When Love Breaks (Josephine)

"It hurts so much."

Zayn leaned against the sofa while clutching his arm, hissing in pain.

Josephine didn't know what to do. "Why don't I get you some ice to put over it?"

"Do you think I can put ice over the cast?"

"What should we do?" Josephine frowned. "Why don't we go to the hospital? What if the bone has fractured again?"

Zayn sneered. "Isn't that what you want? After all, all you think about is how to murder your husband."

Josephine was speechless.

Now that his arm was hurting, he was certainly in a bad mood. He was just venting his anger at her.

She decided it was best if she kept quiet to avoid angering him further.

After a moment, he muttered, "I only had a piece of bread in the morning. I planned to have lunch elsewhere, but when I saw the news you posted, it pissed me off so much that I lost my appetite.

"I looked for Nadine right away and questioned her. Once I got your address, I came looking for you.

"What time is it? I haven't even eaten anything-"

Josephine interrupted his mumbling. "What do you want to eat? I'll ask Gloria to cook for you."

"I don't want to eat someone else's cooking. Why don't you cook for me? I want to eat your signature bacon and pancakes."

Was he actually asking her to cook? The audacity.

However, seeing how pale he was, Josephine recalled how she hadn't visited him

at the hospital. In the end, she walked into the kitchen.

The truth was that she didn't enjoy cooking. She only knew how to make a few dishes.

In the past, when things were great between them, she wanted to cook for the man she loved.

So, she learned a few dishes from a chef.

Out of all of them, Zayn liked the bacon and pancakes the most. It wasn't because they were delicious, but because everything else she cooked was disastrous.

With Gloria's help, she was able to prepare the food quickly.

Since she hadn't eaten either, she called Zayn over to the dining table to have a seat. Then, they both started eating together.

After taking a few bites, Zayn lifted his head and looked at her. "How long has it been since we'd last eaten together like this?"

Josephine didn't even look at him. "It's been more than six months. Ever since you-"

"Bullshit! Last month, I took you to the restaurant with the ocean view. I even ordered the chef to prepare a special menu."

He picked a piece of pineapple from his plate and held it up by her mouth. When she dodged, he

When she finally took a bite reluctantly, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued eating.

Seeing him smile, Josephine couldn't help but frown. "So, are you no longer mad that I exposed you and Nadine online?"

"Who said I was mad about that?"

Zayn glared at her.

"Did I not make myself clear? I was mad that you were stupid enough to use the worst possible met

revenge. Also, do you know how much trouble you've caused?

"Forget it. You're my wife, after all. Even if you cause trouble, I'll just have to clean up after you."

Even though he looked upset, the fact that he didn't blame her after causing him so much trouble made her feel happy inside.

More importantly, after hurting him consecutively, he still protected her. This showed that his feelings for her weren't entirely fake.

After being cheated on, what she needed the most wasn't an apology, but a confirmation that their relationship had meant something.

That was because if the relationship meant nothing, the effort and resolution she had put into the marriage would become a complete joke.

She would end up becoming the biggest clown.

And that would hurt her the most.

"Last night, what were you doing with Ethan?"

She was about to let go of the frustration she had with him so that she could face him peacefully.

blood pressure through the roof.
