Married To A Playgirl

Chapter 21

Asteria Celeste Averix Levington POV

Now, I'm being discharged from the hospital. Kian brought all our belongings we used during our stay. It's just a little bit, so it's not too heavy. I don't want her to suffer either. As I was about to get into the car, Kian spoke up.

"Estria, just a moment," she said. I nodded.

"Alright," I answered. She placed our things in the back seat and then gestured for me to get in. She's so sweet, I thought to myself. Then I just watched her every move. She is so graceful.

"Maybe that will melt me, Estria," she promised with a smile. I looked away, feeling a bit bashful. She started the car, and we left the hospital. After a minute, we reached our house.

The ride was smooth. As usual, she opened the door for me, which she didn't do before when we were pretending. A lot has really changed in our relationship, and I'm happy because of that. I went inside first, and she followed with our things. I turned to face her.

"I'll go to the room first," I said, excusing myself. She just nodded and sat on the sofa, probably tired from the previous day. She closed her eyes. I went up to the room. Even though the trip wasn't far, I was still tired and wanted to lie down again.

Why haven't I invited her up yet? She still looks very tired. I wanted to go back down to tell her, but I couldn't muster the energy. I was too lazy to stand up, and my eyes were closing. Unintentionally, I fell asleep again, entering the realm of dreams.

Kian Calen Levington POV

After some time, I woke up and glanced at what my wife was doing. Seeing her peacefully asleep, I approached and kissed her on the forehead. She was still in a deep slumber.

"I'm leaving first," I whispered, even though I knew he wouldn't hear me. It pained me to leave the house. I headed back to the hospital because of the woman claiming I had a child with her. All I wanted was to lie next to my wife and never return here.

"Kian, I thought you wouldn't come back," she said, appearing confused and still sulking. I didn't care much for her if it weren't for the child. I tightly closed my eyes, trying to roll them at her.

"I'm here," I teased, having already arranged the things I needed to bring home. She was discharged now. Wasn't there anyone else here to take care of her? I wanted to go home. After settling the billing, I returned to her room.

"Let's go," I urged, not wanting to engage in conversation with her. She didn't budge but eventually followed me as we walked. When we reached my car, I turned to her.

"Get in," I instructed. I didn't bother opening the door for her since she was capable of doing it herself.

"Grumpy!" she exclaimed as we settled into the car. She probably expected some kind of punishment from me. I chose to remain silent and ignore her. The trip back was quiet. After dropping her off, I simply unloaded the items and left.

"Bye, Kian," she said. I just nodded in response, not saying anything. I got back into my car and drove off, eager to return home and be with my wife.
