Adam carried the girl like a sack, exactly opposite to what Ashley thought.
She wants to be carried in bride style dang it!
Her imagination and day-dreams were crushed by the hard truth. She always thought what it's like to be carried by those strong firm arms, although it did not disappoint her, Ashley's heart was broken at the cold gesture of Adam.
The man has no care for her! Not even the tiniest bit.
'Will you still not love me if I carry your child?' she thought, hiding again her sardonic grin on Adam's back, the game is not yet over...
In fact, it's just the beginning.
"What is your relationship with each other?" she asked him as they ascend the stairs.
The man replied, "She's my wife" with his glacial expression and voice.
"When did you meet each other?" she inquired more, hoping to get his full attention.
His long strides became a bit faster. impatient to put the woman down and leave.
An eerie silence followed, Adam did not bother to answer the boisterous woman. It's making him uncomfortable enough to have skin contact with her. His heart unfazed and face stoic.
Why should he feel any pity nor any feelings for a woman who brought her own troubles unto herself?
He could care less if she's not Ted's sister, the man in the 30s has been good to him, although they are not very close he respects him as his life was once in his hands.
Upon arriving at the guest room, he puts Ashley down, hastily. The woman grunts at the harsh way the man did, he almost threw her with force on the bed!
Adam is holding then doorknob, ready to go out when he was stopped by a pair of hands. A woman leaning on his back with her hands on his chest.
What's happening? The girl can't walk right?!
His eyes darkened upon the realization, this woman dare manipulate and use his wife's feelings to get to him!
The guts of her to do that. The room temperature rose, his body stiffened, he never knew that he can become this enraged when it comes to a woman! His knuckles gripping the doorknob too hard, it almost broke.
"I'm sorry but I need to do this" the woman whispered as her hands went up. Ashley pressed a handkerchief on his nose before he could even react.
