Maddox was speechless.
What was such a big deal that she couldn't tell him straight? Seeing him frown in deep thought, Abigail decided to give him a hint by saying, "You should use your mind and think harder about the condition Minerva is in. If not, you should put yourself in her shoes, and you might just find out the reason." "Anyway, I'm done with my job here. I'm going hto check on my dad. He just senta message earlier." At night, the room was quiet.
Maddox and Minerva laid quietly in bed. She had her back facing him, and he watched her as he sighed deeply on the inside.
Although she was willing to let him in, when he cinto the room, he realized that it was pitch black. All the lights were switched off, and the curtains were drawn.
He didn't take any action but asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you turn on the lights?" She immediately said, "We should sleep with the lights off so it doesn't hurt our eyes." She made up a lie. In fact, she didn't have a habit of sleeping with the lights off. After she had gotten pregnant, she would wake up throughout the night to use the bathroom, therefore the lights would be kept on.
Abigail comforted her a lot and although she was convinced, she still wasn't able to let her guard down.
In the end, Maddox did not say anything and climbed into the bed silently in the darkness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMinerva wasn't asleep. He didn't do anything wrong, and she was the one who was acting strangely. She bit her lower lip as she felt frustrated and upset with the situation.
A warm body leaned over from behind her. His breath spread onto her neck, and it was ticklish. She lifted her shoulder reflexively.
"What's wrong?" A low and hoarse voice cfrom behind her ear. She moved her shoulders again and moved her body a little forward. Then, he leaned close to her once again.
"Did I do something wrong? Wasn't everything fine two days ago?" Although Abigail asked him to think about it himself, he still couldn't figure out what it was that he had done to upset Minerva. The only possibility he could think about was that he had been spending most of his tworking and it made her feel left out.
"Is it because of work? I had an important meeting last week, and I was away for a while, but I chright after the meeting. If you don't like that, I'll put everything at work on hold and I'll focus on spending twith you." The more considerate he was towards her, the more embarrassed she felt. He had been treating her very well, but she was acting like a child. Furthermore, the reason was that she found herself unattractive when she looked in the mirror, so she no longer wanted to see him.
She had heard about people saying that pregnant women tended to get emotional and she didn't believe it at all, but now she realized that it was true.
She always saw herself as a confident woman but now...
"That's not what this is about." Minerva shook her head and denied it.
In order to spend twith her, Maddox had already put aside a lot of work. Other than the important meeting the other day, he would usually not be attending to any work during this period. Plus, he had been treating her incredibly well to make up for the faults he had done to her in the past. He kept the promises he made to her during the day he proposed to her in the hospital ward.
Originally, he planned to hold a wedding ceremony, but she didn't want to be in a wedding gown when she was pregnant, and she also didn't expect that she would put on so much more weight since then. "What is it then? Can you tell me?" He questioned when he realized that she was finally saying something. He leaned closer to her, and his body was close to her back as his huge palm gently touched her belly.
"I'm your husband. I am your closest person in this world. Who are you going to tell other than me?" He asked patiently with a gentle voice. After listening to Abigail's words and his reassurance, she slowly let her guard down and she apologized to him.
He paused for a moment and then laughed in a low voice.
"Why are you apologizing for? You will never have to say you're sorry to me." "Actually..." She hesitated for a moment, organized her words, and then said slowly, "I saw myself in the mirror a few days ago, and I realized that I looked bad..." "Hm?" He didn't understand what he she was trying to say, and he also didn't understand why women were so obsessed with the way their bodies looked. He thought that a lot of women were constantly trying to lose weight. Although a lot of them Ofthem end up failing to do so, they would never give up on losing weight and would try harder the next time.
"Do you think I will be fit again after I give birth to this baby? Or am I going to stay this way forever?" "How could it be? Didn't you becfit again after you had Beanie in the past?" Back then, he did not know that she had given birth to his baby because she didn't look like she had a child. Despite that, he had no idea what a woman was like after having a child.
However, he still saw her as the sas in the past.
"You don't understand," she said, sounding a little annoyed. "I wasn't like this back then when I was pregnant with Beanie." Back then, her arms and legs weren't as chubby. Only her belly was slightly bigger and her figure was a little plumper. Her figure recovered quickly too after she gave birth to Beanie. Now that she had beclike this, it was hard to say if she would be able to go back to how she was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What if I keep looking like this even after I give birth?" She was very worried. "How am I going to attend my wedding? How am I going to wear a wedding gown? What's most important is that I look horribl I now, and if I was to stand beside you, people are going to make fun of me..." Maddox remained silent.
He didn't realize that she had so many worries on the inside. If she didn't tell him, he would never have known that his own wife was worried about all of these. He couldn't understand it at first, but then he tried to think about it from her perspective. After that, he could finally understand her worries.
If one day he was in a miserable state and stood by Minerva's side, he would probably have the sfeeling that he was not good enough for her.
Now that he had heard what she said, he felt that he had understood.
"Who would dare to make fun of you? It would mean that the person is trying to go against inst me, and Iwon't go easy on them." His tone was firm as he spoke. Moreover, he was protecting his wife. "If that's not good enough, then what about I accompany you?" She didn't understand what he meant for a moment. "What do you mean?" "If you think that you've becugly, then I'll also becugly." She was speechless.
Although she did not want to drag him down with her, she couldn't help but ask in curiosity.
"What do you mean by turning ugly? You can't give birth to a child so..." His thin lips curled up. "It's simple. I'll just disfigure my face or I'll gain weight with you." As he brought up disfiguring his own face, she was terrified as he said it as if it was nothing.
It was infuriating just thinking about it. She chided him. "What nonsense are you talking about? Disfiguring your face? Are you thinking of doing something to your face?" Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
