CHAPTER 6: HE IS RETURNING TODAY

CHAPTER 6: HE IS RETURNING TODAY

NAOMI POV

2 months later

I was wrong to judge someone so fast. My dear husband is not as nice as I thought he was and he was not ashamed to show that side of his.

Ugh, why does he keep on distracting my thoughts!! Oh, I know why, because he is all over the news doing what he feels is right not caring about anyone. I am currently sitting in the study room working on an important life-changing case and the only thing I can think about is that I never thought my life would change to such an extent.

The good news however is that Mr Dawson is staying in this mansion now, and it's great news. He is recovering well. The doctor said it to be a Miracle. But dad (that's what Mr Dawson asked me to call him) says it's all because of me. He always says that I make this dead mansion a warm home. Although I'm afraid I have to disagree, I am glad he is happy now.

He always tries to take care of me or try to cheer me up.. Unlike my father, he is understanding. I love how he always tries to make me smile not many people put that much effort for me. I feel happy when I talk to him. But I can't say the same thing about his son.

Nicholas is in New York for the last 2 months. Yes, he didn’t stay in this mansion and immediately left the day after our marriage though I am not complaining. He did visit his dad in the hospital however he actively avoided me like I was a plague or something. He didn’t visit when I was in his dad’s hospital room and when we came almost face to face, he ignored me. From afar sometimes our eyes met but for the last two months, we didn’t share a conversation.

When I agreed to get married to him I didn’t realize we would never have a civil conversation. I feel like laughing at my Decision, what did I ever do that I always get involved with these kinds of men?

He asked his secretary to give me his credit card which I refused to take because I already told him I don't need his money!!....

However I have a nature of taking care of people around me so I could not stop myself from asking about his health from his secretary when I got news of him being sick however I am not sure how true that was as paparazzi found him with a mask once and speculated this news, all I did is called his secretary and asked.. But the funny part is I didn't have to ask much coz he is in the news so frequently...

In last two month he got few titles, he extended his hotel businesses... He also opened a luxury Pub and also invested in new technology start-ups.

Not only this he was in the news because he was spotted with a few models .. In few pictures, they seemed close....

 Like close close...

The headlines were like "Is this An affair??? , What will be the reaction of Mrs Dawson?? "

Ohhhh Mrs Dawson doesn't care what he does...

By the way even after I tried to keep my marriage a secret one of the photo got leaked. though my face was not so clear due to the veil but now everyone knows Nicholas is married man...

But does this stop those women to get clingy??? No!! They don't have self-respect I guess.. Or maybe my so-called husband told them he doesn't care about me. Everyone saw the news about him. Ethan and Roni was so upset and angry but they didn't do anything because I was the one agreed to these things knowing what kind of man he is.

I wasn’t angry at him for doing whatever he liked,I wasn’t until My father who never bothered to care about me and didn't even call me for the first few news called me and accused me that I am incapable wife and I am responsible for all this.... Funny right??

Mr Dawson don't know anything about it because I hide the news paper before he could see. I also asked all the workers to keep their mouths shut about this... I don't want Mr Dawson to get sick because of his son. Except for all this, I am living my life. I continued my work as a lawyer. I spend more time with Dad(Mr Dawson)... I decorated a place near the garden. This place is our most favorite to spend time.

This is small greenhouse covered with evergreens, I love sunflowers and evergreen so I planted sunflower seeds and covered the inside with all types of evergreens. I and dad spend our evening drinking tea and snacks or sometimes I sit at night to work or just lay down in the chair to see the stars shining brightly in the sky.

Surrounded by dark night with beautiful stars and evergreens makes me feel less lonely.

We also visited the cancer hospitals, old age homes, and also orphanages.. Dad was really happy. We even called a few kids in our mansion to spend time with us.

But u know ,whenever I sit alone I feel a void , an emptiness. Sometimes I asked myself whether I am actually happy or not...Although I agreed to do this and didn't want a romantic relationship but deep down I know I am scared...

Scared to love someone, scared to get hurt again....

I didn't want to get married because I have seen my family, I have seen how my mother and my aunt were treated.....and How I was treated before.

But I do deserve to be loved right??? I hope my decision doesn't backfire on me...

Mr Dawson(Dad) POV

If you think I am naive and I don't know what my son is doing than you are wrong.

I have my sources to know about his whereabouts.

My daughter-in-law is the kindest person I ever known. I know a lot of things about her. Although she hide all papers so that I couldn't read those news about my son but I still know everything.She cares about me as well as my son. She will deny it but she does care about him. She always asked his secretary about his health and stuff and asked her not to tell him.

I always try to cheer her up but I know I cannot fill the gap she is missing...

My Son is an idiot . He thinks everyone is like his ex. I agree that it was his first relationship and he was so in love, but even after 4 years of relationship that women left him saying he is emotionless, unexpressive... .

I don't question her either because she wasn't perfect for him. She didn't understand him. And everyone is not meant for each other. My son experienced a lot of pain. He does care about things but he fails to express. And now he turned into a cold-hearted person and he believes emotions makes him weak...

And so I wanted Niomi as my daughter-in-law. She is fun-loving, carefree and funny... She can bring a smile to anyone's face..... Even if anyone want to avoid her, no one will ever able to that.

She has a past too but you won't understand it until and unless you are close to her...

I hope I have made the right decision...

I know what I did was selfish but what do expect from a dying father who wants his son to learnto be happy again.

"Sir, he is returning today" One of the workers informed me..

I know they are completely different and don't even love each other... But I hope they will gradually fall for each other and accept eachother

Nicholas POV

I am returning HOME after 2 months. I didn't talk to Naomi, just shared few glances when I visited Dad. I wont deny the fact I actively avoided that woman. I don’t like her and I don’t want her hopes to get high. I already did a few things at our wedding which might have given her the wrong intuition because in the car ride back to home from our marriage day she gave me a confuse doe eye look as if she is trying to see me from inside.

And that made me cautious immediately, so I did what I felt right.

I sent her my credit card but she returned it.. She is my responsibility now but she doesn't take my help..... I don't understand this woman.My father is recovering I heard it from my secretary and that to told by my wife. We don't talk directly...

She didn't even bother to ask me about the rumors and scandals in the newspaper, Its good she doesn't care about me. But for some reason that didn’t sit well with me.

But Why will she care!!!....

It's good she is following all the rules of the contract...

My father is happy now and that made me happy after years... I talked to the doctors and they say that the credit goes to Naomi. She takes care of him a lot, like her own father....

She is nice unlike I thought about her. However she behaves nonchalantly with me, she actually takes care of my father selflessly.

Sh-

What the fuck!! Why I am suddenly thinking like this...

I am inside my jet now. I am returning home today.... But I won't stay for long, only a week I guess.
