She Proposed Marriage to Silent Rancher to Stop Her Aunt—He Said Yes Before She Finished Asking

Chapter 13

Their first child was born the following year.

A daughter.

Elias held the baby carefully.

Clara watched him.

“You’re afraid.”

“Yes.”

“You?”

He nodded.

“She’s so small.”

Clara laughed.

“You were brave enough to marry me.”

“That was different.”

“How?”

“I already knew you.”

She smiled.

The years that followed brought more children.

More work.

More laughter.

The ranch became noisy.

The silent rancher became a father.

And Clara realized she had never seen Elias happier.
