The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 162

At least this time he is at a charity event, right? He didn't stand me up because he was partying or hanging out with his friends, so I shouldn't feel bad or disappointed. But why do I feel like that? Why am I scared? A voice inside of me keeps telling me that I'm exaggerating, but my gut feeling says otherwise.

It was hard to stay mad at him in the morning, because as far as I remember, I have never stayed mad at Silas for more than two hours and our fights are usually silly. I don't think what happened between us can be considered a fight, but couples don't need to fight to be mad at each other. Some things may happen out of the blue like the change of behaviour my husband is currently going through.

I talked to Kendall about what happened and she advised me to forgive him but not without making him work hard to earn my forgiveness.

I don't want to be the kind of melancholy wife who is always upset with her husband and making things hard for him. However, I need him to respect me when we both agree on spending some time together.

I'm used to Silas prioritizing me and lately, I have been feeling like I'm not one of his priorities and it hurts so much..

Not feeling like cooking, I decide to make myself some canned soup because it is the fastest thing I can do. I put on one of my favourite films and watch it while eating the soup.

Sometimes, I regret that Silas and I decided to get such a huge house at the early stage of our marriage because when I'm here on my own, I feel like it's too big for me. There's a lot of space and I can't occupy all of it.

Maybe I'm just feeling emotionally under the weather. I know that if I decide to go to my parents' place to spend some time with them, they will think that something is wrong between Silas and me. While this may be true, I still don't want to worry them. I also don't want them to know that things aren't exactly well with us.

myself busy with the new collection I'm currently working on to avoid any negative thoughts. I remember how Mum buried herself in work when she ran away while being pregnant with me. She spent five years working like there's no tomorrow to make a name for herself. She later told me that work was one of the things that kept her sane during those years, because if she had given in to all the dark thoughts that had roamed her mind,
