The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 160

He's late again.

I don't want to be the annoying wife, who doesn't give her husband a chance to breathe, but disappointment is tearing me apart and I'm not sure if this is considered an exaggeration or not.

Silas and I have been married for a year and three months. Our one-year anniversary was amazing. In fact, our first year together was too good to be true, but I don't know why there's a negative feeling in my gut whenever I think about our second year.

On our one-year anniversary, Silas decided to take me on a three-day vacation to Hawaii where he made every moment memorable. He organized a majestic beach date that was literally as beautiful as the romantic gestures I read about in the novels. It wasn't just the fact that he booked an entire beach for us. He gave me my own beach cinema that night.

He pulled a few strings and managed to get me a copy of a movie I wanted to watch even though it hadn't been released yet. We cuddled on comfy schezlongs for the whole time, wrapped up in a warm blanket, savoring every second of that unforgettable night. I know that life isn't supposed to be a fairytale all the time, but I can't help but notice some changes that has been going on lately. The thing is, I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong or this is just marriage.

But I have seen my parents and how beautiful their marriage is. I know that they did not have an ideal start, but as I look at them now, I always pray to end up having the same marriage they have. They do have their disagreements like any other couple, but I have always appreciated how they always put their love above anything else. Neither of them cares about winning an argument as their main worry is not hurting each other.
