Chapter 18 Chapter 6.3
When I got home, I sat on the sofa first, but I looked at Desmond when he arrived. He was looking straight at me and seemed angry again. I just sighed.
"Who told you that you have the right to say that you're my wife, huh?!" he shouted angrily. I stood up to face him. His every breath was deep again, and it seemed like he was preventing himself from exploding with anger.
"Who also told you to stop me from having a relationship with others? Every time you see me with someone else, talking to someone else, you always ask me what my relationship is with them. If you don't want others or your friends to know that we're married, stay away from me! Don't come near me, and don't ever talk to me! Why are you angry at me again? What's your problem?! Bullshit!" I couldn't help but shout at him. He was surprised at my cursing.
"This is the first and last time I'm warning you, Heaven. You won't tell anyone what our relationship is. I didn't invite him to my wedding, and then you'll just tell him that you're my wife?"
"I didn't call you, right? I didn't approach you. You were also the one who suddenly approached and said that I have no right to have a relationship because I'm married. What right do you have to tell others that I'm married?! Is it still my fault?" I said sarcastically. He sighed. He didn't answer when he left.
I won't allow you to belittle me, I won't allow you to just shout at me. If I don't have the right to tell others that we're married, you also don't have the right to forbid me from doing what I want, especially in my relationships.
We're just like dogs and cats. Will we always be like this? Will we just fight when our paths cross? I just shook my head. It's good that he doesn't lay a hand on me when I shout at him. I'm lucky in that part.
When I didn't have work, I decided to visit my family. I wanted to know how they were doing. I just took a taxi. When I arrived at the house, I could already hear the noise of my siblings. I was laughing because I could clearly hear Anica shouting at our two male siblings.
"Heaven," Jerome said in surprise when he saw me. Randy also turned to look at me.
"Heaven!" he called me loudly and then greeted me with a hug. Jerome followed. When Mom and Dad heard Randy and Jerome's noise, they also came out of the room.
"Heaven," Anica also called me; she was still holding a sponge, and her hands were soapy. It looks like I know what she's doing.
"It's good that you were able to visit here. Are you alone?" Daddy asked me. I nodded and then hugged them. I missed them so much.
"Are you not going back to Dubai?" I asked Daddy. A month has passed since I got married.
"I was planning to go back, but your mother-in-law is giving me a job at their company. I haven't accepted it yet because I'm still thinking about it. By the way, Heaven, do you still have money there? Don't give us all of your salary. Save some for yourself." I frowned because I haven't given them money yet.
"Money? I gave money?" I asked, puzzled.
"Have you already forgotten? You haven't given birth yet, but you're already forgetful. How much do you earn at Velasquez Group? Fifty thousand is too much for us." Mommy answered. I don't remember giving them money. I remembered what Mommy Shiermy said before; she wanted to take care of my siblings' education. Does that mean she named me as the one sending money to my family so they wouldn't reject it?
"Ah, yes, Mom. I don't pay for the house, I don't have any expenses, so I'll send you my whole salary." I just made an excuse. I'm ashamed of Mommy Shiermy. Her heart is so good. She chose to name me as the one giving the money because she probably knew that Mom and Dad would reject her.
Mom and Dad cooked my favorites for me. While we were waiting, we were playing Uno cards with my siblings. Our life is simple, but we're happy. The money Dad earns abroad is enough for us.
I spent my whole day with my family because I missed them so much. It's only now that we're complete again because Daddy is always abroad. I wish he would just stay here. The Velasquez's salary won't be free because he'll be working. It's probably better if he just stays here to reduce Mommy's worries for him.
We happily ate dinner. It was all laughter and stories. This is what I miss about my family because we're happy when we eat together.
"How's your pregnancy? Are you not having a hard time with your pregnancy?" Mommy asked.
"It's difficult because sometimes I don't want to eat anything. When I get what I want to eat, I throw up everything." I complained like a child. Mommy caressed my back.
"That's really how pregnant women are. Just don't tire yourself out. Avoid stress too." I just nodded.
"How's your life with your husband? Is he not hurting you?" Daddy asked me worriedly. I hugged him because until now, I'm still his princess.
"My life with Desmond is okay. We rarely talk because we don't love each other, but he's not hurting me. He also cooks food for me sometimes." I answered. I don't want them to worry about me.
"That's good; if there's no respect in your household, come home to us. We'll raise your future child." I smiled sweetly at Dad and then hugged him again. I couldn't help but be emotional. A father's love is really different.
