Chapter 0259
Then tell her to, but do it in a kind manner, okay?”
“Okay”
He goes back to eating, and soon he’s done. He leaves the table and tells me he’s going to have his bath
before he sleeps.
A few minutes later, I’m done with my dinner. I’m exhausted, and I just want to sleep. I get up, just as
Rowan comes back.
“You’re done?” he asks, sitting down.
“Yes…I wanted to check on Iris first, then go to sleep.”
“I’ll be up in a few.”
I nod my head and make my way to the master bedroom. It’s right next to Iris’s room. After making sure
that she’s asleep, I head to my bedroom.
Deciding to soak my tired body first, I run myself a bath. I get in and just let my mind wander. Everything
has been so confusing since I woke up. I want to believe that things changed, but I can’t help but feel that
something isn’t right.
Rowan’s behavior is on top of the things I feel aren’t right. Like, when did he change? And can I trust this
new change in him, or am I bound to be more heartbroken than I already am?
The way he’s behaving right now is how I’ve always wanted him to be, so why can’t I trust him?
I get out of the tub when the water gets cold. Wrapping my body in a towel, I go in search of something to
wear. The closet and drawers are filled with clothes. Only problem is that they’re all brand new. I
recognize none of them.
I take a red nightgown and put it on. After that, I go and check on both Iris and Noah. They were all
asleep. I pass a clock in the hallway and realize that it’s nine. I honestly didn’t know that I stayed in the
tub that long.
I freeze when I go back to the room and find Rowan there. Forcing myself to unfreeze, I steadily walk
towards the bed, pull the covers and get in. His eyes are on me the entire time.
“Why are all my clothes new?” I ask him.
“When you got pregnant, your old clothes obviously didn’t fit, so you gave them away to charity. After
them away and bought you new ones,” he says. “I only bought a few to tide you over. You can buy more.
later on
nod my head. That made sense.
“And about my pregnancy, you said you’d explain why I have a baby with another man.”
Something passes in his eyes, but it’s gone before I can decipher it.
“Can we talk about it some other time? I’m tired and I just want to sleep
and worn out. Like he
I wanted to argue, but the way he looked caught my attention. He did look tired and worn hasn’t slept in days or weeks.
I nod my head in acceptance and wait for him to leave. Only he doesn’t. Instead he begins taking off his clothes. I watch unable to speak as he takes everything off until the only stitch of clothing remaining is
his boxer.
He starts walking towards the bed, and my mind unfreezes.
“Uh, what are you doing?” I ask nervously.
He gets inside the bed. “Sleeping”
“What? Here? in this bed?” I stammer.
yes, is that a
problem?”
I gulp. “We’ve never slept in the same bed”
And it was true, Like I said, we would have S**, then he’d leave. We had separate bedrooms. So this is a
first.
Using the remote control, he turns off the lights.
“Well that’s going to change. You’re my wife. We should be sharing a bed”
“But…”
He shushes me by turning me around and spooning me. My ass is right over his crotch, and his arm is wrapped tightly around my waist. It’s not uncomfortable, but it’s new, so I’m tense.
“Will you just relax and sleep?” he whispers against the back of my neck, making me shiver.
1 force myself to relax. Within minutes, he’s out. I stay awake for hours, but eventually I fall asleep.
inething was definitely going on because the Rowan I know would never sleep in the same bed as me,
alone hold me like he is
Just need to figure out what I’m missing and what changed. The key to figuring that out lay in my
Jumbled mind. I have to get my memories bac
