Chapter 36: 5. I'm Your Husband
Silent.
He sighed.
" I'm Adrian, your husband," he answered softly, bringing his wide palm to her small face. His thumb caressing her soft cheek and luscious lips.
Layla stunned. As disbelieve washed over her expression, she pulled her face from his touch, as if being electrocuted.
" What? Husband? Mister, are you wrongly come into my room? I'm only 18 this year. Am I that pretty? A godlike handsome man as you be my husband is something that will come over from dream and novels." Layla laughed, pulling her hand away from him.
A flash of hurt covered his dark eyes. It comes as fast as it went. He smiled lovingly, understanding her present condition.
" Yes, very pretty. And I'm here. If you want me in your dream, I shall make that wish happened, right?" Adrian didn't take her slightly cold attitude to his heart.
He should be patient in this kind of situation as she doesn't remember him at all. He put the blanket over her.
Layla gulped. Seriously? He, be in her dream or reality was undoubted will bring disasters into her life. She shuddered.
" Hey, mister. I'm being serious here, and stop messing around! Me as your wife? Are you kidding me? I'm 18, not 8 years old, alright?" Is he dumb? She's not a fool!
" I'm also serious. And, no. I'm not messing with you, love. Yes, you're my wife. No, I'm not joking. I know you're 18 but in reality you already 26 years old and married." Adrian poured a drink for her. Looking at the transparent glass filled with clear water, Layla hesitantly took the glass to wet her dry throat. This man was too hot for her heart to take in.
She gulped down the water until the glass left empty. Adrian looked satisfied at her obedience.
" 26 years old? How bad your Math if you calculated the years wrongly? This year should be a year of 20XX." Layla huffed. He lucky to be this handsome and hot, if not, she already kicked him out. Such rubbish talks, who could take that as being serious?
Adrian amused. He pulled out his phone, unlocking the screen with a password. Later, he reached out the phone for her to take a look. Suspiciously, Layla takes the phone. She turns the cool gadget upside down and went to check the date of the day. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
" Thi...this...20XX?! Impossible! How come? Wait, the day is Wednesday? My birthday falls on September 17, on Monday this year! It should be this week!" Layla stared at the screen, disbelieving her eyes. Did this man play a trick with her? He changes the date, right?
She quickly swipes open the calendar icon to check. To her horror, the clear date of today was big enough for her eyes. She dumbfounded.
A nurse in white went into the room to check her condition. She saw the pair on the bed with a smile.
" Good morning, Mr Chang, Mrs Chang. How are you today, madam?" the nurse asked with a friendly smile pasted on her beautiful face. Adrian nodded, acknowledging her greeting for them.
Layla struck dumb at this scenes. She snapped out and quickly asked the nurse.
" Um, Sis. Can you lend me your phone?" she asked bluntly. Adrian and the nurse stunned.
Adrian laughed, shaking his head in amusement. Layla stared, dissatisfied with him.
" What? Why?" the nurse felt incredulously weird. Lending phone? For what? Her husband's expensive phone should be more fun to play with.
" No, no. Don't misunderstand, Sis. I just want to check the day of today. Can you? Please~" Layla grips her hand, pouting cutely in front of the nurse. Adrian's brows raised. This woman...
" Well, alright..." the nurse saw that Adrian didn't mind his wife antics. She pulled out a phone from her front pocket on the uniform. Layla reached out her hand to accept the phone. Again, she stunned. Same date. Same day. Same year?!!
" This year is the year of 20XX?" Layla asked quitely, muttering to herself. But, the nurse heard it.
" Yes, this is a year of 20XX." the nurse kindly confirms it. Adrian slowly pulled out the phone from Layla's soft grips. He gives back the phone over to the nurse. After around of check, the nurse left. Leaving the disspirited Layla and calm Adrian together.
" Should you believe me now, love?" Adrian leaves his seat to sit at the bed edge. His eyes were so deep like an old well without any ripples. She couldn't detect any faulty or deceit from that elusive orbs.
She wants to speak but decided to not. Actually, she kind of believes him already. Why? She saw it.
His screensaver is a photo of two people. Him and his so-called wife, her. Layla. The matured woman in that photo smiled happily, leaning comfortably in his arms. They looked so happy and joy could be seen in their eyes.
They happily married.
