Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian remained silent even though he heard their conservation while working on his laptop. He did not want to make her feel bad, so he decided to ignore it. After some time, he turned to her and said, "I am finished now, let's go home". Katherine was glad that he didn't make a comment on her and her friend's conversation.

Katherine stood up and walked towards the door, but she stopped as she felt Adrian's hand sliding on hers. She turned to him and asked, " Is there anything else that you want to tell me? I can't help but feel that there is more to it than what you are sharing with me". Adrian was quiet for a while, searching for the right words to say.

He was worried that he will hurt her if he shares everything with her. He closed his eyes and said, " I am not sure if I can trust you, I need some more time to think. I will let you know later, okay? I promise I will tell you everything". She replied in a whisper, " I will wait for you, " she said and walked out of the cabin. He could hear her heels clicking on the floor as she walked down the corridor. He followed her silently then both entered the elevator. He pressed the ground floor and the doors of the elevator closed. She ignored him and looked at her mobile as if he did not exist in the elevator. He sighed and looked at her with a sad face. He loved her so much, he wanted to protect her from everything. He knew what he planned it is for their good but he doesn't want to reveal it.

As soon as the elevator reached the lobby, the doors opened. She stepped out of the elevator without waiting for him. He followed her silently. They both entered their cars and drove to their destination. In the end, he didn't reveal anything to her. The head maid greeted both of them as they stepped into the hall.

" Send me food to our bedroom in ten minutes? " Adrian instructed and went to their bedroom. Katherine felt guilty that she didn't care about Adrian's needs. She followed him to the room and noticed him removing his suit. As he started to undress his shirt, she took out a T-shirt and a pair of shorts from the wardrobe and handed them to him. He took it from her hand and walked to the changing place. Meanwhile, the maid kept the food in their room and left the place. When he returned, he noticed her serving food on the plate.

" Why are doing all these things? you need to take some rest " he said.

" I am sorry. I could have asked you about your lunch earlier" she said in a low voice. "It's okay. " he replied and started eating the food on his plate.

" Kathie...take some rest. Dont sit for a long time. It's not good for baby" he advised. " I am observing for a few days. you are concerned about sam , our Company and now about our unborn baby. Your priorities changed" she whined.

" You are right. Priories changes according to the situation. But remember my word. Priority will change but not Love. It's your decision to stay with me when I asked you to leave Canada for you and our baby's safety. So, don't blame me now" he said sternly.

Katherine was quiet for a while, she wanted to continue arguing but she controlled herself. She took a deep breath and said, " I will take some rest then, I promise I will not disturb you. "She walked towards the bed and laid on her back. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but his words were ringing in her mind.

He noticed her sleeping on the bed and then quietly finished his food on the plate. He walked towards the bed and then stopped near the side of the bed. He looked at her sleeping face, her eyes were closed. He sighed and said, " You are stubborn to handle. You don't listen to anything I say. You are acting like a child, and I don't like that. You are a grown-up woman, you need to listen and take my advice. You are not a kid anymore. " He turned to leave the room.

He was about to leave the room when she opened her eyes and said, " Where are you going? I thought you are not going to leave me?" she asked with a worried face. He turned to look at her and said, " I am not going anywhere. I will work here itself "

" Why don't you sleep with me? " She pleaded.

He looked at her and said, " I already cleared about this yesterday night itself that I won't sleep with you. Still, your words pricking my heart. I never imagined that you think so low of me."

Then he continued," How could you think that I will harm my baby? Now I am scared to sleep beside you thinking what happens if my hand or my legs hit your stomach in my sleep. What if I harm my baby?" in a worried tone.

Kathie sat up. She looked at him and said quietly, " I am sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me. Whatever I spoke with you. It didn't come out of my heart but in my disturbed mind"

"Please...Ad. I cannot sleep because of a bad dream. I can only feel safe only in your arms. Already I missed you when I was pregnant for the first time" She requested, looking at him. She knew about her caring and loving husband. He doesn't want her to beg for him as she has all rights as his wife on him. He is supposed to give her everything she wants. So, he gave her a sweet smile and laid beside her on the bed.

" You are the best...I love you, Ad. You are so sweet and caring," Saying she kept her head on his chest and placed her hands on his torso. She closed her eyes and felt calmness in his embrace. Slowly she drifted to deep slumber. 

When he was staring at her face, his mobile started ringing. It was from Emily. Instantly he attended the call as her father forcefully took her with him from the company in the morning.

" Ad...Please come here..." she begged him over the call.. Her voice was quivering.
