All Chapters of My wife, my enemy!: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Avery grinned from ear to ear on the ride back home, of course she was saddened by Margaret’s sad situation and she would help her as much as she could, but she couldn’t shake off Fredrick’s effects on her. He had her at the palm of his hands, pressing all her buttons and activating all smiles and happiness in her even in the face of mishap.However, Fredrick had turned chaperon for the night while Avery and Margaret occupied the back seats of the car, cuddling and hugging each other like two swans in a park, yet every now and then, Avery caught Fredrick’s gaze in the rearview mirror and her heart would flutter in excitement.“Are you okay now?” Avery asked, referring to Margaret.“Yeah, definitely. I am better, I can’t really fault my parents for deciding to break up, loving is hard” Margaret sighed wearily.Avery wondered if there was more to her statement, she couldn’t deny that she was right, loving was indeed hard but the tiny moments made it all worth it to her.Moments like thi

Having breakfast with a third person in the house suddenly made Fredrick reminisce about dinners at Nei-nei’s round table, the memory of their last dinner together flashed through his mind, making him miss her nagging and pestering.As they exchanged glances with each other, Fredrick knew Avery had the same thoughts as he did.“We should visit Adrian soon” Avery commented.Fredrick nodded in response.“Who is Adrian? Wait! I’ve heard that name before…” Margaret squished her face, racking her brain to remember who they were talking about,“But I hope he’s not one of your friends you should be introducing to me.”Avery chuckled lightly,“Adrian is my brother in-law” Fredrick replied.“Yes, I remember now. Adrian is Avery’s younger brother. Fredrick liked Margaret, she found her lively and chatty personality spreading her warmth around the house.Not to mention, the sultry lingerie idea she had imposed on Avery.Thinking about the night they had made his heart flutter, he had to leave n

The pizza box was opened delicately by the gracious Avery, as her face sprawled into a smile, Fredrick made a mental note that his wife loved pizza.His gaze swiftly went from his wife to the chattering Margaret who was talking and chatting with Alex like they’ve known each other forever,“I don’t need to introduce you two then…”“They are getting along pretty well” Avery chipped in.“I shall introduce myself” Alex retorted.“Hi princess, I am Alex.” He said stretching out his hand for a handshake.Margaret hesitated for a while before taking his hand, she fixed her gaze on him without averting his eyes,“You are intimidating me” Alex shuddered playfully.“Princess?” Margaret repeated.“What would you rather be called? Stranger?” “I’d rather be called Margaret, sir” Margaret retorted with a hint of irritation in her voice.“Nice to meet you, Margaret.” Alex bowed.“The pleasure is all mine!” “Now are you ready for my delectable plate of …..”“I’ll pass…” Alex said, as he arose from

Avery threw herself off the bed, dressed up and hurried into her Bentley Mussane. She was worried about her husband and Alex. From the little she knew about him, he’d never bail on Margaret.“Avery” Margaret whimpered on seeing her, like two sisters, Avery threw her arms on her friends, patting her back in consolation.“I’m sure he has a good explanation.” “I think I fooled myself… Maybe I read too much meaning into our little time together that I forgot that it was possible for him not to be interested in me”“Oh Margaret, I’m sure it is nothing like that…” “I hope so” Relieving each other from their hugs, Avery raised her hand to beckon on the waiter but she halted at the buzz of Margaret’s phone,“Is that him?” Avery asked expectantly,“It’s Noah…” she replied.“Excuse me,” Margaret said as she pressed the phone to her ear,“What is it?” She charged.“What? No, yes…I’m coming sir.” Margaret dropped the call weakly, and began to gather her things,“What is it? Is something wrong

“What woman?” Fredrick asked, seemingly confused.Without a word, Avery walked away, going into the house, leaving them speechless and worried.“I know you’d never cheat on anyone, not Avery or anyone else…What’s going on?” Alex spoke first.“I’m equally as confused… I didn’t do anything wrong.” “So she didn’t see with someone at Dawns? I’m sure she’s making things up, I’ll be sure to let her know.” Margaret snapped, walking away “Wait, wait! That’s not what we’re saying” Alex interjected, “Then what are you saying? I think you should just be honest to her, you’re married to her for Gods sakes!”“Now everyone is gone, it’s just us. Who did you have dinner with?”“I didn’t have dinner with anyone.”“Did you go to Dawns today?” “I did. But I didn’t have dinner with anyone.”“Then what did you go to do at Dawns?”“I went to see the cake la…”“Oh hell!”“I am happy you remembered, go in there and fix it. Why are messing up so much?” Alex exclaimed “What did you do?” Fredrick amidst
