Why are you still laughing at me?" Davis asked, his voice a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

"You..." Isabelle started, her voice catching in her throat, her eyes wide with surprise.

"What?" Davis asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"That's my first kiss," Isabelle whispered, her voice a mix of embarrassment and confusion.

"I'm your husband. What's the problem with kissing you?" Davis said, his tone a mix of amusement and possessiveness.

"You... what are you doing?" Isabelle exclaimed, her voice rising in alarm

"I'm fulfilling my responsibilities," Davis said, his voice a low rumble.

What responsibilities?" Isabelle asked, her eyes wide with disbelief

"What husbands and wives do," Davis said, his eyes fixed on her

"It's still daylight," Isabelle said, her voice a mix of exasperation and a hint of playful defiance.

"No one can disturb us," Davis said, his voice confident and possessive.

"I'm going to study. Just do what you want, don't bother me," Isabelle said, her voice clipped as she turned to leave.

"Why is your face so red?" Davis asked, his voice laced with amusement.

"Shut up! I... I'm going now!" Isabelle exclaimed, her voice flustered. She ran to her room, burying herself under the covers, her cheeks burning with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. Davis, watching her retreat, a broad smile spreading across his face.

"The old lady, watching from her garden, smiled. She had a feeling that this was just the beginning of the good fortune."

She shoved the man back, but the blade grazed her arm, drawing blood."The attacker, taken aback by Kate's sudden intervention, fled into the shadows. Davis, his face pale with worry, pulled Isabelle into a tight embrace. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice hoarse with concern. He scooped her into his arms and carried her to the car."

"As Davis cradled Kate in the backseat, he noticed the blood staining his shirt. A crimson stain, a stark reminder of the danger they had faced." "The news of their hospitalization reached the old man and the old lady. They rushed to the hospital, their faces etched with worry, canceling the event that had been planned for Davis recovery." "Davis, how is Isabelle?" the old lady asked, her voice filled with worry.
