Chapter 91 - Calm days before the Storm (2/2)

Hearing his words, Francesca slowed down eating. She felt embarrassed. Tasting the good foods again, made her forget about everything. You could say that she had starved herself for many months. Now that heaven landed in front of her, she can no longer resist.

Alex chuckled at the scene. He then took out his handkerchief and cleaned off the sauce on the side of her mouth. This action made Francesca paused and look at him.

”You're like a kid as always. Slow down and properly taste the food. No one will try to steal them away from you.” Alex smiled as he cleaned her face.

Francesca's heartfelt a stinging pain. She clenched her hands, trying to hold back her tears. But  someone will steal you away from me if I let it be. She silently said to herself.

Instead of crying, she smiled at Alex. ”I can just let you take care of me then. A kid like me, can't be left alone.”

Alex stopped his hand and look into her eyes. Somehow, he could feel that there were hidden meanings to those words. Is she still planning to kill herself after this, if he left her be? He could not let this happen. He would have to ask James to get someone watch out for her since he can't always be there for her.

”As long as you behave.” He casually answered, not daring to promise anything.

Francesca's smile then widen. To hear even those words, she felt enthusiastic about her future. As long as she can get her husband back and to cancel their divorce, she would do everything to please him. She would resign on her father's company and become Alex's trophy wife. She would stay home and wait for him to get back from work. She would take care of the house and cook food for him.

She had this kind of thoughts, as she continued to eat. Seeing her in a good mood, Alex sighed in relief. Still, he wanted a Psychologist to take a look. To do this, he needs her approval.

”Francesca, I still worry about you. I want a Psychologist to take a look, would that be fine with you?” Alex was used to asking permission from her so that it would not lead to a fight. Asking her like this, he sounded natural but was nervous inside. Calling a Psychologist only meant one thing, there is something wrong with your brain.

He didn't want her to think that his thoughts were like that. So he instantly added, ”I just want you to be safe. I don't want to see you like this again.”

Hearing his words filled with worry, Francesca smiled. The way he carefully said his thoughts, made her felt uneasy. It was as if Alex didn't want to step on a land mine and was carefully trying to invade them. Did she really wrong him? For him to act like this? She felt extremely guilty inside that she could only nod in response. Before, her heart was unable to comprehend her actions. Now, she could only lament that these results were due to her negligence.

Seeing her easily agree on it, Alex sighed in relief. Luckily, he caught his wife in a good mood today.
