Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 21

"What?!" he sneered.

"But--"

"Women and their complex minds. No buts, Olive. It's already late. You need to rest." Kraius held my hand that was gripping on the swing and pulled me up, not minding if I'm hurt.

Krauis walked fast. We left my car in the park. Even if I was too dizzy, I didn't complain. Maybe he understood what I'm going through.

"This is your house?" I asked. We stopped at the end of the village where a two storey glass house lies. I was amazed by its exterior, but I was even more in awe when I saw its interior. It had a minimalist and modern design.

"Yes." He nodded. He led me inside his grandeur house. "I just moved in so I don't have a lot of things here yet. Besides, it's not that necessary," he added.

"Well, you're right," I commented.

Kraius and I headed to the living room. We talked about what happened to me. I didn't lie to him because I felt that he could be trusted.

"Suit yourself, Olive. There's women's clothes in the guestroom. It's already washed so it's clean," he uttered when he assisted me to a room.

I nodded in reply. "Thank you, Kraius."

"Sure. No worries. You're special to me, you know!" he winked and laughed.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up. You're so gay!"

"But I'm handsome, right?" he smirked.

I only shook my head and bid goodnight properly. I sighed after I closed the door. I walked towards the bed and sat there. I roamed my eyes around and smiled.

Just like the living room, this bedroom also had refreshing interiors. It's a combination of white and light green. The floor was carpeted while there's a big bed in the center of the room. There's a bedside table on its side and a small drawer. Everything was made of Narra tree and made shiny with varnish.

I stood up and entered the closed door inside the room. It was a small dressing room. My brows raised because it's not just simple clothes there. Elegant gowns, casual attire and ordinary clothes were inside, too. There were also underwear that I knew were still unused since they're still sealed in their box.

"Gay," I muttered.

I picked the clothes I needed and went out. I headed towards the bathroom and showered. He had a complete set of women's necessities so it wasn't hard for me. I intended to stay longer inside the bathroom. Even through the flow of the water, I would temporarily forget everything.

I was shameless towards Kraius. I took another pair of clothes from his dressing room. A denim shorts and a white shirt. It fitted perfectly on my body, so I didn't have any conflicts wearing it.

"Good morning," I greeted Kraius. I saw him having a coffee on the veranda, sitting comfortably on his chair while reading a newspaper.

Kraius lifted his head. "Good morning, Olive. I didn't wake you up. I know you're tired."

I smiled at him. "Thank you, Kraius."

"Welcome. Breakfast?" he invited me.

I shook my head. "I need to go, Kraius. I have to get my car at the park," I informed him.

"Okay," he confirmed.

I nodded in response. Carrying a paper bag that contained my clothes and phone, I walked out of Kraius' house. I walked a few meters before I arrived at my car. I was thankful that the village was exclusive, so I won't be the topic of conversations once someone saw me go out of Kraius' house with this kind of look.

I headed towards my parked car. I felt light for a bit, but it didn't last long. Seeing Atlas waiting for me at the side of my car, startled my being. I didn't do anything wrong but I felt like I did, just by seeing how he stared at me.
