Chapter 29
The first thing Henry did when he got to his room was sigh. It had been a very long day which ended up being the opposite of the plans he made. Kicking off his shoes, he quickly ran a hot shower but it did nothing to calm his nerves and few minutes later, he stepped out still feeling restless. Just then, he heard the unmistakable padding of Gina's feet as she made her way to her room. He ignored it and looked in the mirror, trying to figure out why he suddenly felt restless. Though his wife came back late, he only started feeling like this less than an hour ago and he couldn't figure out why.
Was it because he couldn't get total ownership of his father's properties? True, the negative response of the family lawyer and his mother overwhelmed him and made him mad, but he could move past it. After all, it wasn't like he didn't hold the second biggest shares in the company, and even if his father's best friend wanted to dominate them, it wouldn't be so easy. On his

Fifteen minutes into the run, Henry couldn't hold it anymore. He was very bothered by the silence from Gina's end and for some seconds, he turned to her, watching as she counted numbers in a low tone. He had been trying to get her to talk for some time, but each time, she shushed him and continued on. Gina gave him the impression she was still angry about last night's argument and he didn't know how to broach the conversation with her. So he continued to jog beside her, noticing how she seemed to move away even further.He hadn't wanted to go for a run that morning, as his initial plan was to sleep in and do some work later. However, he came out to see her looking quite different and withdrawn, so the idea instantly popped into his mind. He still felt bad about having to force her to tag him along, but he couldn't help it. If he hadn't done so, she might have come back more angry. But even now as the both of them were present, he still felt alone. The main issue was that he didn't kno

Gina felt energized when she finally reached the house, and she smiled at her efforts. She had greatly surpassed her previous feats of jogging and a part of her knew it was because her anger had nicely tipped onto a boil and rolled over. Still, she felt grateful for it and refused to acknowledge Henry as he came behind her, panting like a dying cat. She would have laughed at his weak efforts, but she wasn't in the mood for it, and besides, she already told him off so there was no reason to act friendly now.As she headed upstairs, her phone began to ring and she pulled it out to see a text from her longtime friend. The girl was in the city for some days, and wanted to hang out. Gina smiled as she moved towards her room, happy there would be a small break from her mundane life. However, something stopped her in her tracks and she sighed loudly before turning to her husband who sat on a stool, shamelessly gulping down a bottle of water. It was the most unrefined she had ever seen him, a

"Okay, okay. So I have another question. What was the highlight of your relationship?"This time, Gina burst into a laugh because she easily knew the answer to the question. Henry had spent the first few days complaining about it, and while at the time she was really distraught, now she found it funny and well deserving."It was a few days after we met. I discovered my ex boyfriend was cheating on me, and I felt so stressed and hungry. Coming back from work, I saw someone who looked like him and without thinking, I poured the person a cup of water only for the guy to remove his glass and it was my new friend, Henry. It was really embarrassing, and I spent the whole day apologizing."The table was silent for a moment, and she began to wonder if she told the wrong story. Would the adults see it as insulting and demeaning? Gina was about to start apologizing, when Henry's mother and aunt burst into a laugh."Oh, my. That's something. Why did you apologize to him? It was simply nature's w

Immediately he walked towards Barry, he knew what was coming but instead, Henry ignored his look and went in for a hug. "It's so good to see you man. What have you been up to?" He asked, hoping the guy wouldn't question his lack of a plus one. Luckily, the man smiled and clapped his back in the hug."I've been here and there, trying to secure the bag and marry the perfect person. It's good to see you too. Let's go in." Batty responded, walking ahead as they showed the bouncers their IDs and moved into the club.It was a familiar place for the both of them, along with the other guys they frequented the club with during their university years and all the old staff knew them personally.

As Gina played games with her friends, she tried her possible best to forget about what Henry said to her. Even though she appreciated him for everything he did and tried to make it up to him, he easily shunned her like always.
