Finally, he finished the kiss between them and released her lips. Her lips were completely red and swollen. Anyone looking at her could tell what had happened between them.

She was still trembling from the effect of his kiss and was taking a deep breath trying to normalize her self-function. Both her legs became like jelly. If Alex hadn't grabbed her by the waist, she would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing her condition, Alex put his hand on her head and pulled her close to his warm c.h.e.s.t. He started rubbing his hands on her back to make her relax.

Sometime later when he realized that she was breathing normally, he separated her from him a little. He asked her, holding her face in his hands. "Are you alright?"

Both her hands were still on his c.h.e.s.t. She removed both hands from his c.h.e.s.t and placed them on the back of his hand.

"I'm fine..." She mumbled softly but the Storm in her body still hadn't calmed down. The eruption was still going on in her body.

"So can we go down now?"

" Hmm." She nodded her head. The two left the room after he whipped her wet lips with his thumb and kissed her head one last time.

When they both entered the dining hall, everyone's eyes turned to them. Everyone's eyes stopped on Avery's delicate lips. Seeing her swollen lips, it didn't take them long to guess what had happened between the two of them.

There was a beautiful smile on everyone's face. Everyone wanted to tease Avery but they never wanted to disturb the quiet state of the beast who was standing next to her.

After stepping very close to the dining table, Alex pulled the seat for Avery and seated her on it. He also settled next to her. After giving her a plate he also filled his plate with food.

When Alex was busy filling the plate, all the family members were amazed to see him. Ever since they all found out about his marriage, the first time they saw Avery in their mansion, they've seen changes in Alex that they never even dreamed of. And that was all for Avery only. For the other person, he was still a cold-blooded monster.

After that, he also left with Avery.

.....

He had a lot of work on his hand because it was Monday, but he decided to stay home after what had happened yesterday. He knew that Avery had not yet recovered from yesterday's incident and that she needed him.

...

It was a Tuesday and their car was heading towards the university. They were both sitting in the back seat. Alex was busy typing something on the laptop and Avery was busy looking out the window.

She had never complained about Alex's work before. She knew work was very important for Alex. And there was no reason for her to complain because she had seen drastic changes in Alex since the time Clara's truth came out. He always valued her more than his work, and he still does. But because of her pregnancy hormones, she sometimes felt that he was paying less attention to her.

Moving her eyes from the window she looked at him.

She narrowed her eyes, "Alex." She called his name.

"Hmm." He was still busy with his work. He responded to her without looking at her.

"Can't stop your work until we arrive."

"Huu..." His finger stopped and he looked at her, rolling his eyes from the screen. "What?"

"I said can't you stop your work."

Alex just stared at her with wide eyes. It was very rare for him that Avery was talking to him in a bitter tone. "What happened?"

"You're asking me what happened." This time she shouted. Because of her yell, his chauffer also flinched a bit.

"You're asking me what happened." She pointed her finger at him. "Can't you just stay in the car without work? I don't think you care about me. I don't think you care about your baby either. You just want your work. I can't believe I married such a person....."

Everything she said was saying was unreasonable. Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at her wondering what happened to Avery all of a sudden. He turned off the laptop, pulled out his rimless spectacle, and set it aside.

He took a deep breath, ran his hand through her hair, and locked his gaze on her. She was still talking nonsense that made him completely irritated. Closing his eyes, he decided to do what he did not want to do now.

"Alex how can you..." Just before Avery was about to finish her sentence, Alex grabbed her right arm and pulled her towards him. He momentarily placed her on his l.a.p and sealed her complaining lips with his lips.

He pressed the button on his side and the partition was pulled up. After kissing her for a long two minutes, he separated her a little from himself. She was now silently looking at him.

"What happened?" He asked rubbing her cheek. "What happened wifey', why are you acting like that"

"I don't know. Since morning I am feeling like something is going to happen." She paused, "something bad, I'm feeling very restless."

Yes. This was true. Her heart had been restless since morning. She did not know how to calm her heart. She thought something was going to happen. But she couldn't point out exactly what.

"Nothing is going to happen. You are thinking too much. And don't forget that I'm with you."

He reassured her and hugged her close to his heart. He kissed her on the head. "Nothing will happen Love. I am with you." He breathed and looked out the window. 'I hope nothing will happen.' He thought and closed his eyes.

.....

Since it was a lunch break so almost all the students were sitting in the canteen.

Avery, David and Emily were sitting at the corner table, waiting for Raina. Emily had already taken a meal for Raina. In front of Avery was her lunch box. Because of her sickness, Alex banned her from eating out, and he personally asked Mrs Kim to give the lunchbox to Avery every day. She had also decided to resume work from today so he had also arranged for her evening snacks. Evening stacks were also going to be taken from home for her.

The three of them were tired of waiting for Raina. David took his cell phone out of his pocket and Raina reached there just as he was about to dial her number.

"Where were you? I was going to call you now." David asked her. But seeing her nervous face, he fell into question. The uneasiness on her face was not hidden from Avery and Emily either.

"What happened to Raina. You look pale." Emily asked. But without answering Emily's question, Raina turned to Avery. "Every last su....." Suddenly she stopped and sat down on the chair.

"Last what Raina?" Avery asked her.

"Oh, nothing. I was saying will you give me the sari you wore last time at the fresher's party." She changed the topic very sharply but it was noticed by Emily. But she decided to keep quiet.

"That's all. What is the need to be so hesitant to ask? I'll bring it with me tomorrow."

Quickly they all had their lunch and left for class on the bell. Seeing that Avery was busy talking to David, Emily turned her legs and hurried to Raina's classroom.

She went to Raina's class and brought Raina out before the professor came to class. "Raina tell me what you were going to say." At Emily's question, Raina pulled out her mobile and showed it to her. Emily gasped as she read what was on the mobile screen.

"I was late because of this. I was going to discuss this with Avery. But David was also there and she was going to have a meal so I didn't say anything."

Even Emily didn't understand what to do. But since the subject was s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, it was necessary to discuss it with Avery. She returned Raina's mobile and went to her class. When she went to class, the lecturer was already in the class, so she could not call Avery out. She herself went to class and waited for the lecture to end.

As soon as the lecture was over, she asked Avery to accompany her. She took Avery to the far end of the corridor so that no one would listen to their conversation.

She pulled out her mobile. Typed something on it.

Waited a while and the screen showed her. Avery's eyes widened as she took the mobile in her hand. How is this possible? She needed to talk to Alex about this.?She quickly returned Emily's cell phone and went to Alex's office.
