In a reflective moment during a family gathering, Aria observes the joy surrounding her seven-month-old daughter, Lily, as she becomes the focal point of attention among Jason’s relatives.

While Jason engages in family activities, Aria feels a deep sense of contentment, remembering the early days of their arranged marriage when they barely knew each other. Despite the unconventional start, they gradually built a life together, growing closer as they navigated the challenges of unexpected parenthood.

As Aria listens in on a conversation between Jason and his mother, she overhears him express heartfelt sentiments about how much Aria and Lily mean to him. This revelation comes as a surprise, as Jason, typically reserved about his emotions, articulates how Aria has transformed his life from one of carefree leisure to one filled with love and responsibility. Hearing him declare, “I wouldn’t be half the man I am without her,” fills Aria with newfound confidence about their relationship.

Despite their young marriage and initial doubts, Aria realizes that they have forged a meaningful bond, moving from strangers to partners and now parents in a whirlwind of time.

Jason’s sincere words reassure her that his feelings for her run deep, dispelling her insecurities about whether their relationship was genuine. Overwhelmed with emotion, Aria chooses to step outside, joining her family while processing this newfound understanding of her husband’s love.

Later that night, as they sit in silence at home, Jason’s concern for Aria prompts her to confess what she overheard. Jason’s acknowledgment of his feelings further solidifies the connection between them.

Determined to express her gratitude, Aria spends the next day preparing a special dinner, decorating their home with thoughtful notes expressing her love. When Jason arrives to this warm surprise, the atmosphere is filled with affection and appreciation.
