Chapter 127: Make A Promise
The next day, Yera woke up late. She had a very deep sleep. She opened her eyes and saw Xander with his elbow and hand supporting his head while he stared at her lovingly. Yera smiled and said, "Morning." Xander greeted her with a smile as he whispered, "Good morning Darling."
He leaned forward and gave her a little kiss, smack on her lips. Then he rose quickly from the bed. Yera noticed that he was already dressed.
"I will wait for you in the dining area with my dad. Get dressed hon. I’m going to show you a place very close to my heart before I drop you off at the hospital." he said before hastily leaving the room.
Yera’s eyebrows crossed. She was flustered with Xander’s casual facial expression. Yes, he was smiling but she felt it was very different from his usual smile; something was lacking in it.
She rose up from the bed and went directly to their bathroom to have a quick shower. Inside, Yera paused and sighed. Nothing happened last night. Was it because she slept heavily? Knowing how her husband had been acting over the past few days, she felt something was not right with Xander. Another long and heavy exhale came from her mouth.
"Maybe there’s a problem at work," she mumbled to herself unconsciously. Xander must have hit another hiccup. She would just ask him later. She didn’t need her head spinning so much just guessing what had happened. Or she was probably just thinking too much?
Yera’s face crumpled as she murmured, "He didn’t even notice my nightgown." She wore the nightgown for nothing. She suddenly wondered how long Xander took inside his study area. Well he woke up earlier than her so he probably did not stay up that long.
She immediately changed into a nice flattering black and white dress with a windowpane. The dress also had side ties that emphasized her curves. Then she went out of the room for breakfast.
Xander would casually talk like before during breakfast. Today was no different. While putting food on Yera’s plate, Yera couldn’t help but sense that something was off with him.
