Way Of Me
The Part 19

I looked back at Zoey as Mr. Rick left me. I saw him staring at me and smiling until he finally turned his eyes back when someone brought him back to talk.

Jackson faithfully accompanied Zoey there. I don't know, I feel like he's more entitled to Zoey than I am. They do look very harmonious. So that since then everyone has been talking about if they should return to being a couple.

I feel inferior.

Oh my... Should I leave him ?

No, the right question is am I willing to leave it ?

I went down the stairs to the exit of the building. I feel like I need to calm down first. But, just as I reached the door, Mr. Kean was already waiting for me there.

" I'm sorry, sir, I'm allowed to rest for a while" I said, asking him for permission.

" Rest first. I know you need to calm yourself down after what your father-in-law said "he said that left me flabbergasted.

How could Mr Kean know ?

" Why do you see me like that ? Ah, you must want to know why I can find out right ? " he said guessing my way of thinking.

Finally, Mr. Kean and I walked to a quiet place. A place where not too many people pass by.

" I heard your conversation by accident" said Mr. Kean, beginning our conversation.

He didn't want me to wonder where he knew it.

I nodded in understanding.

" What are you going to do now ? " Mister Kean asked while watching me.

" I don't know, sir... I don't know what to do. I love my wife very much, but I also can't keep her stuck with me "my answer.

" So you're willing to comply with your father-in-law's request ? " ask Mr. Kean again.

I took a long breath.

" You can ask Mr. Max and my father for help. I'm sure they'll be happy to help you " said Mr. Kean again. He gave me a way out, but I didn't want to trouble anyone else.

" No, Mister... I don't want to trouble anyone in my problems. Let me finish it. After all I've been used to struggling with problems all this time "I refused Mr. Kean's offer.

He breathed, then watched me. Maybe he thinks I'm stupid and stubborn. But I don't want to trouble anyone. Let me take care of everything myself.

" David... Actually, you don't have to worry about Mr. Max. Mr. Max really wants to help you... "

" I'm sorry, sir, I know that Mr. Max is a very good man. He feels indebted because I helped him. But I don't want to be the one who's mumpung. I swear I sincerely helped Mr. Max. After all, by being accepted to work with you alone, I already feel helped "clearly me.

" Dave, there's something you should know. Actually Mr. Max is... "

" Hubby, you're here, apparently ? I've been looking for you ever since "said a man whose voice I knew him very well. That's Zoey's voice. And he is now walking towards me and Mr. Kean.

" Miss Zoey... Congratulations on the award you received ", Mr. Kean told Zoey.

" Thank you, Mr. Kean, " said Zoey with a friendly smile.

" I'm sorry, then ! Looks like you guys need some time for both "said Mr. Kean then excuse us for leaving us.

" Ah, yes Dave... You can go home first with your wife "excited Mr. Kean before leaving in front of me and Zoey.

Zoey hugged me tightly.

" Zoey, what are you doing ? Later someone sees us "I said trying to let go of his embrace.

But Zoey didn't heed my words. It just got tighter and tighter hugging me.

" Let this be Dave ! I've been waiting for time to be with you" Zoey said, sticking her cheek on my chest.

I finally returned Zoey's embrace. I can't deny it, if I want to hug her like this too.

" It should be you next to me, Dave. Not Jack ! " said Zoey annoyed.

I stroked his back, trying to calm himself.

" Why should we hide our marriage, Dave. Wouldn't it be better if I acknowledged you as my husband, so there wouldn't be anyone who would demean you " Zoey said again, then raised her face and looked at me.

" It's okay, honey. Let them take me low, as long as you don't think like that, I'm fine. For me the most important thing is your happiness "I said looking at the bead of his eyes that look sad.

" Ah, yes. Congratulations on the award you have received. You know, I've been wanting to hug you and congratulate you since "my word was trying to shift the subject.

" In that case, now you have to give me a gift for getting an award. Then what are you going to give me ? " ask Zoey with a seductive look.

" What if this ? " my words then scooped up Zoey's lips and gently gripped her.

I could feel Zoey putting her hand around my neck and she replying to me. The pagutan which was originally soft, now turned demanding. If it continues, there may be something hotter than this. So as much as possible I immediately stopped our activities.

" Hey, what's up ? " question Zoey did not take it when I removed the link of our lips.

" Not here, honey. Too risky ! Later we just continue at home "I replied while stroking his face.

" Alright, then let's go home ! " say Zoey while pulling my hand.

" No, Zoey... You should go home with Jackson and your father "my dream.

" Ck, I don't want to ! Aren't you mad to see Jack always following me. You know, I had to run away from her just to meet you. Who is he ? It should always be you with me, because you are my husband ", Zoey said.

I stroked his face, then rubbed his head.

" You think I'm not upset ? I was angry, I was jealous to see you with him. If I could just replace him to be with you always, but I can stand it because I don't want to humiliate you. I don't want people to look down on you just for seeing me as your husband "obviously.

" When are we like this ? " ask Zoey with a face.

" Wait until I can make you proud. Until I have the strength and power to protect you. I'm sure everything will be beautiful in time, although we will have to go through a winding road to deal with it "my answer is trying to convince Zoey.

" Well, I'll always look forward to that time. Ah yes, there is something important that I want to tell you ", Zoey said. He seemed very enthusiastic to say it.

" What is that ? " i asked with curiosity.

" I think this is very good news because it can make our relationship even more inseparable " replied Zoey with sparkling eyes.

" really ? What is honey ? " i was getting curious because I saw Zoey was so excited to say it.

" Dave, I'm actually... "
