"You can put me down now." His wife said when they reached the foot of their bed.
Actually, there was no need to carry her to their bedroom, but despite her protests, he insisted. Besides, not wanting her to get hurt any further, he liked having her in his arms.
"Thanks," Sophia pushed her hands against his chest, when he finally let her feet touch the ground. But he didn't let go of her. Instead, he kept his hold on her arms as if he were afraid that she might fall.
"Why does it feel like you have been avoiding me?" He said, voicing his growing suspicion.
Although he had been busy attending to various business matters, he still tried to call or text her. But his wife seemed determined to ignore her, texting him only once to say that she was busy.
"I told you, I was with your mother all day." His wife explained, her head low as if she didn't want him to catch her eyes.
