Chapter 252

Sally rose from the bed, watching her husband still sleeping. She spent the next few minutes watching the rise and fall of his chest.

Her own chest constricted. He’d taken her to bed after her emotional breakdown and made sweet love to her. Her body tingled in places, her heart swearing with her love for him.

If only she could give him a child. Heavens, please, let me be able to have a child. We have suffered so much in this wicked world; don’t we deserve a small reprieve?

Her eyes stung, but Sally was determined not to cry again because it would only change her husband’s mood if he woke up and saw her this way.

She went to the bathroom and took her bath. Afterward, she reached into the cloth basket and picked out some clothes which she had put on. Then she made her way to the kitchen.

Time passed. She had finished cooking when Chad came out of the bedroom and stood in front of her door. He was smiling at her.

She returned his smile too.
