Unwanted Wife novel Chapter 7

@Cafe

"It's not too obvious that you did really miss me." her friend Calliyah jokingly said.

"Cause you're out of the country for too long" she responded.

"Hey, what's with that silence?" she asks when she notices her best friend looked at her seriously.

Calliyah just intently looked at her as if she was being examined. Her friend even held her face but she managed to avoid it, "Hey what's with you? Having jet lag?" she joked around.

But Calliyah looked at her even seriously, "Are you sure that you are okay Jewel? Look at you now, you look different."

"What do you mean different ?" she asked.

"Look into a mirror and see what I meant. Seriously? What are you doing to yourself? You're not the Jewel I suppose to know. You look like trash. " her friend told her candidly.

She stops what her friend bluntly told her because she knows that her friend has a point. She disregards paying attention to herself and now she looks messy.

"I'm so busy that I forgot to groom myself, " I said in a feeble voice.

"Busy? Busy on what? Taking care of your insensitive husband? Don't make me laugh the best. Give yourself a pity. You're better than this." she positively says.

"Look who's talking, why? Are you and Dark on good terms?"

She just gives me sullen eyes, "What about him? You and your husband are the topic here, not him. Duh!"

She just nodded her head and didn't speak up. They order their food to eat and while eating they talk about a lot of things that obviously show that they really missed each other. After they finished their food her friend invited her to wander around shopping but before that her friend brought her to a salon for a makeover. It took hours for them to bond together without noticing that it's getting dark as they got out of the mall.

On the way home Calliyah drove her off. "Thank you best! I enjoy this day. Take care." she said as she came out in the car.

Her friend just smiles and gives her a sign to drive off.

She hurried as she got home thinking that her husband might be hungry. She didn't bother to change her clothes. She directly rushed off to the kitchen and started cooking.

A bet longer she heard the door open indicates that her husband is coming in. She faced him with a smile, "Thunder, I cooked your food." she said.

Her husband ignored her approach and ate. Even though her husband gave her a cold treatment she's still happy because it's rare for her to see her husband eat the food she prepared. And she was more than happy watching her husband enjoying the food.

She waited for him to finish and clean it after. When she was done she noticed that her husband was still there, sitting and looking at her intently that made her feel embarrassed.

"What time did you come home?" her husband asked.

"It was 6:00 pm." she replied.

Her husband nodded. "Where did you go?"
