Chapter 24: How They Got Married(1)
Liam snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Rory. The baby was not screaming anymore as Rory was feeding the baby. The baby with her hands fisted to a ball was holding her and Rory had a beautiful smile on her face.
He never has seen that smile on her before. She looked truly happy and at peace.
Looking at her like that, he felt distant from her. He was away from her for some months and she is entirely different. Maybe it’s because he is the one looking at her differently.
Or it could be motherhood that changed her...
If she was the Rory he knows, by now she would have snapped at him at least a couple of times, deservedly. And she is sick. When she is sick, she gets more irritable.
He was surprised when she almost begged him in the office. She never begs. And when she returned the ring, it made him livid. She provoked him further by saying that she would return the one gift he gave her.
It was his mother’s ring and no woman is worthy to have it other than Rory. She shouldn’t have returned it. And the necklace... he earned it with his own hands and chose the key locket himself. How dare she say she will return it?
She said some more words which he didn’t listen to. When she left with an odd smile, it made him lose control.
His mood got a little better only when he saw her punching Allison. Only after seeing that bit of familiarity from her was he able to relax.
But she is silent with him. She is doing what he asks of her without even saying anything even though she doesn’t like it.
