The next time we both woke up was when I started feeling weak on my waist. Last night, both of us went all out and did it not just once, but many times in a row before he finally decided to stop and give me a bath. But things went in a different direction even while bathing and we had another round of pleasurable night.
After that, I was too tired to lift my finger. There was only one thought in my head before sleeping. After all the work, I was sure that there would definitely be a child in my womb soon.
When I woke up, the tray of food was already kept on the nightstand. I glanced at it and drank the juice before quickly heading over to the bathroom. I washed my mouth and walked back to the bed before taking the tray and eating the food.
As I was eating, I heard some noise and glanced as my husband walked inside. Embarrassment was written all over his face at this moment. He scratched the back of his head before saying, “I am sorry.”
I shook my head. “It’s okay. I enjoyed it too.”
The blush on his face deepened as he coughed awkwardly and said, “Are you alright?”
I nodded before he came over and checked my forehead before heaving a sigh of relief. “Seems good. Okay, you don’t have to do anything today. I have decided to do all the work and then I’ll go out for a while before we will relax a bit., okay?”
I glanced at him and smiled. Maybe he still didn’t know that I had already cleared all of his debt. So I pressed my lips to suppress the smile that was stubborn enough to appear on my face and said, “Lewis, you will get a job this time.”
I saw him tilting his head before a hint of realization dawned on his face. His eyes widened. “You didn’t!”
There was a mischievous smile on my face. “I’m your wife. Of course I’m going to pay up your debt.”
“But-”
“Lewis, if I earned that much, I can earn it all over again. I’m famous now. So I can write another book using the same account and find another editor. Don’t worry.”
When Lewis heard the name ‘editor’ from my mouth, his face darkened. It almost looked like he was going to say something, but he didn’t. Instead, he closed his mouth and said, “Elise, you won’t have to search for another editor. I’ll do it for you.”
I opened my mouth and closed when it suddenly dawned on me. Was Lewis jealous and thinking of having another incident as Vampire? I had the urge to laugh, but I suppressed a chuckle and said, “Lewis, we just did a lot of things last night, and I’m sure I’ll get pregnant some day. And if we’re going to have a baby together, I’ll seriously not consider having another affair like before. Plus, I came back to you. I chose you over my past. Don’t you think you should trust me a little?”
Lewis’s eyes softened at that, and he pursed his lips before saying, “I trust you, but not those men. I’ll never allow anyone to come even a foot near you in the future!”
I finally couldn’t hold it in and chuckled while waving my hand as if taking his words to be casual. “Sure. Do your thing.”
After that, he quickly did his kitchen job and came to the room in the afternoon. I had already taken a bath at that time, but since I was too tired to move, I brought the laptop over to the bed and typed in a new storyline to post it on the website Webpad. Since I didn’t want to even remember Vampire, I was doing it all on my own, hoping to attract the attention of a chief editor from the website.
Just then, I heard the sound of the door opening and I glanced up to see Lewis all dressed up. I tilted my head in confusion. “Where’re you going?”
“Since you helped me, I can find a job and make our lives better.” He came toward me and kissed my forehead. “You don’t have to take the financial burden yourself.”
I shook my head and took hold of his hand. “I love writing. It’s not a burden.”
He ruffled my hair and smiled. “I know. So I’ll be back in the evening.”
After that, he kissed my lips gently before leaving the room. I heard the sound of the front door opening and closing before the entire house went silent.
To be honest, I didn’t want my husband to go away. As long as he went away, I would be haunted by my thoughts. But seeing how Lewis was determined to find a job and share financial burden with me, I could only be helpless and let him do what he wanted.
So I started typing a storyline. This time, I created a new fantasy novel with an ancient Chinese theme. To be precise, it was a mixture of cultivation and historical romance. Since I wanted Vampire to be out of the picture, I had to start with a new storyline and concept that was far away from my real life.
This time, I would write this for my husband.
A smile formed on my lips at that.
After spending two more hours writing the storyline, I finally got a chance to stretch myself and glanced at the phone casually. I hadn’t used it in a while, ever since I took it out to block Vampire.
I lowered my head and pursed my lips when I saw his name in the stranger blocklist on my chatting app. I stared at his profile for a while before I sighed and closed my phone.
I still didn’t know what to feel about Vampire. These days, I have been busy thinking about Lewis. So I didn’t get enough time to even think about the breakup. Now that I thought about it, I still felt lingering emotions in my chest that ached for the man.
Why did he have to do this to me? Why did he lie that he loved me?
Was I an easy target for him?
I pursed my lips as I tried hard to control my emotions. I didn’t want to waste my tears on someone who had dumped me so brutally. I still had my husband who would do anything for me and loved me so much that even after making him suffer like that, he’s still dead set on holding onto me.
I couldn’t help but feel my eyes tearing up at that. I still remembered how I had yelled at him for coming to the award show and giving me those shoes in front of everyone. Now that I thought about it, the ache in my heart doubled as a trace of guilt appeared there.
These things happened all because I was infatuated with Vampire, who was just watching the show! I gritted my teeth and silently made a vow. I would never ever fall for a man like that. Ever again!
After that, I refused to think about it anymore and opened the laptop again. Since I was already done with the storyline, I should simply focus on writing to get rid of Vampire and his memories!
