You Are Still My Wife! novel Chapter 43

Frieze decided to stay at her apartment. Because the doctor told her family and friends not to stress her out, they agreed to her demand. Idri was not happy but he was helpless. David and Rose brought two luggage containing their son’s essentials and clothes to Frieze’s apartment. They were ready to help Idri now that they realize he is correcting his mistake. Simon on the other hand, took care of the company matters including recent transition of business from ABX Corporation. Alex and Peter were also helping Simon out with all the business matters after being promoted as business advisers for the company. He was busy with the company affairs and since Idri was busy giving all the care to Frieze, Simon decided to cooperate. Teresa decorated the whole house like it was a child’s birthday party. Although the house was small, Frieze has worked very hard on the interiors making it look like a fairy tale house. Rose was impressed by the decorations and could not help admire. Rose cooked delicious meal for the family lunch that she missed after Frieze left the mansion. David was helping Teresa with the decorations. Idri came with her supporting her on one arm and carrying her medical reports on the other hand. They were warmly welcomed that made Frieze smile with joy. She looked weak and pale but still was happy to see Rose and David right in front of her. She was missing them a lot.

Frieze could not help stare at her smiling face and regretted even more for taking away all her happiness that was related to him. However, he is determined to make her happy once again. David quickly gestured her to sit on the sofa concerned about her difficulty to stand for long due to her weakness. Rose and Teresa immediately ran to the kitchen to serve lunch for everyone. David walked swiftly to the kitchen too offering help to the ladies intentionally leaving Idri and Frieze alone. Idri gulped down his saliva and asked nervously, “How are you feeling now? After lunch, there is a prescribed vitamin tablet for you. Do not forget to take it and it should be taken for a week. Tony has brought you some fruits and I guess Rose has already kept in the refrigerator for you.”

She did not say a word. She only nodded which disappointed Idri. She was smiling seeing his parents and now that she is left alone with him, she is a dead body again. He still decided to be patient with her. “Do you want to change your clothes or maybe take a shower? I will help you out.”

She looked at him aghast and spoke weakly, “I can manage on my own. Don’t touch me. I don’t need your help.” Saying this, she stood up from the sofa to walk to her room. She was walking topsy-turvy fashion and Idri was quick to grab her from behind when she was about to fall. She was dizzy with all the medications at the hospital and the loss of appetite. She did not refuse his help anymore. She was too weak to refute. He quickly picked her up and carried her to the room. David and others in the kitchen pretended to be busy and did not notice the couple in front of them. But, they were smiling at each other looking at the slight progress. Frieze’s expression was cold and she felt even more painful by his touch. The fact that the man she loved no longer belongs to her make her feel even more hurt. As he carried her to the bedroom and softly kept her on the bed, she felt nostalgic. A sudden gush of pain covered her heart but she tried to control her tears. He opened the cupboard to find some comfortable clothes for her. He tactically slides his fingers through her clothes trying to find the best out of the available ones. She smiled at herself and thought she was dreaming. He is just doing this so that she can recover soon and all her emotions were gone until she became cold again.

He came towards her with a floral dress. He handed the dress to her and kept looking at her. Noticing his glare, she spoke angrily, “Do you mind giving me some privacy so that I can change my clothes?”

He gave her a mischievous smile and turned around. As his back faces her and she quickly tries to change her clothes, he spoke with a giggle, “I have already seen you several times. You know that right. You are still my wife. I still have the right to see.”

Her face immediately changed to red. As she wore the dress, although she was weak, she still managed to kick his ass with one leg and falling back on the bed. He laughed and turned around laughing at the way she was blushing. He didn’t mind her kick that didn’t feel like a kick at all. He extended his hand signaling her to grab it so that he could help her to back to the living room. If looks can kill, she would kill him right away for being such a freak at the moment especially when a divorce is knocking at the door. His casual attitude irritated her more and it made her believe even more that he has no feelings towards her as the divorce didn’t seem to affect him at all. Looking at him smiling at her, she feels being mocked by him. The rest of the people in the house were already waiting for them at the dining table. Idri pulled a chair for her while still holding her hand with the other hand. He helped her sit and he sat right beside her. She was expecting Rose or Teresa to sit next to her but they offered him the seat next to her instead. She had no energy to question and additionally, she was too hungry already. It was a long lost peaceful family lunch that they had after a long time.
