Loving You Is Not An Accident: It’s Destiny - 254 LET’S NOT TALK ABOUT HIM

Evening came, Ingrid and Clark are so busy taking care of the twins, Clark presented himself to help his mom clean up the twins which Ingrid happily agreed.

“Clark, hand me the diapers please…”

“Yes mommy! Here..” his mommy is all smile while changing Edric’s diaper, “you’re happy mommy…”

She looked at her son, “I am so happy, son,”

“May I know why?” he curiously asked while his gaze lingered to how his mother changes the diaper.

“Hmm… for one, I just remembered the times when you were little, like Edric, you were so behave while I am changing you, and you really love to take a bath too…”

“Really mommy?” she nodded in agreement and his eyes twinkled as he listens to his mother.

“When I came back from work and I feel so exhausted with just a smile from you everything will fade and I am energized again and then you’ll hold my hand just like little Edric is doing.” Clark’s eyes become wide eyed and amused.

“Ohhhh… so does it mean that if daddy will come back from work then we smile at him, he will no longer feel tired?” she chuckled.

“He will be so overwhelmed, I believe, especially that the three of you could give him much energy just by looking at you, how much more if you’ll smile, kiss and hug him oh so tightly, just like this…” Clark giggled seeing his mommy carried Edric in her arms, while Avyanna is still asleep.

“Can I do it when daddy’s home?”

“Of course you can son…” they went still upon hearing someone interrupted their talk and directly looked at the door. “come here! Give me a hug…”

“DADDY!” Clark run to his father, smile, kissed him on the cheeks and hugged him. “Hope you’re no longer tired daddy…”

“Ahhwww… my sweet little boy… you’re my energy ball, don’t you know…” he kissed his son and afterwards bent his head to kiss his wife on the lips.

“Eww daddy!” Clark reacted when he saw that his daddy kissed his mommy on the lips, which made the couple laugh.

At that moment, Avynna suddenly cried.

“Oh, I think, she’s a daddy’s girl… she never cried like that earlier…” Ingrid grinned.

“Really? Hmmm… that sounds good… she will get married when she’s thirty…” Ingrid laughed. “Son, can I put you down first, so that I can carry your little sister?”

“Of course daddy, I am big brother now,”

“How was your day, love?” Ingrid asks.

“Kinda busy, we’ve met the new investor, this morning…” he said nonchalantly.

“Good. May I know who is it?”

“Sheldon Measley,” his jaw tightened at the mention of his name.

“Oh God, no…why is he in the company now?” her eyes widen in surprise.

“Let’s not talk about him, okay? He is nothing important… I don’t to talk about business if we are together especially with our children..”

“Sorry, love…” she bowed down her head.

When the twins are already settled, they put them back in the crib,

“I am sorry, love, are you alright?” he asks.

“Ahh, ye-yeah… I just… can’t help it… I somehow miss – anyways, this is way better… come on, let’s eat our dinner, I cooked your favorite.” Ingrid smiled at her husband but it didn’t reach her eyes.

Lately, despite her busyness with taking care of her children, she is still not used to her new life style. She’s been a workaholic all her life and staying at home is so new to her. Gloominess is eating her up. She feels useless. Insecure. Unattractive. Negative thoughts are attacking her and there are times she wanted to succumb to the pessimistic ideas in her mind.

They were already in their room and Ingrid just finished taking her warm bath while her husband is already in the bed reading a book. When Ingrid went to bed, he closes the book, faces her, reaching out his hand.

“My love, come here, sit beside me…” she crawled to his side and leaned on his shoulder.

“What is it, love? Is there something wrong?” her eyes are droopy.

“Do you have something to share to me? Like anything that bothers you?” she did not answer and thought that she is sleeping already.

“Love?” he called her again.

“Hmmm… yeah, I am just adjusting to this kind of lifestyle again, I was a career for as long as I can remember and being in the house only is very… new to me. But, I have decided and this is just part of the process. Don’t worry love, this is nothing but natural.” She consoled herself. She knew that her husband is having a hard time juggling these companies at the same time. She wanted to help but she could not afford to leave the twins.

“Well, if you want, you can help me from here, you know…” he boyishly smiles at her honestly, “…I really need your help, love, you alone could keep my inner peace altogether, but you can do it at home, in your free time. Can you be my home bound sexytary?” he grinned.

“Oh Cliff, my love, of course I would love to help you, I am your helpmate and I will be the one to prepare your suits everyday so that you will remember me while you’re wearing it…” Ingrid feels giddy at the thought.

“Oooohhhh I love that. How about our sexy time, love, is it every night?”

“Oh..” she huffed and then she grinned, “…anytime you like…” she winked at him.

Without warning, he straddle himself on top of her, “so, can we start now?”

“OH YES!”

…♥…♥…♥…

The couple agreed that, his wife’s work is to thorough check, make presentations, read proposals, reports or anything that needs immediate action and signature of her husband in either the Howards Companies or the Briggs since she knew these companies pretty well.

In this way, she could lessen the load work of her husband and Gary who is starting to get bald because of stress. At times, Ingrid would prepare lunch for her husband and that she would include Gary’s portion.

Just like today, since she missed eating lunch with her husband, she’d surprise him today and called Gary if her husband is around which he happily said that he is and has no luncheon meeting and is available until two in the afternoon.

Three knocks on the door caused Clifford to open his eyes as he lays his head on his chair. He stands up immediately when he saw his wife with their twins in their strollers and Clark. Ingrid then motioned the nannies to bring the food and prepare it.

“What a lovely surprise I’ve got here…” he welcomes her with an embrace and a kiss on her lips, he also kissed his son and the twins.

“Daddy! You look tired. Are you hungry? Come on! Let’s eat…” both of them chuckled looking at their son.

“Gary, come eat with us…”

After lunch…

“Ahh, before I forget love, I’ll be going to the mall after a short nap, it’s been a while since I got to go out,” Ingrid said.

“Would you like me to accompany you?” Clifford asks.

“No need, love,” she smiled to him when she sees that her husband is a little bit sceptical of her plan.

“Can you handle these kids?”

“Of course… not…” she grinned, “…but the nannies are with me, so yeah, I can… besides, love, you’re still busy here. Don’t worry okay?” her husband just sighed deeply.

“But don’t stop me if I’ll send bodyguards with you, and you won’t even notice they’re around…”

“How many are they?” her husband did not respond but just smiled.

“I love you and I am doing this for you and our children’s safety,” she could no longer protest and just decided to take a short nap.
