Chapter 1895

Marion smiled.

He'd been healed long ago, just hung up on the past.

"How was it?" William asked, eager. "How did you feel? Real? Did you relive the past?"

"Review later. I've got more important things to do," Marion said.

"Important things? What can be more important than Debra?" William blinked.

"Buying her breakfast," Marion replied, leaving the lab.

"Wait!" William called after him. "It took me 20 years of hard work, and there is no feedback?"

He eyed the half-empty vial, then grinned at Jordan. "Wanna try it?"

Jordan scoffed. "Lame." Follow current novᴇls on Find✶Novel.net

"Don't bail," William said urgently. "This is legit, tested out by Marion Houston. No charge for Beta testers."

At home, Debra was still fast asleep.

Marion watched with a soft smile. His hand brushed her cheek.

In that dream, she might not have loved him, but it didn't matter. In this life, they had a happy married life.

He lay down and held her close.

The next morning, he biked to get her favorite pizza as usual.

Debra woke up. "I had a dream last night."

Marion raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?"

"I saw you as a kid," Debra continued. "You wanted to say hi, but your face turned red the second you saw me. You were so adorable, so I teased you a bit."

Marion chuckled and tapped her nose.

"Picking on little me, huh?"

"Well, you don't let me pick on you now."

"No way," he said, taking her hand. "You're the only one who can pick on me in this world."

"Such a good boy," Debra teased. "You sure you haven't done anything bad recently?"

"If I did anything to upset you, it was letting you slip through my fingers."

"Well, we haven't gone out together in forever."

"Yeah. Since Lillian was born, we haven't had time for a trip."

"I just had a brilliant idea."

"What's that?"

"Your plan to send Lillian to Randy and Erica's place? I'm all in."

Marion nodded, pretending to mull it over. "Solid plan."

"When do we book the tickets?"

"Right now."

Marion didn't waste time. That night, he booked flights overseas.
