A Doting Marriage Dropped from the Clouds

I was completely shocked when I found out I was married to the notoriously proud Mr. Chu. The irony is, he seems just as unhappy about this arrangement as I am. Determined to push me into ending things, he goes out of his way to make life difficult. Yet, despite his cold demeanor, there are moments when he softens—apologizing for his sharp words or offering comfort when I’m upset. These unexpected gestures leave me questioning whether there’s more beneath his icy exterior, making me wonder if I’m actually cherished in this bizarre relationship.

His arrogance is undeniable, but so are those rare glimpses of tenderness. One moment, he’s pushing me away, and the next, he’s the one pulling me back with quiet acts of care. It’s confusing, to say the least—am I trapped in a loveless marriage, or is there something deeper he refuses to admit? The way he hovers between indifference and unexpected warmth keeps me second-guessing everything.

Maybe this marriage wasn’t just dropped from the clouds by chance. Maybe, beneath all the pride and resistance, there’s something neither of us wants to acknowledge. Or maybe I’m just fooling myself, hoping for affection where there’s only obligation. Either way, I can’t deny that his unpredictable behavior has me caught between frustration and something dangerously close to longing.
