All Chapters of My wife, my enemy!: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Adrian woke up to a persistent knock on his door, he groggily stood up from the bed and headed towards the door.“It’s too early for this, Avery” he groaned.“What do you mean too early? I came to check on you, seeing that it is past nine and way past the time where you make more money than all your life! “And you’re still not awake…”“Past what?!” Adrian exclaimed, his drowsiness dissipating instantly.“I thought you make more money in the morning than you do all day…” Avery teased as she walked off.“Now is not the time to be petty, nutmeg!” Adrian riposted, slamming door against the wall as he hurried into the bathroom.Ivy couldn’t help but steal glances at the door, her heart leaping with every door bell ring, hoping that it was Adrian. Meanwhile, ten impatient customers were awaiting their coffee and a few had already left in frustration.She attempted to brew a few cups, but it was evident that they could tell it wasn’t the usual standard, and some left the coffee untouched.

“We’re going to those places tomorrow…” Adrian blurted out during a quiet moment at dinner, piercing the silence with his announcement.“You are actively pursuing love, Adrian!” Noah exclaimed, with feigned annoyance.“It’s a good thing!” Margaret and Avery chorused.“He just left a relationship, what’s the next girl going to do did the last didn’t do!” Gary opposed.“Let him go out there and find out, he won’t just know by assumption.” Alex chimed in.“After every break up, psychologists advise you stay off the opposite for at least two years, before you even attempt another…” Gary said dramatically,“Buts it’s been about three weeks since we broke up, and it feels like forever ago.” Adrian argued.“Yes, like most misery.” Noah chimed.“Ooooh, why are you two so dark?” Avery shuddered.Fredrick leaned over to her and held her in a side embrace,“They’re scary…” he teased.“You know I’m just showing her around town, nothing serious…” “I think it is a pretty intense thing to be showin

“Don’t go…” had become her mantra as she slammed the door shut, retracing her steps back to the bed.A smile played on her face as she relived the moment their eyes locked and a hint of affection simmered in them.“Don’t go, Adrian!” She squealed, swishing her feet on the bed like a happy child.If she had said that within earshot, she would have saved Adrian the heart wrenching pain of feeling unwanted, and the gnawing feeling of regret for acting in such an impulsive way.Another thing it would’ve saved him from was the taunting comments from Gary and Noah who were currently turning on their seats in the living room, laughing heartily as he recounted his ordeal.“What were you thinking?!” Noah said, stifling a laughter.“I wasn’t thinking” Adrian replied, burying his head in his palm.“I’m going to die from embarrassment.”“Stop saying weird things!” Avery scolded, coming down the stairs with Fredrick.“What’s going on?” Fredrick asked, sensing his disheartened demeanor.“He went to

Alex listened attentively to Adrian rambling on and on about how unstable he felt after the incident at Ivy’s, and his sincere apologies for the events of the previous night.His pleas were like music to his ears- more like a splash of cold water on hot body after a long run. He caught himself grinning happily as Adrian nervously explained himself on the other end of the phone.He had been carried away by his own excitement that he didn’t even notice when Adrian had finished speaking.“Uncle Alex?” Adrian called in a low, uncertain voice.Alex quickly regained his composure, and cleared his throat,“I’m equally sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed you into something I wasn’t sure of…”“You were right about Ivy…” he cut in, “I… uh…” he stammered.“I just don’t know if I’m ready for another relationship...”Alex took a deep breathe, Fredrick’s words echoing in his head- “just be his uncle…”“What really happened with Heather?” He blurted out, his fingers crossed as he awaited his response.

Just as Alex had advised, Adrian arrived at the cafe and it was already booming. His regular customers were already served breakfast. The idea to add more food to the menu was a good one, their sales were gradually growing by the day and Adrian gave Ivy credit for it everyday.He scanned the room desperately, looking for a red head in the crowd, his heart racing as he scanned through the bustling crowd, searching from face to face for Ivy.Amidst the chaos, he finally spotted her. She was standing near the bar, her red hair sprawled over her back as she drifted seamlessly across the room, going from one table to the other to take their order.“It was a mistake…” Adrian muttered to himself.He head been practicing the same lines on the drive down here, but as soon his gaze fell on the fiery head in the distance, the tingles of her warm lips on him shook him to nervousness.“Adrian!” A voice called from behind, snapping him out of his reverie.As he turned around, his eyes met with the
