He squinted, tilting Melody’s chin with one hand, his lips parting as he murmured. “You troublemaker,
hat mischief did you get me into this time?”
As Edward spoke, he wavered slightly and leaned against her neck, his tone carrying a hint of frustration.

He’s so irresistible. Too bad tonight’s off–limits.
Melody quickly put on a sympathetic look, gently ruffling Edward’s short, soft hair as though she were petting a big harmless dog.
a vitality boost pill,” she said. “I just developed it, and it’s quite strong
Her voice was soft, and she nestled in his arms, feeling the warmth of his breath near her ear.
She continued. “So, no physical activity this week. It could strain your body too much.
“But with this supplement, you’ll recover quickly, and ill help your health in the long run.”
Her concern was evident, yet her slightly hesitant expression made Edward realize why she’d given him the pill.
Was she not ready yet
Edward’s eyes deepened. Without another word, he lifted Melody into his arms, carrying her to the bath.
The Moore residence had a vast master bathroom, with a tub big enough for ten people.
Tonight, the water was ready and waiting as he stepped down into it with her.
ith a mischievous smirk, Edward untied Melody’s damp bathrobe, tossing it to the side.
Her eyes widened, and she instinctively moved away, her heart racing. Was she going too far?
“Edward, watch your health.”
Though Edward had already finished his bath, he was ready to join her again, untying his robe. Like a startled bunny, she seemed ready to flee, but he wasn’t about to let her escape.
Seeing Melody’s flustered expression, Edward moved closer to her in the water, catching her slender leg.
A mischievous smile spread across his face, his voice dropping to a low tone. “Where are you going? You came into the bath on your own, didn’t you?”

“You’re always caring for me, making these pills for me, but as your husband, I worry about the toll it takes
on you, too

Edward’s verice was slow, his words enveloping her like the warm mist around them, drawing her gaze.
It was rare for Melody to feel so deeply cherished. Only a few people had given her that feeling–the Tuckers and, of course, Edward.

Theut.
Once again, Edward had touched her heart.
His touch was skilled and precise, his fingers following the massage techniques she’d shared with Bernard before.
As he was able to make her comfortable and fatigue relieved, she could feel the care he’d put into practicing them.
Filled with quiet affection, Melody turned and nestled herself into his embrace, leaning against his chest.
“Having you in my life is the best, honey,” she said softly. “I truly love you”
So, let’s live long, stay happy each year, and grow old together.
