Chapter 177 WILD TESSY
1583words
After wrestling for an hour with Jethro, finally he sent me off to my home with his driver.
Stumbling, I reach my room and watch Tessa asleep on the bed. I stare at her for a moment thinking if I should wake her up with my embrace or not.
Jethro's stern look flashes in front of my eyes and I give up the idea of going near to her, he was right I would spill something if I get near to her.
Stripping my clothes, I stagger to the washroom to take a shower.
When I stepped out of the washroom, I didn't realize that Tessy had already gone until I walked out of the wardrobe after wearing my clothes.
She enters with a tray in her hand, "I have prepared a tonic for you. You would feel bitter after drinking that so I have brought a slice of cake for you." She says indifferently and without waiting for my response she goes back to the bed and lays down to sleep.
She is unhappy.
I drank the bowl of tonic because I knew if I didn't, my stomach ache would come back in an instant.
After finishing the tonic, I also go to the bed and crawl behind her, "Tessy."
I called her out and she didn't respond although I know she isn't asleep. I turn her to me a little aggressively I guess and she gasps making my body hair stand in fear, "F**k, did I hurt you?"
"Not now, but in the morning you have hurt me," She complains, and my body tenses.
Without thinking, I blurted out, "Ann didn't want me to stay."
"You could have called me later." She makes a valid point but I can't tell her that because Ann was there the whole day. That's why I wasn't able to call her.
"You don't want this child, right?" She asks, making me stunned.
"No... That's not true." I panicked.
She takes my hand in hers, a tender action that makes me more stressed at the moment, "So, then what is it, hubby?"
And here comes her question.
I look at her fighting with my emotions, I should tell her, this is it.
Tell her our marriage is based on the contract and I never intended to fall in love with her, but I did and even knowing that your part in my life would end after a child. I still give you my child.
F**k
These words are so weird to say out loud.
And this child, the way she has been in love with this child, it forces me to think if I should regret giving her the child.
Her gaze was still on me, waiting patiently for me to open up. Hell no, Tessa I can't. Maybe I should listen to Jethro's suggestion because except for this I don't see any way of us being together in the future.
"Tessy, You love this child very much," I state, finally opening my mouth and she nods her head in agreement. See, there is not even a one-second delay from her in accepting this fact.
"More than me."
She chuckles and I know she is not listening to my damn f**king words. Come on, Tessa, take a hint.
"So, are you jealous that I would love the child more than you?" She says with a smirk.
You're not listening, Tessy. God, please listen to me.
"I... I just don't want you to get attached to the child too much... You should focus on me, Tessy. We could make more babies together, right?" And didn't you love me? I was your secret crush? So you should be with me more than this child, no?"
I tried again to explain to her. All the alcohol's effect on my brain has drowned out completely.
"You're drunk, hubby." She still doesn't take it seriously and she pulls me closer to her. "We are a family, together and forever," She kisses my cheek and then nuzzles my chest all ready to fall asleep.
Unsatisfied with her words and actions, I desperately tried again to explain her things but she sush me instantly, "Hubby, I am very tired. Let's talk about this later."
She sleeps peacefully beside me while my sleep fades away completely.
I think I should start looking for that damn contract and then destroy it instantly.
****
The next day, I call Jethro and ask him to execute the plan of stealing. I want that contract to be destroyed instantly and I'll later handle Tessa's father.
I trust Jethro, he will surely give me good news soon.
****
"What?" I yell in disbelief when Jethro provides me with a shocking piece of information.
"Yes, those contract papers aren't in her office, but safely locked in the bank, and she has two more copies safe in other places in case it gets lost or stolen." He emphasized the last word while looking at me knowingly.
"Have you found the other two places?" I ask him.
"No…" He refuses and I give him an annoying look.
"Hey, man, it's only one day, give us more time." He says defensively and I can't blame him, actually he has brought such a big piece of information and that only in just one day.
Amazing…
But I don't feel any amusement at the moment at all but anger.
"Fine, take your time," I tell him dismissively and then leave the bar with a gloomy face.
****
"I was thinking… If I should tell my mother about my pregnancy now, Ann." Tessa says suddenly when we all are seated at the dinner table.
Ann has been amazingly sweet with her, she always listens to her but just listens, she never agrees to the thing that doesn't match her satisfaction.
Just like now, I am damn sure she is going to refuse her but with love and sweetness.
Oh my fool Tessy, at least now see the reality.
"Tessa, dear, It's not a wise decision. We are not ready to expose this news to anyone. After all, I am putting so much effort to keep this news a secret. Once the baby is born, I will break this good news to everyone.
But, not now."
Woah, here comes the blunt refusal with a beautiful and wise speech.
I roll my eyes inwardly and look at Tessa, her face starts to turn red from anger and I could see she is gritting her teeth.
F**k, No Tessy.
Don't
I shout in my mind, terrified by her scary expressions.
These days, Tessy has been very excited because the child has started to kick, and it's not just a kick but lots of kicking. She keeps jumping every three or four-minute in bed whenever the child is naughty which makes her restless for the whole night.
Her excitement for the child terrifies me and I know she is dying to share this happiness and excitement with her mother but sadly, she couldn't.
Thankfully, the dinner ends in peace and Tessa grumpily walks back to the room, her belly has grown a lot and it has affected the way she walks. I could sense her anger in the way she is stomping her feet while walking.
"Pumpkin," I see her sitting on the stool and combing her hair when I enter and call her out with love.
BAM
F**k, I take a step back, Tessa has just thrown away the brush and it hits the door beside me.
What the hell?
"Pump…" I wasn't even able to complete my word when she furiously yelled at me, "I am not a pumpkin… Stop calling me that."
I was taken aback by her sudden rage, what is wrong with her?
Then without giving me a chance to speak she storms towards the bed, switches off the bedside lamp, and lays down to sleep.
I look at her, puzzled, and then cluelessly walk towards the washroom to take a shower and then sleep.
"Ahh…" I groan when Tessa mercilessly hits her elbow into my ribs when I try to pull her closer to me from behind.
What the hell is wrong with her?
She doesn't even look a slight bit remorseful from her action and turning her back at me angrily she again gets back to her sleep.
Where did my obedient and caring wife go?
Is she gone? Or possessed by a wild and furious Tessy?
F**k, where did she get this much strength, my ribs hurt like hell.
****
"F**k," I wasn't even able to run properly, my ribs still hurt with slight pain.
BAM
This is the second brush that Tessa has broken since last night. I look at her in complete shock and before I could start to talk with her to calm her, she storms out of the room to the breakfast table.
Damn. This thing can't stretch for more time, if she stays wild like this I am sure the next thing won't be a brush broken by her but my ribs.
I touch my ribs in fear.
God, Tessa has become dangerous, now.
I know Ann won't let her visit her parent's house but I can give it a try, after all, if I won't take this chance Tessy is soon going to destroy everything in her anger.
Just one visit won't be harmful to Ann, No?
I try to give myself hope and then head down to the dining table for the breakfast.
