Chapter 13: Hurt? Yes!
"As I said, it was my matter. You just take care of your matters and I will take care of mine," When she said these words, the light smile she had on her face earlier had vanished. She was very serious.
Vernon frowned. From how serious her demeanor had changed, he got more curious about what she was waiting for.
She wasn't even thinking about it in her mind so that he could eavesdrop.
He decided to stay with her and find out her secret. After living a lifetime of not knowing or/and understanding his wife, he wanted to know everything about her actions now.
He went and sat beside her and crossed his legs while humming a tune, looking around the room.
"Why are you sitting here?" Helena couldn't help but ask him.
Vernon stopped humming and turned to her, "I am taking care of my matters? Isn't that what you told me to do?"
"..." Helena took a deep breath to stop herself from cursing him out loud before speaking, "What matters are you taking care of by sitting beside me?"
"That's my matter. I don't want to tell you," Vernon said casually and ignored her, continuing humming and whistling once in a while.
Helena's lips twitched. This man clearly doesn't want to talk to her anymore. She turned her head away from him and ignored him as well.
The huge suite turned silent just like that. Casual humming was heard from Vernon once in a while but except that, there was no other sound.
