Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian gulped his throat looking at her red face which was not with blush but with anger.

" Buttercup… Don't you want to talk with your husband, " he asked in a sweet voice.

Still, she was looking at him in the same way. Slowly he moved closer and snaked his hands around her waist. Instantly she pushed him away and yelled, " Don't come closer to me. I know very well about your tricks ". He smiled inside and asked her, keeping an innocent face, " What tricks, love? "

She turned her face away from him and didn't reply to him. She tied her hair in a pony, ignoring his presence in the room. This time, he hugged her from behind by caging her waist with his hand and whispered, " I am sorry, Love. My mobile was in silent mode. I noticed your missed calls this morning. Please forgive me". 

She turned towards him, still being in his arms " I don't want your apologies. It was my mistake to wait for your calls even though I knew you were busy with your work " in a calm tone.

" Okay. I am taking back my sorry " he said and kissed her forehead then her both eyes.

He noticed wetness at the corner of her eyes and hugged her to his chest. She hugged him, placing her hands around his torso. There were no words between them. 

After a while, she said to him, " Even though you are busy at work and supposed to be late to return home. Just gave one message. You don't how many bad thoughts were running in my mind " 

He understood how much she was worried for him and said, " Okay. I will make a call the next time " while caressing her back.

She hugged him more tightly as if he could disappear in the air if she released him from her grip. Adrian never saw her in this state.

" Even though there was a fire accident, she was strong and supportive to me. What happened to her suddenly? Is it because she came to know it was not an accident but a blast.. " he thought.

" Buttercup….I want you to be strong and be my support in this situation. If you are scared and tense, I can't concentrate on my work, " he tried to explain and to make her understand the situation.

" I don't want anything to happen to you, " she replied in a hoarse voice. He released himself from her hands and leaned his face to match her height and said, " I am fit and fine. No need to worry about me. We will find the culprit very soon" 

Tears were rolling down her cheeks when he was talking with her. He wiped her tears with his thumb and pressed his lips on her lips. Their lips moved rhythmically with each other. Her hands were at the nape of his neck and his hands were around her waist. The kiss which they shared was slow and sensual which has no lust in it. The kiss they shared signifies their love and care for each other. They felt the kiss touch their hearts and their souls.

The kiss was interrupted when his mobile rang. Instantly he opened his eyes and she parted her lips from him. He kissed her forehead and asked, " can you please prepare coffee for me? "

She nodded her head and walked out of the room whereas he walked towards the nightstand. The call was from Duke.

" Good morning sir, We have a meeting with the other investors at 11. I made a call to just remind you…" he informed him over the call.

" Okay. I and Kathie will start in ten minutes, " he said. 

After ending the call, he wore his navy blue suit on the white shirt. He opened his wardrobe to take a tie, Kathie entered with a cup of coffee in her hand. She said, " May I help you? " 

" Yeah...Please tie it…" he gave the tie to her hand. She smiled and gave him a coffee cup in his hand. While he was sipping the coffee, he observed his beautiful wife tying him the tie. She was engrossed in her work by lowering her head.

" You know...it had been many years since I tied the tie. I used to tie to my father when I was in high school. He loved when I tied him a tie… " she told him involuntarily. He noticed the happiness on her face which she mentioned about her father. But one thing he didn't understand was if she loves her father then why she was living with Martin and Ruby all these years.

" Ad...do you know, he was the one who taught me how to tie! " she continued.

" Really! " he asked her.

" Yes, Ad. He loves me so much. After all, I was the only child to him and his princess, " she answered. Suddenly she realized that she was talking about her father. Instantly she zipped her lips to not speak one more word with him. 

She raised her head and said, " If you complete having coffee, I will place a cup in the kitchen. We are getting late for our work" 

He looked into her eyes and noticed a hidden pain. He didn't want to force her to talk about the topic which made her unhappy so he nodded his head with a small smile. She quickly walked out of the bedroom without looking at him.

He looked at her while leaving the room. 

" If the father and daughter bond was strong! Then where is he now? How could he leave her alone when she is pregnant? Is the reason that she loved me and carried my baby in her womb? " Many questions were running inside his mind but he had no answers to them.

He wanted to ask her these questions but she requested him to not ask her until she tells him about the past.

….

Thinking about it, he went to the living room.. He saw her talking with his mom. She looked at him with a smile and asked, " Shall we go to work? "
