A Marriage Contract

Chapter 33

Eliza's POV-

"So, on the list we have a dress, new shoes, a bag and a bomb shade of lipstick." Jenna said.

We were going shopping today.

The occasion you ask? Well my husband messaged this morning and all it said was

'We are going on a date tonight'  

No permissions asked. No romantic gestures. Just a straight forward message. Simple, honest, and effective. Effective because the amount of butterflies I felt after that message was honestly concerning. 

I immediately texted Jenna to help me pick a dress out and in classic Jenna style she said we should go shopping. So, here I was holding a stroller with 8 month old and my best friend shopping. Lily was in kindergarten and Vincent was in the office as usual. 

"Here are your dresses, go try them on. I'll be with Jamie." Jenna handed me three different dresses. 

After that it took us two hours to almost finish. We sat in a ice cream cafe having sundaes. Jenna was busy playing with Jamie. 

"Can I take him with me forever? He is just so cute." She cooed.

"I don't think my husband will let you do that." I joked. 

"That's right, because your husband is a big powerful man." She said in a baby voice. I laughed. 

"After we finish eating, we have only two things left to buy." She said. 

"Which are?" I asked.

"A pair of fuck me heels and smoking lingerie." She said. 

"What?" I chocked on my ice cream.

"You can't possibly think you aren't getting laid tonight." She said horrified. 

"Am I?" I asked.

"There is 99% chance you are. Trust me." She said.

After the shopping trip I picked up Lily from her kindergarten. Around 6pm someone rang the doorbell. It wasn't Vincent, he never uses the doorbell. Martha went to open the door. A very beautiful woman entered the living room. 

"Hey, Ella." Lily waved to her. 

"Hello, Lily. Are you ready?" Ella asked. 

"All is packed and ready." Lily gave her a thumbs up.

"Wait, ready for what exactly?" I asked. 

"I am sorry, Mrs. Chae. I didn't introduce myself. I am Isabella Young, Mr. Archer's assistant. I am here to pick up the kids and take them to his house." She said. 

"Why?" I asked.

"I have been instructed to do so." She said. 

"By who?" I wasn't letting the kids go with anyone. 

"By Mr. Chae." She said.

"Yes mommy, appa told me yesterday that me and Jamie are going for a sleepover at Archer samchon's house." Lily said. 

"Really?" I was still skeptical.

"Mrs. Chae if it's okay, you can just called Mr. Vincent and ask him." Ella said. 

"That's a good idea." I said and called Vincent.

"Hello, wife." He said. 

"Vincent are the kids going to Archer's place tonight?" I asked.

"Yes." He said. 

"Why?"

"Because I want privacy." He answered. Immediately a blush crept on my face. I knew he was talking about our date tonight.
