Chapter 973
Then, somebody handed a piece of paper and a pen to Lena after that.
Lena wrote her answer and folded it before putting it on the table. Then, she looked up and said, "Go ahead."
Carter said, "Graduation party during our senior year. We kissed downstairs of your dorm."
Lena paused and looked at him again as a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
Duncan unfolded the piece of paper on the table and saw the word "Cinema" on it. Then, he laughed and said, "They're really
different. So, which one of you remembered it wrongly?"
Carter smiled and looked at Lena gently, "Were you thinking about the time we went to the cinema on your birthday?"
Lena's eye twitched. "You knew yet you gave another answer?"
Carter continued, "I'm not wrong. I kissed you for the first time after the graduation party. You were probably too drunk to
remember it. The cinema was actually the second time. However, it's considered the first time for you. So, technically, we're both
right."
Lena pursed her lips and curled her fingers up.
In fact, they did not kiss when they were at the cinema that day. All Carter did was kiss her cheek. Their real first kiss happened
on Valentine's Day. The same year they officially got together.
Lena closed her eyes and vaguely remembered the person who hugged her during the graduation party, but she just could not
recall what happened exactly. The only thing she could remember after that was someone sending her a cup of coffee to sober
up through her roommate.
She asked around for quite some time before she could find out that the person was Carter.
However, she asked him about it sometime later, and he did not seem to remember it.
Lena opened her eyes and looked at her husband, who was sitting next to her.
Carter used to be so enthusiastic and romantic when he was pursuing her, yet he made Lena feel that he had become very
indifferent toward the relationship after they got together. Be it dating or just their daily lives, Lena could not feel the same
passion in him when he was pursuing her.
She used to think that he got bored of her after getting her. But, unexpectedly, he proposed to her.
Actually, she was not very deeply in love with Carter when they got married.
Her feelings for Carter died down a lot when he would treat her differently based on his mood in those three years.
She had been contemplating breaking up with him for a long time. However, before she could say it, Carter came proposing at
her door unexpectedly.
Her parents liked Carter, and their friends thought that their relationship was very stable. Even though Carter's parents did not
think that she was the perfect wife, they ultimately respected Carter's choice anyway.
After her friends and family convinced her, she figured that chasing after an earth-shattering relationship was unrealistic, and life
was meant to be lived as peacefully as water.
Both parties agreed on the marriage very quickly, and the wedding was held very soon after that too. However, Lena was the
only one preparing everything, and the Lowes were not very enthusiastic about it. Zane was the only person who would ask a
few of his friends to come over and help.
Lena found it funny how the least favored and youngest son in the Lowe family, a person who was said to be dissipated and
infested with bad habits, was the only person who treated her like family during that wedding.
He would always look like he did not care about anything in this world, and the only time the coldness in his eyes would fade
away was when he smiled... Just like when Lena first met Carter.
Unfortunately, that wedding turned into his funeral.
Carter seemed as if he had changed a little after Zane passed away.
He would rarely say romantic things to Lena, but he did it on a daily basis now.
He became a lot more attentive and better at taking care of her after they got married. He would even give in and apologize first
whenever they got into a fight.
He was like a perfect husband who was gentle and responsible. Occasionally, he would also create some unexpected romance
and surprises for Lena.
So, her passionless heart was ignited once again because of him.
However, some weird things followed.
For example, he forgot a lot of small things that they did when they were together, but he would be able to recall the tiniest
details that Lena had forgotten. Another example was that he started not liking his favorite food. And, he would be very aroused
whenever they made out, but he would always stop himself from doing anything more than that.
He claimed that his family had a rule saying that they were not allowed to have a baby for three years after a family member
passed away. And, he was worried that he would not be able to control himself if he touched her.
However, Lena was not very convinced by him. They could simply use protection if that was the case. She figured that there was
no need for him to avoid intercourse.
She had a lot of questions, yet she never asked him about any of them.
Perhaps... perhaps she was just overthinking, and Carter simply changed.
