Chapter 140 Big Bad Wolf
A muscular hand wraps around my waist while the other hand slowly trails a line down my spine; warm breaths fan my ear, making my leg weak.
I gritted my teeth while resisting the urge to grab Asher and throw him out of the training room. As if I could in the first place.
Ever since I was released from the hospital, just like Asher stated, he began to train me. However, every time, I can’t help thinking that something is wrong with Asher.
The times Asher is supposed to use to train me will end up with Asher teasing the hell out of me.
Regardless of how I complain about Asher’s touchiness, Asher won’t listen to me.
Whenever I threatened to report Asher’s teasing acts to Wyatt, Asher also wouldn’t hesitate to threaten me.
Sigh!
If I had known this was how Asher, that bastard, would take revenge for letting Wyatt kick him in the hospital, I would have stayed in the Hayes mansion just as Wyatt wanted me to.
After returning from the hospital, Wyatt and the Hayes family were afraid that another attempt like this would happen. And since Wyatt is always busy, they decided that I stay at the Hayes mansion until the danger subsided.
However, I disagreed vehemently while telling him Wyatt I'd rather go with him to the office. I can’t run from danger and depend on Wyatt forever; I’ll never grow like that.
After a lot of persuasion, Wyatt finally agreed to my request, and that gave Asher the chance to continue his mission as a teacher. Talking about Asher…
I leaned away from Asher's touch and whispered in a low tone without taking a glance at Asher. “Asher, can you please lean backward…”
Asher’s lips curved upward, and he chuckled, causing his chest to vibrate against my back. He blew warm air into my ear, causing goosebumps to form on my skin. “Are you afraid you’ll fall for me?”
I rolled my eyes and snorted loudly. Fall for Asher? Asher is thinking too much. Although my heartbeat seems normal whenever I’m next to him, it’s not enough for me to fall in love with Asher. “I’m afraid of Wyatt smelling other men's scent on me,” I responded haughtily.
Asher clicked his teeth with his tongue. “No fun. Time is up.” He stated and separated from me, his expression reverting to his usual coldness.
I exhaled in relief. “Ah. thankfully.” I completed Asher’s torturous training today.
Before I could take a step forward, my knees turned weak, and my legs gave way under me.
But before I fell, Asher wrapped his hands around my waist, his actions preventing me from falling. “Careful,” Asher whispered in a husky, deep voice that couldn’t help sending a shiver down my spine.
Seeing Asher’s face up close, my face turned hot, and my heart began to accelerate out of control.
Somehow, I can’t help recalling that part of the dream, but still...
I quickly shook my head and raised my hand to push Asher away. That dream is ridiculous; I should have forgotten it long ago. “Hm. Thank you..”
Asher nodded, his eyes flashing with a glint I couldn’t decipher. He picked up his things and walked next to me. “Where are you going? To the office?” He inquired, meaning if I was going to Wyatt’s office.
I shook my head and pursed my lips unhappily. “Wyatt ordered me to stay home for a rest.”
Upon recalling Wyatt's strict warnings, I puckered my lips in grievance. Yesterday and the day before, I defied Wyatt’s orders and went to Wyatt’s office to take a rest, much to Wyatt’s annoyance.
As if that wasn’t enough, whenever I stepped into Wyatt’s office, Oswald would magically appear from nowhere. That jerk even went as far as shamelessly arranging a table and chair in Wyatt’s office for his use.
Whenever Wyatt left the office for a minute or so, Oswald wouldn’t hesitate to tease me. This was one of the reasons Wyatt prevented me from going to his office.
Thinking about everything made me surge with so much anger. I gnashed my teeth while thinking that Oswald, that person, was too shameless.
Now that we are all on speaking terms, shouldn’t Wyatt's workload have been reduced?
Although we are all talking now, nevertheless, this jerk refused to reduce Wyatt's workload. If I didn’t know better, I'd believe that Oswald and Wyatt are not on speaking terms.
“Hm.” Asher nodded his head indifferently. Asher suddenly paused in front of me and turned to me. “Maia?” He called
I paused in my tracks and raised my head to stare at Asher seriously. “Hm?”
Asher parted his lips as if to say a word, but in the next second, he shut his lips and didn’t say anything. I tilted my head and furrowed my brows in bewilderment, wondering what Asher was playing at.
Asher’s hand holding his things held it tighter, and within the blink of an eye, Asher was out of the gym without even saying anything.
I pursed my lips, rolled my eyes, and continued to make my way out of the gym. I thought Asher had important things to tell me; I didn’t expect him to play such ridiculous tricks. I huffed immediately and walked out of the gym.
As soon as I arrived home, I took out my phone, only to receive a notification that Wyatt had texted me. I quickly opened the text, and the content revealed that Wyatt promised to be home earlier.
My lips curved up in a smile, and I hurriedly went to take my shower.
My eyes fell on my bulging stomach, and I caressed my stomach with a happy smile on my face.
My pregnancy is now three and a half months, which means there are less than two months left before I give birth to my pup.
For many, their stomachs would have bulged out a lot, but my stomach is still the size of a little pouch, and my weight doesn’t seem to change at all. Seeing the size of my stomach still left me astonished that I was carrying a little pup.
I took off my clothes and placed them in the laundry section before walking into the bathroom. Minutes later, I strode out of the bathroom, putting on a bathrobe.
I walked towards the closet and took out Wyatt’s shirt and a short. Immediately after I put them on, the thoughts of preparing a meal for Wyatt surfaced in my mind.
“I’m sorry, miss; the beta ordered us to prevent you from cooking. Whatever the miss wants, we will make it for the madam.” As soon as I arrived in front of the kitchen, a maid said to me.
Upon hearing Wyatt’s order, my lips pursed, and I huffed in grievance. That man! Wyatt knew that I don’t like to sit still, so he had taken precautions beforehand. I made a turn and returned to Wyatt and my room, knowing that regardless of what I tried to do, the maid would only follow Wyatt’s order.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I made my way towards the fridge, which was filled with different drinks, snacks, etc. I picked up a platter and selected ten different snacks for myself before placing them on the platter.
I made my way towards one of the sofas and laid on it. I selected a song and began to play it while munching on one of the snacks on the platter.
‘Maia. Maia.’
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice calling me, but somehow it felt as if the voice was calling from a distance.
‘Maia, what are you doing?’ The sudden growl made me snap out of it and regain my consciousness.
I stared at my surroundings in stupefaction. I quickly shook my head to snap out of my stupefied state.
I took a glance at my surroundings to realize that I had unconsciously begun to clean the room at some point. Not only that, I seem to have made a rearrangement of the room.
Staring at the mop in my hand, I realized that I had been cleaning, and Wyatt caught me cleaning, which was a result of Wyatt’s call.
I recalled that I was playing music and munching on snacks. How come when I regained consciousness, I found myself like this?
It can’t be that I fell unconscious and began to do things?
Was it sleepwalking? No, this is not sleepwalking because I didn’t fall asleep. Rather, it felt as if I lost consciousness while my body began to do things I was used to in the past.
This isn’t the first time this will happen to me. I recalled catching myself twice in the last two months. Somehow, I’ll find myself amid chores.
I lowered my head. Was it due to the life I have been used to in the Red Flame Pack? Thinking like this, it felt as if it had been doused with cold water. What if I get worse? The thought made fear surge through me. “Wy. Wyatt?” My eyes fell on Wyatt.
Wyatt’s brows furrowed, and a trace of wrinkles appeared on his forehead as if he were wondering what might have caused me to act in such a way. He placed his hand on my forehead as if checking my temperature. “Are you okay?” He inquired worriedly.
Wyatt wrapped his hands around my waist and collected the mop from my hand.
“I’m. I think I’m fine.” I responded and lowered my head shamefully. Wyatt already had so much going on, I can’t believe that I’m about to pile more on his trouble.
My actions made my eyes land on the half-bitten chocolate bar in my hand. I swallowed my spittle and gulped, finding it enticing.
My eyes fell on the amount of snack wrap on the floor, and I gulped shamefully. I seem to have gone far eating snacks when I lost my rationality, but with this craving, I couldn’t help it.
Immediately, I raised the chocolate towards my mouth, but before I could bite it successfully, Wyatt snatched it from my hand and gave me a stern look. “Enough.”
I smacked my lips together and batted my eyelids at Wyatt pitifully. “Just this last time.” I pleaded, my eyes tracing the movement of the chocolate in his hand.
“No.” Wyatt shook his head and separated from me, not having the intention of listening to me.
My lips quivered, and tears began to stream down my cheeks. I pointed at Wyatt in grievances. “It’s not as if I wanted to eat it myself. It’s the pregnancy craving, okay? Who made me pregnant? It’s clearly you. Now you won’t take responsibility. Such a big bad wolf. Are you afraid that I’ll gain more weight and look ugly? I knew it; all men are jerks, and no man is different.” I plopped onto the sofa unhappily and began to bawl loudly, sadness and fury coursing through me.
I don't even know why I was crying. I knew Wyatt was worried about my health, but I still couldn’t help it. I really wanted to eat that chocolate.
Wyatt stared at me and raised my chocolate seriously. “This is for you and the baby’s benefit, okay? I want you to gain more weight. Regardless of how much you weigh, you’re the most beautiful to me.” He proclaimed. “Lest I forget, there are over twenty pieces of wraps on the floor eaten by you; regardless, I won’t let you eat more.” He stated.
“Wahhhhh!” I bawled in louder tears. “You’re so cruel to me and baby. It’s just half; it can’t cause any harm.” Immediately, I stood up and burrowed into Wyatt’s embrace pitifully. “Hubby Wyatt.”
“Be good.”
