I Was His Wife, Then His Widow, Then No One's But My Own novel Chapter 434

Xander raised an eyebrow at her, catching her hand and enveloping it gently within his warm palm.

"You don't need to worry about this. I've already got people handling it. Whether it's Seraphina or anyone else, I won't give them another chance to get near you."

He tightened his grip on her hand, his serious tone softening as the icy edge in his eyes melted into something far more tender.

"Right now, the last thing we should do is let irrelevant people and problems ruin our plans. We need to focus on enjoying our honeymoon. This is our private time. I've already had the housekeeper pack the rest of our bags. Just double-check if there's anything else you need, and we'll head out."

Nora looked at him and nodded. Just then, Bonnie padded down the stairs, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Spotting Nora, the little girl immediately threw herself into her arms, tilting her head back with a bright, sunny giggle. "Good morning, Mom!"

Her sweet, melodic voice instantly brightened Nora's mood.

Watching them, Xander chimed in, "So, now that Bonnie has a mom, her dad is old news?"

Bonnie turned around, stuck her tongue out at him, and pulled a funny face. "Blehh! Dad doesn't smell as nice as Mom!"

Nora laughed, gently pinching Bonnie's soft cheek. "It's the weekend, sweetie. Why didn't you sleep in a little longer?"

Bonnie wrapped her little arms tightly around Nora's waist. "I couldn't sleep! When you aren't there, I don't sleep well. I want Mom to sleep with me."

Bonnie had always dreamed of having a mother, especially one as wonderful as Nora. When Xander and Nora finally tied the knot, no one had been more thrilled than the little girl.

Nora coaxed her with gentle, boundless patience. "I'll sleep with you as soon as I get back, okay?"
