Athena noticed the change in Tyler as well. In the past, whenever something upset him, he’d sulk and ask if he owed her some kind of debt.
But today, and really the whole day through, Tyler was uncharacteristically agreeable.
It left Athena with little to complain about, and the two of them settled into a surprisingly harmonious routine.
Two days later, Athena was discharged from the hospital—her leg finally well enough to recover at home.
Tyler became her constant companion, fussing over her from morning till night, refusing to let anyone else lift a finger. He insisted on doing everything himself.
Even when it came to bathing, Tyler scooped her up and carried her into the tub.
At first, being doted on this way made Athena uncomfortable, but seeing how much Tyler seemed to enjoy himself, she eventually stopped protesting.
Of course, when Tyler helped her bathe, his hands inevitably started to wander.
She nudged his hand away, frowning. “I’m still recovering, you know.”
Tyler just raised an eyebrow, looking completely unfazed. “That’s exactly why I want to help you relax your muscles with a proper massage.”
“Your hand is on my chest.”
“Your chest needs a massage too.”
He said it with such earnest conviction, as if he didn’t notice he was taking advantage.
Athena finally let him have his way—after all, it wasn’t as if this was new territory for them.
In the end, Tyler got what he wanted, pulling her into his arms and moving gently, mindful of her injury. He didn’t drag things out, finishing quickly out of consideration for her.
As he kissed her, his voice grew soft and serious. “What do you say… should we have a baby?”
The question hung in the steamy air, and suddenly the bathroom was silent.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
