Chapter 168 THE ARGUMENT

FIRA’S POV

I embraced my shoulder when the cold air touched my skin. It was 1 in the morning and Pyro was not yet going home. I was waiting for him since 5 in the afternoon since that was his out in the work. Ember was already sleeping in the room.

“Is he not home?” Colden went outside. He came home early. “Zephyrus told him to do some paper works, but he won’t be late like this.”

“Yeah, I’m worrying. Can we use Hali’s car to go to the office?”

“Better we go.” Colden walked inside to house to get the keys.

We were about to get inside the car when Pyro’s car was parked in the front yard. A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth as I ran towards him. I hugged him so tight. “You made me worry.”

Pyro embraced his arms to me and kissed me on my head. “I’m good. You’re overthinking.”

Our situation would never be as peaceful as the ocean. I was scared that one day, his father arrived at our house and dragged Pyro away from me. I was tired of escaping from the reality of our world. If only I could choose between being human or being a wolf. I better pick a human being.

I tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. “Don’t come home late again next time.” I was glued to his body as we walked inside the house.

Colden was just staring at us. When we arrived at the door, he just greeted Pyro and then went upstairs. I guided Pyro to the kitchen. I was noticing the smile on his lips. He was always smiling when he saw me, but his aura was different now. I felt like there was something happening that would make her stretch his lips into the happiest mood.

“What’s going on? You’re happy for a husband who comes home late?” I examined his face from his eyes, nose, and lips. I put the food in his front. I grabbed the plate on the cabinet and was about to place it near him when I smelled a scent of a girl in his suit, causing the plate to slip from my hand. I gasped for air as the broken pieces of it were scattering on the floor.

Is he seeing another girl? Why would he smell like that?

I knew his scent and that would never be perfume. There was someone who touched or hugged him and he let her! Is he cheating on me? Does my biggest fear occur?

No, crap! Pyro is not like that. He would not do something that would hurt me. He would not betray me and his daughter.

“Fira!”

“Fira!”

I blinked two times as I heard him calling me. He brought his body down and grabbed my hand. I was unaware that the blood was flowing from it because of the broken glass. I was unconscious when I held it just with my hand and it was now wounded.

“Dearest, I call you so many times. What’s happening to you?” He guided me to stand up and sat at the table. I was just looking straight.

Is he not going to tell me?

I gazed at his chest. His white polo had a stain of lipstick. He followed where I was looking and when he recognized what I was thinking, he let out the air. “Don’t you trust me?”

I did not answer. I just grabbed the glass of water, stood up, and left him in the kitchen. His smile would not lie that he enjoyed accompanying whoever the girl was.

I jumped on the bed while the tears were dropping from my eyes down to my cheek. I covered my body with the comforter and buried my face on the pillow. I heard the creak of the door and the footsteps coming from me.

Is she the reason why he was late!

“Her name is Michelle.” I heard him talking. The bed dipped when he laid to my top and hugged me so tight. “I’m happy not because I found another girl. I’m happy because I had a new friend. We had coffee in the nearby shop. Nothing much happened, we just talked about the family, about you and my daughter Ember. She was like you一”

When I heard the last line, I suddenly sat and pushed him. “She’ll never be like me! I’m one and only Fira! We are just two weeks in this world and yet I can’t understand you! My father died because of the plan of escaping! He gave his life because he thought I would be happy on your side! Don’t make the life of my father come into vain!”

“What are you talking about?” His voice was just calm. “I just went coffee ad talked to一”

“It’s not the problem! The problem is how can you go home late and yet no plans of telling what had happened to you!”

He shook his head, blowing air and then inhaling it. “Are you…pregnant?”

“What?” The disbelief was written in my expression. “How does that crap thing include in the argument? You’re just breaking the topic into another nonsense topic!”

“Dearest…” He was about to cup my cheek, but I moved away. I almost drop in the bed. Good thing I noticed the end. “Dearest, you’re shouting. You’re not like that.”

“What do you want me to feel? Happy? Happy because you flirt with the other girl!” I gritted my teeth. If only I could punch his face, I should do that!

“I’m not flirting. What the damn.” Pyro shook his head. He climbed on the bed. I was about to run away from him when he pinned my hands above the head. “Listen. I smiled, sorry. I joined her in a coffee shop, sorry. I made friends, sorry. I went home late, sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.” Our noses touched. “I’m so so sorry.”

My anger calmed. I observed the expression on his face. He was too guilty about what he did. I realized that he did not experience these things at the Elemental Kingdom. Maybe he was just excited to discover new things in this new environment. I felt guilty for accusing him.

“Michelle’s not like the other. I can feel it. She had been bullied in the office and I just helped her. I can see you through her. Apology for that.”

The silence filled the air as he did not get a response from me. He was just enveloping my small body with his big arms.

“Sorry.: I whispered, I was not looking at him. I better look at my side than stare at his eyes. “I didn’t mean to shout.”

“I understand and still, I love you.”
