Chapter 26 Chapter 9.2
I couldn't help but sigh because Desmond brought me to the hotel where he had a meeting. Jake wasn't available because he was busy, so he brought me along to take the minutes of the meeting.
He knew I was pregnant, but he still ordered me to go down again to get the papers that were left in the car. As I entered the elevator, I was arranging what I was holding because it might suddenly explode on the floor.
"Heaven?" I looked to my side when my name was called. She laughed and smirked when she confirmed that it was indeed me she saw. I thought Macie had already left the country? Why is she still here? "So you're Desmond's wife, do you really always wear your wedding ring? Are you proud that he married you?" she said insultingly to me.
When the elevator opened, she smirked at me once more before she got out. I followed her and then grabbed her arm to face me.
"What! Don't touch me!" she said as if disgusted. I looked at her eyes seriously.
"Why do you need to leave again? Haven’t the years you made Desmond wait been enough? Why don't you choose him this time?" I said annoyedly to her. She raised an eyebrow at me. She was a little taller than me, so I was looking up. Macie is beautiful, so I wouldn't be surprised why Desmond is so crazy about her.
"Why do you need to interfere with me? You should be celebrating because you're Desmond's wife. Shouldn't you be thanking me because if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in your position now. Aren't you content that your plan succeeded? You entered Desmond's room and took advantage of him. Desmond was so drunk that he thought he was seeing me. You should be thanking me because I'll still lend him to you for two years. When I come back and I'm ready to marry him, I'll take him back." My teeth gritted in annoyance. What does she think of Desmond? A toy that I can borrow and she'll take back whenever she wants?
"Choose him this time, Macie, before it's too late for both of you." She laughed at what I said.
"Are you kidding me? Do you think Desmond's love for me will disappear? He's been waiting for my yes for five years, but when did he give up? You just came into his life, do you think he'll love you now? Wake up, Heaven. No matter what you do, he'll never love you, that's why I'm confident in leaving him to you. I have no intention of having children because I won't ruin my body just for a child. It's probably good that he got you pregnant so he doesn't have to force me to have children. You take care of him while I'm gone." I clenched my fist. Does she think so highly of herself? Does she really believe that Desmond won't forget her?
Macie smirked at me once more before she entered her hotel room. When I heard my cellphone ring, I took it out of my pocket. Desmond was calling me, so I quickly went back to where he was. When I arrived, he was already outside the door.
"Why did you take so long?" he asked me.
"I'm sorry, I was just talking to someone." I answered and then gave him the papers. We both went inside. I just sat quietly and listened to what they were talking about. I was facing the laptop to write down the important things they were talking about.
After an hour, we were finally done. We went out together.
"I'll carry that." Desmond took the laptop bag and other papers I was carrying. "Are you hungry? Where do you want to eat?" he asked me.
"Anywhere," I answered because I didn't know any restaurants here.
"There's a restaurant here, let's just eat there so we don't have to go far." he said. We went together to the restaurant he was talking about. When we entered, he immediately looked for a place for us to sit. He even pulled out a chair for me.
"Desmond? Love!" we looked at the other table. Macie was smiling at us. I looked at Desmond, who was looking at Macie seriously. Macie stood up and then approached Desmond and hooked her arms on Desmond's arm.
"Are you still angry at me?" she asked sweetly. I stood up to say goodbye to them.
"I'll go back to the company first." I said goodbye, I was about to leave when Desmond stopped me.
"No, we'll go back to the company together. I'll just have our food delivered." He said, he removed Macie's hands that were holding his hand. "I hope you fulfill your dreams, Macie. Have a safe flight." Desmond pulled me away from Macie. I looked at Macie once more, and it was evident on her face that she didn't like what Desmond did to her.
I was just quiet while we were on our way back to the company. Desmond was also driving quietly and seriously. Your love for a person doesn't disappear quickly. How long will Desmond suppress his feelings for Macie?
Five years of their relationship is no joke. What if Macie is ready to marry Desmond? I think I need to stop myself from loving him.
When we arrived at his office, the food he ordered was already there. We ate together. I looked at him when he gave me water. Was he trying to turn his attention to me to forget Macie?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'll leave you for Macie?" I shook my head.
"Instead of forcing her to forget, why don't you just wait for her again?" I asked curiously. If you love a person, you're ready to wait for them until they're ready.
"How long will I wait, Heaven? In the first year of our relationship, I supported her when she told me that she would continue her modeling. In the third year of our relationship, she said she wanted to renew her contract. I agreed to what she wanted. Last year, she told me that she would stay here, but when she arrived, she said she would renew her contract again. Am I always the only one who will give in our relationship? What about me? She never thought about how I would feel. I love her, but is that enough to stay? She also cheated on me once, I accepted her again because I love her. If I wait again, what if she wants to renew her contract again? I told her that I'm ready to follow her so we can be together, but she doesn't want me to follow her. Tell me, should I still stay in a relationship that has no certainty?" I became silent at what he said.
I didn't expect that Desmond had so much patience for the woman he loves.
