How to Keep a Husband Chapter 45
Alex’s POVHer soft lips parted when she noticed me. Tears were cascading down her cheeks. She was too pretty to cry so why did she have to experience it so much.

I really couldn’t help the betrayal and anger I felt when I thought about it. But then I realized that she trusted me so much that she told me what happened and I knew she knew what the repercussions would be and she told me anyway. Nathan reached out to me a couple days ago and explained the situation. I knew my cousin well. I knew that he wouldn’t have given up Annie so easily. I knew that it wasn’t Annette’s fault. There she was, standing in front of me, surprise written all over her face. “Alex,” she whispered. “What are you doing here?

After everything with Nathan and the drama with Paige and Alex, everything became calm. Alex and I returned to our usual routine of being in love with each other. There was something that was bothering Alex and I keep feeling like we were about to have another issue. I asked him a couple of times but he kept telling me that he was fine. I didn’t buy it. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what the problem was but I needed to find out. I couldn’t keep asking him so I decided to do the next best thing. It was high time I paid his parents a visit.

I knew what I had to do now. I wanted Alex to feel better. I wanted him to know that he could trust me with his feelings and emotions. The morning of the anniversary, I woke up before Alex and collected a bouquet of fresh, beautiful flowers I had ordered. Ruth said that Alex would always buy Brianna pink carnations. Those were her favorite flowers. The night before, I had already prepared a picnic basket. Then I went and added a few more things this morning. When I arrived home, Alex had already taken a shower and was eating the breakfast I had made before I left. “Good morning, Annie,” he said.“Good morning Alex.”“Where did you go?” He asked. “I got these,” I showed him a bouquet of flowers and his eyes widened. “Annie……what are you doing?” He avoided eye contact and dropped his fork. “I’m here with you. I want you to talk to me. This time around is a little tougher but I want to be here for you. Please let me in. It’s not always okay to handle these things alone. Trust me.”

When did it get this bad?I stared at the curtains and thought to myself."Marriage is a blessing, and love is a luxury." Those were the words of my late mother, an
