Chapter 76 - Wrong Embrace (1/2)

I really don't understand how someone changes their mood over a single person. We were laughing and enjoying our night, looking at the clothes in the store. Then suddenly someone comes and BOOM! My wife gets sad after seeing that person.

I don't have any rights to ask her or more like force her to confess everything. If she doesn't feel like telling me about her worries, I will just have to wait. Time will reveal all the hidden secrets of her past.

Thank goodness my past isn't that complicated and even if she wants me to tell her about my past life, I can happily chat with her on the topic.

Anyway, we returned from the clothing store. Stella didn't feel like eating so, I also didn't bothered to eat dinner outside. When we reached home, she went to the kitchen and made me a sandwich. She stayed silent after the sudden encounter with her old classmate, Vanessa . I knew, if I try to ask her about her problems or why she's upset, I won't receive any answer.

I was already worried about Adam. It was a big risk to let her work under Adam's office. But at the same time, I didn't wanna make her sad anymore. Sometimes I gotta let her do what she like even though it may harm her. At least she will know that I am not keeping her inside a cage.

Adam is out there waiting for a chance to get close with Stella. He can do shady things or much worse than my imagination. I already had so much stress over Adam and now there's this old friend of Stella, who just popped out of nowhere. Each and every day, I fight for our marriage, for our future and more unwanted people try to harm us. I hope things will get better soon.

One day had past after that incident. It was Sunday, so I planned a date. If we go out somewhere she might cheer up.

” Where would you like to have your lunch?” We were inside the car. I drove the car in the empty roads of the forest. This is the same place where we came last time. I felt that it would be the best destination for her. Our little trip was going to end as it was time for lunch. There aren't any restaurants or dinners around this area.

So we have to return to the main city for our lunch. I randomly picked a place since Stella didn't replied. We entered into the restaurant which wasn't very crowded. As the day goes by, Stella cheered up a bit. She wasn't looking gloomy like before.

But even after the whole day she didn't told me the story of her past life. Being impatient won't help me with this situation. So I waited only.

” Are you free for dinner?” She asked me with hesitation.

” Huh? I always have my dinner with you.” I got confused hearing her words.

” No, I mean, can you go out with me for dinner? ” Oh! A date. Well, that's a big surprise since she's asking me.

” Why so sudden? Did you got your paycheque?” I replied back sarcastically.

” If you want I can pay for the dinner.” Stella giggles and stares at me blankly.

” You know that's not what I meant. Okay then, I'll return home soon, then we can leave for dinner.”

” Okay.”

I was happy that she took initiative to ask me out for dinner. We can spend more time together rather than staying at home and being busy at our work. I quickly grabbed the project files and began to do my work. Soon I left from my office.

When I arrived home, Stella was already dressed. I ran into my room for changing my office attire. Since she was wearing a simple sophisticated dress, I decided to wear something plain and simple.

” Where to?” Waking down the stairs,I asked her.

” The Moonlight.”

” That's a good pick. You don't usually pick these types of restaurants.” Moonlight isn't a five star restaurant but despite of that it is very popular. Also it's kinda fancy for dinners.

” Actually I didn't picked it.”

” You didn't? Then who? Wait wait! Is someone else coming with us?”
