Aurora pov
It was the next day, and I woke up tiredly my night was a long one; I didn't realize how exhausted I was; Dexter drained me completely but thankfully, I was able to get a good sleep, l left my room, heading to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast the house was quite as usual, so I just walked to the kitchen aimlessly, but as I got closer to the living room I was hearing voices, so curious, l headed to the living room, I breathe out as my eyes landed on mrs.king; she looked graceful as usual, why is she here? I haven't heard anything from her since the marriage, Mary looked up, and her locked at me, and she smirked, did she perhaps report something to mrs.king? Her confidence and smirk were too glaring to pass by anyway, I walked towards them, putting on a polite smile.
"Good morning, Mrs. King," I said, bowing my head a bit, she looked up at me, and a beautiful smile lifted on her face Mrs. King is a really Beautiful woman, always so grateful and soft-spoken, she is a small petite woman with a beautiful olive skin and brown hair. Dexter doesn't look a bit like her, but she is the definition of beauty; she always puts on the best designer clothing and jewelries, she is the woman my mom tires to be, but she only ends up failing woefully.
"Aurora, how are you doing?" She asked, smiling at me brightly, I returned her smile.
"I am perfectly okay, Mrs. King," I said, she smiled.
"Oh, come on, Mrs. King makes me feel old call me Maya," she said, and I nodded my head.
"Okay," I said, taking my seat beside Dexter, who was looking at us quietly. "How has marriage life been? Hope my son has not been a pain in the neck," she said and I smiled.
"Nothing too much to handle," I said, and she nodded her head.
"I just came by to see how you two are doing, and I am glad to see you both in perfect condition," she said, and I nodded my head, she turned to Dexter.
"Son, Mary informed me she has not been making your food and looking after you like I instructed, Do you do them yourself now?" She asked, looking at him blankly, Dexter folded his arms. "She is relieved of her duties to me," he said, and Mary looked at him, shocked "why is she shocked? She is only a worker here, and she can be changed at any time, I can't believe she dragged her all the way here for this.
"Why?" She asked.
"She will handle them now," he said, pointing to me, and I smiled, Maya looked him surprised" that unusual; you loved Mary's food; you told me that yourself," she said.
"Her food tastes bland now, Mom, I want Aurora to look after me; it's her duty anyway," he said, and I also looked at him surprised, why does he want me to look after him? Last time I checked, I was causing him a headache, so why the charge of choice?
"Are you sure about that, Son? Mary is quite experience," she said I looked back at Dexter, and he had a stubborn pout on his lips, his eyes unwavering, he has made his decision and is not going back on it.
"I am very sure, Mom," he said, taking his phone, she breathe out.
"Did Mary do anything to you? I could correct her if you want," she said, and I seriously wonder why she is pushing it.
"She didn't; I just want to change of food and people," he replied, and she nodded her head slowly, gathering her thought's, she turned to me and smiled.
"Seems my son is slowly falling in love with you," she said, and I looked at Dexter, No way he is going to love me; he hates my guts, but I smiled anyway.
"It's not that serious, Mom," he said, and Maya nodded her head.
"Well, Mary, as Dexter says, you will be relieved of your duties to him, just make sure you oversee everything and make sure he takes his drugs on time," she said, and Mary nodded her head slowly.
"If there is anything, you can call me," she said, checking her watch, she smiled, looking up. "Son, I am heading to a meeting, I only wanted to stop by," she said, standing up and Dexter nodded his head, she stood up, walked to us, and pecked his forehead.
"I will see you later," she said, and he his head again, she smiled at me, "Take care of my son," she said and I nodded my head, she carried her bag and walked away with Mary without looking back, she claims to love her son; she acts like it, but why don't I feel it? Why are her eyes so blank? No emotions; is she only pretending to love him, or does she truly love her? I looked at Dexter as he watched het go, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he looked sad, which made me feel sad, I moved closer to him smiling.
"Good morning, husband," I said cheerfully, and he turned to me, glaring at me, u smiled.
"Has my husband had his breakfast?" I asked, touching his stomach, and he swatted my hand away harshly, I watched him struggle to get in his wheelchair, and when he did, he wheeled away without any words, I watched him go confused, what seems to be wrong with him?.
"Is he Hungry?" I mumbled maybe I should cook him something to eat; then maybe he will feel better, I went to the kitchen, washing my hands and wearing the apron, and I decided to cook a simple breakfast of a sandwich, pancakes, and bacon with a homemade smoothie on the side, This time, I made sure to eat as I cooked; who knows what his appetite is this morning? When I was done, I carried the tray heading to his room, I knocked softly on the door, and I get no replies, I kept knocking, and still no replies, so I let myself in, He was Seated on the couch with his head thrown back.
"I didn't give you permission to come in," he said, not even looking at me, he looks sad.
"I brought breakfast," I said, and he opened his eyes, looking at me.
"I'm not hungry; leave," he said, and I sighed, why does he look sad now? His mood swings are alarming, I didn't want to argue with him because I felt he needed some space, so I dropped the food on the table.
"Just in case you are hungry," I mumbled, dropping it and walking out, I wondered what ruined his mood; it's definitely not me, seeing how he wasn't glaring at me, is it perhaps Maya?
"Just mind your business, Aurora," I mumbled, heading to my room maybe I should visit Dr. James to ask him how everything is going, I need the right drugs with me urgently, I changed my clothes, breathing out as I left the house hopefully, when I am back, he would be in a better mood.
