Caleb POV

“Sir, the documents you requested are already here.”

I pulled away from Cassy to answer my assistant, Gordon’s, phone call.

“Okay. Wait for me at the office. I will be there in a while.”

Cassy looked at me after I casually put the phone back in my pocket.

“You have to go.” She told me.

My heart constricted when I detected a hint of longing from her voice. It made me want to stay.

I watched when Cassy stood from the couch and walked nonchalantly to her desk.

She folded her legs and propped one knee on the seat of her swivel chair before carefully scanning the documents on her table, perusing them.

Reluctantly, I pulled my gaze back to look at my watch.

“Yeah. I have to go. I have a meeting in a while. It will be done by lunch.”

“So?” She inquired, still not looking at me.

I smiled. My wife does not want me to go. I thought to myself.

Slowly, I walked until I reached her desk to grab her by the waist before turning her body around to face me.

Some were in the playground, while others waited on the benches facing the playground. Our children occupy one of the benches.Their teacher sat with them while they waited for us outside. She and her brother were sitting on a bench. Oakley swung her legs back and forth in impatience.

If he had not teased me and chased after me all over the house, we would not be this late. Caleb roared back in laughter. The man sure looked happy. Who wouldn’t when he had me i

    Cassy POVDuring the party, I could feel that something was bothering Caleb. It's not that I was suspecting him of anything. It was more like I was just puzzled at the antsy behavior. From time to time, he would leave me to talk on the phone, and my lips formed a straight line in displeasure. I am sure it was business, but can’t he postpone business for a while to enjoy the children’s party?“You look lonely, babe. Where is your husband?” Reynold approached me when he noticed I was standing alone in the corner, watching the event while my husband was out of sight. Caleb just stepped out of the room, purportedly to answer Gordon’s call, and it is honestly pi*sing me off. I shrugged my shoulders and looked murderous. The day began magnificently. Caleb and I rose before dawn and tiptoed our way to the twins' bedroom to spruce it up with birthday decor. We wanted to surprise the twins, and we did!The smile on their faces was priceless. Caleb and I could not contain our tears whe

My two best friends arrived, and I immediately snaked an arm around Cassy’s waist when I noticed Greg smiling at her. I still hadn’t forgotten what he told me before - that he had a crush on my wife. Cassy was surprised but did not remove my arms around her waist while we talked to my best friends. This alone made me shoot Greg a gloating look. If I didn’t need them for my proposal later, I wouldn’t have invited them, especially Greg, but they are the only people I could rely on.A crowd gathered around us, and my two best friends entertained them, allowing Cassy and I to extricate ourselves from the circle to welcome Adam and Cassy’s friends as they trickled in one by one.
