MasukTessa“Tessa, are you okay?”Logan’s voice forced me to halt. I was going to my room after we tucked Lena in her cradle. She was sleeping under the effect of the vaccine.“I am fine, Logan. I am only tired.” I lied because I knew exactly why he was asking me this but I didn’t think it was right moment to discuss it with him what I had seen.Or whom I had seen with a mysterious man because Logan would never believe me.“Tessa, I have been observing you since we drove back home. You look lost in your own world like something is stressing you.” He said with concern.I looked away because he could read me so well.“I am not hiding anything from you. It’s only exhaustion because my body is recovering from child birth and my stamina is low.” I used a logical excuse.He didn’t look convinced but he nodded his head eventually.“Okay, go and take some rest before the lunch is prepared.” He said and went towards his own room.I quickly dialled Adrian’s number as soon as I entered my room.I had
Tessa“Stop crying, princess. You’re a brave girl.” I lulled my daughter who had been crying after the vaccination.Her face was red and it pained my heart because I knew that she was in pain and we couldn’t do anything to soothe her pain except pressing ice pack on the spot.“Give her to me or your stiches will get stressed.” Logan said.He looked in more pain than Lena. He couldn’t stop asking doctors questions after questions.“It’s fine. It seems like you need a tissue.” I said with a roll of my eyes.“She is in pain. You can’t blame me. I mean just look at her face.” He felt offended.“Okay, don’t need to be over dramatic. Here, take her.” I said and handed Lena over to him.“Princess, don’t cry. It’s okay. You are my brave girl.” Logan rocked her.We were in the hospital gallery. It was surprising how she calmed down and her cries turned into sobbing. He was carefully rocking her.I was sitting on a bench from a little distance and observed them.The smile on Logan’s face was pr
Tessa“These are for you.”I was surprised, no, I thought I was dreaming.“For me?” I asked pointing my finger at myself while my eyes were blinking at the bouquet of pink lilies, my favourite flowers.“Yes, I was passing by the route and when I saw these flowers I remembered that you love to keep them in your room.” He answered.I slowly take them from my hands and adored them. It was from the same shop which sold these lilies. I always bought from them.“The shop is in the opposite side of your office.” I said.“Let me put them in the vase.” He dodged the question and placed the lilies in the vase near the window.I watched his actions. He then opened the curtains so the sunlight could enter the room.“Can we talk?” He looked at me for my approval.“What do you want to talk about?” I raised my brow.“Anything in general. I am free this evening. I would have taken you and kids out but we can’t.” He said, I could feel his nervousness because he was scratching his nape.A smile threate
LoganLife felt better in a long time. Tessa was less cold towards me, though we rarely talked but she didn’t loathe me in the same way. She was recovering fast.I didn’t take any risk with her health and made all the arrangements for her to feel comfortable. Sometimes, she said that she felt bored because the maids didn’t let her lift even a single thing.But how could I tell her that I was scared when she nearly died.My phone rang when I was working.Raelynn’s number flashed on the screen and stress automatically consumed me.But avoiding her calls means inviting more problems in my life when I had enough on my platter. So, I picked it.“Hello, Ray.”“Logan, I hope I am not disturbing you as it’s your work time.” I heard her chirpy voice from the other side.I assumed I’d not hear her lecture this time.“Yes, I am busy right now but you can talk.” I said in a normal tone.“Logan, can we meet for dinner? You can decide the day according to your schedule. Please, don’t refuse me.” Sh
Tessa“Lea, if you are here to fight with me then excuse me. I have no interest in entertaining your ego.” I said to my sister-in-law who stood with crossed hands.“Oh, so you will show me attitude, huh?” Lea walked towards me.My defence mode was on alert because I couldn’t trust women like his mother, sister and Raelynn or my aunt.“Lea, we can talk in a civil manner. I am sure Logan isn’t aware of your surprise visit.” I said as calmly as I could.“Oh, come on, you think you can blackmail me by mentioning my brother. You are wrong, Tessa. It’s good that I came here on time and saw your real face. What can I expect from a woman like you?” She looked at me with disgust.“Lea, watch your words.” I glared her.“Please, except that you love to do two timing. After all, both are rich men and if my brother leaves you, Adrian Mcnight will be your next toy.” Lea said with so much disdain.“Enough!” I closed my eyes and raised my voice.People like her wouldn’t understand a civil language.“
Tessa“Mommy, I will go to market with Dad and buy new toys for Lena.” Lucas, who was super excited since he came back from school and found me in the house.“Lucas, she is still too small to play with toys. Why can’t you do one thing?” I cupped his face and stroked his cheeks, “You can spend your free time with her and play with her. She’ll like it more.” I suggested him.His face welcomed a wide grin.“Yes! This is the best idea.” He said and leaped.I only wanted my children to bond well with each other.“Mommy, don’t you get bored sitting inside this room all the day? I don’t see you and Dad talking much. Are you still upset with him?” Lucas asked me innocently but his question had a depth.I was tight lipped because my son asked me something that I couldn’t answer.He was only five yet he could observe the drift between me and Lucas.“It’s complicated, Luke. That’s all I can say right now but don’t worry, my love for you is the same.” I tried to divert his mind from the depressed
Tessa “Mrs. Wilferd, is there any issue at your house? Please, don’t get me wrong but what Lucas did today, it was shocking for all of us. He’s such a good kid who behaves well but today he aggressively pushed his classmate and also punched him.”Lucas’ teacher told me something very disturbing and
Tessa “Mommy, can you drop me at school today?” Lucas, who was ready to go to school, asked me.Usually, his driver or Logan used to drop him at his school and my routine was to pick him after school but his strange behaviour since the morning worried me. He was clingier, always sticking by my sid
Tessa “I am impressed, you know quite a lot about fashion, especially apparels. Initially, I thought you’re a fashion designer.” Mrs. Xi, the wife of host praised me.“I used to be a fashion designer before marriage. So, I still have a grip on the fashion but I don’t think I have said something ex
Tessa The ride back home was filled with heavy awkwardness. We didn’t stay for long at the party because Lucas was tired and he had school next day. Lucas was sitting between us so it gave me some space to breathe normally. Logan’s intense stares whenever Adrian tried to talk to me, even he was o
