---- Chapter 7 Thomas' expression twisted when he looked at the newcomer before he whipped his head around to look at me in disbelief. I didn't pay him any attention. My focus was entirely on Xavier. A smile stretched across my face as I asked, "| thought it would take another two days for you to come back." "According to the original schedule, that would have been the case. But I was very persistent with them, explaining to them how difficult it was to find my future wife. I told them if they delayed our marriage any further and affected my chances of creating a family of my own, I was going to go crying to them every single day."
