He knew that if he continued to clash with Nathan Leafcastle, it would only hurt her.
This ti, he held back.
She lifted her lips, "Thank you, hubby."
He reached out to grasp her wrist, his hand extended to support her waist, and leaned in to kiss her on the side of her neck.
"How do you plan to thank ?!"
Since the incident until now, more than a month had passed, and he hadn’t touched her, needless to say how much he missed her.
She leaned against him, softly spoke, "The baby is not yet three months, be gentle."
The man acknowledged and gently picked her up, placing her on the bed.
He bent down, cradled her face, and kissed her bit by bit.
Her hair, forehead, the tip of her nose... finally pecking lightly on her lips.
"Did you miss ?"
Her face flushed, but her eyes didn’t shy away from his gaze, her voice low yet clear.
"I missed you, every single night."
Life in prison was monotonous and boring, thinking of him was her greatest comfort.
The man didn’t speak, just lightly inhaled and kissed her lips.
She wrapped her arm around his neck, closed her eyes, and responded wholeheartedly.

Three days later, the Peacock River project officially launched.
Besides Kris Cooper and Vera Wave, Kenton Maverick along with his father Magnus Loft and Aaron Chapman, along with Christoper Cooper and Bailey Hansen attended the launch ceremony together.
Because they had already done their howork, Ashton openly revealed the truth about the Peacock River, a move that was unanimously recognized by the public and dia, seen as a "brave and responsible" act by Ashton.
The initially negative news was also reversed due to tily efforts in operations, and the establishnt of a special foundation made the launch ceremony more substantial and eye-catching.
The news spread, and the Peacock River project gained imnse fa.
Originally, the project was already very attractive due to its excellent environnt and convenient transportation. Reports proved that the oxygen content of the air and mineral quality of the river water far exceeded other areas.
On the first day of the launch, the contract signing rate for the first phase reached 30%, far surpassing sales expectations.
That evening, when the U.S. stock market opened, Ashton’s stock rose by two percentage points.
The two appeared together, occasionally whispering, their faces filled with smiles.
At the press conference, when Vera’s shoe lace ca undone, Kris Cooper imdiately bent down to help her tie it.
Before group photos were taken, Vera didn’t forget to straighten his shirt.
These small details were all captured by the journalists, the couple appearing together so lovingly, imdiately dispelling previous rumors of discord between them.
Later, during the question-and-answer session of the press conference, a curious journalist imdiately asked about the gossip.
Vera confidently responded, "I believe no couple doesn’t have bumps. Kris and I were indeed a bit unhappy before, but... that is in the past. As for Nathan Leafcastle, he’s been a good friend since childhood and is already engaged to Miss Jane from the Barker Group, we’re just friends, it was all a misunderstanding."
She smiled at Kris Cooper beside her, and he smiled back before turning to the audience.
"Taking this opportunity, I’d also like to share so news: Vera and I have decided to hold our wedding one month from now, on July 25th. Please bless us."
