Chapter 28 - Her First Love (2/2)

”Not that I know of. Why?” Alex rubbed his chin, puzzled to where is April's thoughts heading.

”How come he knew about women clothing that much? Is he married?” April sat on the bed, as her hand looked at the clothes that she will be using for this weekend.

”Nope”. Alex chuckled. James was about his age, yet he wasn't married yet.

”Dating?” April didn't gave up.

”Nope”.

”Ahh. I know. Did you ask him to buy clothes for her before?” April's hand stop. Even though her voice sounded enthusiastic, her mind wasn't.

”Her? You mean..?” Alex's brows lift up. He finally caught on to her thoughts. It was about his wife.

”Yes, her. Did you?” April took a deep breath and looked back to Alex.

Alex sat down beside her and held her waist. ”To be honest, I haven't been able to buy her anything except during an occasion. Even then, she has to pick her own gift. She didn't trust my judgement, I guess. Even If I wanted to, she would not accept it.” Alex shrugged his shoulders. Thinking about it, it did seems odd. It should've been normal for him to give something to his wife. Yet the lather prefers to choose it herself.

When they started dating, she already made it a law. That she won't accept anything, unless there was an occasion.

April's brows furrowed, what kind of woman was Francesca? Not that April was into Alex's wallet, The wife still should've accepted his gifts. The more she heard about their marriage, the more April was confused. Are they not happy with each other?

Seeing her puzzled look, Alex chuckled. ”I told you, don't worry about her or me. All I want to do for now, is to be able to spend my time with you.” Alex kissed her forehead.

April closed her eyes. Those words did wonders to her heart. It was currently leaping for joy.

”Alex. I want to tell you something.” April's eyes remained close.

”Hmm?” Alex looked at her, wondering where she was going now.

”It's about that night, when we conceived Sky.” April gulped. She was too happy right now and this secret was the only thing that she was guilty of.

April wanted to be be honest with Alex, She didn't want it to be a cause of an argument later. Loving Alex was the most selfish thing she had ever done.

”What about it baby? And why aren't you looking at me?” Alex's brows crossed.

”I want to tell you this because I want to be with you. I'm afraid that looking at you, won't help me say it.” April lowered her head.

Alex didn't replied, letting her freely speak her mind. He was getting slightly nervous and curious. Hearing her say that she wanted to be with him, made him feel warm inside.

”Alex, I love you.” April whispered, her hand clenched at her dress. Her eyes were beginning to water.
