Married By Mistake
Chapter 39

LUNA

I g*****d when I heard a series of knocks. I slowly lifted Dylan’s arm that was around my waist and stood up. I caressed my stomach as I walked towards the door.

“Camille?”

She smiled at me. “Get up dinner is ready.”

“D-Dinner already?”

“Yes. It’s already six o’clock. And Trey will also eat here.” Her eyebrows went up and down before turning around and leaving.

I yawned and headed to my husband who still asleep. still wrapped itself in the blanket. I touched the cloth inside his dress and removed it knowing it was wet with sweat.

“Dylan.” I shake his shoulder.

“Hm?”

“Wake up, we’re going to eat.” His forehead was no longer warm. “Your fever has gone down. You’re about to get well.”

He grabbed my hand that was on his neck. “Because you’re here. Baby and you are here.”

I smiled at his answer. He stood up, I would have helped but he stopped me and said he could.

We headed to the table where Camille was. I immediately heard trey’s loud voice happily talking about his practice this morning.

I sneezed and we got their attention. I didn’t see the shock on Dad’s face. Instead, his eyes dropped to Dylan and I’s clasped hands. Draw a little smile on his lips.

“What’s that. Our flight is later and this idiot’s face is the last I’ll see.” Kris’s rude word.

I frowned at what he said. Dylan and I sat first, across from my cousins.

“Cut it out, Kris. My wife is sick so stop her.”

“Wife. Tsk.” He mocked.

“Where’s Sky?” Sky and I are all, okay so there’s nothing wrong with me looking for him, right?

“Leave first. Excited to go inside Almira’s skirt.” Trey said as he sliced the porkchop on his plate.

“Who’s Almira?” Dylan asked as he looked at the rice I was putting on his plate.

Trey smiled. “A Californian girl that Sky is just crazy about.”

Dylan shrugged his shoulders. “Good for him. I’m happy for him.”

“Plastic.” Said, Kristian.

“Orocan.” Camille’s tone was rude.

Trey ‘tsked. “Your testicles are small.”

I push down the serving spoon. “Hey, that’s not just true! It’s a lie!”

What?

What did I just say?

F**k! The earth would have eaten me.

I blushed even more in embarrassment when they laughed out loud. I bowed.

Dylan’s hand caressed my back. “It’s okay, Baby. Don’t cry.”

“They’re laughing,” I said between my sobs.

“I’m not.” I looked at him when he made the ‘pfft’ sound. His cheeks are also red due to restraint.

“You’re just trying not to laugh.”

“N-Not really.”

“All of you,” I said softly and walked out of the lanai.

“Veronica Luna, you’re not done eating yet!” I didn’t stop walking even when I heard Dad scream.

I sat downstairs and mumbled there.

Why do I have to defend his testicles ?! Shit! After all, of all the things they insulted, my husband’s testicles were the ones they chose!

“Let’s go in, it’s late. The wind is bad at night.” I was no longer surprised to hear my husband’s voice.

“You’re the one who came in first. You’re the one with the weak lungs, eh.” I said coldly while not looking back at it.

He pulled up the chair and sat down in front of me. I looked elsewhere except for Dylan’s face.

“I’m weak because I haven’t been with you for months.” I was so bitten on my l*p when he took my hand and passed it to his l*p. “When will you come back to me, Luna? I missed you so much.”

I looked into his pleading eyes. He put my hand on his cheek and I felt a little warmth of it. How I missed his warmth.

“I’ll be with you when you come home tomorrow, Dylan.”

He was startled but soon recovered as well. Draw his very sweet smile.

“I just need to get sick so you can come back to me.”

“I don’t want to give you a reason to look for someone else so I’ll be back,” I said jokingly.

“Why would I look for someone else? I’m satisfied with you, Luna.” He said. I felt the love in his voice. “We’re going to have a baby, I’ve tied myself to you. I love you. I love you so much. Don’t doubt my love for you.”

“I’m sorry I doubted you. I love you, too.” I would have kissed him but he avoided it. He was still sick and he didn’t want to infect me. “I’m sorry for making you wait and torturing you for so long.”

He gaped my fingers. “You’re all worth it, Luna. So worth it.”

The night was getting cold so we decided to go inside. They were still at the table Trey and drinking tea while waiting for us.

“Are you done, crybaby?” Trey said.

“Shut up.”

“Trey, enough. Your cousin’s pregnancy is difficult.” Dad said before sipping his tea.

“Thanks, Papa.” I have an ally again!

Dad laughed a little as the cup was lowered. “Then maybe Dylan’s testicles got cold so they went inside.”

I blushed again. I thought it was over!

I squeezed Dylan’s chest. “They’re not done bullying me yet.”

“‘Don’t worry, I’m on your side, Luna.” He looked up at my face and wiped away the small tear.

“Looks like you’re all right, ah,” Dad said softly. We looked at him. “Are you going home to Dylan, Luna?”

“Yes.”

“By the way, Tito. Maybe Luna feels sorry for her husband’s testicles. You saw how he defended himself before, didn’t you?” F**k you, Trey!

“You’re stupid, Trey.” That’s Kristian’s voice.

“Why did you hit me?”

“That’s right. You stressed Luna. When their lives are in danger again, you’ll be charmed by me.”

“Fine, Mister Possessive-cousin-in-a-rotten-armor. Pwe.”

“Your breath stinks. That’s why Elaine avoids you, eh.”

I frowned when I heard what Kristian said. I sat first in pity and waited for my heated dish with the maid.

“Who’s Elaine?” I ask.

“My Executive Assistant.” I looked at my wife. The wrinkle on my forehead did not go away.

“A short flat-chested woman.” I raised an eyebrow at the annoyance in Trey’s voice.

“Someone busted him.” Christian’s g***n.

“Tell that sectarian of yours, Dylan. Not fond of handsome.” Oh, Trey, lift your bench well.

“The best fish are found in the deepest part of the sea. So you, Trey, go deeper into the dive.”

“That’s very metaphorical, Papa.” Smilingly my brother said.

“If that woman doesn’t like me, then I don’t like her either. She will go after me too.”

Camille ‘tsked. “Playboy’s principle sucks.”

“Yeah, right.” I agreed.

“Grow your testicles first, you idiot!”

My ears tingled again at what Kris said. “He has testicles, I saw it!”
