The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 37

Nick's POV

I was getting tensed by then. It had been fifteen minutes since she had been to the washroom and I was waiting there. I turned to look inside the car. Ethan was sleeping in the backseat. I called her number but it was switched off.

When it was around twenty minutes I was done waiting. I opened the car door and picked Ethan up. Putting his head on my shoulder, he kept sleeping. Locking the car , I walked towards the restaurant.

She wasn't at the entrance, nor in front of the reception. I eventually was in front of the washroom. There was a waitress standing at a corner.

" Can you please check if there is a lady in green dress inside the washroom? It had been a pretty long time since she walked in." My voice came out impatient.

" Sure Sir." She went in but came out a little later .

" No Sir , no one's there." I was expecting or let's say hoping for a positive answer. Never in my life had I been so disappointed with anything.

I swiftly walked over to the reception. As soon as the receptionist saw me approaching, she stood up.

" How may I-"

" Did you see my wife walking out of here in a green dress?" I didn't have the time for formalities. My patience was running thin. She looked a bit baffled at the sudden question and then after pondering over it a while, spoke up.

" Yes , I saw a lady, a brunette in green dress leave from here." I felt my anxiety rise at her words. She said a brunette in green dress. Obviously it's her. She left !? Then where was she ? Why didn't she come back to the car?
