Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 02: Fun begins

Eco's POV

Continuous beeping of my phone wakes me up from my peaceful sleep. I grown as I grab my phone from under the pillow next to me and skint my eyes while unlocking the phone. Why does my phone keep beeping? Who in the sane mind messaging me at this time? And for what exactly? I have questions rotating in my mind but when I unlock the phone and see the screen, I sit up immediately. Now widely and fully awaken. At first a frown appears on my face but quickly it turns into anger as I scroll my screen. How dare?

Here I'm spending a lot of time and posting the pics and people aren't even bothered to leave a like and a comment? It's angers me that my pic which I posted last night got a little less likes and comments from my previous ones. Like how can this happen? Shouldn't the new posts get more likes? I almost spent an hour choosing the dress, getting ready and when I finally posted, I got less interactions from it. Gone those days where the Eco Evans, the one and only, used to get millions of likes and comments just within minutes of span after posting something.

My morning got ruined because of this. I throw the phone a side and get down the bed. Going to the bathroom, I brush my teeth and get back to the room before taking my phone and going to the dining table to have some breakfast. I'm feeling hungry. I need food now.

"Dad, breakfast!" I scream as I sit on one of the chairs.

"Don't shout, Eco. I'm coming." My dad too shouts from the living room before I see him walking to me.

Telling me not to shout but shouting in return? How great! That's why there's a saying that people give advises but not follow them.

"Eco, can't you be more responsible now? You're not a teenager anymore. You're almost 27 and you still behave like a child. Did you see the time, it's past 11? Now is when you get up and eat breakfast?" My dad nags as he serves me food.

I don't bother instead focus on eating, as I said I'm hungry. While eating, I scroll my phone again to see if there is any improvement about the interactions to my post. How much ever I want to let it go, I can't. After all it's my effort and I want that damn recognition.

"Are you even listening to me?" Dad calls out and I spare him a glance to see him keeping his hands on both sides of his waist and looking at me what I think is angrily.

If only dad knows how comic he's looking!

"Why did I raise you like this? You're spoiled rotten, I..." Before dad could continue his daily appreciation for me, his phone rings.

He shakes his head and goes to the living room to get his phone. I shrug and continue to eat while seeing my phone. Now the interactions started increasing. Were you all sleeping all this time? Idiots!

"Ah, yes, Sidney. Done with all the chorus, just relaxing." Dad says while walking and sitting in front of me.

I thought he would have his phone call in the living room itself.

"Um... David there's something I want to ask you." I hear a gentle voice from the other side.

I recognise that voice though, it's uncle Sidney, my dad's friend. I met him few days ago after shifting to Thailand.

My dad has this stupid habit of talking on the phone with speaker on so I'm able to hear.

"Yeah, what is it?" Dad encourages his friend to continue.

"I don't know how to say, also please don't take it in the wrong sense. Actually it's about your son." Mention of me catchs my attention and I pay my ear to what uncle Sidney is going to say next, "I liked your son when I saw him and thought he would be suitable for my son, Sky. I spoke to my son and he's fine with my decision. So, I want to ask you if you would like to marry your son to my son?"
