Get Me Married

Chapter 53: Genesis’s wish

GENESIS

I noticed Jordan’s attitude and watched the way he left like I was a thief or an infected person he had to stay away from. It made me wonder what happen and why he acted so strange when we had spent the night together and he had brought me back to my room but came up with nothing and watched as the car drove away. I decided that it might as well have been a coincident, he couldn’t be running from me. Jordan I knew will never run away from something and I didn’t have a mask on my face that would make him run. I shrugged and decided to thank him later for what he had done, I liked the surprise and he had made me happy and with that, I went back into the house with satisfaction. Yes, Ava had left but I was happy, I felt different and relieved and it was all because of Jordan.

I went back into the house and turned to the kitchen where I was sure they were preparing dinner. I didn’t want to go back to my room and remain there, it would be boring and even if it was not, because I had my phone and books, too much isolation was never a good thing.

This time, I didn’t help anyone out, the last time I had tried helping out the maids, Jordan had been so angry about it, I could not forget what happened that day and yet it felt like it had been such a long time since he laid his hands on me. He was no longer behaving like a monster who wanted to tear me to shreds and always wanted to see me in pain. I did not want to do anything that would trigger him any further to act that way. I watched as they all went about their activities and we had a lovely time talking about things that I could not even remember till dinner was ready.

Being in the kitchen filled my nose with different scents of food and I couldn’t wait to start eating, so I had gone to the dining to sit while Anna served me. I dug into my food without hesitation and started eating the moment it got on the table.

I was halfway through when I saw Jordan coming into the house. My heart skipped at the sight of him and I was reminded that he had done something good for me. Something I had to thank him for. The anger I had a few days ago disappeared, my annoyance towards him also depreciated by a lot and gratitude replaced that feeling. He walked into the house and didn’t notice me at first till he got closer to the stairs and turned to the dining. I smiled at him when he turned to my direction, I was waiting for him to turn around and see me but he tensed up when he saw me like he was some kind of thieve who came across a cop. He washed away that look and forced a smile, a fake smile that I could see through and that bothered me. Then he turned back to the stairs and started walking.

“Dinner is ready,” I blurted out and he stopped in his tracks.

“Uhmm…” I stuttered, not knowing why I had invited him for dinner or what to say anymore.

“Would you mind joining me?” I added lastly and waited for his reply.

“No…I am not hungry, thank you” he said dryly without even turning back to me.

“Oh! Okay” I felt disappointed at his reply but he didn’t seem to mind because he continued his journey up the steps and I turned back to my dinner.
