Chapter 166 - Oh! My wife thinks – (1/2)

|Innaya|

”I don't want to go.”

I failed to suppress the smile bubbling on my lips as Eshan made that puppy face. Since the time we returned from the morning walk, he was whining like a child. He said he didn't wish to go to work, leaving me alone. For whatever reason he had that thought, I knew agreeing with him wouldn't do me any good.

His flirting would always render me speechless with embarrassment. Even in the morning, his way of showing off before that woman had shocked me. Who knew he could be that upfront before strangers as well. When we were walking back, he told me that he did not know her. Her sudden appearance had shocked him, thus he had failed to retort timely.

”Eshan, stop sulking like a child. You aren't small anymore.”

”Oh. My wife thinks –”

”Stop.” I covered his mouth by placing my hand. My eyes had widened already. I didn't want to listen to him sprouting any more nonsense.

”Here is your lunch. Please, look at the clock and get going,” I rushed to say as I hurriedly pushed the bag with his lunch toward him.

Instead of responding, Eshan's lips curved in a smile under the skin of my palm as his hands slithered forward pulling me. My other hand landed on his chest to support myself from falling headfirst on his chest.

'What the!'

Eshan, however, did not give me any chance to think anything further as he did something outrageous I would have never imagined. I instantly pulled my hand from his lips back as if burned. I stared at him incredulously.

Had he gone insane?

My eyes alternated between my palm and his mouth. His mouth curled in a smirk and then a full-blown smile blossomed on his pink lips, showing his pearly white teeth. For a moment, my heart had frozen watching him. Why did it felt so refreshing?

When Eshan chuckled, breaking my reverie, I found myself blushing under his playful gaze. I had almost forgotten about how he had licked my palm that was preventing him from speaking anything.

Averting my eyes, I tried to make my face stern. However, I failed so miserably. I could not bring myself to stop from turning red.

”Ah!” Eshan sighed loudly.

It just made me feel like digging a hole and bury myself in it when Eshan's fingers found their way across my neck. I was not a ticklish person, but his fingers leisurely skimming across my skin made tingles shot over my skin.

I wanted to raise my head and take a look at why was he sighing. I did not know if I was able to handle the emotions swirling in his eyes.

”Now, I seriously don't want to go.” Eshan lamented again, successfully breaking through my shyness.

I slightly shoved his chest, narrowing my eyes.

”Stop dawdling. Go,” I said, pushing at his chest.

Eshan reluctantly pulled his hands away. If he wanted to hold me, I knew no amount of protest would be able to stop him. His stepping back on his own meant he was exercising self-restraint and dropping the topic.

”I'll see you in the evening. Take care.” Quickly leaning further, he placed a lingering kiss on my forehead and left without a backward glance.

I sighed watching his departing figure. He truly was a different man.
