321 The Insecure Husband (1/2)

”Sylvan, can we head to a 24-hour supermarket.” Yve order her secretary and bodyguard to turn the car around because she's hoping to cook a late night snack for her husband who's not feeling so well.

Being cooped up inside a room with classical music is a clear sign that her husband is bothered. Whether it's because of work or anything else, she has no idea. But calming down her husband is also a responsibility she had seen her mother did for her father in the past.

Since, she's used to buy groceries after hiding from her step mother and sister; she easily gathered the ingredients she needed for the dish she wants to cook for Vince. In no time, she finds herself on the road once more. Upon arriving home, Yve asks Chrysthe on how's Vince.

”He's still in the study listening to classical music.” Chrysthe answers.

With a little help from Sylvan and Chrysthe, the groceries she bought are brought inside the house and into the kitchen.

”You may go home now, Sylvan. Thank you. Chrysthe, don't let Vince know that I have arrived. Let me take it from here.” Yve instructs the two gentlemen who easily obeyed here and left her inside to do what she wants to do.

Yve cooks up some stir fry noodles with minced vegetables with toasted sliced bread on the side. She knocks on the door of the room where Vince has been hooked up in.

”Chrysthe, don't disturb me.” Vince answers thinking that it's his subordinate knocking.

Noticing slight anger from Vince's voice, Yve decides to call him.

”It's me, Hubby. Can you please let me in?” Yve uses a sweeter tone then the door opens.

But as she pushes the door, her husband is nowhere near her. On the contrary, she founds him standing by the window looking at the moon shining bright at the night sky outside.

”I brought you some food to eat? Maybe you would like to join me?” Yve gently asks her husband as she approaches him.

”I was told you have eaten your dinner already.” A hint of annoyance can be heard from Vince's voice.

”I did but I want to eat with you. So can you please join me, pretty please?” With the food placed on top of her desk inside the room, she walks close enough to wrap her arms around Vince's.

Vince places his hand on top of Yve's arms and gently pulls Yve to eat the snacks prepared by his wife.

Silently, they eat the snacks. However, Yve doesn't like how her husband is keeping quiet since she has arrived.

”Vince, is there something that's bothering you?” Yve asks him.

”Hmmm?? Nothing.” Vince answers her loud and clear but Yve knows it's a lie.

”Didn't we promise not to lie from each other or keep secrets?”

Vince stands up and turns around to walk out of the room before stopping just outside.

”It's nothing really. It's really petty so there's no need for you to know or even worry.”

”Petty or not, I want to hear it. Vince, remember how you listened to all my concerns. I want to do the same thing for you. That what couples do, am I right?” Yve asks Vince as she finally stands between Vince and hallway.
