The Billionaire's Wife ||✔||

Chapter 18

It has been two days since Eve got discharged from the hospital. Xavier was doing his office work from home as Eve was still afraid that he will leave her alone again. They still didn't talk about that matter because for him nothing is more important than her health. When she will get perfectly fit; he will talk to her and make her understand her importance in his life.

Xavier was in the library and attending a video conference meeting for the upcoming project while Eve was sleeping in their room. She had been lately sleeping a lot due to the medicine. He heard her screamed and instantly got up from the chair. But before he left Eve rushed into the library and saw him already.

"Xavier..." She sobbed throwing herself in his arms.

He lifted her and sat on the chair with her in his arms. He turns off the speaker and minimizes the screen.

"Princess, what happened?" He asked caressing her hair and she sobbed hard.

"Why did you leave me? I got afraid." She cried hugging him tightly.

"Princess, I didn't leave you. I just had an important video conference to attend. I am here only." He said breaking the hug and wiped her tears.

"Don't leave me again." She said hiccupping a little.

"I will never leave you, my love. And go back to our room. I will be there in half-hour." He said kissing her nose but she placed her head on his chest and hugged him tightly.

"I don't want to go. No.. no.. no..." She said shaking her head negatively.

"Princess, stop being stubborn. I promise I will come back soon." He said rubbing her back but she refused to leave him and he sighs.

She was still insecure that he might leave her and it wasn't her fault though because he left her once although it was not purposely still he left her and that's what scared her the most. He turns on the screen and his employees were shocked to see a girl in his arms. His wife; they assumed because he had confessed in the front of the media that he wasn't single anymore. They could barely able to see her face as she had hidden her face in his chest.

"Let's continue where we left." He mouthed in a cold voice and they nodded their head.

She grabbed his hand and started playing with his fingers. And he continued speaking ignoring the shocked look on his employees till the half-hour. He turns off the laptop and glanced at his innocent wife who was snoring in his arms.

"Princess, wake up." He said rubbing her back and she snuggled more in his arms.

"Now, now... it's enough. Wake up. You need to eat something." He said trying to pull her back but she was acting stubborn now.

"Alright, then it's good that you are sleeping. Now I can eat all the strawberry muffins." He said with a smirk and she instantly got up with a grin.

"No, you don't like strawberries. Muffins are mine." She said pointing her finger at him and he laughed aloud.

He got up with her and walked out of the library. He took her to their room and went into the bathroom. They had a small bath and comes out of the bathroom. He made her wear one of his shirts as she doesn't want to wear her clothes and he gave up against her stubbornness. After changing in something comfortable they got downstairs and she sat on the couch while he went to the kitchen. He had already asked Amelia to make muffins for her. Amelia left after making their lunch. He walked out of the kitchen and Eve's eyes twinkled seeing her favorite strawberry muffins. She was about to grab it but he rose up to his hand and winked at her mischievously.

"No, give me my muffins." She said jumping but he moved back.

"Take it yourself, little girl." He said with a smirk and she frowns as he runs from there.
