Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 20: Husband duty first

Eco's POV

The sunshine beaming through the window, welcomes me as soon as I wake up from my sleep. With a smile, I sit up and grab my phone from the table only to freak out when I see the time. It's past 9 in the morning which not only mean I overslept but Sky has already left for the work. Immediately jumping down the bed, I run to the bathroom and take a quick shower before getting dressed and going downstairs.

"I'm sorry, uncle Sidney. I overslept and didn't see the time." I approach uncle Sidney who is the kitchen and apologise to him.

"It's okay, Eco. You're still recovering, it's fine." He smiles and boils milk for me.

"Thank you." I thank him with a smile and feel relief.

It's not like uncle Sidney will be angry at me if I get up late or don't help him with anything because he's not such a person. He actually takes good care of me and already knows a little of my behaviour. And since I got my fingers chopped a day ago and then suffered from fever the whole day, he keeps telling me to rest to recover. Day before yesterday I cut my fingers and suffered from fever but since yesterday I'm slowly gaining my strength back. I felt so weak and bad. I didn't know a cut on fingers could cause fever and make me feel like shit otherwise I would have been careful. Sky was beside me the last two days and took good care of me. He even used to hold me in sleep though I wasn't the one who initiated it. I feel happy as I remember it. Today being Monday, he left to office and too bad I couldn't see him.

"Here, Eco. Have milk, eat breakfast and then take medicine." Uncle Sidney hands me the milk glass.

I accept it with a smile and start sipping it.

"Uncle Sidney, did Sky tell you to tell me anything before leaving to office?" I ask him nervously.

At least, Sky would have informed uncle Sidney to tell me that he was leaving since he couldn't tell me by himself as I was sleeping. And to take care of my health.

"Ah, actually..." Before uncle Sidney could finish what he was to suppose to say, he stops midway.

"I didn't tell mama so that I can tell you by myself." Hearing Sky's voice, I turn around at once and see him standing at the kitchen entrance in his suit.

I got stunned hearing him and seeing him.

He slowly approaches me and stands in front of me. I stare at him in shock and then glance at uncle Sidney to see him smiling while shaking his head.

"I'll be going out, I think Eli is calling me." Uncle Sidney mumbles and leaves the kitchen.

Uncle Elijah called him? But when? I'm here too but I didn't hear uncle Elijah's voice.

"How are feeling today?" Sky too looks confused but then he recovers and asks me while checking my body temperature.

"I'm feeling good, baby." I reply with a big smile, "did you really wait until I wake up?"

"Hmm...I didn't want to leave before knowing how you are feeling today." Sky answers my question, "your body temperature is normal now."

"Yeah, I'm better than yesterday and feel normal now." I agree and move closer to him.

"Come on, I'll help you eat breakfast and then leave for work. I'm already late today." He says and turns around.

I follow him and leave the kitchen. We sit at the dining table and Sky serves the breakfast in a plate before he feeds me. I eat happily since I didn't expect Sky to wait until I wake up, so what even that he's also feeding me. I'm so happy and my heart it filled with joy.
