Chapter 21

Xavier sipped his tea, while Amelia kept staring at him. She had been like that for some time, staring across the dining table, not eating anything. Xavier chose not to show concern because he knew that if he asked her what the problem was, she wouldn't stop talking about it, and he wasn't ready for her garrulous nature.

Xavier took another sip from the cup, and he noticed how she followed him with her eyes. It was beginning to be uncomfortable and Xavier couldn't take it anymore.

“What?” He asked, and Amelia blinked rapidly.

“Nothing,” she said and Xavier couldn't help but scoff at her response.

“You have been staring intently at me for the past 5 minutes”

“I was staring blankly into space, and you just happened to be there”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course”

“Pathetic” he responded, going back to his tea and taking a sip once more. The tea was quite hot and that was precisely what he needed.

“You don't seem like the type to drink tea”

“How would you know that?"

“I'm your wife, remember?”
