Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 185

"What did you do to Micah? He seems completely into you. Guess he really does care."

Dawn stood by the second-floor window, watching the car lights fade into the distance before turning back around.

Ethan pulled her into his arms and stole a quick kiss.

Instead of answering her, he asked, "When is Andy coming back?"

"Huh?" Dawn was confused.

"Once he's back, he can take that annoying kid away from us."

Dawn glanced sideways at him, his face calm and without expression. She couldn't help but laugh a little.

Even though Ethan often acted like he couldn't stand Micah, she noticed he treated the boy differently from others.

Lowering her eyes, she said softly, "Don't you think he has a point?"

To her surprise, Ethan actually gave a quiet "hmm" in agreement.

"But I have my own judgment. I love you, not because of just one thing. Sure, you're beautiful and kind, but that's only a part of who you are."

Ethan lifted her chin so she had to meet his eyes.

"I love everything about you. Every part. Take away any part, and it wouldn't be you anymore. Understand?"

Even her stubborn, wild side, the good and the bad, he loved them all.

Dawn looked at him. They hadn't been together very long, but it felt like she'd known him forever.

She didn't need to speak much. He always seemed to understand exactly what she meant.

She wrapped her arms around his slim waist and sighed softly.

"What am I going to do? It feels like you can see straight through me."

Ethan chuckled. "That's all I need, being able to see the real you."

He kissed her passionately, then lifted her into his arms. "Come on, it's bedtime!"

The night was peaceful. Maybe because the person she loved was right there with her. Even the breeze felt lighter, and the tiny buds on the trees seemed to sway as if welcoming spring.

The next day.

Dawn had the day off and went to try on wedding dresses with Tara.

"Seriously, what's the point of having a fiancé like yours? You told him today was your wedding dress fitting, and he still went to work. Since when is work more important than his wife?"

Tara muttered as they walked, clearly frustrated with Ethan.

Dawn smiled and tried to soothe her. "Mrs. Jackson, he said he'd come as soon as his meeting finished."

"Other people can reschedule meetings. Why can't he? Is he the president or something, too busy for his own wedding?"

They chatted as they entered the bridal shop.

The bridal shop is part of an international chain. Besides regular dresses, they also made custom designs for high-end clients.
