Reborn as the Mayor's Girlfriend

Special Chapter: Because of Her

Lennox POV

"Out of everything you've done in your life, what is your greatest achievement?"

The interviewer asked me in a very polite tone as he stared at me curiously, waiting for my answer.

But to me, I don't even need to think that deeply. I know the answer to that straight away.

"Honestly? It was meeting my wife, and having her as my life partner."

The interviewer seemed to be surprise, as he lost his composure for a bit. I guess, he must be expecting I that I would mention some policy or the other services that I've done in this country.

As he looked at me with a somehow confused gaze, I started to tell the journey that my wife and I had for the past years.

***

When I ran as a representative for our congressional district, Millen and I already had two little ones. Tarah just started elementary school while Neo was still a toddler.

It was a crucial election back then, since it was my first time running for a position outside of municipal government. Although my name was already familiar to a lot of people, it was still very risky to be overconfident.

Besides, I feel like it is my responsibility to campaign properly - by laying out the policies and platforms that I have envisioned if I was ever elected as a member of the congress.

But there she was, being the superwoman she is... she was helping me campaign properly while raising our little ones at the same time.

Even though we had house-help to aid us, we didn't want to rely fully on them. We wanted to spend time with our children, nurture them and make them feel our love. We didn't want to be too busy and eventually make them feel neglected.

Once I arrived at our home, I was going to go straight to the library area. But when I saw that the lights were still on at our room, I immediately went inside.

"You're still awake?" I asked.

Just wearing a white nightgown, she was laying down on the bed, reading research papers.

Even at this sight of her, it's still somewhat unreal to me. I could not believe that I am this lucky to have this woman as my wife.

Just by seeing her, all the headaches and problems I got earlier from work seemed to have dissipated. That's the magic that she had on me...

"Mmm. I was waiting for you." my wife murmured softly.

She placed the research papers she was reading on the bedside table and tapped the bed gently, signalling me to come over.

Without any hesitation, I laid next to her on the bed and took her in a tight embrace.

I held her tightly, nuzzling her neck. My wife's scent is really intoxicating... she smells so good and I just can't seem to get enough of her.

Just from holding her like this, I was able to get all the energy that was drained from me in the chaotic environment in work today.

"You don't have to be too tense. I'm afraid that you're overworking yourself, without knowing the limits of time and energy at all. Sometimes, you have to rest once in a while. Don't push yourself too hard." she whispered gently to my ears.

I loosened my embrace on her so I could see her properly and look at her intently at her eyes.

"You think so?" I asked seriously, my voice a bit low.
