HIS SECRET WIFE (BL)

Chapter 16

"I gained weight?" Elliam checked his body in front of a full body mirror. He checked his front, both sides, and even his back.

Dominic walked towards Elliam and stood behind him. "Here..." He said while he puts his hands on Elliam's waist "this part seems a little bigger than normal."

"Really? Maybe I'm eating too much lately." Elliam positively said.

"Hmm, might be. Are you sure you're not feeling unwell? " Dominic asked worriedly. He knew Elliam's not the type of person who would tell every pain he feels on his body. As long as he can endure the pain, he would never tell him about it.

Elliam looked up to Dominic and gave him a reassuring smile. "I'm fine Dom. Don't worry."

"Maybe we should change your pizza to a vegetable salad. You're not allowed to eat unhealthy foods from now on." Dominic announced.

Elliam was stunned after hearing what his husband just said and immediately retaliated. "No you won't! This is the first time I requested a pizza from you and you can't stop me." He broke free from Dominic's hold and turned his back on him.

Dominic was caught off guard. He never thought he would react this way after saying he'll get rid of all the unhealthy food in Elliam's food intake.

"... Fine, I'll let you eat what you want, now don't give me the cold shoulder." Dominic couldn't help but deep sigh. He can never win with this little guy.

When Elliam still won't move, Dominic continues to say, "Come on, hon. I'm sorry. I'll give you all the pineapple pizza that you can eat today, okay?Please look at me now"

Instead of an answer, Dominic heard a sob. Is he crying? Dominic worriedly thought.

He walked towards Elliam and gently made him look at his way. He's indeed crying, with tears on his unblemished cheeks. Dominic doesn't know what else to do other than embracing Elliam. He gave Elliam's head a kiss and tried to make him stop crying by saying sweet and comforting words.

After a while, Dominic felt that Elliam stopped crying and finally let him go. He looked at Elliam's red and messy face and couldn't help but let out a silent chuckle.

Elliam, who saw his husband making fun of him, frowned. "Hic... What's so funny?"

Dominic first cleaned Elliam's full of tears' face, and proceeded to fix the clothes that got wrinkled and not properly worn by his beloved wife. He made Elliam sit down by the edge of their bed as Dominic kneeled down before him.

"First, I never made fun of you."

"But you're laug--" Elliam got cut off before he could finish his words when Dominic pinched both of his cheeks.

"Second, you'll tell me what made you cry?"

Elliam couldn't answer, he couldn't because even he doesn't know why. Elliam looked at his hands, "I... don't know either. I'm sorry. " He said in a low and hoarse voice.

"It's alright to cry without reason. Maybe you just need to let out some of your emotions." Dominic cupped both of Elliam's hands and gripped them with his own hands.

After making up, Dominic and Elliam made their way down stairs. Dominic got a call from Rissa that she already received the pineapple pizza that he ordered.

Dominic wanted Elliam to eat inside their room, but Elliam said that he wanted to eat with everyone else.

All of the guest rooms and the master bedroom was on the second floor of the beach house. When Dominic and Elliam went down together, all of the members of the team was having their time in the kitchen, cooking food and some of them are preparing the dining table. All of them were still not eating lunches so they made themselves at home, cooking the foods available inside the fridge.
