Mistaken Love (#Wattys2018)

Chapter 42

The Meltdown

The thing with Gale is really starting to piss me off. I can't even think and act straight because of it. His words keeps on circling my mind over and over causing me to really get nervous and have these doubts. Of course, I am fighting them with all I can and tried to keep my mind on the game. Everything is like a rollercoaster blasting inside my brain that I can't seek to stop.

I even ignored a phone call from Caius just to avoid the some misunderstandings. He might think that I'm sick or something to get him home.

That can be a good idea but I don't want to be too desperate. As soon as he gets home, I will really ask him. No more lies and stuffs, I will ask him straight away. As long as he tells me the truth.

But what if he lies?

How can he know if he's lying?

But he said that I should trust him so....Urgh, I just really don't know what to do. I have a load of works here and my mind is not functioning well. Jeez, now I'm feeling the taste of the hardship of marriage. Trust is really the thing we needed and it is very hard to earn.

We were so happy in Maldives but look at us right now. I was so determined that I will trust him and only him but if I just broaden the reach of my ears and I can hear all of these nasty comments about Caius.

I am already in this situation and I will deal with it. Marrying the guy who promised that will help me is the only thing that I should hold. He is my husband after all. We exchanged marriage vows and it would be so uncool if I break it.

No matter what happens, we are tied and what he is what I should trust.

I went directly home that night and cooked myself a nice dinner just to put my mind into something else.

"Are you alright, Mrs. Bateman? You barley touched your food." Claire asked, worriedly as she stands near the kitchen counter while I sit for dinner. Okay, I've been staring at my plate eversince I sat here.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not feeling well, that's all." I replied, picking up my spoon to proceed eating.

"Maybe your pregnant." Gwen joked, causing me to hitch a breath. "I'm just k-kidding." she quickly take it back upon seeing my reaction.

"I'm not pregnant." I cleared and continued to eat, trying my best to finish the food that they made for me.

After eating, I told the maid that they can finally rest so they can leave. Made myself relax with some hot shower then stayed at the living room to watch some TV...I look like an idiot but I'm still watching cartoons.

My hair is still wet and I'm only wearing a bathrobe.

And that quiet cold night, Caius called me again and I decided to pick it up this time.

"Hello?"

"Hey, baby." dang, just hearing his manly and husky voice makes me long for him more. I am starting to miss his heat. Usually at a time like this, we are already having a bath together or we are still eating. I am already used to his presence and I'm longing for him every time that I feel alone. "I called earlier but you didn't pick it up. Are you working that time?"

"Yeah, I was in a meeting. How are you?" I tried my best to sound alright.

"Good, there have been some change of plans because the weather here is not good. The awarding will take place tomorrow and I am stuck here at the hotel."

"Oh, does that mean that you it might take long before you come home?"

"I don't know. I will do what I can to be back home." he answered, yawning after. A slight disappointnent filled me. "Do you miss me already?"
