Chapter 81 - Missing Wife (1/2)

Our new couple was busy, having their little fight. The food was getting cold. Although rest of us were enjoying a peaceful dinner. My wife began to worry since two of them weren't coming back.

” We should call them back. The food will be cold.” Stella mutters in my ear.

” If you say so. But to be honest, I rather finish my plate before Luke barge in here to ruin the mood.” With a soft chuckle, I stated out.

” Jeez! Don't be so mean. Go call them back.”

” Yes mam!” I got up from my seat and went to check on them. The door was locked from inside. Oh boy! Don't tell me, they're having sėx now. Like a nosey person, I laid my ear to the door, trying to listen what was going on inside.

All I could hear was the mȯȧns.

I rolled my eyes, leaving the place instantly. All the eyes focused on me as I walked inside the dining table.

” Where are they?” Stella asked me with a frown.

” Uhh.... They're kinda busy. Let's not disturb them.”

Stella understood my words. She didn't bother to continue further. Later on Luke and Regina retuned and Stella served them the food after heating it.

Everyone was ready to leave. We had a great time, unfortunately Luke had to suffer some beating. Well, it was his own fault to begin with. Stella and I went the the door to see them off.

” I'm not visiting you guys again.” Luke whɨnėd while pouting at us.

” Yeah sure. Don't ever come here.” I replied with a smirk.

” Bye guys!” Neil left with Ray. Poor Regina had to drag Luke to the car. He was not ready to finish his argument with me. No matter how hard he tries I'm not willing to show him any sign of guilt or sympathy.

As they drove away, we went to our room for sleep. The sleepless body of mine laid on the bed. My eyes were open. I was not ready to fall asleep. Perhaps I had few questions and thoughts in my mind.

” You're awake?” I muttered softly. My intention was not to wake her up if she was already fast asleep.

” Mhmm. What's the matter?” She told me in a sleepy voice.

” It may be bit early but what's you thought on having kids?” Her eyes were opened wide. She looked sleepy no more.

” I haven't really thought of it. I mean it's not even a year since we got married. Then my job's also there. I'll have to quit my job if I get pregnant.” I realised that she wasn't feeling comfortable with the topic. If I drag this conversation any longer, we will surely end up having a fight. My confidence faded into the air, making me feel awkward.

” Relax honey. I was just asking your opinion. Of course it's too early for us to have a kid. I'm mostly busy and you also have a career now.” She smiled a little but I felt it was being forced. It seems that Stella is not happy thinking about our kids.

Maybe she's worried because she will have to leave her job. I did gave her the freedom to have her own life and be what she want. I want her to be happy. That's why I can't do anything which will snatch away her happiness.

Touching her rosey cheek, I softly rubbed it with my hand to soothe her. ” Let's sleep.” I murmured on her face and we went back to our slumber.

Once again the Monday came. We went for our work as usual. Last time I had lost a very crucial meeting thanks to Vanessa. But after pleading them again, they finally decided to arrange another conference. The meeting went good. It was around lunch time. I was about to call Stella and my phone rang up.

” Is this some sort of telepathy? I was about to call you now.”

” Hmmm... Maybe.” Stella giggled merrily and so did I. She stopped then continued to talk

”One of my colleague is giving us a party for his birthday. Do you mind if I go there?” I can feel the fear and anxiety from her words. Maybe she wasn't confident that I'll give her the permission.

” Sure. Go have fun.” I kept the reply short. My past reactions may have put a negative impression on her. But honestly it was out of my concern only. I'm not going to keep her in a cage like her father. She is old enough to do what she wants. I just have to be there when ever she needs my help.
