Business, Hate And Love
Chapter 14 - Asking for Attention

Two weeks later....

It was raining heavily tonight, Zayn said he didn't come home because of the office.

As long as Zayn knew of his wife's pregnancy, the man came home less often. In a week he was just by Maudy's side for a day.

Maudy stroked her hungry stomach, walking towards the room of her housekeeper who happened to live with them.

Maudy knocked repeatedly, before long 2 women opened the door.

"What's up, Miss?" ask one of them.

"I'm hungry, can you make me some chicken noodles?"

"Wait a minute, Miss." The answer.

The two women step into the kitchen, while Maudy waits in the living room snacking on fries.

"Since I was pregnant, why has her attention diminished when she found out I was the happiest? Looks like there's something Zayn has hidden from me" Maudy said.

Almost 45 minutes waiting for chicken noodles finally ready to eat.

"Please, Miss!"

"You're eating and you're with me, yeah." Pinta Maudy's.

"Yes, Miss." Say both in unison.

While eating, Maudy asked 2 of her domestic assistants. "You've been working in this house for a long time?"

"It's only been a year, Miss," replied the older ART. "Because we previously worked at the Big Lady's house," he continued.

"Oh, so."

Both nodded.

"Did Mr Zayn ever introduce his girlfriend to his family?"

"It doesn't seem like it" replied the younger ART.

"We only know Miss Maudy" said another.

"Why did Zayn never introduce his girlfriend to his family?"

"We don't know, Miss." Answer one of them.

After eating, Maudy returned to her room, and the rain began to subside. She took her cell phone and called her husband.

As soon as Maudy stuck her phone in her ear, the first answer she heard was the phone number you agreed was busy.

Maudy pulled the phone out of her ear and turned it off, seeing the clock on it showing at 1 p.m. "Who's he calling at this hour?" muttered.

Maudy put her phone on the nightstand, and she laid her body back on the bed.

Almost an hour in bed, his eyes were not closed maybe because from last afternoon he had fallen asleep.

Maudy called her husband again, his number was active but there was no answer.

Maudy had to swallow the disappointment, it seemed like her husband had indeed stayed away from her.

Maudy finally chose to play her phone, she found out her husband from her social media. Three hours ago Zayn updated his activities at a cafe, Maudy's eyes turned to the comments.

Her heart ached when her husband replied to a friend's comment 5 minutes ago.

Maudy ended up crying, "Why is he quicker to reply to someone else's comments than to contact me who is his own wife?" ogre.

Maudy threw her phone beside her, wiping her tears many times. "I can't be sad, my baby will be sad!"

****

The next day, when night came...

Zayn went home with some of the things he was going to give to his wife.

Maudy had just finished dinner, her husband came up to her and pecked at her head.

Without a word, Maudy left her husband at the dinner table.

Zayn frowned, looking at his wife's behavior.

Maudy entered her room, grabbed a book on the table and sat down on the chair next to her.

Zayn followed his wife. "Home home from work should be greeted with a smile instead of silence like this!"

"I'm talking to you, aren't you listening?"

Maudy closed her book put it back on the table and walked towards the bed.

Zayn pulled his wife's arm. "Why you?"

"It's okay" Maudy replied quietly.

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Because I want to be quiet and not protest."

Zayn hugged his wife's body, "Did I have a mistake with you?"

Maudy was silent when her husband's body grabbed her.

"Don't shut up like this, just tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm sleepy, Zayn." Maudy pushed her husband's body slowly.

Stretching her body and pulling her blanket, Maudy turned to her husband.

Zayn took off his clothes and went to the bathroom.

Maudy came back crying, since pregnancy her feelings are so subtle.

A few minutes later, Zayn came out of the bathroom. Seeing his wife's shoulders tremble, he approached her, "You crying?"

Maudy gushed her tears and turned her body.

"Why crying?"

"It's okay."

"If there's something you want to talk about, just say it. Don't shut up and cry, you cry!" insinuations.

"Nothing I want to talk to you about. So don't ask anything!"

"Why do we cry?"

"Whatever I want, it's none of your business!"

"If you don't have a problem, you won't cry!"

"Yes, my problem is in you. A husband who never cares and cares about his pregnant wife!"

"I'm always so attentive and caring for you. What are the gifts you take from me?"

"I don't just need that, Zayn. Take your time for me!" Maudy said in a high tone.

"I can't, Maudy!"

"Why can't it? Before I got pregnant almost every night you were at home and never went out of town. Now why is it so hard to take the time to even let me know you never did?" Maudy vaporized his entire unit.

"I'm sorry!" Zayn said slowly.

"I need proof not sorry, don't you promise to open your heart?"

"Maudy, lately my work has been out of town. Please, your understanding!"

"Well, if that's what you want. In that case, please understand to allow me to return to work!"

"No, Maudy!"

"I'm bored at home, Zayn!"

"I won't allow you, because I'm worried about your fetal condition!"

"You don't care about me?" Maudy asked with teary eyes.

"I care about you too" Zayn replied.

"If you care, don't treat me like this. I also want to be treated like a wife not as a woman who carries your child!"

Zayn.

Maudy sat on the side of the bed with tears in her eyes. "I want you to be there when I want something, I want to be around you. Did I get your attention wrong?" ogre

Zayn, instead of persuading, chose to leave the room.
