Hearing Xavier's morning voice made Jessica weak in her knees. She put her hands on the sink in front of her to keep her from falling. If she fell again then Xavier would make a bigger issue than yesterday. He put on a tough front but it was obvious that he was a kind man at heart. "What are you doing?" He asked again his hand going into his hair to arrange it. "I want to visit Dawson so I wanted to freshen up" Jessica responds turning to face the mirror. If she continued looking at him she might gawk at him continuously all day long. "This early?" he asked. He could not believe that someone who was barely unable to walk in the day before was now the one looking to wander all around the hospital. "Come here," he said pulling her hands and taking her with him. He was not going to allow her to wander anywhere unless the doctor said she was fine after all series of tests to be done. Jessica liked the warmth of his big hands over her tiny hands. It was like a miracle. While she date
"I am sorry," Xavier said his hand leaving her hand. The way her fist went up in a clutch he knew that he had offended her. He did not know what exactly he did but he knew he was in the wrong at that moment. "For what?" Jessica asked surprised that he was apologizing easily. She did not know how to respond to his easy apology. "I am not sure but it seems like you don't like me to refer to you as the wife or daughter-in-law of the Delgado family," Xavier said. "It is not that I don't like it or that I like it. It is that you keep saying that I am your wife but you do not even think of me as your wife and I don't like that. It is obvious for both of us that we would leave each other in eleven months so let's just live like that and follow through the contract." Jessica said in one breath. She did not know why his statement annoyed her but she was and Xavier did not know why her analysis did not sit well with him. He knew she was correct but did not appreciate her pointing it out to
Coming back in with Doctor Xavier pushes his grandfather on the wheelchair into the ward Jessica was staying in. Jessica turns when she heard the door open and sirs up straight Her eyes light up as she sets her eyes on Dawson in the wheelchair. Ever since she met him this was the first time she saw him outside of the ward. She was still planning on taking him home. "How do you feel today Mrs. Delgado? " the doctor asked rubbing the alcohol-based sanitizer before touching her. "Much better," She said. "Could you lie down for me I would like to check something" the doctor responded. Jessica nodded before laying down on her back. Xavier moved Dawson in the chair away from the door and they both waited silently at the couch area. "Your vitals are stable and I think you can be discharged this afternoon" he continued. "Thank you, doctor," Jessica said with a smile on her face. Usually, her cramps lasted three days before they finally die down, and then she would be able to do what s
"I would leave you now," Ross said. He knew it was his cue to leave hearing the anger in Xavier's voice. Everyone knew that he had quite a temper and no one was interested in cutting limes with him. Ross silently leaves the room. "What did I do so wrong this time?" Jessica asked resting her back to the bed frame and rolling her eyes. She was only looking out for Dawson she wondered why Xavier would be angry to come home and meet an empty house while his grandfather stays in boredom at the hospital. If he was at home she would keep him company before she starts her business and take him on nice dates, cook for him, and keep him company throughout the day. "He is my grandfather and I would be the one to make decisions concerning him," Xavier said his teeth gritted. He already felt abandoned by his grandfather preferring Jessica over him. Now Jessica wants to keep her nose in their business. "I thought I was a part of the Delgado family?" Jessica asked throwing back to what he had
Xavier left in a hurry because he could not stand the judging eyes of his grandfather. He told the driver to be the one to bring Jessica back home as he went back to work. Jessica had made it clear she did not want to be called a part of the family if they were going to go through with the divorce and there was no turning back for him as he had his mind set on the divorce. Dawson who was uninterested before going home decided to go home after seeing the way Xavier reacted to Jessica today. Maybe if he were home he could monitor more things than putting Roselle in charge. She has promised she would get them together on a honeymoon but had failed the whole first month of their wedding. "I am glad you decided to come home with me," Jessica said. If Dawson had insisted that he was not going to go back home with her she would have looked like a fool in the eyes of Xavier and she would have felt terrible. If she had somewhere else to go she would have gone to hide there. Since Xavier kn
Dawson had no special request so Jessica made a pan pizza and they both had it over light conversation. Dawson was exhausted from the move and change of environment so he went to bed early. Jessica waited up for Xavier because she had a lot to discuss with him. She was going to iron out all the details of her remaining time in the house. Her business, sleeping arrangement, and his meals. She had been glad to share her cooking with him but he had been too rigid to accept her. He had proven that he was just as closed off as chose to be and she was not putting herself up for heartbreak. If she continued to see him in good light she might end up falling for him and she would be hurting once again by the time she had to leave the Delgado house. She was only Delgado by paper and name. She has no relationship with them. Xavier came in as Jessica was cleaning up the table. He had been coming in early these days to eat dinner with Jessica. Seeing her clean the table sent a shock down his s
When Xavier heard that she wanted to talk about the business he felt relieved. Although the was calm, she might have been still very pissed at him. "Yes about that, I had been waiting for a new month. I would ask the realtor to come over this week and show you some properties. Choose a high-end one in a good neighborhood" Xavier said. The sigh of relief could be heard from afar. He had been vindicated. He was not in trouble at all. "Okay, I think that is fine. I would handle the interior decoration and staff hiring myself then" Jessica responded. "Let me know if you need any money or help. You can use the card I gave you for purchases" Xavier said. "I will" Jessica responded. Since she was seeing it as an investment that she would pay back she did not find it difficult to collect his money she would give the business her all and pay him back within the year. "Another thing I want to discuss is our sleeping arrangement," Jessica said. She was going to settle them all that night
Xavier had never known what it meant to be played before but he felt like he was experiencing it right hand. It felt like a betrayal. He could not believe that the first meal he seemed to enjoy she was going to take away from her. "If this concerns me shouting at you at the hospital. I already said I'm sorry" Xavier said sulking. It was the first time that Jessica saw Xavier display another emotion apart from aloofness and natural anger. "When?" she asked confused. From all she could remember she couldn't remember Xavier saying as much as a simple sorry. "You never said you were sorry" she defended. "I did not?" Xavier asked his face flushed. "Yes, you did not" Jessica responded. Maybe if she was not as angry as she was she would have not suggested having different rooms or even to scrap her making dinner for him. She loved with all her might cooking for others. "I barely apologize," Xavier said murmuring. "Very obvious," Jessica said. "You heard me?" Xavier asked shocked.
