Lahat ng Kabanata ng My wife, my enemy!: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

The weekend ended in a slight note of disappointment for Fredrick, he had allowed his feelings get the better of him without thinking of the consequences.The week had been progressing slowly and he barely saw Avery.He had a feeling he was avoiding her and he couldn’t help but let her have some time to process her feelings.They were slowly moving from a contract couple to becoming friends and he had ruined it with a moment of weakness, things like this were the reason he hated being vulnerable.“What was I thinking?!” Fredrick yelled, tormented by the constant flashes of that night.“Is everything alright, Sir?” Fredrick’s Secretary hurried in, hearing his disturbing exclamation.Fredrick glanced at him, he couldn’t help the hysterical chuckle that escaped his lips.“How could everything be alright? He thought, “I’m losing my mind”He had a hard time concentrating at work, making him helpless and angry at the hours he spent being unproductive.“What is my schedule like today?” He as

“Do you want to go for a walk?” Avery asked after he regained himself.“Certainly” he replied weakly, Avery wiped his face with her hands and led him out of Nei-nei’s room.“Are you okay?” Avery asked.Fredrick quietly handed the old picture to her,“Who’s this?” “Your mum?” Avery said, her face glowing with excitement.Fredrick glanced at her and was confused by her expression.“Why are you happy about this?”“She’s my mother in-law, why not?” Fredrick smiled a bit wryly, his eyes still teary,“My grandma told me about her…”“She said she searched for her, but she was never found.” “One of these days, she will come around.”Avery said, her eyes shining with hope.“I am not sure if I want to meet her, but I am sure about something…” Fredrick replied.“This…” he said leaning in towards her. His lips rested on hers, and he kissed her passionately.She pressed her hand against his chest as they kissed, she could hear tiny thuds of Fredrick’s heart pounding and he suddenly pulled away.

Fredrick’s core shook with inexplicable anger. He wasn’t angry at Avery, neither was he angry at himself. Maybe he was angry that a good thing had gone sour faster than he anticipated.During their conversation, as they drove back from Nei-nei’s house, Avery had mentioned that “they were not really married” and that was true.He had been carried away for a minute, thinking he was in a fling, but this was more than that.This was more than a fling to him, he knew this would lead to more.Fredrick was afraid of committing, he wasn’t sure how he’d continue the rest of his life after his grandmother’s death.He even considered searching for his mother again.After all, Avery had mentioned that she might have had a good reason to leave him with Nei-nei.Earnestly, he was spiraling out of control because Nei-nei had told him to live for himself and he didn’t know how to do that.All his life, he had spent it pleasing her- not that she had demanded it of home but because he felt guilty, he f

“What?! Why not?!” Avery exclaimed, alarmed at his sudden suggestion.“No, no, no! What are you thinking Avery?”“you just don’t look good enough to drive.”“You should stay with Marg til morning.”“That’s all I’m saying…” Noah retorted.He didn’t understand his sudden nervousness.He had been the center of attention for as long as he could remember, and he didn’t remember ever feeling nervous around any other person.Something was definitely different with Avery and it was intriguing.“I guess I should do that…” Avery replied hesitantly, Noah was right, she didn’t feel good enough to drive but she felt bad about sleeping out of her home.She thought about texting Fredrick but decided against it immediately.“It’s not like he cares anyway…” Avery sighed.“Hey, look…that’s Marg and Jordan” Noah exclaimed.Avery glanced at the distance, all she could see were figures of two people approaching them.“How can you tell it’s them? I can’t see anything!” Avery exclaimed.“I can tell my sist

She sighted a luxurious car waiting outside as she stepped out of the hostel.Maybe it was something in her but Avery could spot Fredrick’s taste in cars even in a crowd of other luxurious cars.Even though she had never seen this one, as she set her eyes on the Bentley that waited outside, she knew Fredrick had to be in it.Fredrick glared at his wife and he felt his irritation building up at the peering gazes of people as she came out of the hostel.As she approached the car, she pulled the door and stepped into the car.“What are you wearing, Mrs Hughson?” Fredrick asked, his voice registered a hint of agitation.“I’m out of clothes. So I borrowed…”“You borrowed?!” Fredrick retorted.“Avery Hughson borrows cheap slutty wears from college girlfriend, Did the luxurious wedding break up only three months after?”“That’s what they’ll say. That’s the story they’ll sell.Is this part of the contract, Avery?” Fredrick ranted.“I’m sorry…” Avery whimpered.Tears welled up her eyes.Fredr
