COLD

Chapter 54 Say thank you with your actions.

After Reagan and Isabella left, Stella went back into their master bedroom. She walks towards the window and pulls the curtain apart.

She looks outside and is mesmerized by the breathtaking view of the large flower garden that's meters away from the house.

Stella closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Some flowers had started to blossom and it added a sweet fragrance to the air.

Tearing her gaze from the window, Stella walks back to the bed and makes to sit on it when she suddenly notices a paper sticking out of her bag.

She grabs her bag from the bedside table and pulls out the note.

Stella smiles as she reads what's written on the note. It was a love poem and who else could have written it if not Reagan.

She turns the paper and a part of it says,' Check the wardrobe.'

Stella glances at the wardrobe, wondering what he could have hidden inside. She turns and walks towards the wardrobe, pulling the doors open, she sees a big stuffed teddy bear holding a box in it's hand.

Stella takes out the box with one hand and pulls out the teddy bear with the other. She drops the box on the bed and hugs the teddy bear. She loves soft teddy bears.

She could perceive Reagan's scent on the teddy bear and it made her hug it even more. It's soft furry hair rubbed against her smooth skin and it tickled her.

She giggled and jumped around, still hugging the bear. She buried her face in it's soft chest and mumbled a song she liked to sing.

Stella walks around and suddenly hits a wall. Luckily for her, the teddy bear is covering her face so she doesn't get hurt.

She retraces her steps back but unexpectedly hits another wall. Strange, this room is very big, how come she has already gotten to the other wall with just the little steps she took.

Stella pauses when she notices the wall is a little hot. She quickly turns around and is surprised to see Reagan standing behind her.

" Ah, Reagan, when did you come in, why didn't you make any sound?" Stella asked as she hid the teddy bear behind her.

Reagan looks at her hand and with a single move, pull the teddy bear from behind her.

" Hey, give it back to me!" Stella shouts as she jumps and try to carry it from him but damn, he's too tall.

Reagan looks at her with an unhappy gaze." It seems like this teddy bear is stealing my hugs. How about I get rid of it."

" Noooo, it wasn't stealing your hugs, I was just enjoying it's soft furs." Stella explained. The cute teddy bear was innocent and she didn't want to part ways with it.

" Do you want the teddy bear so badly?" Reagan asks.

Stella looks down and nods.

" Since my wife wants it, I'll get more for her."

Stella looked up and smiled at him." Thank you."

" Thank you not accepted. From now on, we'll say thank you in form of actions, not by mouth." Reagan says as he moves closer to her with an evil grin on his face.

Stella grabs the teddy bear from him and runs away. Reagan smiles at her fleeing figure. Stella jumps on the bed and hide under the blanket.

Reagan slips his hands into his pocket and stare at the small lump on the bed." You can hide now but when it's night time, you won't be able to hide."

He notices her moving body stop and she comes out from under the blanket." Please let me sleep tonight." Stella pleaded with her hands clasped together.
