Mr Wife ☑️

chapter 23: Lock the damn door!

Sky's POV

"Baby, more how long do I have to keep this? One month?" Eco asks and when I look up at him, he seems nervous.

"The doctor told to bandage it for a week. Once it's over, we'll go and visit him again." I tell him and turn back to his hand as I continue the dressing.

Eco and I are in my room. I came back from the office while Eco returned after our lunch session, had some rest and snacks. Before we go to eat dinner, I decided to do the dressing to his hand. Sitting on the bed, facing each other I concentrate on dressing when he starts a conversation.

"Really? That's good then!" He states happily.

"You seem happy to get over with this?" I comment and look up at him, finished with the bandage.

"Yes, baby. I'm so happy to get done with this." He exclaims and I chuckle while shaking my head.

"Why did you cut your fingers in the first place? If you weren't good at it, why did you want to help mom?" I ask him.

He says silent for a moment.

"Because I want to learn to cook." He says a while later.

"Why? Mom is already cooking for us and when he can't do it anymore, we'll hire a cook. Why do you hurt yourself?" I question him.

"I want to learn for you, baby." He mumbles and keeps his head low while playing with this hands.

"For me?" I query confused.

"Um...yes. Uncle Sidney does the cooking now and his husband and family gets to eat his hand cooked meals. River too knows to cook though he isn't doing it now because of his pregnancy. I too want to learn so that I can cook for you in the future. They not only know to cook but they also take care of their husbands. I too want to take care of you, baby. I want to become a best partner for you." He explains.

I get stunned for a while at his words as I watch him who is looking everywhere but at me. His face turned red. When I come out of my trance, I let out a chuckle.

"So you basically want to become a good wife to me, huh!" I tease him by calling him wife again.

It's actually so fun to call him wife and see his reaction. His face blushes and he feels shy when I call him wife. I know it's not uncomfortable to him or he dislikes it, maybe it's just new to him. If he really hate it, I'll drop it immediately. I wouldn't force anything on him that he won't like.

"Whatever! You won't stop teasing me. Wait for it, I'll also have my chance to tease you." He mutters and I laugh which makes him huff. A moment later, he talks again, "baby, I want to ask you something?"

"What is it?" I tell him continue.

"Can I go to the company along with you?" He requests while looking at me in expectations.

"Work with me?" I call out confused to which he nods his head, "why?"

"No important reason. I'm just bored sitting at home. Uncle Sidney and uncle Elijah are always together, Ivan goes to work and as River is pregnant he's forbidden to work. I'm only one left and feel bored all throughout the day. So, I also want to come with you. Will you agree baby?" He reasons out and asks my opinion.

"What did you study?" I ask for his degree because if he really wants then I can find a suitable position for him in the right department.

"I studied fashion designing, baby." He replies and waits for me.

I bite my lips as I think, think on how to tell him his degree doesn't offer job in our company.

"Um... Eco, we don't have a suitable job for you in the company. But don't worry, I'll talk to my fellow business partners and find if any company fits you." I assure him.
