The Rich Man's Wife

Chapter 19

1 month had passed

"Simon! The trial will start at 2, it's almost 1!" I yelled from the bottom of the staircase.

"I'm coming Del!" Simon shouted back as he jumped up and down, squeezing all of his bum inside his jeans.

"You jerk!" I rolled my eyes and went to help him.

"I'm sorry..." Simon smiled as he watched me zipping his pants.

"Simon be honest..." I lifted my face and stared seriously into his eyes.

"What? You're making me feel frantic babe!" Simon furrowed his eyebrows with complete grimace all over his face.

"Are you-"

"Am I what?"

"Pregnant?" My loud cackles immediately blared inside the room.

"What the fuck Adele?" Simon let out a deep exhale of relief.

"You're getting fat Si!" I giggled as I buttoned his shirt.

"Because you cook very well darling." Simon cupped my face as my arms enfolded around his chest.

"I hate to cut your cheesy lines but Simon, I have a divorce case to be finalized today. We need to be there and hopefully, I'll be able to obtain my freedom baby." I gently pecked his lips, showing Simon how much I really wanted to be with him officially.

"Yeah, so come on Del. I can't wait for your surname to be Adkins again. And soon, Konecki." Simon inched closer, hinting for an another kiss but I gently pushed him away.

"No way! I only want my surname Adkins!" I joked as I run downstairs.

"You silly Ms. Screamer!" Simon was kinda running from behind, ready to catch me.

"Gotcha!" Simon's breath was hitching, same goes to me.

"Oh fuck!" I squealed and pouted as I felt his strong arms stopping me from entering the car.

"You can't just win like that Adele." He wiped away the sweats that are nearly forming on my temples.

"I can... If we'll live together Simon." I softly smiled as I traced his soft lips with my fingers.

"You mean?-" Simon's mouth was left ajar before I shut it with our lips connecting.

"Yes baby! Move with me! I can't stand another night without you by my side Si." My hands smoothed down his messed curly hair.

"Oh I would love to baby!" Simon grabbed me by the waist, going for a passionate, grateful kiss.

"Just sign here, here, here... And here Mr. Sturrock." My lawyer told Alex.

And to my surprise, he just signed them insouciantly.

It's clear to me that Alex didn't even loved me on the first place

"Well Adele, I hope you're happy now." Alex dropped down the pen, showing a tight lip smile.

"Thank you Alex... Thank you for the memories... And for my freedom." A tear fell down from my eye as I felt my heart jumps for happiness.

"Thank you too Adele... And sorry." I can see my reflection through his glossy watery eyes.

"It's fine. Well, goodbye Alex." I instantly smiled as I felt Simon's arms around my waist.

"Hello Ms. Adkins..." Simon whispered to my ear, causing me to jerk by his beard that tickles me.

"Simon stop! Can't you wait?!" I whisper-yelled at him as I squeezed on his arm.

"Uhm... I'll go. Congratulations for the both of you." Alex half smiled, walking away from us.

"You're such an idiot Si!" I playfully slapped his chest.

"But he's worst than me lol." Simon lifted me and spun me around.

"Simon! I'm getting dizzy! Put me down!" I groaned and laughed.

"You aren't pregnant right?" Simon smirked at me.

"Of course no! Dickhead." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Lol, I love you babe." Simon held my face, rubbing the tip of our nose together.

"I love you too babe!" I giggled as I pecked his lips.

This is what you call "real happiness"
