Chapter 187 - Didnt seem like you two love each other. (2/2)

I wondered if he ever realized what his cold attitude towards me doing to me?

Was it even possible?

I lowered my gaze to conceal the thin layer of tears formed in my eyes until I fought them off and grabbed control of emotions.

”Are you okay?” Ayesha asked me, to which I just nodded.

”I am fine. You two sit and enjoy. I'll quickly get breakfast ready.” I purposely avoided looking at Eshan. Not that he was looking at me anyway.

”Ayesha, you sit. I've some important emails to reply to. I'll be back in a while.”

I did not know how much Ayesha could figure out from his tone, but I, for the one, knew he was off. So was I though.

But why the sudden change of attitude?

He was just giggling, laughing, and... enjoying with his best friend until the knife sliced through my skin. He was laughing like that... after so long.

'You no longer are capable of giving him any happiness, Innaya. You no longer are.' My heart sank at the realization. I picked up the knife again, resuming cutting onions. I shifted the onions to one side before I took some green chilies to cut, completely ignoring that Ayesha was still standing near me until she initiated a conversation.

Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to having one but nonetheless, I had to have one for she was 'his' friend.

”For how long you two have been married?”

My hands continued working and I remained visibly calm when in fact, I was frowning from inside. Did he not tell her? What were they even talking for the past two hours?

'Stop it, Innaya. Just stop doing it.' It seemed like I would have to remind myself not to let myself feel that weird emotion people often termed jealousy.

”You two had an arranged marriage, I am sure.”

She passed a comment when I did not reply to her earlier. I didn't mean to do that though. I was just lost in my thoughts but the recent statement she had just made... kind of offended me. It didn't seem to be said with a good intention to me.

I poured a little oil in a pan and as I waited for it to get heated, I gave a bit of my time to Ayesha. ”What made you assume that?” At that moment,

I did not care if I sounded rude. Not that she was being too sweet to me anyway.

”Didn't seem like you two love each other.”
