Chapter 69 My Wife, Please Tell Me the Truth
Xavier looked at his wife with questioning eyes and said, “Sweetheart, you are forgetful, didn’t you tell me that you were attending your cousin’s wedding in England a year ago?” Valencia’s heart was pounding so hard in her chest. What if the Taylor family investigated their trip? She looked at her husband and replied, “I didn’t say that my love. We attended my friend’s wedding in the USA.”
Xavier looked at his wife and asked, “Sweetheart, is there something that you are hiding from me?” Valencia shook her head. Her heart was beating so fast. It was clear that her husband was suspicious of her. She felt so guilty, but she decided not to confess. The Taylor family would bury the Moore family should they know the truth.
Xavier’s heart sank when he saw the way his wife was behaving. He said, “My wife, please tell me the truth. Didn’t you promise me that there would be no lies between us?” Valencia looked at her husband and replied, “My husband, it is not that I don’t want to tell you, but it is not my place to tell you. I swear it doesn’t involve the Taylor family.”
Xavier decided to let the matter slide and said, “My beautiful wife, you have made me the happiest man on earth. When we get back home, we have to go to the Home Affairs to register our marriage. I love you so much.” Then he kissed her gentle and hugged her tightly.
Valencia smiled faintly at her husband and said, “Baby, do you mind if we do not move to the Taylor family mansion? It is clear to me that Grandpa Taylor doesn’t like me, but I don’t know the reason, because I have never offended him.”
Xavier caressed his wife’s face and replied, “Sweetheart, grandpa doesn’t hate you but he doesn’t approve of my mother-in-law’s friendship with my mother. Give him some time and he will see how special you are.”
Valencia nodded her head and said, “Baby I have another request, can we delay the registration of our marriage?” Xavier looked at his wife with questioning eyes and asked, “Why?”
Valencia replied, “I want to register our marriage when everyone in your family has accepted me. I believe that Grandpa Taylor thinks I am a gold digger. I have to prove to him that I don’t care about Taylor’s wealth.”
Xavier smiled and replied, “Honey, I pray that our love grows stronger each passing day. I love you so much, my dearest wife.” Valencia smiled sweetly at her husband and replied, “My Xavier, I fell in love with you the first time I lay my eyes on you. You were like a breath of fresh air. I am so grateful to the Lord for blessing me with you. I love you more, my handsome husband.”
Valencia met Xavier at his thirteenth birthday party, but he ignored her. Xavier’s gut feeling told him that his soulmate was out there waiting for him. Therefore, he was reluctant to date Valencia.
His mother was nagging him every day that she would be happy if Valencia Moore became her daughter-in-law. Since he didn’t hate her, Xavier decided to date her when Valencia turned eighteen years old, and the rest is history.
Initially, Xavier wanted to investigate the young girl he saw at his wedding, but he decided to leave the matter alone. What if she was his soulmate? He remembered that the little girl touched her heart at the same time he touched his heart.
When he reached their table, she had already gone. She had disappeared into thin air. He would have loved to see her face. Unbeknownst to him, they would meet each other in the future.
When Xavier woke up, he smiled brightly when he saw his beautiful wife in his arms. He wished with all his heart that the secret that the Moore family was hiding from the Taylor family would not come between them. Since his beloved wife had given him an assurance that it was nothing to do with the Taylor family, he felt relieved.
Xavier made a silent prayer to the Lord. He asked the Almighty to bless their marriage and bless them with many children. He promised the Lord that he would be committed to his family for the rest of his life. He also asked the Lord to bless them with good health. He kissed his wife gentle.
Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower. The weather was warm and inviting them to stroll on the beach. Since his beloved wife was still sleeping, he tried not to make any noise. His hair was wet, but he decided to use the towel to dry it. His clothes were still in a suitcase. He opened his suitcase and chose casual clothes to wear. Then he headed to the kitchen to drink water.
After Xavier left their bedroom, Valencia opened her eyes. She wanted to talk to her mother about their trip to the USA. Unbeknownst to her, her mother-in-law had already asked her mother. Her mother confirmed that they had gone to England to her niece’s wedding, and she even gave her best friend the name of her niece.
At that moment, Xavier heard someone knocking on the door. Chef Ambrose smiled broadly and introduced himself. He was twenty-six years old. He was handsome and had an athletic body. He smiled and shook Xavier’s hand and said, “What do you want me to prepare for breakfast, Sir?”
Xavier smiled and replied, “Chef Ambrose, please prepare English breakfast for us. Then, for lunch, please cook Caesar Salmon Fillets, roasted vegetables, soup and grilled fish. For dinner, please prepare lamb chops.” Chef Ambrose nodded his head, and then he walked to the kitchen. Mr Taylor’s father had told him in advance about the couple’s favourite food.
When Xavier walked to their bedroom, he saw his wife talking on the phone. Valencia smiled sweetly at him and mouthed ‘talking to my mother’. Xavier nodded his head and sat on the sofa. Valencia quickly bade her mother goodbye before she told her about the USA matter. Then they hung up.
Valencia walked to her husband and kissed him on his lips. She smiled sweetly at him and said, “Good morning my handsome husband. Did you sleep well? My mother sends her regards.” Xavier smiled and kissed his wife back and replied, “Good morning my beautiful wife, I slept well. Are you still having cramps?”
