His Cure

##Night.

…

After getting off the call with Winifred and after promising her that she would come visit her the next morning, Beatrice sauntered down the stairs.

She is getting hungry again and she is going to the kitchen to find what to stuff her stomach with.

As she passes by the dining area, she spotted food on the table.

She stared around before moving to it.

Did Melinda knew she would come down here to have dished out her food for her?

She sat down and drew the fried spaghetti closer to her.

She giggled before picking the fork and rolled some spag on it.

She has ate approximately half of the food when she heard;

“Isn’t that my food?”

Huhhhhh?!!!

She stared up and she almost collapsed when she saw Gregory staring back at her.

She chuckled nervously.

“I.. didn’t know. Besides, I thought it was for me. I didn’t know there would be another person that eats dinner in this house.”she scratched her nape.

She gulped down then carried the glass of water and drank some out of it.

“What?. Beatrice has eaten your food?.”Melinda came out of the kitchen and laughed.

Gregory frowned at her.

Melinda frowned back at him.

“By the way, Beatrice. Is it only me that is thinking this thing or are you thinking it too?. You’ve been eating a lot since so..”she pressed her lips back.

“Soo…?”Beatrice flipped her brows up at her.

“So, do you think you’re pregnant?”

Beatrice suddenly hiccuped.

“I mean why would I be?!!”she yelled.

Melinda arched her brows.

“Why would I be pregnant??.. I am not! Jeez, that was seriously ludicrous.”she fanned herself with her hand.

“Why can’t you be?”Melinda pressed her gaze on her.

Beatrice looked over at Gregory who was only focused on his coffee.

How can someone likes coffee so much?!

“Him!”she pointed her index finger at him.

Gregory’s eyes snapped up at her.

“What did I do?”he scoffed.

“I’m i pregnant?”she asked him.

Gregory scoffed.

“How I’m i supposed to know that?”he huffs.

“Why can’t you know that?”Melinda turned to him.

He squinted his eyes and chuckled.

“I mean, yes”

“She is indeed pregnant?”Melinda beamed.

“I mean, no!!!”

“No!!!”

Gregory and Beatrice freaked out at the same time.

Melinda sighed and shook her head.

“Whatever. I will go get you another plate, Gregory.”she said before walking away.

Ughhh..

Beatrice rolled her eyes.

Gregory sat down and sighed.

She continued eating the food.

“Do you have something to say?”she asks when she noticed his gaze in her.

He didn’t answer which makes her to look up at him.

“Wait.. you mean you have nothing to say?”she scoffed.

“What would I have to say?”his eyebrows deepened in a frown.

She continued eating.

Melinda brought his food for him and she waited till he was done eating before following him to his room without his knowledge.

As he spun around to shut the door, his brows perked up a little when he saw her behind him.

“Why are you moving around like a ghost?”he asks, moving back.

She stepped in and shuts the door.

“Someone tried to kill me.”she stayed.

“Well.. I heard that he has been caught.”he shrugged.

“You are not going to ask if I am fine?”

“Why should I do that when you’re here standing before me all hale and healthy? It’s not as if we are lovers so as far as you are not hurt physically, that’s fine.”

Beatrice pressed her lips together.

“Once a devil, always a devil. I do think the one that was captured is not the real culprit though.”

He sighed.

“Are you suspecting another person?”

“Yes. Jennifer.”

“What?”

“You heard me. I’m suspecting Jennifer.”

“That’s insane.”he breathed out.

“Jennifer is an insane bitch that would do anything just to have you.”

“Well, I…”

“This is the first time I would be asking something from you, Gregory. As your girlfriend and soon to be wife, I request you investigate this properly.”she stepped closer to him.

Gregory took a step back.

“Alright.. alright, fine! I will get someone to look into that.”he blinked rapidly.

She brought her head closer to his.

“Okay.”she smiled and left his room.

Gregory sat on the chair and breathed out, holding his chest.

…

Morning.

~~

“Good morning!”Beatrice greeted Gregory as she streaked inside the dining room.

He dropped the slice of bread he was just about to have.

“Morning to you too.”he replied.

She went to sit beside him and he widened his eyes at her.

“What are you doing?”he whispered.

She herself does not know what has come over her but she just knows she wants to tease him to death.

“You’re my man after all.”she whispered back.

Or is it because she wants to get back at Jennifer?

Since she has made that brutal move on her, she has decided to make her stomach explode in jealousy by getting more closer to him.

She picked a slice of bread and shoved it in his mouth.

“Eat.”she chuckled.

One of the cooks came out to drop a plate of fried eggs on their table.

She blushed when she saw the scene.

Gregory was still speechless by Beatrice’s sudden change.

Can a day trip change one so quick like this?

The cook turned to leave.

“Wait. Has he taken his coffee this morning?. He likes that a lot, you know.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Oh, nice. You can go.”

The cook left.

Gregory grunts and stood up.

“I’ll be off then.”

“So soon?”she held his hand.

He stared down at her hand that was holding his and frowned.

She stood up and attempted to peck his cheek but he moved his head back.

She pressed her lips together and nod her head with a smile.

“Bye.”she released his hand.

He slammed some keys on the table

“Take this with you when you’re going oit.”he said and left hurriedly.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Well.. what?

She smirks a little.

She returned to her food and giggled.

When she was done eating, she went to pick up her bag from her room, took the keys Gregory gave her and headed out of the house.

A guard walked towards.

“Good morning, ma’am.”

“Morning.”she nodded.

“I would be your driver and bodyguard from now on.”
