A month ago, I married a beautiful masseuse who had been divorced before and is eight years younger than me. On our wedding night, she said there was something she needed to tell me. I said we are already husband and wife, just say it. But when she finished, I broke out in a cold sweat.

That night, the light was soft, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes somewhat hesitant. I held her hand and said softly, 'Don't be afraid, whatever it is, we'll face it together.' She took a deep breath and said, 'Actually, my previous marriage ended because of some... some very complicated reasons. My ex-husband was a bit troublesome.'
I frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and said with a smile, "As long as you are by my side now, the past is in the past. We will be fine, don't worry." She nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, but I knew it wasn't that simple.
The next day, I went to the company, but my mind was still on the topic of last night. When I was working, my colleagues noticed that I was absent-minded and asked if there was something bothering me. I smiled and waved my hand: 'It's nothing, just some family trivial matters.' They didn't ask much, just reminded me to take a rest.
A few days later, I received a call from an unknown number. The person on the other end claimed to be her ex-husband and spoke in a hostile tone, saying that she owed him a lot of money and asked me to help her repay it. I chuckled and said, 'I'll handle her affairs, but don't even think about harassing us again.' After hanging up, I immediately called her to ask about her ex-husband's situation.
She nervously told me that her ex-husband had been harassing her from time to time, claiming that she owed him money. After listening to her story, I decided to personally meet with her ex-husband to settle the matter.
The meeting place was chosen to be a crowded café. As soon as I walked in, I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, looking unfriendly. I walked over and sat down, going straight to the point: 'Are you looking for my wife?' He sneered, 'She owes me money, and you have to help her pay it back. Otherwise, I have ways to make things difficult for you.'
I looked at him and calmly said, "How much do you want?" He opened his mouth wide and reported a number. I frowned and stood up, "I can give you this money, but if you dare to harass her again, I will make you regret it." His expression became somewhat surprised, not expecting me to be so decisive.
After returning home, I told her that the matter had been resolved. She looked at me gratefully, tears in her eyes, and said, 'Thank you, you're always so decisive.' I smiled and gently stroked her head, 'We are husband and wife, I won't let anyone hurt you.'
Days pass by, and our feelings grow deeper. I found out that she's not only pretty, but also has a kind and gentle side. Every day when I come back home, she prepares meals for me. Once, she asked me why I'm treating her so well, and I smiled and said, 'Because you're my wife, I have the responsibility to protect and love you.'
She nestled in my arms and whispered, "I'm really lucky to have met you." I held her tightly, feeling full of happiness. Although our lives occasionally encounter setbacks, we always support each other and trust each other.
