Best Defense

The show about to start

"Sean?" This is the fourth time I have called his name and he has not turned his head. His eyes were on the laptop in front of him. If he wasn't sulking I'd make sure the laptop would be destroyed, he knew I didn't like the work in the room.

I exhale heavily while massaging the base of my nose. He was angry because I didn't tell him about Nino. Well, rather haven't told him.

After arriving at Nino's apartment this afternoon, we immediately took her to the hospital. I called her mom and said that Nino passed out and I took her to the hospital, but she was out of town, and she was coming back in the morning and she asked me to take care of Nino for a while. Well, I didn't do that because my husband needed me too. After all, there were other women who could take care of him.

"Sean," He was still silent, seemingly unconcerned as if I wasn't around him.

Realizing Sean hasn't spoken to me yet, I'm stepping into the locker room. I grabbed the sleeping robe from the closet and put it on, then walked out of the room. Not wanting to persuade her any longer, I decided to look at my children for a while. Trust me, dealing with a jealous person is exhausting.

I can't believe this. After so much that we've been through, Sean is still jealous of my ex-husband that I never even noticed for a second. I've buried deep in my past with Nino, there's nothing left but the fact that he's the real father of my son.

My hand moved around Ben's door knob. I turned my head and saw he was still asleep in the same position an hour ago I left him. Ben was so scared, his body didn't stop shaking while we were in the hospital and just calmed down when Nino regained consciousness, and I was relieved when the doctor said there was no serious illness. Nino fainted from her suddenly changing blood pressure.

After making sure Ben was okay, I switched to Lily's room. It turned out that she was also sleeping quietly while Miss Darla seemed to be tidying up the diaper changing table. I closed the door to Lily's room without saying anything, then went downstairs and straight into the kitchen. There's nobody there.

I grabbed a large cup of ice cream from the refrigerator, then shifted to grab a spoon on the kitchen table and turned to step into the living room. I sat there alone for a few hours, first making friends with ice cream and then ending up with a bottle of wine that now has little left. I intoxicated. Oh, yep... Sean made me lose my mind in the face of his jealousy.

After feeling light enough to sleep, I went back to my room. Sean was sitting on the couch with his laptop. Not disturbed by my presence. I slowly closed the laptop in front of him. "I'm sleepy." I said, then landed my butt next to him. I hugged his arm and closed my eyes.

Sean didn't say anything, just the sound of heavy breathing I could hear until as I was about to fall asleep, I felt him lift my body and lower me on the bed. Then he turned off the lights and went to lie down to hug me and pull the blanket. "Good night, husband." At once I felt comfortable being where I wanted most and fell asleep immediately. That's what's supposed to happen.

"Wake up, drunkard!" I squirmed unhappily as Sean pulled the blanket in one swift motion, making me distracted by the morning sweep of sunlight. I grabbed a pillow and covered my face.

"Ah, you're bothering me, Sean!" I grumbled from behind a pillow. "Wake me up in half an hour." I was just about to resume my sleep, but suddenly the memory of last night flashed through my mind.

Do I deserve to ignore Sean like that? Or does he deserve to be angry with me? But, in any case I didn't like his exaggerated attitude whenever Nino's name came into our lives, Sean always considered Nino as a threat that might ruin our relationship. Even though he himself actually knew I could take care of myself.

I like the way he loves me. He showed care and affection, but there were times when I didn't understand his way of thinking. He should have understood that my relationship with Nino couldn't possibly be cut off. Again, there's Ben among us. And this topic has been in my conversations with Sean a lot.

I pulled the pillow from my face and saw Sean standing with both hands folded in front of his chest. "What are you doing?" many confused. He looked calm with a mischievous grin at the corner of his mouth as if nothing had happened last night.

"I should have asked, Franda. What did you do to me last night?"

My eyebrows are linked, not understanding the meaning of his words at all. I don't remember doing anything last night, other than getting drunk and sleeping with him. Ooh, God! That's the key word. Drunken.

I lowered my gaze down, looked at my body under the blanket and instantly relaxed. Why would I do that again? Oh my...

"Did you remember anything?" Suddenly my cheeks were hot holding in shame, while Sean smiled triumphantly. "I think I need to get those wines out of the art room."

I cleared my throat, trying to shake off the shame that was covering me. "Can you explain what happened? Last night I was conscious when I went back to my room, and I remember you hugging me until I fell asleep." I muttered honestly. That's what's in my memory of last night. "At any rate, a bottle of wine won't make me drunk until I'm unconscious" I said in self-defense.

Sean grunts. "That's before you woke up at two in the morning and took off all my clothes. Are you out of your mind?" He seemed to be protesting, but a happy glint was glimpsed in his eyes as we looked up.

I put my shoulders down. "I'm sorry, I don't remember" I said. I inched down from the bed, galloping to pick up my cloak lying on the bed and continued my steps to the bathroom. Sean followed.

"You're really wild, Franda. Punishment will follow as soon as the sun goes down." he said with an overzealous spirit, I could see his mouth smiling as he spoke.

A mocking laugh came out from between his lips. "Franda, you didn't notice when you undressed me, but you realized that you were pouring wine into your glass, and you knew what would happen if you got drunk."

"No." sergeant. "I don't know. Swear on!" My two fingers were pointing in the air. I don't know, and I didn't lie about it. "All I know is that you're angry because I didn't have time to tell you about Nino and you didn't want to talk to me. That's all!" I stepped into the bathroom, while Sean was still following me.

As I brushed my teeth, he spoke again. "You forget me every time you meet him." I shook my head, looking at him from the mirror. "Yes, you forgot me, Franda. Don't dodge it."

I let him babble while I was finishing my toothbrush business. "You can call me or text me and I can meet you at the hospital, but you don't do that. I wouldn't even know if it wasn't Black who told me. You made it all..."

"Stop!" I started to lose my patience. I hurriedly finished my activities and turned to look at him. "You know? You're acting like a child now." I said, then stepped past him wiping my mouth with a small towel I pulled from the counter drawer in the bathroom.

"Franda, I don't like you being in contact with her, can you understand what I mean?"

"Sean! Nothing related to Nino," I took a deep breath before resuming my words. "I can't believe you're acting like this, even after what we've been through and you still doubt me. We've talked about it a lot, aren't you sick of talking about the same thing over and over again? What are you really afraid of?"

Sean was speechless, rubbing his face roughly with one hand. Then I continued again. "Ben called me and cried in fear, what else do you think is in my head other than trying to help my son? I told you there's no chance for me to get back with Nino, even if we split up. I'm not going back with him." I threw a towel on the bed and approached him.

I gently raised both of my hands cupping her face, she still looked calm but her eyes darkened. "Please, trust me. It was Ben in my mind."

Sean was still silent, until a while later he nodded weakly. "I trust you, but I can't trust him. I even thought he was faking a faint for you to come."

I don't know how to respond to her words other than laughing amusedly. It doesn't make sense. "Look, jealousy makes you look like a fool. Even if Nino had fainted on purpose, why hadn't she done it in the past? You're really funny." I laughed again seeing his frustrated face.

Sean Warner, my wonderful husband would turn chaotic when he was jealous. He could deal with anything and anyone, but instantly shrank when dealing with Nino who was nothing compared to him. Sean didn't realize how much he had an effect on my life, I wouldn't leave him for someone like Nino. Thats impossible.

"Go take a shower, you're too late" I said after kissing her lips.

"You forgot I'm the boss." he muttered arrogantly with both hands wrapped around my waist.

I grinned at him. "Yes, but I'm the boss at your house." Lose her mouth, she snorted violently.

"There's something I want to do with you. Come on, we gotta take a shower and get ready." Without waiting for my answer, Sean took me to the bathroom. Carrying me on his shoulder like a sack of rice.

There was no heat and sweat-draining activity during our bath. I think he's exhausted from the unconscious attack I made on him yesterday. Seriously, I don't remember anything about it. But I believe after seeing the red dots on his chest, that some of it was already blue. Sean really drives me crazy, even in my unconscious state I still want it. I never imagined this would happen in my life.

How cruel he was to attract my attention. Sean's merciless attitude made me turn wild and uncontrollable, the satisfaction I had gained while with him was far greater than I had ever felt before. The touch of his hand alone could make all the shaking long. I am so grateful to have Sean in my life, besides being handsome and having endless passion, he is also rich. Hm... plus points? Sure oes.

But even if Sean wasn't as rich as he is now, maybe I wouldn't mind having to pay for his life. Well, everything in him deserves to be rewarded with a very high value.

"So, where are you taking me this time my sugar daddy?" I was joking when the car we were riding in drove away from the building where we lived.

Sean drives by himself today. I don't know where he's taking me yet, but it looks like we're going to visit somewhere sports-related, considering the clothes we wear today are sportier. "You'll find out soon enough, honey. Calm down and enjoy your journey." relax.

I thought, throwing my eyes out and enjoying the ride as he said. Then I unconsciously fell asleep, until Sean's voice teased me. "Darling, we've arrived."

"Hm?" I straightened my body and looked around. "Where are we?"
