, as his instincts and mind weren't panicking even a little. But what concerned him more was how will Jennifer take this situation into? Staring at her face, what he came across was the distantness.
"Jennifer…" calling her name sweetly, he took her hands and allowed them to keep it on his chest, "You don't have to worry about that. Now you are my wife... It is my responsibility to protect you."
