Chapter 113 - New Member (1/2)

Winter is almost over. The trees have started to grow new leaves. Nature is getting dressed again. The new year kick started with such a positive vibe. Luke married Regina which was totally unexpected. They're still enjoying their honeymoon probably.

Stella joined her dad's company. She's been doing a great job handling the office. Surprisingly my father-in-law is there too help her in every step.

It was not necessary since Stella has experience. But Mr. Carlton enjoyed spending more time with his daughter.

Their broken relationship is finally mended by the time and efforts.

Both us became busy with our own work. Although the good part is, we were looking forward to seeing each other at dinner table, every single night. After having a strenuous day, the wholesome meal will help us to cleanse our weary bodies.

Just when I thought that this year couldn't get any better, spring brought a good news for me.

The first marriage anniversary is something people eagerly wait for to celebrate. I still had time to think about it, probably one month and half. The question was, should I make it extravagant or normal. It was indeed a silly confusion.

Around that time, I had to leave for a business trip. It's been a long time since I stayed apart from my wife. I usually return home within a day or two.

But this time I had to stay here for a week. On the other hand Stella's busy just like me. I can't disturb her during the work hour.

I mean, it's my wife we are talking about. She would be more delighted to see these fried chicken instead of a bouquet of flowers.

” Honey I'm home!” I ran toward her and wrapped my arms around her slender body. It feels so good to have her trapped into my embrace. I handed her the packet.

” I missed you.” Placing a soft kiss on my lips, she muttered into my ears.

” Here I got your favourite stuffs. Eat, before it gets cold.” She took out a piece of chicken inside the bag and bites a big mouthful. Her cheeks are puffed up as her mouth was full.

” mmmhh... this is good.” She was enjoying the juicy chicken until her complexion changed. She handed me the bag and ran towards the bathroom.

Oh god! Not again. Another food poisoning. It happened frequently when she eats outside without even paying attention to her health.

I try to prevent her from eating unhealthy food as much I can. Thanks to my fixed diet and health eating habits, I never had any food poisoning.

Stella returns from the bathroom. Water is dripping from her face. Now the question is, should I give her a scolding or show her pity? I guess, my absence made her go wild.

” You okay?” I asked her in a gentle manner.

” Yeah.” Her eyelids drooped.

” Stella, how many time I warned you? Stop eating unhealthy food. It'll ruin your digestive system. I think, I have been looking over this issue but today I'll give you a serious lecture.” I was worried and mad at the same time. Her skin looks pale. Maybe I should call the doctor.

” It's not food poisoning.” Her answer only made me anxious. Lots of thoughts pilled up into my head.

” Oh my god! Are you stressing over your work?” I literally shouted out. The terror overtook my face.

” God! No you dummy.” To my surprise, Stella begins to laugh. I was puzzled. She took my hand and pressed it on her stomach. Suddenly my throat became dry. This small gesture made me speechless.
