Chapter 108 - Just you (5) (1/2)

Wirata sighed with relief. She did not understand his ups and downs emotions. She told him to have other women, so he should not be so angry but should be happy instead.

Wirata lay dormant and stared at the ceiling with her mind pondering about the person who just walked out until she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it's past midnight. He still had not returned to the bedroom. Nearly two hours out there? Wirata took off her dress and put the robe on then went to the swimming pool. His tall body was swimming back and forth in the swimming pool.

”Stefan ... Enough, it's late, nearly one o'clock now.”

She shouted and walked to stand near the edge.

”Go away. Don't have to bother about me. If you want to leave just do it. Don't have to pretend that you care.” He spoke back. and kept swimming.

”I know you really want your freedom. Just go and leave me alone.”

The harsh voice shouted out the second statement.

Wirata listened to him and sighed.

”Come on, Stefan. Don't be stubborn. You might catch a cold, the weather is cold and the water is also cold.”

”Not as cold as you.” He short back at her with a furious gaze.

Wirata stood there for a moment, then took off her robe, left only her bra and panties on and jumped into the swimming pool.

Stefan immediately stopped swimming and looked at the woman who jumped in and started to swim along the length of the pool without talking to him. He knew the water was cool. He had not turned on the heater system.

”What the hell is this? Get out of the water now! You have just recovered from the flu. Silly woman! ”

He shouted at her with an angry voice but she was swimming back and forth and ignoring him.

”Did you hear me? I said stop and get out of the swimming pool now.”

He yelled and swam towards her then grabbed her body.

”Let go of me! Why didn't you listen to me first?! If you don't get out, I won't either! It isn't only you who can be stubborn.”

She argued and tried to wiggle off his hold. Stefan did not let go. He managed to drag her out of the pool, carried her to the shower at the corner and press the button. The warm water sprayed down her body.

He turned her around. She was shivering because of coldness. Stefan pulled her into his arms and hugged tight. They were standing under the warm stream of water while he used his hands to rub her skin to create warmth. Until she began to recover from shaking.

”Are you warm enough now? What a silly woman you are. If your fever returns, I will just say you deserve it.”

He scolded at her and reached out to pick the soap and rub it on her body. She stood still, let him bathe her. Her face was as white as paper.

Stefan's heart softened down when saw her looking so fragile like this. She was only thin and small compared to him, but why was she so resolute? She had acted so recklessly that he was secretly scared she would get hurt.

”Wine.”

He used his fingertips to lift her chin up. She looked up and made eye contact with him.

”Am I so bad in your eyes?”

He asked the question that was eating him inside. She shook her head in response.

”Do you hate me that much?”

He asked another question. She stared into his eyes before sighing.

”Not much.” She answered.

”So can you bear with me until the contract ends? I don't want anyone ... I just want to be with you alone as we have the written agreement.”

He asked her with a gentle voice. Wirata sighed, she grabbed the soap to rub on his chest.
