Married to my nemesis-Chapter 167: Scream out ur pain

Vixen slowly dug into his food as he watched Abi eat the food with etiquette.

"So, how was high school for you? And also college?" He stated after making sure to eat the food in his mouth.

Abi raised her head to him with an arched eyebrow.

She raisedd her hand to cover her mouth as she spoke to him.

"Actually—" she paused.

"You know what, I’m beginning to wonder why you’re so curious about my past life."

"Is nothing, is just that, I’m worried, you’re sacrificing everything for my son so I just want to know you more so I would know that I’m not making a mistake by making you take care of Arthur."

"I know right? You could have thought about a thousand things to give as my job just to repay the fact that I’m collecting a large amount from you, " she said with a chuckle.

" Besides, I’ve been curious to know something, " she added as she took another spoon.

" What’s that? "

She ate on her food till it was clear and then she gave Vixen a straight face.

" When you decided to make me Arthur’s mother? What made you choose that decision? "

As much as that question triggered Vixen the most, he nearly choke on his food if not because Abi was quick to hand over the cup that was near.

" Sorry, " she said with concern on her expression.

Watching Vixen as he slowly ate on the food after gulping water to lubricate the peppered throat of his.

"Are you okay?" She questioned after a while as he nodded.

"Yeah, I’m okay?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Abi had a frown on her face suspicious of his recent action.

"Is that question a problem for you? You could tell me if you’re not willing to answer the question," she said in a calm tone as Vixen heaved a deep breath and then he got ready to answer the question.

He knew what he was going to say was going to alternate the real answer, probably be the best that completes the answer even if it was a lie.

"When I saw you from the first time, I thought there was nothing else that could make you back out other than something that had to do with what your age can’t handle."

"And you thought that had to do with your son?"

"Hmm," he said as he nodded.

Abi couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because is so funny, why did you possibly think that I was going to object that option? "

" Well have said that, and also, if I told you that then you would have to consider your social life with your mates. If your mates discovered that you were living with a man then it would feel disgraceful for you only further when they discover you’re also living with a man that has a son. So in that way, I get to keep my money also. "

" Oh yeah, I think you’re right about that one, " she said as she used her folk to agree with him.

"But also, come to think of it, I really didn’t think about objecting the matter when I discovered that you wanted me to take care of your son. Arthur is such a cute child and from the first time, I don’t think that he was willing to object me at all. Arthur was just a cute child, for a moment when I gazed at him, I had the feeling like he was my cute son, my baby boy—" she said as he sight unfocused from Vixen’s gaze.

"He was just someone who needed someone near to him, and someone who could protect him from all his troubles."

"Didn’t you think his father could do that job? "

Abi simply chuckled.

" Oh my God, you really want to take a challenge. But to be truthful, if I was going to say who was the one I’ll rather object to be with was you, you know right? We two couldn’t stay in a place without arguing, you know what, when you told me that you’re willing to be my genie, I couldn’t believe that. You said you wanted to be near someone who our fight was somehow tough, besides, at this moment. I can’t believe that we’re normally talking with one another without me trying to convince you or something or me trying to learn how I’m going to deal with you because truth be told, you’ll a lot to handle. "

" Are you trying to say that I’m a piece of work? "

" Yes, I think that’s exactly what I’m saying, you’re not easy to convince— AT ALL!" she said as she laughed as Vixen joined since he couldn’t deny the fact, he himself knew that he was trying to send Abi away on purpose.

" But to be fair — something that I’ve noticed about you to be fair is that you’re not just kind of person because you want to. If I’m not wrong, i feel like you’re soneone who wants to push the people away from yourself because you’re scared, you’re scared to experience something that has made you feel pain, " she spoke in a calm tone as Vixen stopped himself from eating just to see her gaze was on him, when his eyes stared into him, her lips gently spatted those words and then, he held unto his spoon when he was about to take another bite.

He couldn’t believe himself as he stared into her.

His heart was pondering.

"Everytime, you make a fuse or something, I don’t know why, it occurs to me that you’re suffering from something within, there’s something within you that makes you feel pain over and over to the fact that it makes you feel so uneasy to make you express your true self. I feel like you have something that holding you back, and when i try to search what’s really happening within you— I can only hope that one day the real matter exposes, what’s keeping you bond within and suffocating you all alone, what’s troubling you that doesn’t make any other person discover who you are. I know you’re trying to fake a personality that isn’t you, you’re saddened by something and everytime I speak of it, I know that you don’t want to hear those words because you want to suffer frim everything all by yourself, and even if you’re suffering alone, " she had a small smile.

" You could just go to a church and tell a pastor or a father, " she jested as she dug into her food, just as she said those words, Vixen also laughed but he couldn’t take a bite from his food since he was touches by her words.

It was true, he was suffering alone after what had happened.

"What makes you think that I’m actually suffering from something inwardly?" He questioned his entire being beating so fastly just as he anticipated her answer.

"Would it feel like a fantasy if I tell you that evrytime your eyes reflect towards me, is like there’s this misery or something you’re trying to hide and something that wouldn’t make you break free from this thing —"

" Have you felt it for any body? "

Abi stared at him, unable to speak since she had no reply to his word.

She couldn’t tell him the truth, it would feel like a lie if she told him.

" You’re really taking it seriously —" she said as she chuckled trying to divert the topic.

" No, that’s not what I’m trying to do, I just want to be sure, is it me that you’re feeling this for? Or you’ve felt it for someone else. "

" Vixen, I’m joking that’s all, " she tried her best to keep it cool hoping that this was not going to turn to some fight.

Vixen heaved a deep breath since he saw that his words were bricking her inwardly.

" The truth is, when Arthur was young, I’ve always had the pressure of taking care of him all alone, you said that I’ve been suffering alone and I wanted to be sure because i really feel defeated inwardly, it’s taken me a slight chance not to commit suicide, I can’t always help myself but think about Arthur after every chance I’ve made but still with the fact, it’s hurting me within, " just as he said those words in a faint stare, he felt a touch on his hand just to raise his head, it was from Abi, she actually felt pity for him.

" You’re not the only one who feels sorrow, and to be fear, everyone feels it one way or the other, but the chance you can take is just release those sorrows, and you know what, I have an idea on how you can take care of the sorrow, I promise you, is going to take care of everything that’s making you feel so lost. "

Vixen had a frown on his face.

" What solution do you have? " just as she heard him say those words, she immediately ate the last bite of her food to pack the remaining to the car.

Just as she stood up about heading towards car, Vixen looked at her with a frown.

" Common, let’s go, " she said excited as she rushed towards the car.

" But—" Vixen was about to say something when he discovered that she was out of sight.

He sighed as he stood up carrying the plate of the left over food and then he followed her to the car but before he entered the car, he took out his phone and then replied the doctor.
