Sweetheart Made Me Cross Exploding Fire, I Pushed Husband

We went back to Alfred's hometown for the wedding, and his parents had set a fire pit at the door.

"An outsider who wants to enter this house has to step over the fire pit."

"It burns away the bad luck from your side and a girl's pride, so you'll settle down and live a proper life."

I was furious, and without a second thought I meant to refuse.

But my husband, Alfred Edwards, took my hand and begged me.

"I had Julia set up this fire pit specially. There's no open flame at all. Just lift your feet and step over it."
