Chapter 16: Chapter 16

When I got home, I rested on the sofa in the living room and leaned my back on the sofa, and looked at the beautiful chandelier. I opened my phone to send a message to Blade saying I'm home, and I threw it on the opposite side of where I sat. As I looked at how beautiful this mansion was for the two of us, I started to worry.

I'm just like a toy left and get me back when they’re done playing with their other toy. I shook my head because of the sensation of this thinking, I prolonged it. I'm just depressed with myself and I don't want that to happen because I'll have a hard time sleeping.

For a long time I have been experiencing mental disorders, I have learned more about how to control them, but there are times when it is not so hard to tame, so I just let it go and I found myself gaining weight, having sleepless nights undecided and draining thoughts, so as much as possible I just let it go and get myself back up as I usually do.

I was looking at the ceiling when I suddenly thought of cooking for Blade and myself. I'm not a great cook compared to him, but I can cook. I just self-thought because my parents are always busy with work and wandering, but I don't mind. I'm glad they raised me independently.

I also don't know why I didn't notice that they didn't have time for me. Maybe it was because I have a lot of toys or I have everything I asked for. But that's not it. They give everything to me, especially their time, whether it's their free time or a day off. I matured at a younger age and, what's worse, I'm an only child, but I didn't ask to have another sibling.

I also don't know if I'm just in denial because I can't see their shortcomings or if I just accepted them as I grew older.

As I chopped the ingredients and prepared the condiments that I would use to cook, I also forgot to put on the apron, but I didn't mind it and continued to cook and place the pork in the pan and let it saute. I’m cooking a dish that I’ve read about in the book, and it is called "pork adobo." As I completed what was said in the book, I first let it boil to make the taste of the pork go deeper.

I was sitting in the dining area waiting for the right amount of sauce to be left over from my cooking to know when it was done when I heard the door open. I didn't meet him and I just waited in my seat. I can't imagine myself being a good wife. My husband is tired from work. I just don't want anything and it's not my type of thing. Mom isn't like that to dad, maybe sometimes but not always.

"The smell, I'm really hungry." He said this as he went straight to where I was.

I smiled at him and he did the same as he removed his coat. I stood up to pick up the plates we were going to use for the meal.

“Welcome home. Sit there and we'll eat. How was the meeting? I asked him while putting a plate in front of his and mine.

I was surprised when he stood up to scoop rice and smiled, and I found it weird that he did so while I was also taking adobo in a separate bowl.

"Why?" I asked him as I returned to the table.

"Nothing, I just can't imagine you're cooking." He said as he sat down.

"self-thought," I told him

And he didn't say a word. He just waited for me to sit down, and then he looked at me as if waiting for a signal before he took the food.

“Eat," I said to him and he took some rice and put it on my plate while his face was serious.

He did the same to himself when I heard the sound coming from his tummy, and we just laughed.

“All right, I can do it, eat slowly so your tummy won’t be surprised,” I said to him as I stared at his handsomeness.

"Thank you for the food, wifey."

I just nodded and watched him while eating. He was eating with gusto and I was starting to enjoy it. I had just cooked for the first time for someone else to eat. Mom and dad didn't know that I knew how to cook. Only my nanna and the other maid of the house knew. The guards were the only ones and the maid who taste my food anytime I cook.

Then, seeing Blade eat sent butterflies to my tummy. He’s like a child enjoying the food he’s eating, and I did the same, and I’m very glad he liked it.

"How about the meeting?"

He was still chewing his food when he faced me, and I knew in the back of my mind I was enjoying this because he was so cute and I couldn’t help but appreciate it because he was already on his second plate.

"Do you want more rice?" I asked him

"No, I'm fine I’m satisfied with what I ate." He said to me, and he drank some water before speaking again, and I just looked at him while eating.

"About the meeting: it was fun. You can see through their smiles that all of my employees are excited.” He told me

"And it will be held next week, but before that, I need to push them first to make it worth the vacation." He added, laughing.

"You're a sly one, you know," I said too, and we laughed together.

"That's pretty much it, and they can bring a member of their family. I'm not fussy about that kind of thing, but as much as possible, I hope without children, for they really; completely remove their stress. " He said as he removed his necktie and unbuttoned his polo.

We just looked at each other and he suddenly swallowed. I did the same, and I felt like I was too hot, but I didn't think too much and placed the plates on the sink, and I headed out straight to our room, cleansing my dirty mind. I badly wanted to.

I don't know about him, but I need him as of now. But I don’t know how to say this but I’m not as straightforward as he was when it comes to seducing, but I want it badly. I just don’t know how to start.
