Chapter 455: Not helpful

"I don’t think she would let me in so easily. I literally lied about getting drunk, and dragging her out of Noah’s place" Tristan muttered rubbing his temples.

Trevor could only shake his head at his son’s stupidity. But he couldn’t blame him even though he was the same when it came to having his wife’s attention all by himself.

When he sensed that Grace wasn’t paying much heed to him, he would too come up with any silly tricks but was barely caught. The spike one was the only exception for now.

"Then my son, you should shift your things in the study room because I don’t think you are ever going to sleep with your wife again" Patting his son’s shoulder Trevor got up and walked out of the study with the jar in his hand.

Trevor assured his son because of his own experiences and other than consoling him he couldn’t help him in any way.

Tristan watched his father leave with his mouth parted in disbelief. Instead of guiding him, he just asked him to accept defeat.

"Am I even his son? How can he just walk away like that?" Tristan muttered getting offended by his father’s words.

"There is no way he would be moving his stuff here in the study room. I need to find a way to get back to our room" Tristan mumbled and started racking his brain when suddenly an idea struck his mind and he quickly jumped down the couch and dashed out of the study room.

[Bedroom"

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Ashley kept cursing Tristan while she removed her earrings.

She couldn’t believe Tristan would act so childish just to get her out of Alice’s place.

’Huh!... When did I never pay attention to him’ she scoffed recalling how she had her eyes on him the entire time. They were having such a good time with their friends but this stupid man acted getting drunk.

Though she was doubtful whether he was drunk or not, but his action made her believe him.

’Ha... this man didn’t even let me have dinner with them’ she sneered getting up from the seat and was about to enter the bathroom when someone knocked on the door.

Looking in that direction the frown on her forehead deepened more.

"I know it’s him. Now he is trying ways to get in the room. But that’s never going to happen" Ashley had always softened her heart every time she threw Tristan out of the room or demote him on the couch.

But this time he crossed all the lines. If he wanted to spend time with her why he had to lie? She was so embarrassed that her adult husband was acting like a spoiled child.

’Who is ever going to believe he is a mafia leader’

Taking a moment she composed herself. She was not going to melt this time, she told herself before walking ahead and opening the door.

"Miss, young master ask me to bring your food," the maid said as soon as Ashley opened the door.

"..."

Staring at the maid in surprise, Ashley looked at the food tray. ’So he does remember we haven’t had our dinner’

"Hmm... keep it inside. I will have it in some time" she said and the maid entered the room. Placing the tray on the table she left.

Ashley closed the door after examining her surroundings but didn’t find any sign of Tristan anywhere and that somewhat left her confused.

She thought he would be hiding somewhere like a mouse eavesdropping her conversation with the maid. But to her surprise, she didn’t see him anywhere.

’That’s strange. I was expecting him to take this chance to barge into the room and act like a brat’

Turning around she walked to where the food tray rested and her eyes fell on the small note tucked under the plate.

Reaching her hand she pulled out the note and open to read it.

’I know you are hungry. So please eat something before going to bed- Tristan’

Ashley’s face twitched at the note and she quickly shoved it back under the plate.

"Why do you care now when you already dragged me empty stomach" Ashley didn’t want to soften her heart at Tristan’s thoughtful gesture, but then she remembered something and gaped.

"Even he didn’t eat anything. He must be hungry too" she recalled.

Staring at the food tray, Ashley then sighed before entering the bathroom.

*****

[ Study Room]

Tristan had been anxiously staring at the door waiting for Ashley, but even after thirty minutes, he didn’t see anyone coming.

"Did she read the note?" he asked himself, suddenly doubting whether she read the note he sent along with the food.

Tristan purposely asked the maid to bring the food to their room as he didn’t want to look pushy. Him being careful, he tried to sound regretful hoping his actions and the words inside the note would lessen her anger toward him and eventually, she would ask him to return to their room.

"But why isn’t anyone coming," he thought if not Ashley then at least a maid would pass on her message.

"Am I getting hopeful for no reason? What if she doesn’t come and what if I have to stay here as dad said" Tristan’s eyes widen in terror thinking about staying away from his wife.

"No!... this can’t be happening. She knows I can’t fall asleep with her in my arms"

Tristan was busy muttering to himself, trying to dodge his thoughts when someone knocked on the door soon opening it.

Tristan paused and shot his eyes in the direction of the door and found the same maid entering the study.

Not wanting to look weird in front of her, Tristan immediately composed himself and asked," Did you bring the food to Madame’s room" his eyes observed the maid keenly and watched her give him a nod.

"But-" the maid began making Tristan’s brows crease together.

"But what?" he asked sensing the nervousness in her tone. He wondered why the maid looked so afraid when he was never someone anyone got scared of.

’Do I look like a ghost or something’ he asked checking himself.

The way he had been sitting with the ragged look did make him appear like a drunkard. No doubt the maid seems to be nervous.

Ignoring all his thoughts he asked," Tell me"

"Madame refuses to eat the food and asked me to take it away" the maid answered lowering her head.

Though she knew Tristan was always the calm and composed one but the way he looked at her made her think otherwise.

She felt like he was being asked to donate his kidney or something. The terror on his face said everything.

Thud!..
