Chapter 65__ Crybaby Harriet

Harriet was waiting in the living room for Edmund. She didn't want to go to bed without him.
"It's getting late, madam. You should eat and go to bed.",  the housemaid said.
" No", she was stubborn.
"I'm waiting for him"
The maid kept quiet. She couldn't understand Harriet mood swings. She wondered why she suddenly insisted on waiting for her husband.
The door opened and Edmund entered the house. He was surprised to see Harriet in the living room.
"Harriet, why are you still up?",  he asked.
Then Harriet started crying. The maid quickly excused them. The pregnant woman had started.
Edmund sigh.
He move closer and drew her into his arms.
" Why are you crying now?", he asked.
"Why are you questioning me like I'm a criminal? Can't I wait for you to come back from work before going to bed? Can't I cry?", she asked.
Edmund knew she is being unreasonable right now. That's how her mood this days is. He wondered if this is how all pregnant woman used to behave. Harriet is always crying.
"I'm sorry for coming home late",  he told her.

Edmund was on his way home when he saw Harriet call. He picked the call and she asked him to but ice cream for her. Fortunately for him, he saw an ice cream store nearby and bought her favourite flavour.
He got home and the maid told him, she is in  her room.
He entered the room and met her browsing her phone.
" you're home?", she saud when he entered.
"How are you feeling today?",  he asked her.
" Nothing unusual",she said.
"I got you ice cream", he saud and passed it to her.
She started crying , leaving the ice cream on her laps.
" Harriet, what is it?",he asked her.
"This is not the usual ice cream store. I only like Ice cream from that place. What is this shabby brand?",  she asked in tears.
" Babe, I've passed that store before you called so I just bought this one. I bought strawberry flavoured. I know you like it", he said.
She opened the container and stop crying when she saw that it's really strawberry flavoured.
She stopped crying and sniffed.
"Buy me the usual ice cream tomorrow, okay?",  she told him.
" Of course. Anything for my baby", he said, glad that she stopped crying. He watched her as she eats the ice cream like a child. Edmund felt like he is nursing a baby. She is really unpredictable this days. He really did not understand her so he just tread carefully whenever he is with her.

The next day, Edmund made sure to buy her usual ice cream from her favourite store.
She had reminded him several times that morning and he dared not forget.
He got home and the maid said Harriet is in her room. He entered the room and met her sleeping.
He didn't want to wake her so he just gave the ice cream to the maud to keep in the freezer.
Edmund woke up the next morning to his wife cries.
Wow! She is crying early in the morning. Edmund almost lost his temper but he controlled himself.
"Good morning",  he greeted but she still continue crying. He decided to ignore her. He got down from the bed and entered the bathroom. Even after taking his bath, Harriet is still crying. He continue to ignore her and proceed to enter the in built closet but was stopped by his wife words.
" You bastard. You don't like me anymore? I'm too troublesome? I'm no more pretty, right? You are fed up right? Is that why you're ignoring me. How dare you not care for me? If you don't, who will? Tell me!", she inquired.
Edmund sigh.
"Harriet, what is it?",  he asked. " I woke up and met you crying. You were already crying when I woke up so I shouldn't be the reason why you're crying.", he said
"But you're! You didn't but Ice cream for me last night!"
"I bought it. You're already sleeping so I kept it",  Edmund explained.
" Why didn't you wake me up?", she asked.
"I didn't want to disturb you",  he replied.
"You should have woken me up. It is that yesterday that I felt like eating the ice cream."
Edmund sigh.
"I'm sorry",  he said.
Edmund didn't think he will want another baby if that means she will have to be like this again.
It is just too much to bear.
