I’m Just His Wife

‘What on earth ?!’ I asked in my mind. This was the first time Ivan has told me that he will take or accompany me where I am going.

When I recovered from the pause and stared at him I returned my cold expression.

“I’m going to the police station. Kuya was detained and I’ll go with Mom there. Don’t worry, I can manage. Don’t take me, I’ll just take a taxi.” I said coldly again.

“What? But you haven’t had breakfast yet. You should eat first. You’ll go hungry.”

In my mind’s eye I was amazed at what he was saying. Why now does he seem so concerned about me? E while back then he didn’t care about me and he even hurt me. He’s really weird, he’s hard to read.

I sneezed and stared. “You don’t care …” I said.

“Of course I care … you’re the mother of my child …” He said so my blood boiled and I averted my eyes, did he really say that and that’s the reason e. I am just the mother of her child, nothing else. “And … and I’ll marry you.” He said so I turned to him. He swallowed and then averted his eyes and touched his neck. Wait, was he shy?

I just ignored what he said, even though I wanted to believe something was stopping me from believing him.

‘tss. It’s up to you, I’ll just take a taxi …” I said and passed him. I was about to leave the room when he grabbed my arm.

I frowned at him and we stared at each other. A few seconds passed and he averted his gaze.

“I’ll take you. Ah, no. I’ll just accompany you. I want to know the reason why your brother was in jail.” He said and asked me to leave the room. Unlike before, he no longer held my arm tightly. He seemed to be very careful with me.

When we got down he instructed Manang of things. Manang was smiling and looked at me as if teasing.

Ivan pulled me out again so I smirked at him. He just regretted me and we went to his car. I removed his hold on me. I was about to open the front seat door when he held my hand. I turned to face him and he stared at me deeply.

I felt like I was electrified by his hold but I didn’t know why I couldn’t take his hand away from mine. He averted his eyes and sneezed then carefully removed my hand from the door.

He himself opened the door for me so my eyes widened slightly. Sh1t, can it be cheap? Everything he does to me now was first time all! Did he have a good spirit so that he became like this? He makes sense to me now!

“G-Get in …” he stammered and he couldn’t look at me. Earlier I noticed his stuttering.

I got in the car and my hands got cold as he supported my waist so I could sit up properly. After I sat down he closed the door. He turned around and then got into the driver’s seat.

He started to drive and we were quiet the whole trip. I just focused my attention on the window. His actions were really as surprising.

Thirty minutes later we reached the precinct. He got out first and I knew he would open the door for me but I quickly got out of the car and immediately entered the precinct.

I heard Ivan take a deep breath and he followed me. I looked for Mom and saw them talking to our family lawyer so I approached them.

Their conversation ended right away and Mom saw me right away so she hugged me. Dad greeted Ivan and hugged him as well.

We wanted to greet Kuya but the police said he didn’t want to so we didn’t insist.

A few hours later, Ivan and I decided to go home. Mom will stay there because they still have something to take care of.

Ivan and I were already in the car and I was surprised when he hadn’t even started the car. I was a little dizzy because of the extreme heat earlier in the precinct and I really wanted to go home to lie down.

“Aren’t we going home yet?” I asked him annoyed.

He sighed before speaking. “Let’s talk first, before we go home.” He said that’s why I gasped in annoyance.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Can’t wait for that? I’m tired okay? I want to rest.”

He took another deep breath. “I’m sorry. All right, sleep first. Let’s talk at home …”

I just stared and closed my eyes and leaned back neatly in the chair.

He’s acting weird … but why was that? Why does my system not want to accept his new dealings with me?

Rigella’s POV

When I woke up I had a bad headache. I was also shivering because of the cold, because the air conditioner was on. I found out I was lying in bed, did Ivan bring me here again? This was our room again.

I struggled to stand up and put on slippers even though I was a bit dizzy and turned off the air conditioner. I’m used to air conditioner but why am I getting cold now?

I went out of the room and I did not see any of my companions here in the house. I looked at my wrist watch and it was three o’clock. My son will be home in thirty minutes.

I walked down the stairs and I was caught on the side of the stairs and I closed my eyes tightly because I was dizzy. When I was well I continued downstairs and went to the kitchen.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I opened the refrigerator and took the pitcher there. I also took a clean glass and poured water. I was about to drink when my head hurt again and I just heard the glass break. Sh1t! Fortunately, I was not hurt. I’m so dizzy! I grabbed the table and squeezed my senses.

“Rigella!” I heard Ivan shout but I couldn’t look away from him because I was dizzy.

I felt him approach me and hold my arm. I heard him swearing so I frowned at him.

“You’re … you’re sick. The height of your fever. Tsk, you’ve been hungry before.” He said so my eyes widened. I’m sick? I thought it was just a little dizzy.

She unconditionally picked me up with a bridal carry and walked up the stairs. He opened our bedroom door and laid me down on the bed. I was held by my arm because it was still cold in this room.

Ivan hugged me and took something from the cabinet. It was a T-shirt of his. He handed it to me so I was amazed.

“W-Wear this. It’s sleeveless because you’re wearing it so you’ll be even cooler. This was what you wear first.” He said so I took his t-shirt and put it on. Annoying, why does Ivan still smell even if it’s just his T-shirt?

I lay down and closed my eyes. I wrapped myself up. I heard Ivan sigh and the door open and close.

Why then, I fainted and all because of the flu eh Ivan doesn’t care. He even scolded me and told me what I was talking about. But why now, he even brought me here to the bedroom and offered me his dress? Hays, take care of him. Earlier he was weird.

I woke up when someone shook me gently. I opened my eyes and saw Manang Lisa sitting on the side of the bed and holding a tray with medicine, water and chicken soup. There was also a basin on the side table with alcohol and a clean handkerchief.

I sat on the bed and swallowed my senses. My headache still doesn’t go away but it’s okay. My eyes widened when I realized that I was going to pick up Ice at school today!

“Ma … Manang, it’s Ice. I don’t have her-”

He cut me off and smiled at me. “Don’t worry, daughter. Ivan picked her up earlier. They’re already playing with their father in the chin.”

I took a deep breath. Good and Ivan picked him up. Ivan only picked Ice up from school once because he was busy with work and with … Lara. Tsk, I got bored and frowned when I thought about that.
