Lahat ng Kabanata ng My wife, my enemy!: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Avery drove out of the parking lot at Bryson’s Medical school after her last exam of the semester. The last few days had been extremely difficult, having to joggle school and suppressing her feelings. She was more miserable from needing her husband than she was tired from sleepless nights, preparing for exams.Margaret’s femme fatale thing was weighing her down and she was losing it.She wanted to him to come back home, come back to her. She suspected that Fredrick would be at Alex’s, having the time of his life.She would have probably felt easy if he didn’t leave the house on bad terms with her, severally, she found herself wondering, “What if this has really severed my relationship with him? How will I get back from that?”These were the kind of questions that weighed her down heavily and the only person she could talk to was somewhere in Mainland.Without thinking, Avery made a sharp U-turn towards the Mainland,“Mr Sinh probably will have some advice for me.”In no time, Avery

Holding each other in that warm embrace, Avery realized how relieved she was in his embrace.She clung onto him tightly, not ready to let go, making certain to breathe in the moment.Fredrick engulfed her in his strong arms, patting her on the back gently, he couldn’t help the wide smile that etched on his face, neither was he aware of the passersby that had their eyes glued to scene. He was too happy to care, too happy to let go.His wife seemed so feeble and fragile in his big arms, he wondered if she has always been this small. Without thinking, Fredrick scooped her into his arms- carrying her effortlessly towards the waiting car. Her surprised laughter filled the air, calling the attention of the public,“Wooops!” Avery squealed, chuckling heartily.“What? Am I funny?” Fredrick teased, his eyes had a glimmering glow in it,Avery blushed shyly, covering her face with her hands,“I’m just happy.” She admitted.Fredrick held her in one arm, using the other one to swiftly pull open

Waking up to an empty house, Margaret suddenly felt uneasy about their absence, particularly because they hadn’t informed her about going out. Her instincts gnawed at her the wrong way, making her incessantly worried that just maybe they weren’t out for a morning run. She paced around the house contemplating what ruckus must have happened while she was asleep, she would have felt better if Avery answered her calls but she didn’t and she didn’t know Fredrick’s number either. Contemplating of a way to reach out to Fredrick, Margaret’s mind wandered to Alex. She sighed sadly, wondering if he felt as helpless and lonely as she was. She sauntered out of the house to the front porch, lost in thoughts with her gaze fixed on her phone screen. Her thoughts seemed to dance rhythmically with her increasing heartbeat,“I’m going to call him.” She breathed.Alex’s phone rang endlessly as he drove past the quiet estates of White Avenue, he made no attempts to reach out for his screen in that mome

“I don’t know if I said it the right way, I don’t want to hurt you or anything but I want the child, Avery, I need him.” Fredrick said, he was sombre and exhausted from the argument.He just wanted a cool everyday with his wife, like other married couple. But Avery had been fighting him all week since they had that grim morning where Alex pushed him off the cliff- he considered it an off cliff situation because he initially wanted to give in to Avery’s fears and remove the baby. But Alex pushed him off that cliff when he fought for that baby and it suddenly occurred to me how wrong he was, he actually needed him. He sacrificed his relationship with Avery for that child’s cause and he would stand by it,“I don’t want to loose out on my child because of reasons you won’t share…” “What more reason?! Think about it Fredrick, the explanation you would give to this child, “you were conceived in a time when your parents were just having sex on contract. After the contract, my dad paid my mo

“Before I met my wife, I had no need for family. I saw no need. We are expecting a baby and I want the best for him, I want him to have everything I never had. A mother, a father, uncles,…”He didn’t even realize that his thoughts had been formed in his lips and he was spewing out exactly what he had in his head.“By Uncles, I mean you, Alex, and you Noah. We have a child to raise.” “May we never repeat the mistakes our parents made with us, with the boy that is coming to us!” Noah prayed. It was like him, it was like him to be totally crushed one minute and be completely excited the next.He was the very light of the McGregor family without the slightest idea. Noah had been the patch holding them together as a family for years and he didn’t have any idea.It suddenly occurred to her that it was okay, it was okay for him to go in search of himself- that wouldn’t stop her from being his sister, it wouldn’t stop her for spending the rest of her life making it up to her for thinking h
