Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love-Chapter 215 Housekeeper

"What is it honey?"

Crossing her arms in the front, she stared at him for a while. "Why are you avoiding me these days?"

"Avoiding you?" Andrew raised his brows. "When have I ever avoided you Rachael?"

"Oh come on—" she scoffed. "You very well know what I am talking about."

When he did not say anything, she questioned him again. "Are you injured or something?"

"What?" he frowned.

"I mean, after what happened between us in your office, did you get injured during—"

"Are you asking if I got injured during sex?" When she nodded, Andrew pinched the space between his brows. "Who shoved this idea in your head? Emma or Elsa?"

Rachael: " "

"T-That is not the point," she remarked. "The thing is—and I am pretty sure it isn't something I am unnecessarily putting a lot of thought on but—you have been avoiding me for the past two weeks." free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

"Rach, why would I—"

"Physically," she cut him off. "You have been avoiding me physically."

When he did not retort or deny the claims, Rachael sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. "See I knew it, you are avoiding me."

Andrew pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. He had a lot of explanation to give. But before he could say anything, Rachael threw another question at him.

"Is it because I have gained a little weight?" she looked at him.

He frowned and carefully looked at her, trying very hard to figure out what weight she was talking about. For him, she still looked the same as when he had married her.

"I-I can lose the weight, I—"

"Alright stop talking," he snapped. "First of all, I don't know where you have gained any weight and even if you have, what is the damn problem? Even if you gain thirty or forty pounds, I will be more than happy."

Andrew sighed and sat down next to her. "If you think I'll stop loving you if you gain weight or any silly cosmetic reasons then you are wrong."

"Then why?" She looked at him. "What is going on? Did I make any mistakes that day?"

"No you didn't—" He kissed the back of her hand. "You were perfect as always. It's just—"

He paused for a while before continuing. "I think I overdid a few things that night so I am trying my best to hold myself back to not hurt you again."

"Andrew—"

"No, don't say that it was nothing," He looked at her. "I know I went overboard and I shouldn't have. So I am just trying to get a proper hold of my emotions again before we start again."

"Okay, I am so happy we are having this conversation." She cupped his cheeks. "I don't know about you but that was the best we have ever had. And so what if we both were a little rough? Big deal. As long as nothing breaks and we both have a great time, everything is worth it."

"But—"

"You will never hurt me Andrew, especially when we are in bed. Did you understand?" When he nodded, she gave him a peck on his lips. "And will you please stop overthinking? I thought that was only my thing."

Andrew chuckled. "I just want you to always feel loved." He gently caressed her cheeks.

"You always make me feel loved."

Just then Andrew's phone that was lying on the bed started ringing.

"It's Owen." He quickly received the call.

"Hey, is Rachael with you?"

"Yes," he answered. "What happened?"

"Put me on speaker."

"Alright, wait for a second." After putting him on speaker, Andrew inquired, "What is it?"

"Hey Rach, how are you?" Owen smiled.

"Cut the chase Owen, tell me what do you want?" Rachael chuckled.

"Damn, now you sound like my girl," Owen exclaimed. "Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if it's okay if I bring someone with me for our weekend plan."

"Who is it?" Andrew curiously questioned him.

"My new housekeeper," Owen smiled before hanging up.

"What—" Rachael frowned and looked at her husband who had a smile on his face. "A housekeeper?"

"Come here—" He grabbed her hand and pulled her in his lap.

"Answer my question first," she pouted her lips and slapped his chest. "Why would he bring a housekeeper to the beach house?"

"How am I supposed to know?" He shrugged his shoulders. "So where were we—"

When he tried to caress her thighs, she slapped his hand away. "Not now, we have too much to do."

"Why are women so weird?" He frowned. "A couple of minutes ago you were complaining about how I don't touch you enough and now when I am willingly doing it, you are slapping my hand away." ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Without saying anything, she got down from his lap. "Save all your energy for the weekend."

"Okay, I get it."

When he grinned, Rachael raised her brows at him. "What's with that grin?"

"You want me to save all my energy because you wanna have s*ex on the beach with me."

She threw her head back and burst into laughter. "You are joking, right?"

"No, I am serious. We can totally do it on the beach."

"Alright, I'll think about it." Without waiting for his reply, she walked away.

[Next Day]

"Do you think we packed enough for him?" Before Justin could answer, Elsa threw another question at him. "Did I pack his favourite toy for him?"

"Elsa—" Justin placed his hands on her shoulder. "You seriously need to relax."

"But—"

"Edward is staying with Rachael's parents and that too only for the weekend. Now apart from the fact that he has already stayed with them several times, you have packed everything. You even cross-checked everything thrice," he stated. "So now to answer your question, no you didn't forget anything."

Elsa sighed and nodded. "I guess but I still feel weird. We should have taken him with us."

She was against the idea of leaving Edward behind for their weekend plan. But since it was an adult and couple thing, they didn't really have a choice.
