Chapter 81
Carden walked through the same hallway of their modern Spanish-style mansion. After days of trying to calm himself and work better than before, his father finally called him.
It was not like a call for a father who feels misery towards a son who left home but one who feels mad and impatient.
His footsteps were slow and gentle, his face was calm, but his chest was already pounding loud. It was too hard like someone was punching it over and over again and wanted him to stop and come back to his office.
It was lunchtime. He used to spend this short break to talk about little things with Dalmi but ever since that scenario, he decided to prove his father wrong.
He didn't want to hear any false accusations from his father. The thought that he said his wife was the reason behind his slacking offended him to ways he couldn't explain.
Was it too much to enjoy the company of his wife and let her feel the love she needed and deserved?
Carden's eyes changed from happy to sorrowful. His smile slowly faded, and his hand on her waist loosen a bit.He could see from her eyes the weariness and pain she had to go through because of his schedule; it sent knives stabbing through his already pained heart.Was he that busy that he never realized he lacked as her husband?His lips trembled. He raised his hand and slowly trailed it to her soft cheek. Dalmi could feel the warmness of his calloused hand, but all she could feel right now was coldness."I…" Carden's voice broke. He swallowed hard, hoping that the lump in his throat would be removed, but the corners of his eyes heated as he felt Dalmi's agony."Did I make you feel like I
Carden’s hand trembled when he read the label of the supplement. Why does she have vitamins for pregnancy?“Carden!” Dalmi's surprised voice rang behind him, causing him to let go of the bottle. His eyes watched how it fell to the floor and stop at the carpet. “W-what are you…”Dalmi’s voice broke and her eyes widened when she saw the bottle. She nervously shifted her gaze to his husband as her face turned crimson. Her heart jolted in a daze as she walked towards his feet where the supplement fell and pick it in a hurry.“What is that?” The man couldn’t stop himself from asking. Colors ran out of his wife’s face, and her lips quivered as she glued her eyes on her feet.Carden didn’t want to conclude immediately, but was his wife pregnant? Why? How?How could she be pregnant when she married an infertile man?He was perplexed and hurt. Did his wif
Dalmi wiped her tears away when. She didn’t know how long she sat on the carpeted floor, questioning herself why did this happen to them when they were just fine earlier when she remembered that she had a child in her womb and it will not be good for her.She pulled herself up, only to feel the numbness of her legs, and sat back to her position earlier. She closed her eyes, her arms massaged her legs, as though it’d help ease the pain from staying there for so long.The master’s bedroom was usually cold and quiet, but it never felt lonely. Ever since they shifted here from her bedroom, she never felt sad even when Carden doesn’t come home often these past few weeks because she knew they were alright and he was just busy. But right now, it was different.Her husband was angry at her for a reason she wasn’t sure of. She hid her pregnancy for him, but she didn’t know why she felt something different towards his
“Why the hell would you say that?!” The man suddenly burst and stood up with his bloodshot eyes staring intently at her. Dalmi’s eyes widened when the man yelled at her. Her heart pounded widely and the corners of her eyes heated from unshed tears. “C-Carden what are you-“ “Does it sound so easy for you that you could demand just like that, huh?” He struck his hands on the table, making her jerk from her position and close her eyes from surprise. She bit her lips, unable to reply to him in fear that he might get angrier.Carden, on the other hand, breathed fast as he stared at the woman with anger in his eyes. How could this woman talk to him like she didn’t do something bad behind his back? She didn’t even know how to distance herself and consider his pain! At this point, she should be ashamed for going here and act like everything was fine when it’s not! “Do you even know how hard it is for me
BBAP CHAPTER 86 Casimir brought Dalmi into a public place. She could hear the noises from some people who re eating here when they entered, but when she said those words, it felt like everything was silent that it hurt her ear. Even the man who kept on asking her about how she had been was now gaping at her.
CHAPTER 87After what Carden did to her, Dalmi still couldn’t stop herself from waiting for him until she fell asleep. It was in the middle of the night, the whole room was already quiet and dark when the woman woke up from a deep slumber. She heard the sound of the opening of the door. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the built of his husband standing in front of their doorway.“Carden,” she called and pulled herself up. The man was leaning the side of his body to the doorway and stared at her for seconds before he walked towards the couch attached to the same wall in her door with his limp legs.Dalmi’s feet landed flatly on the carpeted floor. She slowly plodded towards her husband with a worried gaze. The foul smell of too much alcohol invaded her nose, making her step back a little and pinch her no
CHAPTER 88“I said I don’t want to say you! Can’t you just stay inside your room when I am here?!”Dalmi jolted back and closed her eyes when the man yelled. It was a Sunday morning and Dalmi woke up early so she could prepare something for her husband. She usually does this every day, but the man didn’t want to see her so she purposely wakes up earlier than him so when the man wakes up and goes out of his room, he’d just eat and Dalmi was inside hers.It was the same thing she expected today, but she was also shocked that the man was drinking water in the kitchen when she arrived, and now, he instantly got angry and threw the glass o the floor.Her heart pounded wildly from both fear and pain. Her legs
Carden stomped his feet against the tiled floor of their living room. His legs spread widely on the sofa, his arms across his chest, and his face in a frown. At this time, he was usually outside, hanging out with his friends with a beer in his hand but right now, he decided to stay at home and try to watch what was his wife doing whenever he was not there. He thought, the woman was just avoiding him and she locked herself to her room but it had been hours and she hasn’t come out yet. Earlier, he went towards her room. It may be unnoticeable, but when his wife was not in front of him, he still feels the care and love towards her. There are times where he missed talking to her and cooker for her, that was why he woke up earlier to cook for breakfast and leave it until she arrives but when he saw the woman awake at the same time, he came back to reality. Whenever he would see the bump in her stomach, he’d instantly be reminded about how the woman cheated on him
