Tom's heart tightens seeing the little wife silently crying alone. He waited for a while, but she did not notice his presence.
He scoops her up with no effort maintaining his straight face.
Sab was shocked and about to complain when she smelled a familiar male scent mixed with unique perfume which she really likes. It smelled very manly and great that could attract any women's attention.
She lifted her face to confirm and met Tom's expressionless face. His light brown eyes look very dark but felt gentle at the same time.
She lowered her head realizing that she had been crying for almost 30 minutes.
She doesn't want anyone to see her like that.
She was sure that the man notices her red swelling eyes from crying. But he did not say anything. She felt relieved.
She's been independent for a couple of years now and not used to explain things to anyone and she doesn't want to do it with him now or even in the future.
While inside the taxi, her body suddenly trembled and she cried uncontrollably at thought of the worst possibility could happen to her if no one step in to help her.
She felt weak, helpless and anguish at the same time. Her legs instantly become jelly and her energy seems to drain all at once and no matter how she consoles or reprimand herself, her eyes didn't stop from crying.
She used to face difficulties in life, but never been in pain or cried this much and this long.
Feeling that her eyes were about to cry again, she shifted her position, hugged the man's neck and buried her face on his muscular chest.
Surprisingly, she felt way much better in his protective arms and her eyes did stops from crying.
Her heart become calm and did not notice that they already entered the master's bedroom and was placed on the king-size bed.
Her eyes were closed and she's still hugging the man's neck.
Tom felt extremely unhappy seeing the little wife in low spirit. He caresses her face and lay down on top of her since she's refusing to let him go.
After some time, Tom spoke in a reassuring voice. "It's okay now babe. You're safe now, you can let me go. You need to clean yourself first."
Sab seems to awaken from a deep sleep as she heard his gentle voice soothing her heart.
She looked at the man on top of her with only half of his weight and followed his gaze.
Only then she notices the stains on her coat. She might have spilt it without knowing as she struggled from those scumbags.
Her body tenses up again remembering the incident, but it disappeared immediately when Tom gave her a light and quick kiss on her forehead then and on her lips.
As soon as she loosens her gripped, the man sat up and help her take off her jacket and shoes then carried her in the bathroom.
"You want me to help you?" Tom asked shamelessly as if it's a normal thing to do.
She blushed knowing what he meant. She immediately shook her head a few times. "I can do it. No need to bother."
After preparing her bath, Tom walks out and told her to call her if she needs help.
She turned around as she blushed again without answering.
Their marriage was not real, how can he ask her if he needs help on bathing and even if they are married for real, will that not be too much? As a truly conservative woman, her face becomes extremely red.
Her mood becomes a little better after having a good bath. She felt livelier than ever like nothing bad had happened. It seems no one can really break her after all. "You are really great, Sab." She smiled and patted her head as she gives herself a compliment.
Standing in front of the mirror, she realized that she had not had a pajama to change.
She stuck out her head while hiding her body behind the door. She saw Tom leaning on the wall while his arms crossed.
No wonder a lot of women fantasizing this man. He really looks great even for doing nothing. A wealthy young man with great looks, she can only see this in dramas. "So, this kind of man does exist and he is her fake husband."
Her heart skips a beat seeing the man smiles as he gives her clothes to change. She felt something has changed, something is not right.
She accepted the clothes with an awkward smile. After thanking him, she rashly closed the door.
Her face instantly turned red looking at the clothes given to her. These are the clothes she hides because it's too much for her conservative self.
Once again, her impression turned ugly at the man's outside. "She knew it. He will never smile at her unless he's planning not good. What a pervert!!!!"
Her face turned ugly at the thought. She opened the door again suppressing her anger.
Surprisingly, Tom is still outside. He seems predicted this will happen. He looked at her blankly, but his mischievous eyes betrayed himself.
"Boss, can you please lend me one of your shirts again? I promise to do the shopping tomorrow, so I won't share with you anymore."
"Why? What's wrong with the clothes? Was it too small? I have another here?" he then lifted a black version of the nighties. The one she has is the white version.
Sab cursed silently. "What's wrong???" A string nightie that is almost see-through, just below her tights in length and tong underwear. Of course!!! She won't feel anything wrong about it."
She wanted to beat the man who is pretending to be innocent. "What a good actor??"
Tom spoke again. "Was it difficult to wear? Would like me to help you?
"Bang..."
Before Tom could finish his sentence, Sab closed the door with great force. She can't take to see the man's face anymore and can't wait to curse.
"Pervert... Narcissistic... Pervert... Pervert!!! She stomped her feet while cursing silently.
The gentle, warm, protective and seems loving husband she has an hour ago was gone.
Was I just dreaming a while ago? Thinking of all the emotions she had a while ago, she felt exhausted again and extremely hungry.
Looking at the clothes in her hands, she felt helpless. How can she go out knowing there's a grey wolf waiting outside?
After contemplating for a few minutes, she wore the clothes with a heavy heart and red face.
She looked at herself in the mirror shocked. The version of her and what she knew were totally different from the woman in front of her. She looks pretty and sexy. She never thought or felt this way before.
Also, the clothes she wore was surprisingly comfortable.
No wonder this kind of clothing line exists. It not only enhances the figure of a woman, but it also gives a woman the confidence they never knew they had.
She felt very feminine for the first time. If the man outside was really her husband, she might not mind now wearing this sexy lingerie from now on, but he's not.
Tom frowned when he saw the little wife get out of the bathroom. He supposed to lend his shirt to her when he notices an unusual stacking of her clothes.
He tried to fix it and saw the nighties he bought to tease her underneath.
He not actually expecting her to wear them. Knowing her conservative personality, he only wants to see her funny reaction but forgot about it due to other stuff.
His lips were slightly curved as he picks them up. He wanted to see his reaction properly this time.
The little wife did wear the nighties, but she also wrapped her body with the towel from the neck down exposing the only portion of fair thighs down.
Sab looked at the man sitting at the edge of the bed. The disappointment is written all over his pale face. She sneered.
She then remembers that this man is suffering from a high fever. But carried her as if nothing.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
She's annoyed to him, but her stomach is more important at the moment, so she nodded.
"I ordered food for us, let's eat."
Her eyes lit up in happiness hearing this. She really wants to eat now to energize herself. This way, she'll have the strength to endure Tom longer.
"Okay!" she replied in agreement and walk out the door when the man suddenly pulled the towels and carried her.
She instantly covered here breast and angrily shouted. "Ahhh... what are you doing?"
"We'll eat." he calmly answered and walked out of the room with her in his arms.
"Put me down. I don't want to eat anymore. I'm not hungry..."
Before she could finish her sentence her stomach roar.
"grrr."
She looked at Tom and got angry again. "You fat pervert... Put me down. I'm not hungry now!!"
"grrr..."
"grrr..."
She then shut-up and look away in red face. Her stomach is not cooperating at all. It was too embarrassing to continue with her lies.
"Tom smiled. This little wife is interesting.
She looked at the man in surprise seeing the different plates of seafood on the table. It was like heaven, all her favourite seafood are there, shrimps, crabs, octopus, oyster were cooked in different ways.
There is soup, side dishes, veggies and even desserts. It looks like a feast, not dinner for 2 people.
Her stomach grumbled more as she salivates on the foods. She wants to dive in immediately.
These foods are not easy for her to taste. If she did, she needs to starve herself for a few days for only small portion.
Her happiness cannot be concealed as she looked at the man again with her clear almond eyes and smiled.
