Chapter 60 – Reprieve
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56They both waited until the old man was driven out of their residence.
Klyde doesn’t know how to approach this. Just ignore it for now? Talk about something else? As for Mel, she’s leaning towards turning it into a joke and teasing him.
But the moment she opened her mouth and turned to look at him, the expression she saw made her speechless. She saw him hesitating with uncertainty but… well, maybe this is what the old man saw. He does have a loving expression on his face as he looked at her. He wrapped her in his arms and gently kissed her face before focusing on her lips.
“Klyde…” She meant to reprimand him. They’re at the entrance. Anyone can see. But she ended up moaning his name.
“Aren’t you tired? You should take a nap.” He guided her inside and brought her to his room. When she’s moody, she would still go to her own room. But if you think about it, his room could be better designated

“So, your husband doesn’t have work today?” Lily asked as they sat on the living room. It’s one of the rare times she’s able to visit. Klyde doesn’t let his wife go out on her own, saying it’s risky as she’s pregnant. Come to think of it, he’s always with her whenever she leaves the house in the last few months.“He doesn’t work on weekends.” Mel took a sip of cucumber juice.Earlier, she and Klyde were chatting about her café when her friend showed up. Lily still finds him intimidating, but this time, she witnessed how he made sure they have all they need before leaving the two of them alone. He kind of… fussed, which was something she didn’t expect to see. He made sure Mel has her pillows and that they have refreshments. He even took her slippers off and made her put her feet up on a separate stool. It took a while before he left for his study. Lily was amused.“I

He was just fueling her worries. That damn bastard!To her, his statements implied two things. Maybe three. She can’t be sure.One, he thinks her best friend was such a woman. Lily’s the closest she has to a family. She would never do that kind of thing. Mel hates that he’s making her doubt her own friend, and she hates herself for being affected. How could she doubt her? It makes her feel bad.Two, he does encounter such women? For him to suggest her friend is one, does he experience it often? Do women throw themselves at him frequently? And what does he do when that happens? She’s already worried about its possibility and he practically confirmed it. Just how many women are trying to get his attention?Three, he did say he’s trying to avoid creating a misunderstanding. So that implies he avoids women and they don’t succeed in whatever they try to do with him? But does he always? He doesn’t flirt back? He doesn&r

What Mel expected to happen didn’t happen and she became surer of her feelings. And maybe his, too. She expected him to become distant after giving birth, but he hasn’t. She expected him to focus more on their child, but he still spends more time with her. He would normally see Klay when she’s in the nursery. She’s beginning to doubt if he goes there on his own.Pops visited often in the first few weeks. He would just sit there in the nursery watching the little boy when he’s asleep. When the baby’s awake, the old man would babble at him even though the baby doesn’t know how to do that yet. But Klay rarely cries in his presence. He would chuckle a lot and wiggle his arms and legs. It’s heartwarming to see.As for Lily, she visited on the baby’s first weekend at home. She brought some baby clothes and some cute things as gifts. She even washed them already so they can try it on immediately.“Why do I fee

Klyde quickly caught up with her just as she exited the door. He pulled her to the side, but she struggled against him. In that moment, he knew he’s in so much trouble again.“Mel, please. Don’t be angry. Let me explain.”She glared at him and pulled her hand back but he caught it again. Thankfully, his driver was outside and watching the entrance. Klyde saw him and nodded. The man quickly scrambled to get the car.“Melissa, don’t make a scene. Let’s go home and talk.” He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her close. Some people curiously looked in their direction and he glared at them. Mind your own business.Her imagination run wild again and as she kept silent, the scenario in her head kept becoming worse and worse. Her eyes constricted as she became angrier with every minute.He pushed her into the car and immediately followed. With her hands freed, she began hitting him. This bastard…

Mel fell asleep after that and he could only watch her. He traced her face before it seemed to irritate her and she snuggled closer to him. He smiled at her unconscious reaction.She hasn’t responded to it and she seemed in disbelief. When she wakes up, he’ll definitely make sure she remembers it from now on.A few hours later, she woke up with a need to use the toilet. She tried not to wake him, only to find him staring at her. She scrambled after that.Klyde smirked. He didn’t tease her this time. He let her run away.In the bathroom, she seemed to recall what happened before she slept. Her face felt hot and when she looked in the mirror, she could see the redness of her cheeks. And the damn hickeys on her neck! She did a quick wash before grabbing a bathrobe and squinting at the door. He’s waiting for her, isn’t he?When she got out, she saw him patting the bed.“You haven’t slept yet?” She

In preparation for the event, he made sure she’s got a new dress. When she put it on, she looked stunning in it. He knew people’s eyes would be on them that night.When he warned her to ignore rude comments, she raised an eyebrow at him.“I think you’re forgetting something. I really don’t give a damn what other people think of me.” Sure, there were moments she would feel small and unworthy, but they’re fleeting moments. She can shrug them off quite quickly.“Right. You’re really meant to be my wife.”That’s statement made her heart melt. He placed her hand on his arm and they entered the venue. He wore a smile on his face, which was rare to see. Everyone who saw it were surprised and curious. They immediately made the connection to the woman by his side. His gaze was mostly on her as they walked in and that gaze was uncharacteristically gentle. At least, for other people who are used to se

She quickly swallowed when he turned his glare on her. Mel stood her ground, though. She didn’t do anything wrong. She even raised an eyebrow to challenge him.He grabbed her arm and brought her to her little office in the back. There’s still a couple of customers in the café, so it’s not suitable to confront her there. They passed Nessa on the way, who became a little worried for her boss.“Klyde…” She began but was immediately cut off. She’s feeling a different kind of déjà vu.“Do you like him? Is he your type?” His tone was sharp and accusatory but upon hearing his words, she was reminded of a similar situation not too long ago.It made her a little speechless. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form the words. What kind of situation is this?“Damn it, woman. Are you not satisfied with me? What else do I lack?” His expression was something

When she heard that, she began to look guilty.“What? You don’t want to?” Here he is again with a whiny tone.Mel grimaced as she replied, “Something like that.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Actually, I’m already on birth control. I got a new arm insert.” She sheepishly replied.Pursing his lips, he asked, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Uh, a month after I gave birth? I really don’t want to get pregnant for the time being.” Her tone was somewhat pleading him to understand her worries.“I just forgot to tell you.”He kept his silence.“Klyde, I’m not ready to go through that again. Not anytime soon.”Finally, upon seeing her worried expression, he relented. He sighed and took her in his arms.“But it’s not off the table, is it? Would you be interested in

“If you don’t want to, then I won’t force you. You’re still the most important to me.”In the morning, he was gone when she woke up. She went to take a quick shower and found him with a breakfast tray when she got out of the bathroom. Those were his opening words as she sat on the bed with him.“I’m sorry I can’t give you a daughter.” She muttered, still feeling complicated about it.“Don’t be. It’s fine. I only wanted a daughter because I thought watching her grow up would let me see how you grew up. And I also thought boys would be difficult to handle.”She can only snort. He has an odd way of thinking.“Are you feeling better?” He reached out to touch her forehead again.“Yeah. The fever’s gone.” And the headache. She didn’t complain about a headache last night but it was there.“Did you check on Klay last night?&

Klyde was immensely relieved. Mel is already three months pregnant but she’s not as grumpy as before. She also very touchy instead of loathing his touch. He dared not to voice out his observations, though. He wouldn’t jinx it.Her behavior is hugely different than before. He’s convinced they’re really having a girl this time. Mel was amused when he predicted such a thing, and told him it’s a boy, just to rile him up. She even came up with a name, Kyle. He’s clearly not pleased, grunting and insisting it’s going to be a girl. He would name her Malia.They made a bet on it and decided not to check the gender before birth. They want it to be a surprise, but she knew she would feel bad to see him disappointed.The pregnancy was a lot easier. Mel thought it’s because they’re prepared this time and they wanted it. She has less worries and sincerely happy with the situation. Klyde was very supportive, too.Wh

After their honeymoon, she insisted on going to his beach house. They spent two days there and she enjoyed watching the sunset.“Do you like it that much?” Klyde asked against her ear as he hugged her from behind.“Yeah. It’s more than beautiful.” She lowly uttered, tilting her head to the side as he began pressing kisses on her neck.“You’re the most beautiful.” He husked against her skin, making her shiver.Mel couldn’t help chuckling. She likes it when he compliments her in his own sweet way.“I’m still the most beautiful for you?” She glanced at him and he quickly captured her lips. Why must he act like he’s still so in love with her? She moaned as he kissed her deeper.“You’ll always be the most beautiful for me.” He whispered against her lips.“How about when we have a daughter?” She couldn’t help but wonder how much

Klyde was gloating. They’ve been teaching Klay how to talk and the first word he could say properly was “dada”. He spent so much time practicing it with him.Mel wasn’t even competing with him. “Now teach him how to say mama.”That kid is definitely going to grow up as daddy’s boy. She’s extremely satisfied with the way he’s very hands-on in raising their son. Who knew he could be very patient? She wasn’t as patient as him.Right now, the man is slowly teaching him how to walk. Klay crawls a lot and is very active, but he can’t walk on his own two feet yet. Klyde needs to hold his body or his arms to get him standing up.Without any experience, he was initially afraid of holding him. The boy was so delicate, he was scared he would hurt him, bruise him or break his little body. He had to be very gentle with him.“Here, feed him. He must be hungry now.” Mel passed him a bot
