One afternoon, while visiting Jason’s parents, I accidentally overheard him talking to his mother in the kitchen. He admitted that before our marriage, he cared mostly about parties and having fun. But becoming my husband and Lily’s father had completely changed his life.
Jason told his mother that he woke up every morning grateful for our family and couldn’t imagine living without us. Hearing those words brought tears to my eyes. I had spent months worrying that he regretted our marriage, never realizing how deeply he appreciated everything we had built together.
That evening, I confessed that I had overheard his conversation. Jason gently held my hand and assured me that every word was true. The next day, I surprised him with his favorite dinner, candles, and little love notes. Our parents may have arranged our marriage, but I finally understood that the love between us was something we had created ourselves.
