Chapter 23, Wifely Duties
On the dinning table, there were magazines of different types stacked on the table, some open while some were still closed and untouched.
James was wondering if she had rh planned to find h reading all those magazines all by herself, was she really that jobless?
He took a look at it and saw that most of it had his picture on it, and they were all lying in the table.
Bella was still dressed in her pyjamas, indicating that it's not been long that she woke up, she was holding one on her hand as she continued to take her tea and bread with butter spontaneously.
There was also a slow and relaxing music that was playing in the background, giving a very peaceful and serene atmosphere for Bella, just the way she had always wanted it.
Away from her loud family, away from her lousy former boyfriend, away from the stress of work, and certainly away from the troubles of her her husband.
Bella was enjoying her time oblivious to the fact that James was always standing some meters away from her, she was thinking that he had already gone to work and wouldn't disturb her.
But it seems she though all too soon, the moment she thought about him, she opened a page where she saw an interview given by James Baron and his brother.
She usually doesn't even ready magazines, but since she's on break and doesn't have to do absolutely anything, she picked a fancy in reading magazines, a habit that she never thought she would learn from her sister.
But it seems when you don't have anything to do, a new hobby automatically finds its way towards you.
Bella was still immersed in reading the press conference interview when she heard footsteps.
She looked up only to see that there was a man in front of her.
Although this man was a bit familiar to her, she was still startled and ended up pouring her hot tea on her hand.
Other parts of the tea also poured on the big picture of James in the magazine and she couldn't help but wish that the tea should have actually poured on the body of the real James and not just picture.
"What are you doing here?" Bella couldn't help asking out loud when she saw James standing there and a laughing at her with pure evilness written on his eyes.
"Are you the one that paid for this house?" She heard James saying.
She was surprised that he was asking her that sort of question. Even if she may not be the one that bought the house, since they are already married, then isn't it the husband's responsibility to provide a house for his wife?
She wanted to say all that to his face, but when she thought that he could also use the same sentence back at her and tell her to also perform her wifely duties, Belle held her peace and kept quiet.
She stood up, went the the kitchen, found a wash cloth and cleaned the table, she tried to ignore James.
Bug It was really hard to ignore a man who sat on the seat that she stood up and distracted her from cleaning the table with just his mere presence.
Hey Bella successfully finished cleaning the table, went and washed the cup, came back and continued eating just break and butter. She was not in the mood to take tea again.
However, Mr. James wouldn't even let her eat the bread in peace.
"Where's my breakfast?" He asked her.
"You didn't tell me you were going to eat breakfast, so I didn't cook any, even the little tea I made, you made me pour on the table.
There's bread, you should also eat it just like me, and if you don't want to eat just bread, you can make a sandwich."
When Bella finished speaking, James was still looking at her as if that was not the answer he wanted and was expecting her to give him another answer again.
"Don't you know how to make sandwich?" Bella asked him with wide eyes, she was somewhat surprised that a grown up like him wasn't able to make just sandwich, a simple combination of ingredients that even a child could combine.
But then again, James wasn't an ordinary person, even Bella had nit yet figured out the type of person he is, so she wasn't all that surprised as the man seemed to have grown as a spoilt kid who always got what he wants.
Bella sighed and took the bread and was ready to go and make him some sandwich.
But James took hold of her hand and stopped her from moving.
In fact, he tugged at her a little bit, and since she was not fully rooted on the floor, because she had one leg lifted up and was ready to take a step, she found herself being Fran back to the table.
James stood up and stood in front of her, the two stood so close that it was making Bella scared and a little terrified by the close distance. She was busy looking at his next moves.
What was he going to do? And what was going to happen? Bella didn't understand what was happening.
And most importantly what should she do at such a moment?
"Yes, that right" a thought came to her mind.
