Chapter 93 - Sorry...sweetheart

She pushed him away from her and looked at the door. She felt so embarrassed to open the door and face the people outside.

Adrian noticed her facial expression and apologized, " I am sorry. I could not control myself. I forgot where we are at"

She turned away from him, closing her eyes to calm her mind. She looked so frustrated. He sensed how embarrassing it would be for her to face the people outside. He quietly opened the door and walked out of the trial room. He went to pay the bills for the dresses at the bill counter.

After a few minutes, Katherine came out of the trail room changing her dress. She saw the salesgirl and a few customers giggling at her. She quickly walked out of the mall without waiting for him. Adrian noticed her going out hurriedly and ran after her like a love-sick puppy.

" Kathie…."

" Kathie….Stop… " he followed calling her.

" What do you think of yourself? Huh? " she shouted at him.

Then she continued " For god sake, behave yourself. Do you know how I felt when those people were staring at me? " 

While holding her wrist with one hand and carrying shopping bags with another hand, he dragged her to his car. He unlocked the car and opened the door. He made her sit in the car.

" Please….calm down. I am extremely sorry " he said then ran to the other side and sat in the driving seat.

" It's okay. It is common in this modern time. " he tried to calm her.

" Stop it. "

" I died with shame with their glares and giggles. Do you know how embarrassing it was? " she shouted.

" Love...What can I do if you are so sexy in that dress? I could not control myself, " he answered shamelessly.

She glared at him and instantly he shut his mouth, noticing her eyes which were red with tears and anger.

He remained silent and started driving the car while stealing glances in between from the corner of his eyes. There was complete silence in the car. All the way, she didn't turn her head.

….

" We reached…." He said finally.

Without looking at him, she got down from the car. He reminded her to take shopping bags with her.

" I don't want them. Give it to your fiance" she replied and ran into her house. After entering the room, she threw her things in her hands on the bed. 

He stayed there for some time looking at the house. Then he drove to his villa.

....

She went to the bathroom and turned the shower knob. Still, she could his lips and hands over her. She started crying remembering intimate moments and how she melted with his touch. She stayed under the shower for half an hour to hide her tears from Martin and Sam.

After becoming normal, she prepared dinner. First, she fed Sam as he was sleepy and tired. Sam wished good night to and went to sleep. Martin and Katherine were alone and having their dinner.

" Kathie….I want to share the good news" he said with excitement.

She noticed happiness on his face after many years and asked " You looked so happy. That means your book was published. Isn't it?" 

" Yes, Kathie. Tomorrow my novel is going to be sold in the market. Hope I get good recognition, " he said.

" I have full faith in your work. Your novel will be Talk of the town" She encouraged. 

" If your words become true then all credit goes to you. You worked for us like a clock all the time. Being a man, I didn't earn a penny. Still, you supported me all the time and saved the money for my treatment. I am blessed to have a best friend like you" he said emotionally.

" Shut up. You idiot. Don't make me cry with your words. Anyways I am so happy for you" she hugged him while still crying.

…..

Later, they wished good night and went to sleep in their respective rooms.

…..

At Adrian's Villa

As soon as he stepped inside, he found his mother sitting on the couch in the living room. She looked sad and he saw the packed suitcase beside the couch.

" Mom….Are you going anywhere? " he asked anxiously.

" I think you have no difference if I stay or not? " She replied in an angry voice.

" Mom… What happened to you? Why are you talking like that? Don't you know how much importance I gave to you in my life" He said.

" Then why don't you agree to fix your wedding date? Huh? Now you don't respect my words" she said with hurt.

" Oh my god!!! I think it's one of the most terrible days in my life. I am facing the wrath of the two most important women of my life. " he thought in his mind.

" Why are you so silent? What is going on in your mind? Tell me..." Maria shouted.

" Emily will return in three to four days, then we can discuss it. Please be patient for four days, " he pleaded.

She looked at his face and walked towards him. She caressed his face and asked, " Are you hiding anything from me? Did you and Emily break up? " 

" Please...don't think too much and get worried about us. It will affect your health. I swear that we did not fight. " he assured his mother.

" Then it's okay. "

" But don't tell me that you are not going to marry," she warned.

He smiled at her and said, " I will marry for sure. Don't worry. " 

" Mom….let have dinner. I am so hungry," he said, placing his hand on his stomach like a kid.

" I was so angry at you. So I don't prepare dinner for us. I wanted to leave our hometown" she answered.

" Give me a few minutes, I will prepare dinner," she said with a serious face.

" No need to prepare. Let's go out for dinner" he said.

They both went to the restaurant in his car. When Adrian was looking for the empty table, his mother hurriedly walked towards the table where one couple was having their dinner. 

" Hi, Thomas....How are you? " Maria greeted Thomas who was having dinner with his wife.
