Chapter 68 I Don’t Have Any Cousins
After the wedding, Xavier and his beautiful wife, Valencia, packed their suitcases and went to their honeymoon. Mr Martins had gifted Xavier with the new villa at His Goodness Resort and he arranged for Chef Ambrose to take care of them. The villa was lavishly designed in a contemporary style.
When Valencia saw their villa was over the moon. She walked to the fully equipped kitchen, and then she opened the fridge. She was surprised to see that it was fully packed. She looked at her husband smiling and asked, “Honey, who is going to cook?” Valencia didn’t know how to cook. Her parents had pampered her since she was a child.
Xavier smiled and replied, “Sweetheart, my Dad’s best friend, Uncle Martins had arranged for Chef Ambrose to cook for us. Do you want to eat something?” Valencia shook her head; she was so excited that she wasn’t hungry. However, Chef Ambrose had prepared some snacks for the newlyweds.
The sweeping staircase was enticing them to venture up to the first floor. There were three luxurious bedrooms. The master bedroom was elegantly and immaculately furnished, with a sumptuous king-sized bed featuring huge walk-in closets with a floor-to-ceiling mirror wall. Valencia was so happy, she took her husband’s hand, and then they walked to their private balcony. The view was stunning. It was facing the ocean.
When Xavier saw his lovely so happy, he took her in his arms and kissed her gentle and said, “I love you, my beautiful wife. Sweetheart, I want our marriage to be built on trust and honesty. Please promise me that there will be no lies between us.”
Valencia was taken aback. She started panicking but she quickly calmed herself down and replied, “I love you more, my Xavier. I promise that I will never hide anything from you.” Her husband was so happy to hear that he picked her up and walked to the master bedroom. He kissed her gentle for a long time and said with a hoarse voice, “I am going to take a shower.”
Then he walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then he filled the bathtub with water. A few minutes later, he walked to their bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His body was stunning, but Valencia didn’t notice that.
She was lost in thought, the promise she made to her husband left her shaken because she had hidden something from her husband. She didn’t want to think about the consequences when her husband found the truth, because her husband hated deception the most. She was praying silently for the Moore family.
Xavier walked to his wife and said, “Sweetheart, what is wrong?” Valencia came to her senses and smiled, “Nothing, my love. I was thinking about my Mom. I hope she will find a cure for her illness.” Her eyes were brimming with tears; Xavier held her in his arms and replied, “Mom will be alright. At the wedding, I saw that her face was not pale anymore. I think the medication she is using is working.”
Valencia nodded her head and said, “My mother’s attending doctor changed her medication, and she is getting better, and her weight is coming back.” Xavier looked at his wife and said, “I am so happy for the Moore family. Please go and take a bath.” Valencia took her toiletries and walked to the bathroom.
While Valencia was bathing, Xavier dressed up quickly, and then he walked to the balcony. He called his father and said, “Dad, we arrived safely, and the villa is amazing. Please thank Uncle Martins for me.”
Mr Taylor smiled and replied, “I am glad, Son. Your grandfather asked me to tell you that you don’t have to stay in the family mansion with your wife. You can go straight to your mansion when you come back from your honeymoon.”
Xavier was so shocked to hear that, but he understood where his grandfather was coming from and replied, “Daddy, is there any news from the private investigator?” Grandpa Taylor had sent his private investigator, Eddie Stuart, to England to investigate Mrs Moore’s illness but he came back empty handed.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Eddie Stuart had visited a lot of Oncologists but none of them had Mrs Moore as a patient. Yesterday, he hacked into the airlines’ website, and then he found out that the Moore family went to the United States of America, not England. Mr Taylor replied, “Son, the Moore family lied about their trip to England. They visited the United States of America. Please ask your wife the name of her cousin who got married.”
What was the Moore family hiding from the Taylor family? His grandfather didn’t even want to attend the wedding, but he didn’t want to disappoint his precious grandson. Xavier thanked his father, and then they hung up.
In the bathroom, Valencia was so scared she started having periods. She didn’t even bring any sanitary pads with her because she was on her period last week. She called her husband and said, “Xavier, please buy sanitary pads for me.” She told him the brand and the size. Xavier changed his clothes; he took his car keys and went to the mall.
A few minutes later, he came back and went to the bathroom. He knocked on the door, and then he gave his wife the paper bag. He didn’t know if his wife had period pains, but he went to the kitchen to prepare brown sugar water for his wife. He was glad that his mother had taught him how to prepare it.
When he returned to their bedroom, his wife was in so much pain. Xavier gave her the brown sugar water, then he sat next to her to massage her abdomen. “Is it painful, my love?” Valencia nodded her head and replied, “Thank you, my husband.” She drank the brown sugar water, then she lay down. Xavier hugged her tightly.
He kissed her gentle and said, “When my mother-in-law is much better, we must visit your cousin in England.” Valencia frowned and replied, “What are you talking about, my love? I don’t have any relatives in England. Also, my mother is the only child. I don’t have any cousins.” Xavier was so shocked and replied, “But….”
