Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

John could feel her hot tears, making his heart ache.

It was his fault. He didn\'t trust her enough.

He withdrew his mouth from hers, still pressing his forehead against hers. He grazed his nose with hers as he cupped her face with his hands that trembled slightly. He was apologizing to her.

Even in the darkness, Nina could perceive the guilt written all over his face. The weight of his words was not lost on her either.

Considering the proud man he was, it was a huge deal that he was taking the initiative to apologize.

She felt a lump form in her throat as tears continued to fall down. It wasn\'t until then that she realized just how she truly needed his care and affection.

"Why didn\'t you come home last night? I waited up for you..." She was still upset about the fact that her husband didn\'t come home that night. She fruitlessly stayed up late waiting for him.

Even just the mere thought of it made her chest tighten.

lly.

Stunned, she recalled how Time Group was attacked last time and how clueless he was back then.

Now he suddenly was at Level 5?

"How long did it take you to reach that level?" She swallowed back, bracing herself for his answer.

He studied the strange look on her face as he deliberately lied, "A month."

In reality, it only took him half a month.

He only took around three hours a day to study.

She heaved a deep breath as incredulity was written all over her face.

"You\'re so smart. God must really love you. I spent around..."

She suddenly stopped as if she decided against continuing what she was about to say.

It was a little embarrassing to say it out loud.

It took her three years to get to where she was now.

What took him a month to learn took her two years to learn.

She then hoped inwardly that John\'s genes would be strong enough that their child\'s IQ would be as high as his.

If anything, their child might even turn out smarter than John.

Before she knew it, she was lost in thought.
