Female Novel
Reminiscing
“I see. I guess he won’t be making it for dinner then. I’ll go out for dinner first. Can you let him know that
I’ll be back for him?” I asked.
“Sure, Madame. I’ll do that. Please enjoy dinner,” Dan replied politely before I hung up.
It’s unfortunate that Edward won’t be able to make it to dinner with me. It was slightly disappointing, but
I guess that was ok. I grabbed my bag from the sofa and headed out to grab something quick to eat.
Hopefully, by the time I was done with dinner, Edward would be done with his meeting too.
I decided to have dinner at a nearby mall where many restaurants were available. Dan mentioned that
the meeting would likely last for another couple of hours which meant that I had extra time on my hand
after dinner as well. Going to the mall was perfect because I could do some retail therapy while I waited
for Edward to finish his meeting.
I was in the middle of my shopping spree when my phone starting ringing in my bag. Reaching my
hand into my bag, I got hold of the phone and answered the call immediately. As I had anticipated, it
was Edward on the other end of the line. I guess his meeting ended already. My wristwatch showed
that it was around three hours since I had left his office.
“I’m so sorry, Natalia…the meeting ran over…” Edward quickly apologized when the line connected.
I couldn’t help smiling a little to myself at how flustered he seemed.
“It’s ok…where are you?” I asked.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t have dinner with you. The meeting just ended, I’m still in the meeting room. I called
you first thing,” Edward said, his voice sounding tired.
“I’m at the nearby mall. I’m just about done here, what about you wait for me in your office?” I
suggested.
“Ok…see you soon,” Edward said.
“Have you eaten?” I asked, slightly worried.
“I did. It was a sad meal in the meeting room…but yeah…” Edward replied, followed by a depressing
sigh.
“See you….” I said before hanging up.
I quickly paid for the clothes and shoes that I had just selected using my credit card before asking the
saleswoman to get it delivered to the mansion.
…
When I arrived back at Edward’s office he was already there, seated at his worktable. I went in quietly
as I tried not to disturb him from his work. The meeting was over, but Edward seemed to be working.
His eyes were focused on the computer screen in front of him and his face was stern.
I walked up to his worktable and sat down on the chair on the opposite side of his table. He looked up
at me when I sat down and smiled at me.
“You’re back faster than I expected,” Edward said.
“Is that a good or a bad thing?” I asked teasingly.
“Always a good thing…” He replied without hesitation.
“How was the meeting? It seemed very long. Had trouble?” I asked, slightly worried about how tired
and stressed-out Edward looked.
“There’s some trouble abroad but I’m trying my best to deal with it here so that I don’t have to fly out…”
Edward said followed by a tired sigh.
I knew that Edward didn’t want to travel abroad because that meant being away from home, away from
me and our son as well.novelbin
“I can always take care of our son and things here while you’re away…” I offered as I tried to reassure
him.
“You know that’s not the point. If you can take care of things while I’m away, I can take care of work
while I’m here…” Edward said almost grumpily.
I decided to drop the matter altogether and trust Edward’s judgement on this. There was no point
arguing with Edward once he’s made up his mind. While I was pondering which way to steer our
conversation, Edward spoke up.
“By the way, there’s a grand launch event of one of our client’s products coming up next week. If you’re
ok with it, I want you to attend the event with me,” Edward said, his voice clearly showing that he wasn’t
looking forward to the event.
“Sure, I’ll gladly be your date,” I replied with a smile.
“Great. Thanks…it’s not going to be fun, and there’ll be a lot of annoying reporters there…” Edward
said as he leaned back into his chair.
Edward and I haven’t been out to public events together for a while already. I personally have gotten
used to attending these events with Edwards after the public got used to the fact that we were married
and have formed a family of our own together. Those times were difficult but just as Edward had
promised, those times did past. However, that didn’t mean that I was thrilled to attend public events
with Edward or with anyone else for that matter.
“I’m sure that it’ll turn out just fine. We just need the maids to standby to take care of our little one,” I
said as I smiled at him.
“It’s been many years since then…” Edward mumbled as if talking to himself.
However, I could hear what he was saying and wondered what he was referring to.
“Since when?” I asked curiously.
“Come here and I’ll tell you,” Edward replied as he beckoned me over to him with the gesture of his
hand.
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at him but decided to do what he wanted anyways.
“Reminiscing about the past?” I asked as I smiled teasingly at him.
Edward immediately wrapped his arms around my waist when I came to stand next to him. I watched
as he leaned his head against my body before gazing up at me with his beautiful green eyes.
“Do you remember the first time we had sex?” Edward asked, his eyes never leaving my face.
I would be completely lying if I said that I didn’t remember our first time doing it. It wasn’t the most usual
of circumstances, so it wasn’t that easy to forget about.
“I do. Why are you asking?” I said, slightly unsure about the direction this conversation was heading.
“I still remember it very well. We did it in my office…on the table...” Edward said as his green eyes
continued to stare deep into mine.
