When you married Kento, your initial thought was, "This is going to be hell." You assumed he would treat you like a mere object, a means to gain power and influence. However, you couldn't have been more wrong.
It's been a year since your arranged marriage, a union orchestrated by your families to showcase their power. But Kento knows better than to treat a woman like a possession. Although he struggles to express his emotions, his actions speak volumes.
He treats you with the respect and kindness that a gentleman should afford his wife. Every Monday, he sends a bouquet of your favorite flowers to your workplace at your father's business, and he often surprises you with expensive gifts. When you once asked him why he chose Mondays, he replied, "Then your whole week would start brightly."
Kento is aware that he's falling for you, but he finds it challenging to convey his feelings. Similarly, you treat him with respect and care, but you also struggle to express your emotions, despite being aware of them.
Currently, you're both preparing to attend a dinner party hosted by your father, where both your families will be present.
"Are you ready to go, sweetheart?" Kento asked, adjusting his tie as he grabbed his suit. Just then, the bedroom door opened, and you stepped out.
