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

" Why are you here! " She asked Lyra seriously.

" That ...dad sent me to give this file to Mr. Adrian personally as there is a meeting at the company with all shareholders…" Lyra replied with a hurtful expression.

 Adrian walked towards her and took the file from her hands, thanking her. Lyra turned her heels to leave the room but Adrian stopped her calling her name.

" Lyra…"

" What is your today's evening plan! " He asked her. 

" Have to attend music class…" she replied meeking, looking at Kathie then at him.

" Can you cancel it for me, I want you to come with us to go shopping in the evening? " Adrian asked her.

" Sure … Mr. Wilson. I will accompany you and Katherine…'' She agreed with a bright smile whereas Katherine was burning with jealousy when he asked Lyra to accompany him without informing the plan earlier. She could not feel bad if he would have discussed it with her earlier.

" Okay. Come at sharp four in the evening" Adrian informed then Lyra walked out the room, nodding her head.

…..

He locked the door and walked towards the bed to take a nap. Then he noticed his wife's sharp gaze.

" What is the need to ask Lyra to come in the evening? " She questioned angrily. He sensed her jealousy and wanted to tease her more.

" I wanted good company while shopping so I asked her to join us. As you know my wife is boring…" he answered. Instantly she took the pillow which was next to her and threw it at his face.

" How dare you call me the boring wife!! " She shouted. She again threw another pillow at him but this time he caught it with his hands.

" Why don't you accept the truth! " He asked with a smirk. She turned her face away from him and laid on her side at the edge of the bed while mumbling something. Adrian also laid next to her and cuddled her placing his hands on her waist. They slept in a spooning position on the bed.

" Take away your hands from me…." She yelled and tried to come out of his grip. But he tightened his grip around her and kissed them at the nape of the neck.

" I was teasing you, buttercup..." he whispered at her earlobes while nibbling her ears. 

" I think ...hurting my feelings has become your habit now…" she said in a cracked voice. There were tears in the corner of her eyes. Her words caused a sting of pain in his heart as he knew she was partially true. He was silent as if he expected her accusation.

" Let's sleep. We need to go shopping this evening…" he informed and covered both of them with a comforter. He kissed her shoulder blade and pulled her gently closer to him such that her back touched the muscular chest. Then he closed his eyes, inhaling her body fragrance. 

After a few minutes, she heard his light snoring at her ears. The way he cuddled her, She could sense his love in his touch. But she was lost while thinking about his words which were contradicting his actions. 

Closing her eyes, she intertwined her hands with his hands which were placed on her stomach. She too drifted into sleep in his protecting arms.

 …..

Tat ..tat…

There was a knock on the door. Instantly, Adrian opened his eyes and noticed Kathie sleeping on his chest. He doesn't know when they changed their positions in sleep. She was sleeping soundly on his muscular chest. He had no heart to disturb her but again there was a knock on the door. He kissed her forehead and slowly placed her head on the pillow. He covered her body properly with the comforter and then opened the door. 

He noticed the head maid standing, lowering her head.

" Master … sorry to disturb you. But Miss. Lyra is here for you and Mrs. Wilson " she informed.

" Okay. Ask her to wait. We will be coming in a few minutes…" Adrian told her and closed the door.

Adrian thought to get ready first as Katherine was in sound sleep. He completed his chores and dressed in jeans and T- a shirt. He arranged her dress for her so that it would save time. Just in time, Katherine opened her eyes and found him getting ready in front of the mirror. 

She sat on the bed and walked towards him. " Where are you going now? " She questioned as she forgot about their evening plan. 

" Do you forget! We have to go shopping this evening" he said while combing his hair. She looked at him suspiciously and questioned, " Then why did you wake me! "

" I thought to wake you after getting ready as Lyra already came for us. I wanted you to sleep for some more time…" he reasoned.

" You are telling lies. You wanted to go with Lyra alone as you are taking advantage of my sleep…" she yelled.

" And you already called me a boring wife…" she added.

" Katherine, I was kidding. Please get ready fast. Lyra is waiting for us …" he pleaded.

" If Lyra comes with us, I don't want to come. You just go with her…" she said strictly.

" Please… try to understand, she came for us. I only asked her to come. I can't tell her to go away .." he explained.

" Then I am interested to come…" saying she shut the bathroom door with a loud thud.

" Kathie… All the fuss is not necessary. It was a small joke of me, " he shouted from the outside.

A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom to wash her face. " If you don't want any ruckus, better leave me alone…" she said seriously.

He twirled her towards him and gripped her arms. He said, " I am asking you for the last time, get ready…" 

" I am not interested …" she told her decision, looking at his face. Then she continued, " I am fed-up with your so-called instructions. Let me stay alone in peace…" in a serious tone.

He examined her eyes and left her arms from his grip. " Fine…" he said sternly.. The next thing that he did was make her gasp in shock.
