Chapter 20 - 20. SECRET 7... (2/2)

When he entered their bedroom, Veronica was already done with her bathing and was combing her hair then. Reuben slowly walked towards her and kept the glass on the dressing table, as he took the comb from Veronica's hand and signaled her to drink.

Veronica smiled at him and didn't argue with him, as she quickly gulped down the drink while Reuben was combing her hair gently as like she was some porcelain doll.

Having completed the drink, she turned her body towards Reuben and hugged him by his waist whereas her face rested on his lower abdomen. ”Thanks honey, you always take care of me.”

Veronica was very happy as she knew that even after his heavy workload in the office, when he came back to their home, the first thing he decided to do was to make her a drink of Brown sugar. He knew that she really had to suffer a very bad period crumps for these five days, so he personally made it for her. He really cares for her the most.

Reuben smiled and kissed the top of her head affectionately and pleaded to her, ”Baby, now don't give me a boner. You know that I can't take you right now.. that's why you are teasing me.”

Veronica chuckled at his comment and got up from the stool. She quickly gave him a peck on his lips and told him to freshen up. She then headed downstairs to the kitchen with the empty glass. When she was done washing the glass, she quickly made some quick yet warm dinner.

When Reuben couldn't find her in their room after his bath, he came downstairs and the first thing he saw was, Veronica arranging the dinner table with various dishes.

After placing all the dishes on the table, she finally saw Reuben and noticed anger on his face. She exactly knew what was his anger about.

”Honey, I just cooked some dishes.. I didn't do any other chores. So don't be angry and come let's eat.”

Reuben didn't move from that place and said coldly, ”Aren't you having crumps? I know it's quite painful, so why were you in the kitchen, cooking all these?”

Veronica went towards him and said pitifully by holding his hands, ”It's alright baby. It doesn't hurt much after I drink that mixture. Or don't you want to eat my cooking?” Tears filled in her eyes as she said that.

Sighing deeply, he kissed her forehead and wiped away the tears that were threating to fall from her eyes. He very well knew that it was her acting to pursue him but he couldn't do anything, as he couldn't bear to see her tears, even though it was fake. Veronica happily pulled him to the dining table and after the dinner, they both slept peacefully in each other's arms.
