The rest of the day went like a flash, Lily spent it at Nora’s and she tried her best to keep up a good mood.
She didn’t tell Nora anything and Nora didn’t suspect something was wrong either. It was getting late already and Nora drove Lily back to Axel’s mansion.
Lily was exhausted and needed a nap, she had a lot to think about, and she just wanted to sleep and think about it in the morning.
She checked the time on her phone as she made her way into the house. It wasn’t so late which meant Axel wont be back yet. She was kind of glad, she wasn’t ready to see him.
The thought of her carrying his child bothered her. Of course, it was supposed to be good news, but it isn’t since Axel doesn’t want a child.
She couldn’t tell him yet, he would be mad and order her to abort it. She wasn’t ready to go through another abortion.
She sighed and walked into the house, surprisingly, Axel was there.
He was in the living room standing with a glass of wine in his hand. It was obvious he just arrived because he was still dressed in his tuxedo, just the jacket was on the couch.
She was so lost in thoughts that she didn’t notice his car, he looked at her and smiled at her.
“Lilyana.” He called excitedly and walked towards her with his arms spread wide. Lily found it weird, Axel isn’t the cheerful type.
“Hey.” Lily replied with a forced smile and walked towards him too. She hugged him and he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
“I missed you so much.” He muttered and Lily chuckled. She still found his actions weird.
She pulled away from him and stared at him with a questioning look, he smiled at her and Lily chuckled.
“What? What is it? Why are you so happy?” She asked and he shrugged.
“Can’t I be happy that I have the prettiest wife in the world?” He asked back and Lily’s cheeks heated up.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips, he pulled away and stared at her eyes.
“About last night, I am sorry I overreacted and ruined the night.” He apologised and Lily nodded. Her heart started to race as she recalled her situation again.
“It’s fine.” She muttered in response and smiled at him.
“So how was the driving lesson? Is Nora a good teacher?” He asked.
“Oh, it went well. Although I didn’t get to drive today.”
“Why?” Axel asked.
“I was scared so Nora just explained the basics to me. I will start properly tomorrow.” She lied and Axel nodded.
He pulled away from her and held her hand, he pulled her towards the couch and Lily followed him.
“The last ball of the season is tomorrow.” He said as he pulled her to sit.
“Yeah, I am aware. Nora told me today.” She replied and Axel stared at her. He noticed she wasn’t herself, she was a little bit moody and her actions seemed forced.
He knew her so well, she would have reciprocated his actions by being all over him and giggling but she wasn’t.
“Is something wrong?” He suddenly asked and Lily’s heart raced as she hurriedly shook her head.
“Reply with your words.” He ordered with a stern look and Lily held her phone tightly and tried to not tremble or break down.
“I am fine.” She replied.
“You don’t look fine. Is something bothering you? Do you need anything?” He asked and she shook her head in response again but hurriedly spoke up.
“No, nothing is bothering me. I don’t need anything.” She replied and Axel raised his brows. He noticed she looked a little bit scared too, probably because he ordered her.
He exhaled and changed his expression.
“Lilyana.” He called softly and placed his hand on hers, he noticed they were shaking. He looked down at her hand and noticed her grip on get phone was tight too.
“If something is bothering you, you can tell me. You don’t have to feel scared. Did I do something wrong?” Axel asked worriedly.
Lily realised she was being too scared and Axel might find out something was wrong if she continued that way.
She tried her best to ease herself and get the thought off her mind.
Suddenly she smiled widely at him and pecked his lips.
“I am fine, Axel. I am just kind of tired.” She replied and he raised his brows.
“Are you sure?” He asked and she chuckled.
“Yes. You don’t have to be worried.” She said and he nodded after a few seconds. She was glad she was able to convince him.
“Can I go to bed early?” She asked and he nodded.
“Now?” He asked.
“Yes. It has been a long day.”
“Okay then.” Axel replied and she smiled, she kissed him and he reciprocated.
She pulled away after a few more seconds and smiled at him before standing up and heading up the stairs.
Axel turned and watched her as she walked up the stairs. He could tell something was wrong and he was determined to find out.
