It won't happen again

Chapter 85

RICHARD’S POV

B was awake when we got back to the penthouse. To avoid public eyes and attention, she insisted she could walk fine on her own and I shouldn’t carry her. But she was limping and finding it hard to walk. She even had to take off her shoes when we reached the elevator.

“I’m sorry B,” I said as I swiftly lifted her to my arms as if she weighed nothing, taking her by surprise. “I can’t afford to see you walking like that when my two hands are strong and working perfectly. Please let me be a caring husband and carry you.”

She didn’t say anything but just looked away with somewhat guilt and pain in her iridescent eyes. She had no other choice than to let me and even though didn’t want to, she was too frail to persist and I wasn’t willing to listen to her and let her go this time.

I carried her till we made it to her room and sat her properly on her bed before taking off her shoes. When her tears had dried off, I reached over and took out some tissues for her.
