Chapter 181 - If we are together, well survive. (1/2)

”Closing your eyes would not make your problems disappear. Just because you don't think about the lingering issues, would not make them get resolved on their own. What needed to face, had to be faced. There was no other shortcut or simple way. One needed to hold responsibility.”

Grandpa had said that to me. It was really a wonder how I would remember his teachings and words at the apt timing. They really went well with the situation around me.

My husband still held me, as if he feared I would run away. It was his natural way of holding me, one that made me want to drop my defenses.

Eshan's way of working with me, around me to make me comfortable had improved greatly over time. Now, he knew what to say and how. If he wanted to coax me, he did not need too many efforts. It would have scared me, but now it almost felt natural.

His words of not looking at him were said with so much sadness. I would have given in if I had not noticed the mischief in his eyes early. What was it there for further investigation? I knew him too well. He was pulling my leg.

I tightly closed my eyes.

”I'm sorry. Tesoro, don't behave this way. I was thinking to give you more time. Thus, I waited patiently for a while.”

My ears perked at the new piece of information. He wanted to give me time.

Half an hour? He called half an hour as giving time. Even if he gave me a week, that would not be enough. Where was his conscience? He thought half an hour was enough? God!

Hearing him I was about to go in an attacking mode. Because it sounded too ridiculous to my ears. I held back my tongue when I heard him say again. ”But with Fortune being around you... I could not sit still.”

Did he feel worried because of Fortune? All my grievances were washed down under the rain of his care. I could not hold up my guards or complaints against this man. He was too precious to get angry with.

The mention of Fortune brought me back to the happy occasion in the afternoon. The one I so desperately wanted to share with him. I had overcome my cynophobia. Under normal circ.u.mstances, he would have gotten to know it the moment he arrived. Unfortunately, things never went as planned.

Instead of me giving him a surprise, I suffered a huge shock. However, this helped to divert my attention. I struggled away from his hold.
