Chapter 578: Traveling separately
“What do you think about going on a trip back home?” He suggested, fixing his tie in front of the mirror. “Maybe just for a few days.” He added, thinking she would never agree on a long trip.
She just got back to work, so the likelihood that she would take a vacation was not even remotely possible. She would never agree if they both took a break.
He did not mind putting his job in the back seat for her. He could trust Marcus to handle it for him. So far, he had done very well in his absence.
Besides, Ethan had suggested it to him once. He was willing to take on the role of a consultant for Marcus. Of course, with the blessing of his mother-in-law, Laura.
“I don’t know, Alex.” She answered hesitantly, thinking that she had tons of work waiting for her on her desk.
She only started on a case. It did not feel right that she would abandon it. She could not do that to the firm and especially not to her client.
“Why don’t you think about it first before you say no?” Alex offered, not wanting her to shut it down instantly. “Besides, Mom is begging for us to come and visit.”
.....
He was hoping that she might still change her mind and reconsider. A few days of rest, a familiar environment, and his family’s company might give them some good.
He could still remember what happened early this morning when he woke up, finding her totally distraught because of a nightmare she had.
“Ok. I will think about it.” Dani conceded, standing up behind him in the mirror. “But, I am not promising anything.” She hugged him, resting her cheeks on his back, wrapping her arms around his waist.
She wished it was that easy for her to say yes to him. But besides her responsibility at work, she had one more concern. She hesitated about traveling long-distance, especially if she had to take the plane.
Although, she had complete trust that their security would not make the same mistake again. She still could not help shiver at the thought of dozing off on the air and landing somewhere.
“That is all I ask.” He uttered as he gazed at their entwined bodies in front of the mirror. He held her hands in his, not wanting to let her go.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
He knew that she was still going through a lot. He was not over his trauma too. But he believed he was made tougher than her. Therefore, she would need his support more than ever.
He could only wish that he could magically make her fears disappear and bring back the smile on her face and her uninhibited spirit.
But it would take time, but he was not hopeless that their lives would eventually return to normal. Together, they could get through this. With each other support, their wounds would heal.
“Thanks.” She responded, feeling his heartbeat on her face. She could hear the steady drumming of his heart, wishing she could be as calm as him.
All she could do at the moment was draw strength from him. Because, as much as she wanted to appear strong, she could feel that something was broken inside of her.
But like before, she would get through this. She was not giving up easily. She would push through her fear, one day at a time. However, could she rush into it? Still, she was doubtful.
“Well, you better hurry up. You have an early meeting.” She reminded him, pulling herself away from him.
He was not supposed to go to work today, but he insisted on attending a board meeting scheduled today. It was just a half-day event. Therefore, he promised to return home as soon as it was over.
“They just have to wait. I still like spending time with my wife.” Alex said adamantly, pulling her towards him, then planting a quick kiss on her lips.
He missed doing that to her. Fortunately, his injuries were healing nicely. He could move more easily without hurting that much anymore.
“You are so naughty.” She reprimanded him, but instead of breaking away from him. “Just one kiss.” She leaned forward, capturing his lips in one passionate one.
She could not help it. She just could not get enough of her enigmatic and charismatic husband. She was glad that he was getting better and better each day.
“Come on, let me fix your tie,” Dani offered since she had ruined it when she pulled him into a deeper kiss.
She let her fingers hold the long silk cloth and took over on tying it around his neck. She had watched countless times how her mother had fixed her father’s tie every morning of their married life.
She was unsure if his father had intentionally told everyone he could not put on his own tie. But her mother indulged his claim and performed the task every morning for him.
It was one of the most adorable gestures that her parents had shared with her. There were countless more. Small things that made their relationship so much sweeter.
She had been witness to their great love story. She could only hope that she and Alex could match it if not surpassed it. She would be one of the luckiest women alive if that ever happened, just like her mom and even Katherine.
“If you keep up with that slow phase, then we will not be leaving this room anytime soon.” He pulled her towards his body, trapping her in his arms as her hands busied themselves on his tie.
He was teasing her, enjoying the feel of her body against his. It seemed that his plans would backfire on him if he did not release her anytime soon, feeling his body responding to her nearness.
“Finished.” She quickly said, planting a soft kiss on his lips before pushing him away. “We are leaving now.” She told him, grabbing her bag from the table and putting on her shoes.
As much as she wanted to lounge all day in their room, she could not. She wished she could indulge with her desire to be wrapped around his body, but duty called.
Besides, she knew he did not want to miss this meeting. She did not want to be the cause of his absence or tardiness. She looked at him directly in the eyes before saying. “Let’s go.”
He only smiled at her adoringly, enjoying how she was barking orders for him to move his ass. He did not really care if he was late. He knew they would wait for him all day if they had to.
He agreed with his wife that it would be a bit irresponsible. Dani was right. He could not miss this meeting, not when he hoped to push through with the plan of traveling, once Dani accepted.
“Ladies first.” He insisted as he ushered her out the door of their room. “But expect that I will be waiting for your return tonight.”
It would be a long wait as far as he could imagine until she came back home. He wondered if he could concentrate at work if he continued to think about her.
Well, it would be a challenge for sure as he guided her to the two waiting cars that would bring them to their respective offices. This time, they would be traveling separately.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
