On her first day as a bride, she woke up late, feeling extremely embarrassed and mixed with some guilt.
"Still calling them Uncle and Aunt?" Before leading her up their home's stairs, he turned back and twisted his fingers on the half-open button of her collar. That gesture, uncertain whether it was to help her unbutton or button up.
In an instant, she was startled by him again.
Being startled twice, now her whole body felt as if it had been crushed, and from the depth of her heart, she involuntarily developed a sense of awe towards him. Although she used to respect him as a superior, now she had to accept him as a man.
Did he sense her momentary trembling?
Was she afraid of him?
This was indeed good. He was only worried this girl wouldn't be afraid of him, because sometimes, the things she did were too stubborn, excessive, needing proper education.
