Chasing After My Wife Chapter 70
Advertisement
Once he finished dressing her up, he picked the large coat and hold it for her. It was still a little bit warm outside so it's fine if she won't wear it yet.
"Let's go." without any warning he kissed her forehead which made her so angry she didn't know what to do.
"Stop doing what you like! I am not your wife and I will not be your wife! You said it yourself so don't play dumb with me!" she spoke slowly with her gritted teeth. She really wanted to kick this man but her life was saved by him so she was indebted to him.
Travis could see that she was really angry this time. There was pain in her eyes mixed with flames of anger. "What do you mean I said it myself?"
"Nevermind." she turned around and walked out of her room first. Her hand was still shaking from anger. She was enrage! She was fuming! She really wanted to hit a punching bag!
She looked behind her and Travis was following her with the coat. He was looking down on his foot which made him look so pitiful.
"Whatever." Jillyanna mumbled and continued walking down the stairs.
Lucian and Cielo were also talking with Savannah and Hawk when the came down.
"Where are Valkyrie and Brown?" Jillyanna asked when she couldn't find the two men.
"They went home. They had to go somewhere later so they left first." Savannah answered.
"Since it's just us. Why don't we go out and eat altogether." Cielo invited them with a hopeful gaze. Savannah looked towards Travis and waited for his reply.
"That's fine with me." Travis commented which made Lucian and Cielo smile. However, Jillyanna was throwing him a look containing daggers that could slice up his throat.

"It's decided. We booked a restaurant already. Let's go." Cielo walked out first followed by Jillyanna and Savannah. Hawk was standing beside Savannah silently.
Lucian and Travis was behind the group giving them a chance to talk.
"What did you do to my sister? Why was she looking so angry at you?" Lucian inquired at him. Since it's Travis and he could tell that he's being sincere, he would vote for this man to be with Jillyanna forever. But then again, that is if Jillyanna would accept him.
Travis let out a heavy sigh and looked towards Jillyanna. "I just help her dress up."
"Oh. Only you can do that." Lucian stated with faint laughter.
"Of course it's only me. I will be her husband in the future."
"You are shameless, aren't you?"
"What's there to be shameful?"
"But Travis, you'll have a hard time winning her." Lucian stated with a helpless expression. No matter how hard they try to make her happy, no matter how rich they are, she still hadn't let go of her past.
It was another reason why she could understand Lorenzo Diaz. She could see herself in him. The woman who was imprison to her past. The woman who couldn't find the truth yet. The woman who felt abandoned by her relatives and family.
"I am sincere with my feelings." Travis stated with a serious face. Lucian was being protective of her and he needed to prove to him that his love was real.
"I am not saying you're not. I am just saying, if you really want to get close to her, you need to help her find answers to her questions and you have to protect her at all cost."
"That's given already. I will not let anything to happen to her."

"Thank you."
It was just a short talk but it helped Travis realize how difficult the road to get her would be. She must have gone through a lot in the past.
Jillyanna was talking with the other women so she didn't know she was the topic between the two men.
Cielo wanted her to get inside the car but she wanted to help her and Travis, too. If what Lucian said was true, they could entrust Jillyanna's safety to him.
"I want to eat a bucket of chicken wings. Let's stop by in one of the KFC stores." she stated with a straight face.
They all smiled at her. Even though she argued with Travis, she started to rely on him.
"Okay. I'll get a bucket for you. Get inside the car." Travis opened the door for her and helped her fasten her seatbelt. She leaned on her back to avoid him but she could still feel his hot breath on her skin.
Travis kept a poker face and walked to the driver's seat to drive the car.
Lucian and Cielo drove out first followed by Travis and Jillyanna, following behind them was the car used by Hawk and Savannah.
As promised, they stopped at the nearest KFC store and Travis bought her a bucket of chicken wings and water.
"You can't have soft drinks." Travis said while uncapping the bottle of water for her.
"Okay." Jillyanna said obediently like a child. "Do you want some?" she held a piece of chicken in front of him.
Travis looked at her and looked back to the meat in front of him. He took a bite and chewed on it slowly while driving. He thought Jillyanna would put it back on the bucket but contrary to his expectation, she actually took a bite on the same piece.
"What are you looking at? It's not like I haven't kissed you before. Duh!" she rolled her eyes and continued eating. 'If you can be shameless, I can too.' Jillyanna noted mentally. Travis chuckled and let her do what she wants.
Sometimes she would eat first and gave him the rest before giving her the water. One bucket contained eight pieces of chicken which they finished before arriving at the restaurant that they booked.
In the end, Jillyanna got sick of chicken meat and avoided it during their lunch. She only eat the shrimps that Travis peeled for her.
"Hey Travis, do you know Lorenzo Diaz?" Jillyanna asked with a scrutinizing gaze. She would know if he lies.
"I don't know. However, I found him familiar. But I don't really know him personally. Why?" Travis asked her in return after giving her a vague answer.
"Nothing." Jillyanna continued eating the peeled shrimps on her plate and she would sometimes place some food on his plate in return.
That's how pregnant woman is. Their mood can't be predicted at all.

Will he remain a cop? Or will he serve a different kind of justice? (Author's Note: I started writing this about 10 years ago and only now got around to the idea of uploading it.
