CALM AND COLD

JEMIAH POV

Sitting across from me on the dining was Ryan eating, he seemed to the enjoying the meal. Well, I am a good cook.

He was eating, not picking around the food like he usually does. I kept sneaking a peak at him quietly as we ate in silence.

“The food is nice Thank you, “ he said wiping off his mouth with a paper towel.

Did he just say thank you? Did he just compliment me? Okay, what's wrong? What happened to the cold Ryan who promised to make this marriage a living hell for me?

Thank you “ I replied.

After we were done eating. The workers cleared up. I had insisted on doing it but Ryan reminded me that it was their job and they were being paid to do it. I just let it slide.

Now I know why Gina doesn't want me to stress cooking or doing any work when I feel like it. he had ordered it.

He cleared his throat when we were finally alone and I raised up my head to look at him.

You said you wanted to discuss something with me.

Yes but you go first “ I answered

Okay.… hmm about the incident I apologized for. I didn't have any right to accuse you considering this is an arranged marriage and I also wanted to let you know you can date another person while being married to me as we only just need to be married for a year.……, .… I know my family didn't tell your family

But my grandpa just needs me to be married for a year before I can claim back the companies he seized. That was the condition he gave for me to be married to you.

So you have every right to date who you like but it should be under wraps.

I stared at him trying to process the information he just told me……… wait we just needed to be married for a year? Why didn't anyone tell me? Why did the realization suddenly hurt? Am supposed to be happy and over the moon by now. But for an unexplainable reason, I didn't like the fact we just needed to be married for a year.

Jemiah are you okay” he called snapping me out of my trance.

Yeah, yeah. That's okay by me I replied.

So what did you want to talk about?

I want to work, am tired of sitting at home doing nothing. I would like to go back to working with my parents.” I said

I have discussed this with my parents over the phone. I even discussed it with Lia and Jessie the other time.

Okay, that's fine. Do as you wish……

Thank you “”” I said beaming with joy.

Is that all? He asked

Well, I wanted us to do IVF that was before you told me we just needed to be married for a year. I wanted kids and since we aren't intimate I figured Ivf would be the perfect solution.

I don't want kids “ he said coldly his whole demeanor changing.

If that's all I will be retiring to my room “ and with that he left.

What did I say that got him back to his usual self? And why doesn't he want kids?

One moment he is calm the next cold.
