Chapter Can you tell me what you mean?

"Are you certain you're all right?" When I stepped out of the vehicle, Aria reached out and grabbed my hand, but I simply smiled and nodded back. I took her hand away from mine, and I walked inside the house. I've just instructed one of the guards to pick up the car at the shopping center. My thoughts were whirling about in my head as I sat on the couch. Even though there were no tears in my eyes, my heart was filled with dread. Despite the fact that Randall was sleeping, I held him. I feel helpless and unable to find any source of strength. The door opened and I glanced up just as tears were going to start streaming down my cheeks. Even though I flinched, I didn't show him any signs of distress.

"Y-you are a little early." I couldn't keep my stuttering under control. I got to my feet and prepared to go into the room because my heart couldn't speak and I was afraid I may cry the tears I had been keeping back. He, on the other hand, pulled at my waist. He kissed Randall and then placed his face close to mine in an attempt to kiss me, but I just refused to look him in the eyes and avoided my head. "I'm smelling milk, so I'm going to take a bath first."

I believe they are still in the living room since they were still not in the room when I completed having a bath. I sat on the bed, combed my hair, and read a book. I glanced at the clock and noticed that it was still quite early. I'm not sure what I'm going to say to myself to persuade myself that I shouldn't think about it. I'd want to bring up the subject with him, but I'm hesitant to do so for fear that he'll think I don't trust him. I want him to be the one to explain things to me initially. I want him to tell me everything I'm thinking about him. I sank onto the bed and reveled in the comforting softness of the mattress. I'm hoping he doesn't come into the room while I'm still awake.

However, destiny does not appear to agree with me because he entered the room while he was carrying Randall, who was sleeping. He tucked Randall into his crib and made sure he didn't wake up from it again. In response to his retreat, he approached me and I immediately laid down and turned my back on him. My body remained still as he held me from behind. I simply let him have it. Immediately after he began kissing my neck, I felt a tickling.

He turned me to face him but I did not look him in the eye. He began kissing my neck while I was not moving. When he was removing my garments I pushed him lightly and got up from laying down. Sit up and immediately get out of bed.

"R-Randall ... m-might wake up." I grabbed Randall's bottle and rushed right out of the room. I walked down to the kitchen and there I was babbling. Looks like I don't have a runaway anymore.

When I finished mixing the milk, I initially spent 30 minutes before I walked upstairs. When I opened the door, they were sleeping side by side. I walked down to the living room to sleep there. I don't want to remain in this room since I will only feel weird. I lied down on the couch and I was not aware that I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I saw him dancing with Randall so he wouldn't wake up. I hurriedly stood up and attempted to pick up our kid. I peered outside and realized that it was night. I slept longer. I departed without informing him of my presence. My attention was drawn to his expression, which seemed to be astonished, but I disregarded it.

Aria's point of view

It's true what Zoe said about being able to grasp how a woman feels after you've had the opportunity to do so. I understand how she felt when he discovered that Adams was with another woman. I really want to embrace her and tell her that everything is OK and that she shouldn't be concerned, but if I do, I'll be a hypocrite since I'll be telling her the opposite. Who would be relieved and pleased to see your husband with someone else. If I saw Lucas in that situation, I'm not sure I'll be able to deal with it.

I took up the phone and dialed Adams' number.

Because I'm not used to seeing Zoe's face in that manner, I can't handle it. Even though it's still early in the morning, I'm already worrying Adams. He had already answered the phone after just three rings. Sighing many times, I turned to face Cindy, who was deep sleeping.

"Adams, I'd want to speak with you; are you available?". I could hear him taking several deep breaths at the same time, even though he was already agitated. I bit my lower lip because I had the confidence to tell him that, despite the fact that we didn't communicate much anymore.

"Of course," he said, a little hesitantly.

*****

We had just met a few hours after. We have arrived at the well-known restaurant. As I stepped up to his desk, I saw he was waiting for me. Despite the fact that he seemed to be in a rush, he raised his eyes to mine. I took a seat in front of him and didn't spend any more time. If I were to squander any more time, I am certain that he would leave me here without even asking what I was doing here in the first place.

"I'm not going to waste any more time wandering around. Do you have any idea how Zoe is feeling right now?" I looked at him with a serious expression on my face and raised an eyebrow. He, for his part, seems perplexed.

"Can you tell me what you mean?"
