Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

The maid brought the food to their bedroom. Kathie asked to leave her as she wanted no one to be in the room. She closed the door and waited for him.

After completing his bath, he opened the door and found Kathie at the frame. 

" I need your help! " She asked and turned, showing her back to unzip her dress. He unzipped her dress and went to serve the food for both. She changed to satin nightwear and joined the dinner with him. They ate the food in silence. There were only sounds of plates and spoons while eating. 

" Ad…. I am sorry…" she held her ears with both hands.

" Kathie...it\'s better if you keep your mouth shut. I am not in the mood to talk with you. You could have thought before you accuse me of your stupid thoughts. This time you heart my heart deeply…" saying he took a pillow and comforter in his hands.

" Where are you going! Please don\'t go away from me…" she begged.

" From now on, I will sleep on the couch. What if accidentally my hand or leg touches your stomach and you again accuse me of hurting the baby! " He said in a serious tone.

" So ...is this my punishment! " She asked him.

" Whatever...you think…" he replied rudely and laid on the couch. The next second, he closed his eyes and informed, " we have to go to the company. Better you sleep now…" 

" Ad ...sleep with me. I am sorry. .." she said and held his arm. He opened his eyes and said, " If you touch me again, I will sleep in the next room…"

Instantly she took away her hand and lay on the bed with a gloomy face. She turned in his direction and stared at him with longing. She wanted to sleep in his arms. 

" It was you who made him sleep on the couch. Who told you to slap him! Huh! Now face the consequences…" her mind said to her. 

Knowing about her husband\'s anger, she closed her eyes while the tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.

….

The next morning, she opened her eyes as she needed to empty her stomach then she looked at the chaise couch where Adrian was sleeping.

She remembered last night\'s incident. He told her that he wanted to sleep alone. She felt bad for hurting her loving husband. 

" Such a caring husband he is …" she thought and stood up from the bed. She walked to him and kissed his forehead.

Once she completed her morning business, she made a video call to Ruby and talked with Sam and Ruby. She was missing her bundle of joy. She wanted to share this news with Sam and Ruby.

…..

" Who is the person disturbing my sleep! " Adrian thought and opened his eyes. He saw his wife sitting on the bed and talking over the video call. He looked at the wall clock and checked the time. It was six o\'clock in the morning. 

" To whom she is talking early in the morning! " He stood up from the bed and walked towards her and found Ruby with Sam.

" Hi, Adrian...happy to know the news…" Ruby congratulated him. He stared at Kathie and smiled a little. " Please come back, why stay there? It would be a risk for Kathie and the baby…" Ruby said.

" I too think the same. I will try to send her back to your place. Don\'t worry…" Adrian replied.

Meanwhile, Steven joined the video call.

" Is the news true! " Steven asked anxiously as he knew Adrian\'s plan. Adrian nodded his head and told him that he will call him later. Steven understood that he doesn\'t want to talk in front of Katherine.

After a while, the call ended. Adrian moved away from her. 

" Ad … I am so sorry .." she hugged from behind. She kissed his back. He closed her to control his anger.

" Stop doing this...Kathie. I don\'t care even though you slapped me but your words sting deeply in my heart. You always make mistakes and ask me to forgive. This time, I don\'t forgive you. You would have to think before you speak…" he said and removed her palms from his chest.

He gave a cold stare and went to the bathroom. He turned on the hot shower and thought about his behavior. He felt bad talking to her rudely especially when his wife is pregnant. He wished to treat her like a porcelain doll and pamper her with his love but her words made him stone-hearted. 

…..

Once he finished his bath, he came out wrapping a towel hanging down his waist. Just then he opened the door, he noticed his wife holding a towel in her hand.

 She ignored her presence and passed over her. She pouted with his ignorance and followed him like a love-sick puppy. She twirled him all of sudden and placed the towel on his head raising her toes. She started rubbing the towel to dry his hair.

He noticed her feet and was worried about what if she lost her balance. He pulled the towel from her hand and said, " I can do it myself. Go and get ready " in a stern voice.

" Why can\'t I dry your hair! I am your wife and I have every right " she said authoritatively.

" Kathie… don\'t get me mad…" he glared and went to the dressing area at the corner of the bedroom. She quietly sat at the edge of the bed and was watching her husband while biting her nails.

Once he got ready, " Let\'s go…" he said without glancing at her. 

" You are truly a monster. Is this a way to take care of a pregnant wife! " she asked, throwing her head around his neck.

" When a wife like you is tough and fussy to handle then the husband will change from caring to old-hearted just like me…" he answered.

Instantly he raised her toes and bit his jaws. She doesn\'t know what happened to her so suddenly.

 " Ouch… ...." He hissed in pain with her sudden attack.
