Hellbound With You novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Jealous wife

The two of them were finally on their way, with Alex driving much faster than he did the day before. It didn't seem to bother him that there were big gaps at the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions on the wheel.

Abi stole a glance at him and she saw that he seemed to be in a cheerful mood. He had a playful smile on his face and she thought that she actually heard him humming! Whoa… was that right? Was he actually humming a tune?

Abi returned her gaze to the road and closed her eyes, listening carefully to see if she could figure out the tune he was humming. Her eyes suddenly widened as she heard the melody. It was their song. He was humming the melody of Can't help falling in love.

Abi's heart pounded on her chest. Did he remember finally? She clenched her hands from the hope she just felt. But… if he remembered, then why didn't he act like it? Why didn't he call her his wife, or ask why she was wearing their wedding rings around her neck instead of on their fingers? Her mind reasoned out and her hope deflated just as fast as it had swelled.

She gritted her teeth and bit her lip to stop the emotion from flowing out. No, he still didn't remember. But hearing him humming her song kept the small flame of hope alive. Somewhere in there was her husband and she wasn't going to give up until she got him back.

In what seemed like no time at all, the two of them arrived at the palace. The car screeched to a halt in front of the entrance where Zeke was standing by, obviously waiting for them to arrive.

That uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach was in full bloom. It slowly increased as they neared the city and it was even more prevalent now when she saw Zeke looking very serious as he waited by the stairs.

" You're late. Let's go," Zeke said to Alex, sounding as serious as ever. He was wearing his poker face and while his greeting to Alex was very blunt, he didn't even say a word to Abi. He just turned around and just expected both of them to just follow.

However, as they ascended the stairs towards the courtroom, Zeke halted. He turned to them and said, "I think it will be better if your maid waits in my room." He was obviously addressing Alex, talking about Abi as if she wasn't there.

This caused Alex to raise his brow and stare at Zeke, as if he was trying to determine what game he was playing. However, in the next moment, Alex looked at Abi and said, "Let's go, my beloved. I shall take you to our room first."

Alex was giving Zeke many with that one sentence. First of all, his answer didn't address Zeke. He spoke directly to Abigail because he didn't like that Zeke was talking as if she was not important, as if she was nobody, and that irked him like hell. His fists itched to massage Zeke's face but he kept his cool.

Secondly, addressing Abigail as his 'beloved' obviously told Zeke his intentions towards his little lamb. That was the title he gave her because no matter how many times she refused him, one of these days, she would become his wife. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Thirdly, his use of the words 'our room' again cemented the fact that Abigail was his equal. He no longer saw her as his maid. She was the sun to his moon, the light to his darkness. She was more important to him than anything in this world and he wanted Zeke to know that.
