chapter 26: Kian, you idiot!

Archie's POV

This morning, the dining table is filled with variety of foods, even more than our usual servings as we have guests here. As we all sit in our chairs, the maids serve us the food. Mother-in-law said she'll help Gia by feeding her and that I should eat my breakfast. She has been feeding Gia from the time we came back. She's so affectionate towards us and loves Gia alot. Even having alot of food in the plate, all I do is keep pushing it around, not feeling like eating.

"What's wrong?" Kian whispers softly so that others won't hear us.

"Nothing." I state making him narrow his eyes.

"How can you say nothing when you're not eating your food? Obviously there's something." He insists.

"Um..I don't like this food." I reply not liking the food laid in my plate.

"That's your favourite dish, isn't it?" He says confused.

"It is but I'm not feeling like eating it now." I tell him alittle annoyed because he's asking me many questions.

"I'll call the chef and ask her to prepare something else, then. What do you want to eat?" He asks patiently.

"I want to eat cheese bread." I tell him and he nods before calling the chef and telling her to make a cheese bread immediately.

The chef nods at him and hurriedly goes to do what Kian asked her. He too stops eating as he wait for my food to arrive. While waiting, he gives me strange looks and stares at me as if he's thinking something deep.

"What?" I query feeling uneasy with his stare.

"You're behaving weird. I haven't observed before but now that I think about it, you were acting odd yesterday as well. One moment you were crying while saying I should have married a lady. But the next moment, when I said I would like to do what you wanted you cried even more and warned me not to marry." He explains.

"You think just because I said you should marry, I want you to get married again? You think that makes me happy, seeing you with someone else?" I utter, tears already wetting my eyes, "fine, you want to marry right, just go and marry anyone you want. I won't stop you."

I wail and instantly stand up from my seat before leaving the table, surprising the others. Making my way to our room, I wipe my tears as they freely flow. He keeps talking about marriage, does he really want to marry again because of babies? That thought alone makes me cry more harder.

"Archie." I hear Kian's voice calling my name but I don't turn to him instead I start running.

Once reaching our chamber, I enter inside and plop down on the bed before finally letting out loud cries. I don't want to cry, it feels stupid but I can't help it. He's constantly reminding me of marriage and making me feel bad. He said it's fine if we can't have more babies but then why does he remind me of marriage.

"Archie, what's wrong?" He asks worriedly after chasing me to our room.

I don't respond anything and just continue to cry while staring at him. Seeing him is making me cry even more. What if it's my last time seeing him? He's definitely going to get married again and I'll have to leave him. I can't be here when he brings another wife for himself. Where should I go this time? And what about Gia? They all love her so much, I'm sure they won't give her to me. I'll be alone again and that makes me so sad, I can't help but sob in distract.

"Something is not right with you, I'm going to take you to the physician now." He states because all I do is cry and that's worrying him.

Not bothering with him, I turn to the other side and cry more harder. But this time I'm not crying because of Kian's marriage but because I'm feeling hungry. I want to eat cheese bread. Instead of asking me to eat, he said he'll take me to the physician. He's not understanding me anymore.
