Chapter 86 PRECIOUS GIFT
1333words
Well, he should, after all, this is such a childish behavior of Ann. This behavior doesn't suit her at all. I am so so disappointed in her… I just can't tell.
The time seems to freeze for me, I keep waiting for the clock to strike 7 so that I would be able to see my husband, I haven't even greeted him in the morning either. The clock strikes 7 and I rush down to the ground floor, Miss Celine opens her mouth to stop me when she sees me walking over but I simply ignore her and then sit on the sofa.
"Miss, please go back to your room, I will call you when the dinner will be served." She says nervously and I frown badly. "This is my home, Miss Celine… I am allowed to sit anywhere I want." I snap at her in anger and there I hear the sound of the car horn. Yeah, my husband is here.
I walk quickly to the door and then wait for my husband to show up, after a few seconds I hear the footsteps and see my husband walking inside, he stops when he notices me and then with a wide smile he walks over to me.
"Hey…" He habitually wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me lightly, I was angry and desperate but when I get embraced in his warmth, every emotion leaves my body as all I could feel is his warmth and peace of mind. I lean my head on his chest and hug him tightly, "I miss you, hubby." I tell him.
"I too miss you a lot." He says while kissing my hair. His words warm my heart. I pull back my head from his chest and then ask nervously, "Did you talk to Ann?"
He looks at me for a second and then shakes his head in disapproval, "She won't listen… In a few days, everything will be better, Tessy." He says as he holds my face and as he leans down to kiss me, I push him away, frustrated.
"I don't care if she listens or not, I am going to sleep in my room tonight," I tell him stubbornly.
"Tessy…" He try to convince me but I am pissed and he could see that "Tessy if you do any stupidity, remember I won't support you in anything that would go against Ann." He says in a warning and I feel hurt and disappointed. He just cares for Ann can't he see what she is doing is a completely wrong and unnecessary thing?
Suddenly, I feel a burst of emotion surging in my heart and my eyes start to fill with tears, I feel heaviness in my chest and anger too, I then stomp my foot angrily and breathe, "Fine." And then I run back inside the mansion, I hear my husband cursing and then following me.
I quickly get into the elevator and somehow he notices my crying face. I could see the guilt in his eyes but ignoring that I press the third-floor button.
Before the door separates us both, he gets succeeds to enter the elevator and then the door closes.
F**k
I turn around from him crying heavily, He has always disappointed me and he always chose others over me. What place do I have in his life exactly? I am confused.
Instead of saying anything to me, Andrew hugs me from behind making me stunned. He puts his head on my shoulder and then whispers slowly, "Don't cry, Tessy."
I get angry at his words and strike him angrily with my elbow trying to get free from his grip but surprisingly his grip stays tight on me and he doesn't even show any displeasure when I struggle in his arms to get free. He stays calm and quiet.
The door opens with a DING and he takes me to my room on Ann's floor. Once we are inside he locks the door and then asks me to sit.
I obey and then look at him coldly, "What?"
He kneels beside me and then holds my hand, "Tessy, please don't force me with the things that are out of my hands." He says the helplessness in his voice is visible.
"I am your wife, I am carrying your child, hubby… I don't think it's fair to let anyone decide our life. Can't you see how foolish it is what Ann is doing…" I tell him and his brows furrowed in disagreement.
"Tessy, I can't make Ann unhappy. And I don't want you to disobey her in any way." He says and I look at him, stunned.
"So, you mean it is fair for us to stay like this because Ann wants us to?" I ask, displeased, my blood again starts to boil. He looks reluctant but still, he nods his head in response which makes me shockingly surprised.
"So, you mean we should stay apart for as long as she wants us, right?" I ask him, Somehow I am not able to let go of this topic and compromise silently as I always did in the past.
"Yes, Tessy." He says, crushing my all hopes.
"Yes, what?" I ask him in a hoarse voice.
"If Ann doesn't want us to stay together, then we won't. If Ann doesn't want us to see each other then we won't. We won't do anything that will hurt Ann. Remember, she is the one because of which you are here now, sitting in front of me carrying my child." He says in a serious tone and I feel so hurt by his words that I wasn't even able to form any words.
So it was only me who had issues with Ann's decision, Andrew is totally fine with it, and why I am here reacting so loudly at Ann's decision when my husband doesn't want to stay with me then why I am reacting to this thing. It doesn't matter to him so it shouldn't bother me too.
With a heavy heart and a lump in my throat I was able to form a single word, "Okay."
"Okay?" He looks at me, amused, not believing that I had surrendered to him so easily. He looks at my face for a second, and when he is sure that I am serious about it he lets out a breath of relief and then with a smile he kisses my knuckles.
"Thanks, Tessy."
I am not able to say anything as I just nod my head at him emotionlessly and then stand up to leave, he didn't stop me but instead, he follows me quietly. We meet Ann when we leave the room and Ann looks displeased by Andrew's presence beside me but I really don't care. I feel so tired from this brother and sister's unnecessary drama that I don't even bother to glance at them as I leave the floor quietly.
I ask Miss Celine to serve my dinner, I don't have any appetite but still for my baby I try to eat some food.
After a while, Ann and Andrew join me, I completely ignore them as I quickly finish my dinner and then walk back to my room on Ann's floor.
My phone keeps ringing at night but I ignore it completely. I got multiple messages from my husband too but I don't bother to check them at all.
If the things about us don't bother him so then why should I bother myself? I had lived on my own in this mansion before, and surely I can survive now too. And this time I am not really alone but this time I am blessed with my child, thankfully.
In all these weird circumstances, I am glad that God has blessed me with such a precious gift, my true blessing, my child.
