Married to my nemesis-Chapter 175: Family

After all she had to be discerning with what ever condition he lays doen since he’s the owner of the house, so what ever event that takes place, his judgement has to be taken.

"What condition now?" She said with a drag clearly tired with his obvious rules.

"That look of yours makes me feel like I’m making the awkward condition," he spout and then she stare him with a sight that would confirm him.

"Seriously, everyone knows that your rules involves making it fastidious."

Vixen turned to Arthur for a confirmation.

Without saying a thing, Arthur shrugged his arms.

" Don’t ask me father, besides, I’m the child, " he said and then we chuckled.

" Okay, I was planning that if you’re going to do the pool party then I want you to be alright. I want to make sure that your health wouldn’t —"

" Trust me, Vixen, I’m going to be alright, Arthur please tell your father that there’s nothing for him to be worried about. "

They both turned to Vixen with puppy eyes hoping they’re cajole was going to work.

"Okay, okay, well have the pool party tomorrow." Vixen said in conclusion, clearly giving up since he was unable to beat his family.

For some uncertain reason, they all struck into a laughter.

After a while, Arthur was done with the food on his table and then he stepped on his feet.

"I’m going now —" he claimed but then Abi had a frown on her face, she wasn’t told that there was a class that Arthur needed to attend which caused for the confusion on her face.

"But today is Friday," she recalled what she could remember as Arthur walked towards her direction to receive a hug.

"Actually Abi, Arthur has some lessons to take so he has to go for now," Vixen informed.

A pouty lip formed on her lips as Arthur came closer with his arms extended and then they hugged.

"Oh my God, my baby is leaving me so soon," she said as she snuggled him with kisses on his cheek.

He giggled.

"But mummy, is only Friday, I’ll be home soon."

"I know, I miss you so much I don’t want you to go anywhere but no matter how much I tell your father, he’s not going to let me stay with you. "

" Mummy, can I tell Daddy that I want to stay? " just at his request they turned to Vixen like they had planned for their dramatic act.

Vixen shook his head, this time he was not going to be persuaded by their actions.

" No, no, Arthur can’t just stay here, he has to leave. "

" But—" Arthur’s nanny came forward after been directed by Vixen to take his bag, just as she moved forward, Abi released herself from the hug so she could place her hands on Arthur’s cheeks and then she gaped at him till she was satisfied.

"Be a good boy, okay?"

"Okay, mummy," Arthur said with enthusiasm as he nodded.

Just as his presence no longer occupied the environment, the atmosphere became taciturn.

Abi continued with the dish on her table, she was so hungry she couldn’t help but eat on whatever was available for her. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Unwittingly making herself comfort to eat, she didn’t know that Vixen’s eyes were on her like he was watching some movie.

Only God knew what was crossing his mind...

For some reasons, he couldn’t explain his intentions this days and all of a sudden, there was this attraction that he had towards Abi.

It was something he never thought would occur.

"Are you okay?" She said when she noticed his taciturn was actually affecting her, turning her gaze to him, he shook his head with an indifference look on his expression.

Oh my, she couldn’t help but feel disturbed that he might be planning something.

She slowly took Abit from her meal.

"Are you sure?" She tried to inquire but he assured her with a nod and a smile.

"I’ll leave now, if you’re feeling awkward with my presence."

"No, no, that’s not what I meant, actually it came with the thought that all of a sudden you’ve become this doting guy."

He had a small smile as the corner of his lip raised.

"Why? You didn’t think I could be caring?" He said anticipating her candid answer.

And she was.

"Well—" she first had the thought of being mendacious but what was the use with making such lies.

This wasn’t the Vixen she knew, he was different and definitely his behaviour was scaring her like he was having this big plan.

"You’re someone who’s simple act of repented could cause someone to fall in shock. "

" And that someone is you? "

" Good you’ve gotten it. If is about the event that happened— really, trust me when I tell you that—"

" No, no, I know that you’re not considering that but I can’t help but think about your family and friends. "

" What about them? "

" When we spoke yesterday your words was poignant and i thought probably the contract was hard. "

Just at the state of speaking, Abi couldn’t understand why the words were stuck in her throat.

She was shocked and amazed at his simple treatment.

" Vixen—" she called out to him in a soft tone as he turned in direction just at call.

Yeah, this was Vixen but all this —

"Did you have something to say?" He cut the chase.

"Actually your words seems like an unbelievable thought, I just to make sure that I’m staring at you. Vixen, you’re concerned about the contract, what about Arthur, isn’t he something you have to be concerned about. "

" But your father, he hasn’t had the time to see you and if you want to make sure that he recovers, I don’t mind giving him preferencial treatment till he’s okay. "

Now she was completely convinced that there was something that was going on in his hand, raising her finger, she snapped it to create attention.

" What are you doing? " he said a bit grated by her actions.

"Oh, I was trying to figure out if my last words didn’t affect you but I think there’s something wrong here."

" What are you talking about? "

She took a sigh and then she had a candid stare.

"Vixen, this is the first time you’re been nice to me in the house, like you’ve never been this close and spoken calmly to me, so surely, I’m just trying to be sure that there’s nothing you’re planning."

"Are you really scared of me and my actions?"

"I don’t think I’m scared of your actions but your intentions gives me the fright. "

He didn’t say any word for unproposed reasons but his mind relayed the action.

Was he really that malevolent?

He was silent for a while making Abi think she had actually hurt his feelings.

"If those words really felt bad— I didn’t mean it that way—"

" No, no, I know you were just trying to be has honest as you can be and to be truthful, I can’t deny the fact that I’ve hurt you. Since you said you really want to be with your father then why don’t you go back to him, we could cancel the deal, I’ll return all the amount for the damages that occured."

" But what about Arthur, what’s he going to say when he discovers that I’m away? "

" I’m sure he’s going to understand soon, he may feel heartbroken but then he should know that he can’t get what he always want. There are sometimes he should realize life doesn’t give us what we ask for and your father, I’m sure that he’s going to feel happy that your by his side and soon enough he’s going to recover faster than before. "

" When do you want me to leave? " Her voice was in a minute tone, her voice became vague.

She couldn’t help but have the mind he was sending her away just like she meant nothing.

She felt heartbroken inwardly, she’d always known that his nice attitude never had something good that came with it.

"As early after the day of swimming lessons. I’m sure Arthur will feel contended and happy, if you leave before then it’s going to spoil his mood and I don’t want him to feel that way."

" You’re right, I’ll be leaving soon, I shouldn’t behaving weirdly, " she said with her tone a bit crack she tried to retai herself and the swollen throat of hers.

"What’s my problem all of a sudden," she said as she used hand to clean the tears that streamed through her eyelids she used laughter to adjust herself.

"I’m so sorry, is just that I can’t believe that is going to be so soon," she said withdrawing herself but it wasn’t working.

She had to sniff her nose hard to adjust herself but it wasn’t working.

What was wrong with her?

She chastised herself wondering what else she was expecting, this was what she always wanted.

Collect her money and once again start her business that collapsed as a result of Vixen.

She should be happy.

"I’m be in the room," she informed Vixen after she stood and then she headed for the elevator.
