Hiromi was about to board a plane back to Tokyo when his phone rang with a notification. He pulled out his phone, and it was a text from you. A soft smile spread across his face automatically, but when he read the text—'Hiromi. My water broke.' As soon as he read the text, he felt every kind of emotion at once, but most of all, fear and helplessness. He couldn't believe that his wife was about to deliver his baby, and he was on a flight.

Hiromi and you got married four years ago. It was an arranged marriage, a display of power shown by your family to the world by marrying their only daughter to one of the best lawyers in Japan. However, Hiromi knew better than to treat a woman like an object. He might not be good at showing emotions, but his actions spoke louder than his words.

He would always treat you the way a gentleman should treat his wife. Buying you expensive gifts and sending you a bouquet of your favorite flowers at your workplace (of course, you worked in your father's company, being the heir to his business) every Monday had become a ritual for him. Despite his default stoicism and indifference, he loved you to death.

Then, nine months ago, you told him about your pregnancy.

Currently, he was out of town for an important case. He hadn't wanted to go, but you had forced him to, since the case was high-profile. As the plane landed at the airport, he didn't waste any minutes.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he ran towards the room where you were. He met his and your mother outside the room, who were waiting for him with huge smiles on their faces. Seeing their expressions, he knew everything was fine, but he still wanted to see you and his child.

He opened the door, and his eyes immediately landed on you. You were lying on the bed with a tired and disheveled look; his gaze softened. But as soon as his eyes landed on the crib next to you, where his baby girl was lying, he felt a wave of emotions.
