Tony gulped seeing the smile on her face disappear. He heard her and this issue wouldn't get resolved easily and would take time—time that would give her stress.
After their vacation, she had been stress-free. He tried to keep her stress-free. He came home early and he cooked one meal a day. It would be unnecessary for her to be involved in something stressful like that.
But…
Just then he realized something.
He might be trying to keep her stress-free, but he was actually being a hurdle to her happiness. She loved doing what she did and his sour mood affected her. She was someone who did everything considering him and if he showed his displeasure, she would stop doing what she loved to do.
Either he can explain to her if he wanted her to stop or he can encourage her like he always did. He chose the latter.
Lately, they had a beautiful life. She was still over the clouds after returning and he was taking her to his heart's content daily.
