Capture Her Heart After Marriage

“Ms. Alexia should be sleeping. Sir, do you want me to call her down?”

“No, I’ll go get her myself.”

With that, Chaim headed upstairs.

The room was dark and quiet when Chaim switched on the light.

The blankets were bunched up, making it obvious that a person was sleeping underneath.

Chaim walked toward the bed with slow, light footsteps, looking down at her creased brow and frown. She wasn’t sleeping peacefully. Was she having a nightmare? Chaim reached out to feel her forehead and decided against waking her up. He would talk to her tomorrow. It was already late.

Then, Chaim headed for the bathroom.

The next day, Alexia woke up when she felt a hand hitching toward her waist.

She startled awake and looked up to discover Chaim sleeping beside her.

“Why are you here?” Alexia asked in shock and not believing she didn’t know he even came back and went to bed at all.

Chaim unhappily opened his eyes and responded in a hoarse voice, “Why am I here? I am your husband.”

Alexia scratched her head embarrassedly, “Sorry, I’m still not used to you coming back to live—”

“I see you’re clearly used to being free,” Chaim said, getting up with a cold expression on his face.

Alexia pouted. Chaim’s words weren’t fair but she didn’t know how to respond. Ever since their first night, he had only come back to stay for two nights, never giving her any notice.

Patting her checks, Alexia got up as well.

After breakfast, Chaim dropped her off at the same intersection and everything seemed normal. That was, until she entered the gate and found a lot of people pointing at her and whispering.

“That’s her…”

“Oh, I know her.”
