CHAPTER 26

CHRIS' POV:-



As I woke up again, I looked around and found her sitting on the couch. I knew she was only waiting for me to wake up. She was very worried about me. Her father was sleeping on the spare bed. I felt bad for troubling them like that. But I could not help with my situation. She yawned and stretched her arms above her head.


Chris: You should sleep as well Candy. Or you will get sick.


I said in a low gruffy voice and she snapped her head into my direction. She smiled as she looked at my face. I was smiling to make her feel better. I opened my arm for her. I wanted her to lay down with me on the bed. She quickly stood up and kicked her shoes off. She stripped her jacket off. She hopped on the bed and laid beside me. I wrapped my arm around her waist.


Cassie: Does it hurt?


She asked me with a worried tone. As if she could feel my pain.


Chris: It hurts that's why I asked you to be closer to me.


I replied with a small smile. She smiled and rested her head on my chest. Then she wrapped her arms around me as well. She pecked my forehead lovingly and I closed my eyes. I inhaled her sweet lavender scent deeply. Soon, I was in my dream land.



I opened my eyes again when I felt like someone was moving. I looked at Cassie, she was trying to get herself free from my hold.


Chris: What is it, Cassie?


I asked as I saw tears in her eyes. She wiped her tears and wrapped her arms around me again. I understood, she might have had a nightmare. I rubbed her back soothingly.


Chris: That's okay Cassie. It was just a nightmare. I am with you. No one will ever hurt you. I promise, Candy.


I cooed her lovingly. She sniffed a few times then calmed down. She looked at me and I pecked her forehead.


Chris: Close your eyes. Go back to sleep.


I said and she nodded her head. She snuggled even closer to me then closed her eyes again. I smiled and tightened my hold around her. I kept rubbing my hand on her back until I felt she was finally asleep. I sighed and closed my eyes again. I drifted off again, dreaming of my future with her.


I opened my eyes when I heard the birds chirping around. I looked at my sweet wife. She was still asleep with her and arms and legs around me. It felt good to have her around me. It felt good to even think that she was my wife. That she was mine and she belonged to no one.


I brushed my knuckles across her cheek and she smiled. I chuckled and pecked her lips. She slowly opened her eyes and gave me a worried look.


Cassie: Are you okay, Chris?


She asked me worriedly. I smiled and nodded my head.


Chris: I am fine Candy. Now tell me, did you sleep well last night?


I asked and she nodded her head with a cute smile on her face that melted my heart.


Cassie: Yes, I slept fine.


She replied and I smiled. She intertwined her fingers with mine and I pecked the back of her head.


Chris: You are my life.


I said and she hid her face in my chest.



-----------------------------------------------


It had been a week since my surgery. I was at my parent's Villa. They did not let us leave. My mother thought it would be too much for Cassie to handle all alone. To be honest, I thought the same. I did not want to burden her with anything. She was my wife, not my maid or something.


I was sitting in the garden, on one of the benches. Cassie came from behind and wrapped her arms around me. I liked every time she did that. It made me feel alive. Her presence, her smiling face and her hugs made me feel so alive. I really never knew how much I loved her. I did not just love her, she was my life.


Cassie: What are you thinking, Chris?


She asked me with a frown on her beautiful face.


Chris: Nothing my dear wife. I was just thinking when will I get my clean chit and I will have you whole.


I replied in a teasing tone. At first, she frowned because she did not understand. In a minute her eyes widened and her cheeks turned pink. She slapped my arm playfully and sat on my lap. She cupped my face with her fragel hands and leaned in. I smirked seeing her boldness. She was the same Cassie who used to push me away when I pecked her cheek publicly.


She captured my lips and I cupped the back of her head. She was intoxicating as always. Her mouth tasted like chocolates. She pulled away and pecked my forehead. I smiled because I knew she was just trying to make me feel better. And she knew how much I loved her. She knew I needed her around me. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she pulled me into a long, loving hug. Her sweet lavender scent made me feel better.


Iris: You guys can't even wait for a few days. Sometimes I think, you both will fuck each other publicly the day doctor Jason will give you clean chit.


I growled as I heard my sister. Cassie did not break the hug. I was thankful. I glared at Iris' who zipped her mouth shut.


Chris: Just that's the reason I am not taking her to the same country as you are going for your honeymoon. I want my wife with me, all my honeymoon. I don't want her to be snatched away from me.

I replied and she looked at both of us with wide eyes.


Iris: What? Where are you both going?


She asked with shock visible on her face.


Chris: Wherever we are going, it is none of your concern. It's my life and it's my wife. Go and find yourself another country.


I replied and she stuck her tongue out at me. I chuckled and Cassie giggled seeing her annoyed face.
