Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 26

Hey, are you alright? " he asked sitting on the bed

I sighed in relief, he didn't hear anything, he still doesn't know but for how long?

"What happened, why are you crying? " What was I supposed to say? My daughter feels like I'm not spending enough time with her and she wants to know her father?

"Come on talk to me. " he sounded worried?

"There's no problem, everything is fine." for now

"Then why are both of you crying? "

"Nothing." he should drop it already.

"Evie, what's wrong? " he asked.

Oh boy, what's his deal with us crying.

"It's nothing Kel drop it already," I said before Evie said anything.

"You shouldn't be crying, most especially when you're sick," he warned.

"Why didn't you just be a doctor instead? You'd be good at it. " I angrily snapped and he sighed. Seriously him pretending to care was sickening.

"You wouldn't be able to come to work. In as much as I'd love to stay with you. I have things to do." I didn't even bother arguing, he was getting out of my face and I could spend the day with Evie.

"I'd send a nurse to take care of you. Get well soon babe," he said kissing my forehead.

I rolled my eyes after he did that, who's he trying to fool about being affectionate?

"Have a nice day Evie," he said kissing her cheeks. Why is he being affectionate?

As soon as he left we started planning where we'd go.

"I'm going to get ready, where do you want us to go to? " I asked excitedly

"To the park, the zoo anywhere. I just want to spend time with you." it just made me feel like I was neglecting her.

"I want to spend time with you too. " I said hugging her.

A nurse came in later ushered by the nanny. "I'm Rhoda and I'm your nurse. Mr Adrios instructed me to take care of you and make sure you don't leave the house."

What is wrong with him for God's sake. I'm fine already.

"I'm better now. I have to go somewhere."

"I'm sorry ma'am but you are not to," she said and I sneezed. Stupid Adrios, stupid sickness.

"It's fine, you can leave."

"You'd have to take your medicines."

"I already did," I said rather rudely.

He just ruined the day for Evie and me.

"You're not okay yet, maybe we should go some other time."

"I guess. I'm sorry we can't go out today, we'd go anywhere you want on Saturday."

"Okay."

"But that doesn't mean we can't do some things today," I said smiling and she smirked.

We spent the day together. She spent time colouring, watching cartoons, I read her a story, we played dress-up it was just like old times. I felt like I was neglecting her because of work. I guess I'd have to quit soon. She was my priority nothing else. And no one else.

"I thought I told you to rest West." I didn't even know when he came in, I was setting the table for dinner.

"I did and besides I'm fine now." he walked closer to me and placed his hand on my forehead.

"If you say so. Where's Evie?" he asked and she walked in.

"Hi Evie, how was your day?" she just frowned at him ignoring him.

"Evie." I persuaded her to answer.

"It was fine even though you didn't allow us to go out." so that was what she was mad about.

"Shayan is sick Evie, she needed to rest." he tried explaining.

"Don't talk to me," she said going upstairs.

"Evie come back here," I called but she ignored me too.

"What's wrong with her? " Kel asked and I sighed sitting on the chair.

"She thinks I don't have time for, even thinks I love you more than her," I said and he just laughed.

"If only she knows. You guys should spend time together then. We could all go out on Saturday, picnic, zoo, park, anywhere a child would like to go and have fun with other kids. She must be bored of staying with adults. "

Kel just suggested that? I was speechless. Since when did he become like this?

"You don't like the idea?"

"I do. Thanks. "

"Saturday it is then, we have a charity event to attend the Saturday after that too.

"Okay," I replied and a part of me kept on nagging me to thank him for taking care of me, I felt guilty earlier, all he wanted was to take care of me, I shouldn't have been a bish about it.

"Uhm... " how do I start?

"Do you want anything West?" he asked raising his eyebrows

"No. I just want to thank you for taking care of me when I was sick and all." I said and a small smile appeared on his face as if that was what he wanted to hear.

And then he said something I never expected to hear. "You're my wife, in sickness and in health. I was merely performing my duty. " I was speechless for the second time that night, was he being serious or...

****************************

"We're going to the zoo? " Evie asked excitedly for the third time in a minute.

"Yes Evie, the zoo," I said smiling carrying her with me.

"I'm so excited," she revealed and I smiled. It was too obvious.

"Let's get going," Kel said walking ahead of us.

We got into his midnight black Range Rover and it was awesome, really beautiful. We stopped by the park to have lunch, there was a place he reserved for us.

"This is so nice. We should do this often." Evie suggested and I agreed with her.
