His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770 - Rejection

To Iris’ relief, Jin Liwei didn’t demand that she explain right away. He led her to their suite first, carefully supporting her as she walked on shaky legs. If not for his injury, he would’ve already carried her himself. Their walking speed was slow but this suited Iris just fine because it gave her extra time to think things through.

Just as they arrived at their suite, dinner time was announced. She thought of instructing the butler to delay dinner so that she and Jin Liwei could talk first but before she could speak, he had already instructed the dishes to be served on the table.

Jin Liwei didn’t say anything to her. In fact, he had been silent ever since he asked her for an explanation earlier in the hallway. Nevertheless, he still monitored her food intake for the sake of her health and that of their babies. Although she had no appetite because of her anxiety, she still forced herself to eat. She thought that she was doing a good job hiding it but of course he still noticed.

He sighed. "Don’t eat that anymore. You look like you’re going to vomit." Then he refilled her bowl with hot soup and placed it in front of her. "Just finish the soup since it looks like it’s the only thing you can take right now."

"Thanks," she replied with a small smile after accepting the soup.

He didn’t reply as he continued eating his meal. His reaction, or lack thereof, caused a twinge in her chest. She could sense his restrained anger. It made her feel helpless and also worsened the guilt she was feeling. Her eyes burned and watered but she blinked rapidly to prevent the tears from falling down. He didn’t see her hurt expression because he wasn’t looking at her, choosing to focus on his food instead.

Dinner was absolute torture. The silence was uncomfortable. Emotions overwhelmed her, making her feel sick to her stomach and also her heart. Yet she remained as silent as he was. All she wanted was for everything to be okay. Not like this. Never like this.

After dinner, he told her to go to the bathroom first and wash up. She wanted to go together with him but his expression stopped her from inviting him.

"I need to make a few calls," he said before leaving the suite without another word.

She was left there all alone, staring at the closed door. Her hand clutched at her chest, trying to ease the tight, painful feeling inside.

"He’ll come back," she told herself. "Just wait for him."

She took a quick shower and changed into a modest nightdress. She also prepared pyjamas for him. Then she waited. Half an hour later and he still didn’t return.

Unable to sit still, she paced in front of their massive bed and tried relaxing her mind from the sound of the wall-mounted waterfall fountain. But it failed. She was still a nervous wreck. She continued pacing inside the bedroom while wringing her hands.

Finally, her ears picked up the sound of someone entering the living room outside. A few seconds later, the bedroom door opened and in came Jin Liwei. There was a thin sheen of sweat glistening on his skin. She instantly knew that he must have taken a walk in the mansion in an attempt to calm himself. It didn’t look like it worked though because his expression was still hard.

She stepped forward and welcomed him with a smile. "I’ll help you wash up."

"No need. I’ll do it myself."

Then she wiped her tears. She didn’t want to be seen crying when he came out of the bathroom. They still needed to talk and she needed all her wits with her in order to that.
