"Too many questions." Edward said and held her hand in his. He was a bit unsure of her reaction, whether she would let him hold her or not, but his uncertainty went down when he felt her relax in his hold. She went silent tooz like she was basking in the comfort that came with him holding her hand. "Masky daddy loves Andrea and Andrea loves masky daddy too." Eve said as she watched what they were doing. Andrea felt her eyes flutter open.*What does this kid know about love?" She wondered because she was sure that they were only taught about how God loves them.*So how..?*"How did you know that?" Edward found himself asking and Andrea gave him a hard stair only to notice his deep blush. *Does he really love me?* She found herself asking herself before little Eve's voice broke her out of her trance. Edward on his end immediately frowned, because he could feel the attention that she was giving him and he was loving it. But when he heard what eve had to say next, he didn't think h
Little Eve looked mischievous as she watched them argue and play around in the car. And the couple maintained this mood till they got to their destination.In fact, Andrea was still laughing by the time Drake's mom ushered them in and she had forgotten about her nervousness about meeting her. They were treated well and Andrea was busy talking about her walk life with the Larson's and how she was grateful to Leonard for getting her the job.Things were a little awkward after that, because Drake's didnt know know how to break it to her that her husband was the president. She kept stuttering on her words until it was time for them to have lunch. Which was very light-hearted and surprising to Andrea.Eve managed to get on Drake's mom's good side even though they had started off with a little scolding after Andre toled her about her weak body. But now, little eve had managed to secure a seating space beside Drake's mom and since Drake's dad was not in the country.And now that they ha
And just like that, he had continued since they were very much younger till he was caught in the trap by the forces against Andrea. The ones who had made sure that she lived far from her parents so that they would be the heir to the throne instead of the real princesses. But then Edward had gotten to know about it and rescued him.They were talking about it and Drake was being his usual self when they got interrupted. Because it was then that Edward's phone rang. A call from his immediate subordinate on with a burner phone, and he knew immediately that it was something that to do with andrea. He just didn't know what, so he took a few seconds to guess what news his subordinate brought, but he really couldn't come up with anything."Eve?" He asks as soon as he picks the call. That was his last and only guess and his subordinate gives him a reply that makes him smirk. He proceeds to give Edward the details of the confirmation that eve is Andrea's sister. "You mean they are siste
"What have you done to her?" Someone screamed and he got on his defenses immediately."Nothing!" And he had to go back and forth explaining everything that ensued between them till the garden. Andrea on the other hand was very shaky from everything and Edward had to hold her in his hand as they rested in the living room while little eve slept in her room.Although the room Drake's mom had prepared for little eve was large enough to for ten people to move around without bumping into eachother, the doctor had insisted that they leave her to herself so she could get enough ventilation. It had so turned out that Drake's mom personal doctor was coming in for her regular check up since it was the weekend.And she had requested a personal stay at hom children's doctor while eve stayed with them.And they so happened to come just the time that they were needed. Andrea's shivering came downshiryky after and she stood up from Edward's side. ' Whamere are you going?" Edward asked as he stoo
And all the time at that, but he understood that she needed her space and must feel suffocating if he was always around her, so he relaxed in his seat and thought about the incident from that morning. Packing up wasn't so stressful, because he had other people do the work. And the part where he had to work, he loved. And this was in the car on their way from their new house to his mother's house.Edward couldn't help but think about how much fun he had and how much he loved listening to her voice when she laughed. Although he was always one to enjoy his space and in fact demand for it in the most ridiculous of situations, but things were just too different with Andrea around. And he giggles from little Eve, he just loved how it sounded in his ears and he couldn't help but have a little him and Andrea running around the house.The good mood and everything just put him in the mood to ask Andrea when they would consummate their marriage, but they got to their destination before he c
"I should have let you die and let your body get splattered around the car with bombs strapped all over your body, I'm really sorry for doing it." Edward said. He made it look like he had committed a grave offense. His expression was so serious and he squeezed his eyebrows so he managed to look guilty. Even though he wasn't. He was simply having fun and watching his half brother's horror filled face. He could see that Drake was reliving those moments but just then, he couldn't bring himself to give that attention.The moment when he got captured by the other force and was beaten till he passed out. He knew it was petty, but he wanted to get back at Drake for being unreasonable, so he pushed on. "No." Drake suddenly said in a whisper. He seemed to be in a daze as though his eyes were staring right ahead, Edward could tell that he could barely register what he was seeing. "No no no." He continued to repeat the word like someone who had just woken up from a nightmare.And Edwar
"What are you thinking about?" Andrea said just in time with Edward. "For how long have you been here?" Edward's sentence clashed with Andrea's which was quite funny and thus reduced the awkwardness between the both of them. He could see it in Andrea eyes that she was tired and he couldn't help but think about how exhausted she must be after their meeting with her family the next day. He didn't want her to be tired. No loving husband would want to see their extremely tired wife. And he just happened to be one of them.For the next five minutes, the couple are lost in silence. Both list in their own thoughts separately, so liters they were lost in two things, their silence and their thoughts. Edward continued through with his flashback, while Andrea couldn't help but wonder what the look Drake was giving her meant. After they had settled and accepted the fact that little Eve's reaction wasn't his fault, but the over proactive gardener triggered it, he had stopped looking at her
But before that, his tummy grumbled again. "Oh damn it. Don't you want me to have anything at all to eat? I'm really hungry from skipping all those meals." Andrea whined and put more force I her hand so she could drag Edward up.He got up with a start while studying not to collide with Andrea's backside which he had his gaze on.But then, in his bid to avoid doi g that, he lost his balance and fell back backwards. And not alone this time, because he managed to allow Andrea also lose her footing and she fall right into his laps. It looked all planned, but it wasn't intentional. He was only distracted for a while, and that happened. He let out a groan from.how close they were and how tight he felt. The temperature of the room suddenly felt hotter for Edward, despite the ninety nine absoluteness of the ventilation in the room.Even his head was getting clouded with the dirty clothes he had so tried to push and lock up in the past. But he wasn't the only one on this one.Because as
"Andreaaa?" He groaned and Andrea chuckled at the thought of really getting on his nerves. It was her own way of getting back at him. And she was enjoying it. "We'll talk it out, won't we?" She said and went back to sit. "Of course, we would." Edward said through gritted teeth when he noticed the size of the towel Andrea gave him. But then he knew one thing for sure. "I know I have like the most beautiful name in the world." She said as she fanned herself with her palm while her husband watched with his mouth slightly open. While wondering who exactly he had married. He however liked the couple they were becoming. The fact that they were open with eachother without feeling like they had to mince their words and expressions joyed him. And that was that they had crossed the stranger's phase of their relationship and were bow official couples both legally and by heart. Awkwardly, he tied the towel around his waist and tried to tiptoe out of the bathroom, only to bump into her
"On our wedding day. You asked me to take it off." Edward said and Andrea after a few seconds of flashing back remembered. "Damn!" She sighed. "I can't believe you are still hung up on at that." Andrea said and they both chuckled as they went down the memory lane together. "But that's not the only thing I can't get over." Eve said. Andrea was curious as to what else there was and she had a feeling that her curiousity will lead her to another round of Edwards cheesy lines, but she asked anyway. "What else can't you get over?" She asked as she inched closer to him, leaning on her elbow for support. "You really want to know?" Edward asked as he leaned in closer to her. Their faces were only a few inches apart at thi moment. "Hmm yes, I want to know what it is." Andrea said. At this point, she couldn't guess anything tangible. "Are you really sure you want to know?" Edward asked again. "Quit playing and spill it." Andrea said. At this point, she had her eyes close and her thou
And he thought that this was the best way for her to hear what she had always had questions about. He just didn't expect Drake to start with his identity. But it was all well and good.Because to him, it wasn't a bad start at all. He had his guess and his speculations as well, but he still wasn't convinced that Andrea loved him like he thought she did.*Maybe because she never mentioned it or probably because I never had someone tell me.* He thought.But then he just couldn't bring himself to remain convinced until Drake mentioned it. And now, just like his wife was, he also turned as red as a tomato. "Geez bro, one would think you are an high schooler meeting his Crush during the a masquerade themed prom party. You're so red." Drake commented. Andrea felt her blush deepen at the thought of Edward also blushing. Because just like Edward, she Was looking for that one confirmation which she had found. *But then what about the secrets?* A little voice in her head questioned. And
But now that things were looking clearer, she felt even more puzzled and sure of her self at the same time, then she thought back to when she was talking about Edward as the president to Drake's mom. "Drake, you really can't do that." She heard him say again. "Tch. At this point, one would think you are the older brother." Drake said with an eyeroll. This contradicted every thing she had heard about Drake being Avery swift and precise person. Drake as the CEO of Larson's real estate was also very popular for his rigidity when it came to work and how he executed his work. But ever since she met him that afternoon, he had been the exact opposite. And in fact acted like a child when he was the older son. Especially around Edward who was supposed to be his kid brother. Andrea didn't know this before as she had speculated Edward to be thirty five, but everything washed down the drain when Drake's mom said she respected him despite the fact that he was younger. She learnt about the
As she picked Edward's fork to start eating, she remembered why the look Drake was giving her felt familiar. She had a quick flash back to that morning when they were moving their things and Gray's look flashed across her mind. "So that was it!" She exclaimed that she almost choked on what she was chewing. And then she came to a conclusion that those people knew something about her that she didn't. And now that Andrea was convinced that whatever made those people give her those weird looks involved her, she didn't care whether it was rude to eavesdrop or not. She dropped her cutlery on the empty plate in front of her before drawing her chair up and leaving the dining room.
