Semua Bab You Want Me Back, Don't You?: Bab 121 - Bab 130

“Are you nervous?” Maia asked as Anaya rubbed her hands together.“Is that even a question, Maia? Of course I am nervous.” Anaya took in a deep breath, moving closer to the mirror to take in her reflection.Her wedding dress was an embodiment of grace and beauty. The ivory tulle and delicate chiffon was sewn into a gorgeous gown that flowed down her length elegantly.The bodice was hand-embroided with detailed silver threadwork in floral patterns. The tiny crystals and pearls that scattered across the chest area were like snowflakes with a magical shimmer.The neckline was traced with lace that framed her collarbones gently while the light sleeves, fitted and adorned, added to the regal allure of the dress.The skirt flared into a soft silhouette, gliding behind her like a train. Completing the overall look was the delicate veil that cascaded from a jewel-encrusted hairpiece. Anaya fell in love with this dress as soon as she laid eyes on it. She knew this was exactly what she was loo

Anaya looked up from her phone when Henry stepped into the room. His tie was loose around his neck and his hair was messy like he had run his hand through it numerous times.Despite his exhaustion, her husband looked hot when he smiled at her.“Rough day?” She asked, opening her arms for a hug.“Yeah, but definitely not worse than yours.” Henry dropped his coat and bag on the bed before embracing her on the bed. He planted a quick kiss on her lips before pulling away to look at her intently. “How are you, my beautiful wife?” “I feel much better after Greta cooked rice porridge for me. This morning, I nearly threw up my kidney.” Anaya sighed and Henry laughed at her joke. “I’m glad you didn’t.” He chuckled and placed his hand gently on her tummy. “And how’s our little seed?”Anaya smiled at the nickname he had been calling their child for the past weeks. “Growing. And definitely already causing me a headache.” “Sorry on his or her behalf.” Henry said. “I wish I can take all the disc

“H-Hello.” Theresa let out, her voice small and apprehensive. Anaya noticed she wasn’t looking at her, rather Theresa’s eyes were on the wall directly behind her. She might be mistaken but the lady standing behind her husband was trembling.“Henry…” Anaya turned to Henry for an explanation. She didn’t know how to acknowledge her husband’s first wife’s sister who came into her house past midnight with torn clothes and dilating eyes. She wasn’t even in the mood to fake a smile because of how high her emotions were running at the moment.Just a few minutes ago, she was anxious, wondering if her husband was still alive and now, she was confused and a little bit hurt. She didn’t even know why but a dull pain was shooting up her chest and it grew bigger the more Henry delayed giving her a detailed explanation.“Yes,” Henry breathed out, his expression softening before he turned to Greta who was standing next to Anaya. “Greta? Can you help our guest here with some warm water?” “Sure, sir.

“So, let me lay it all out and get this straight. Your husband’s late ex-wife’s sister is currently living with you?” Dr. Thompson adjusted her red-rimmed glasses as she rested her elbows on the desk.“Gee, hearing it out loud sounds like all shades of wrong.” Anaya laughed a bit. “Yes, she will be staying with us for a few days.” Anaya had an appointment with her therapist once every week and it was a session of relief for her. Dr. Thompson was talented in making her tell her most traumatic stories without the fear of feeling judged. It was thanks to her therapy sessions that Anaya had stopped having her nightmares after the whole fiasco with Daisy and Sandra. Even though she hadn’t been in her best condition with her pregnancy, she didn’t want to miss out on the appointments, especially after she nearly had a panic attack last night.“And how does that make you feel?” Dr. Thompson asked, her deep eyes gentle and understanding.“I…I don’t know.” Anaya said, her head already aching

Henry stared at Theresa who was breathing gently and sighed under his breath. He wanted to go after Anaya and plead for her to forgive him for jumping to conclusions.He thought Anaya was alright with having Theresa in the house for a while but it seemed he had been naive to think that. He knew he wouldn’t be happy if Anaya had brought home her ex’s sister or brother to stay with them.Even though Anaya was an understanding person, there were limits he shouldn’t cross and it seemed he had overstepped his boundaries by bringing Theresa to the house.“Uh, Henry, I’ll be back. I need to get something to drink. Should I get you something?” Greta got up from the chair as she asked.“Just water will be fine.” Henry replied and Greta nodded before stepping out of the room.Henry sat on the stool as he watched a sleeping Theresa, feeling sorry that she had to go through all this. She was in a very bad state when she was found and he thought she was getting better this morning but this inciden
