Chapter # 16

‘What am I doing?’

I remained silent and cursed myself for not saying anything. A silence fell upon the table and the cozy environment- which was never formed, was turned into tension.

“Rebecca.. I ..” My grip on my fork and knife tightened.

"...Say something, Ryan." Said Jared.

"Uh…" I trailed off. Rebecca sighed and put her hand over my shoulder and passed me a reassuring smile which sent daggers to me.

"It's okay, I shouldn't have asked. There's no need to prove. " She again handled the situation.

“And beside that fact we are married should be enough for you guys to not ask this question.” And her forbearance broke. Shit.

“Did you guys marry out of fun to ask about ours?” Rebecca snickered, folding her arm.

A silence fell upon the room, she left them speechless.

“See. So don’t ask this question again.” She said assertively.

“Don’t interfere nor try to question our bond because I can do the same with yours and it won’t end well.” She muttered, rolling her eyes off.
