While I’m on my way to see Carmella so things can go back to normal between us, I’ve decided to speak to Frank right away.
Of course, I have the option to just warn him through the phone, but i feel that’s not going to be enough. He needs to see
ee that I mean what I
say.
‘I shouldn’t take too long. Afterwards, I’ll be with my babe until tomorrow. I don’t ever want to see her looking so scruffy again. All that because I didn’t pick her calls and messages? It doesn’t matter. It’s never happening again,
I haven’t even bothered to check the articles being posted. I know some of them are about Penelope, but some of them are definitely about
actions towards my fucking wife as her caring husband.
my
However, what! said
id to the press when I carried her in my arms was how I really felt, but so what?
Now that I think about it, I still can’t forget how she hid her face in my chest once I made that speech. What a great act that was.
When I pull up
up to the mall, I spot Frank’s car in the parking lot and he’s leaning against it, but he soon starts coming toward me with his hands
in his pockets
As I approach him, the image of him crouching down and touching Vanessa flashes in my mind and it actually makes me clench my jaw.
When he’s close enough, his lips curve into a smile as he says, “Hey, dude, what’s up?”
“You and I need to talk.” I don’t even smile back as we meet in the middle.
“Which is obviously why I’m here.” He chuckles.
“You don’t see me laughing right now, do you?” I cross my arms. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“All you said was you had to see me and it’s crazy because it hasn’t been that long since we left the hospital, but I think I know what this is about. You know what? Fine, go ahead and get it off your chest.”
“That wasn’t cool. You shouldn’t have touched Vanessa.”
“Look, I was only trying to check how bad her discomfort was.”
I can’t help but scoff “Then why didn’t you call a nurse or something? Since when do you examine people like that? I know you!
“What’s that supposed to mean?” He tilts his head in curiosity.
“You’re my best friend, I know you
ou change women like crazy, but Vanessa is off limits.”
He shakes his head at me. “This is unbelievable. And why do you care? She means nothing to you.”
“Is that your way of saying you actually have athing for her?”
“I didn’t say that, but let’s be honest here, Vanessa is sexy as hell, everyou know it.” He outlines her curvaceous figure with his hands.
- r. you know?”
Watching him do this only makes me clench my fists. “You’re not making this any easier, you
“Fine, I’ll stop.” He holds
sout the palms of his hands in defeat.

“Good, keep your thoughts to yourself when it comes to Vanesss and stay away from her.” I gently place my hand on his chest with a sigh so i can relax “You’re free to fuck whoever you want, just not Vanessa. Don’t forget who she is to me and my family”
“I just find it hypocritical how you’re free to do whatever you want with Carmella but she’s not,”
“Are you judging me right now?” I drop my hand from his shoulder, narrowing my eyes at him as I take a step back.
He raises his hands in defeat as he shakes his head. “Look, I’m just saying that you know what? Fine, I’ll keep my thoughts about her to myself and I’ll keep a distance as well.”
With a sigh, I give him a nod. “Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page.”
I want him as far away from Vanessa as possible. I already don’t plan on sleeping with her, so no one can.
“Now, how about we finally celebrate the massive profits, hmm?” He raises the tone of his voice with enthusiasm as he spreads out his arms.
I instantly lighten up and smile. “I’ll leave that to you.”
“Perfect! Hey, don’t forget to invite Vanessa.”
My enthusiasm instantly fades as I shake my head at him in disbelief. “Seriously?”
“What?” He shrugs. “I’m just saying that it’ll be a good look for you, so you should definitely bring her
“Fine. I’m off to see my babe now.”
“I bet she’s jealous.” He raised his eyebrows.
“Jealous?”
“Haven’t you seen the clips circulating on the internet?”
“I don’t want to see them.”
“There’s that one where Vanessa cried in the aisle and you kissed her. It’s gone viral.”
“Like I give a fuck. As long as my
my parents
s are happy seeing it, that’s all that matters.”
No matter what Frank says, I try to convince him and myself that it was only for everyone else to see, it couldn’t have been because genuinely wanted to comfort her.
I’m finally here to see my
my babe and the moment sh
opens the door, she’s in a short black dress.
The image of her crazy state from earlier flashes in my mind and looking at her now, it’s like that never even happened.
“Hey, babe, how do I look?” Her tone is flirtatious.
“Absolutely sexy.” I wrap my arms around her waist after I step inside. “Come here.”
I plant a few kisses on her lips and neck, but as much as I want to fuck her right now, it has to wait.
“We need to talk about what happened.” My tone is serious.

“I know, but first, have you seen what’s on the internet? There are these video clips and pictures of you and that bitch everywhere.” She crosses her arms as she drops herself on the living room couch. “You were kissing her while she was in tears, and you carried her down the stairs at the hospital.”
I sit beside her with a heavy sigh. “Now’s not the time to get jealous. I had to do that for the public. Isn’t it obvious to you?”
She pouts. “I know, I can’t help but feel this way. That should’ve been me”
Her statement instantly triggers me and I can’t help but be blunt with her. “How could it ever be you when you don’t even give a damn about
the children?”
