Chapter 20
BLAIRE
It feels like our honeymoon stage is over. For the last few weeks, we’ve been over the moon. We can’t keep our hands to ourselves and always indulge in an adventurous. journey full of passion and desire. All those passionate nights I’ve spent with him made up for the past year that we lost.
But now that it was over, our lives got back to the way they were. Sebastian becomes busier with the opening of his newly constructed hotel. I was left in the house most of the time, looking after my father. Though Sebastian hired a nurse to take care of him, still want to assist him in any way I can.
During my
free time, I still manage to bake some cake as a past time. This afternoon, I wanted to bake a chocolate moose for Sebastian. I’ve been busy the whole time, so I wasn’t able to check my phone. I figure that since Sebastian was busy with his meetings. he wouldn’t be able to text or call me.
“Is Mrs. Foster here?” I heard Clifford’s voice right outside the kitchen.
“Yes, she is,” he answered in a female voice, probably one of the maids.
It didn’t take long before Clifford walked right into the kitchen. I was too focused on sifting the cocoa powder on top of my chocolate moose,
“Madam, is your phone with you?” he asked once he entered the kitchen.
“Hmm…” I thought for a second and realized that I had left it in my room. “No. It’s in my room. Why? Is Sebastian with you? He’s quite early.” I said as I peeked at the clock. hanging on the kitchen wall. It was just five in the afternoon. He usually comes home around seven in the evening.
But I didn’t get any answers from Clifford. Instead, he let out a loud sigh before reaching for his pocket. He brings out his phone and calls someone.
“Yes, sir. He’s here. She said she left her phone in her room.” He stayed silent for a few moments before he answered again. “Yes, sir.” He then immediately handed me his phone.
I wipe my dirty has on my apron before getting the phone from Clifford. The
moment I put the phone near my ear, I immediately heard Sebastian yelling on the
other line.
“Why the hell are you not picking up your phone?” he asked angrily.

tone, mister,” I started. “Why are you mad? Is this a matter of life and death?”

I heard his sharp breath from the other line. He blew a couple more breaths as if he were trying to calm himself down. After a few minutes, he speaks again.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you. I just got worried when you weren’t answering your phone. I thought something bad happened to you,” he explained.
“You could have called the house before overreacting. There’s a lot of people here who’s going to answer the phone.”
“I know. I’m sorry, I overreacted,” he quickly apologized.”I just thought…
I’ve never seen this side of Sebastian before. When we were together before I left, we were like a normal couple. We would have breakfast and dinner together and sleep together. But we seldom talk. It was probably the reason why I opted to run away rather than talk to him. We started with a nonconventional relationship. We had never once talked about what kind of relationship we had. My sudden departure was probably the reason why he changed his treatment of me.
“I left?” I finished the sentence for him. “Sebastian, I’m not going anywhere, I assure him.
I heard him let out a loud sigh before he spoke again. “What have you been up to? Was that more important than checking up on your husband?” he asked. I can hear him. sulking on the other line.
“I’m baking you a cake,” I proudly told him.
“You did?” he said. He sounded so surprised.
“Yeah. So don’t be mad at me anymore for not answering your call, okay? I’ll see you later.
Are your
“I’ll see you later. I can’t wait to cake. Don’t let anyone eat it before me,” he said before hanging up the phone.
I offered Clifford a warm smile as I handed him back the phone. “I’d love to share a slice with you, but your boss made it clear that no one is allowed to indulge before him,” I remarked, a playful tone coloring my words.
“Madam, just the fact that you’ve lifted his cranky attitude is more than enough for me. He’s been quite a challenge since this afternoon,” Clifford confessed with a knowing smile.
A hint of remorse flickered across my expression. “I apologize. I tend to lose track of everything when I’m in the kitchen.”

“Oh, I’ve noticed,” Clifford chuckled. “And the boss certainly wasn’t too thrilled about it.”
“I’ll make a conscious effort to remember next time,” I promised, offering an apologetic smile.
“Thank you, madam. I’ll go ahead. I need to report back to the office,” he said, bidding his goodbye as he left the kitchen..
I was smiling at myself as I looked at the beautiful cake that I prepared for Sebastian. I put it inside the fridge and chilled it since I will serve it later tonight at dinner as our dessert.
Once I’m done, I ask the maids to clean up the mess so I can prepare myself for dinner. I still have at least two hours before Sebastian arrives from work. I wanted to look my best when he came home, so I made it a point to always prepare myself.
I took a long, warm bath to freshen up. My b*dy feels tired from the long hours of mixing and baking. It felt refreshing after I got up from the bathtub. Once I dried myself up, I immediately went to the closet to pick up my clothes. I decided to wear at simple green dress since we’re only having dinner at home. Though it’s just a simple dinner, I wanted it to be special. I feel like, for the longest time, this is the first time that we were having dinner like a normal husband and wife.
I didn’t bother putting on some makeup. Instead, I applied some serum and cream to brighten up my face. I looked at the clock, and it’s already six thirty in the evening. Just a few more minutes, and Sebastian will be here. I wanted to be the one who prepared the meal for him, so I decided to go down before he arrived.
I was so humming in happiness as I made my way to the kitchen to check on the preparations for dinner. I haven’t even reached the door to the kitchen, but I can already hear women’s voices giggling and laughing. Thinking it was the maids that were having a good laugh while working, I shrugged my shoulders and continued to go inside the kitchen.
My eyes widen in utter shock when I see what’s happening inside the kitchen. It was Catherine and her friends eating the cake that I prepared for Sebastian.
“Who told you to eat that?” I stormed inside the kitchen angrily.
“It was in the fridge. My friends and I wanted to have some desserts along with our coffee. So, what seems to be the problem?”
“Don’t you know how to read? I put a note on it. Didn’t you see it?”
She rolls her eyes at me. “Come on, Blaire. It’s just a cake, okay? If it’s a big deal, then I’ll buy you one. It wasn’t that good,” she said.

“I baked that, dimwit.” I insulted her in return.
She arched her eyebrow. She scoffs, “Now, I understand why it tastes so bad.” Her friends behind her started laughing. “Don’t worry, I’ll buy you a new one, a delicious
one.”
