Brian was so grateful for his perfect life that a request from Azzura shook his self-esteem. "Honey... I want you to get married again."

Brian was an ordinary guy who would probably be greedy for love, but not once did he have such thoughts. No matter how much money he had, no matter how handsome he was, he had no intention of looking at other women. Why be ambiguous if what he wants he has already gotten from Azzura. "I want you to get married again.
