The Cherished Wife



Peter glanced at Tania. "You probably didn't hear me clearly before. I said I only have two people I consider family now-you and our son, Brandon." As he spoke, he looked at Tania with intensity, and her heart began to pound rapidly. That feeling had actually been lingering ever since he made that statement.

At that moment, she was taken aback, but given the circumstances, she tried her best to ignore Peter. Now, however, it was just the three of them in the car. There was only Brandon, who did not fully understand the situation, leaving no room for her to pretend.

Peter continued watching her closely. When he noticed her obvious discomfort, he gave a slight smile. "Tania, give me another chance. You know it's true. There's never been anyone else but you."

Tania turned her head toward the window. "But my relationship with Jack..."

"He could never really marry you," Peter said firmly. "A person like him would never make that commitment."

"Even if that's the case, do you honestly think we can go back to how we were? We're not the same people we were three years ago. We're no longer young."

"Who says it's impossible? If you want it, everything is possible." Peter took her hand. "Give me a chance, and give yourself one too. Brandon needs a complete family."

"I..." Her words were cut short by the sudden ringing of Peter's phone. Tania blinked in surprise and quickly pulled her hand back.

Peter squinted at the screen before answering, "Zara, is there something you need?"

"Mr. Peter, I wanted to ask about Ms. Tania. Didn't you say she'd come back? You promised you'd bring her to see me! You know how much f miss her," Zara rambled on, making her intent clear-she wanted to see Ms. Tania.

Holding the phone, Peter glanced at Tania. Zara's voice was loud enough that Tania overheard everything, and it made her feel a bit awkward, especially since Zara kept talking about her.

"Zara, Tania is right here with me," Peter said with a hint of resignation.

"Really? Oh, hand her the phone! Tell her I miss her like crazy. She's been gone for three years with no word on her. I don't even know where she went! Didn't she know I'd be worried sick?"

Tania pursed her lips, hesitant to take the call. She knew Zara far too well. Zara's kindness toward her was something she could never forget, but she also knew Zara was on Peter's side.

The moment she took that call, she would likely receive the same barrage of persuasion as three years ago when Zara had tried to convince her to be with Peter.

She hesitated, staring at Peter'snoveldrama

hand holding the phone. Seeing her reluctance, Peter gently placed the phone closer to her ear. "Just say something to her. She'll keep worrying about you otherwise, and I have to focus on driving."

As Tania hesitated, Zara's voice came through, full of warmth. "Is that you, Ms. Tania? It's me, Zara. How are you, dear? How have you been these past three years? Are you eating well? Are you keeping warm? It's been too long since you've had my food, hasn't it? Do you miss me?"

Hearing Zara's familiar voice, Tania's eyes welled up, and her lips quivered as she replied softly, "Zara, it's me. I've missed you too."
