Rubbing his thumbs on her cheeks, he urged gently, âWhat did I just say about communication? Hmm?â
His voice was gentle, encouraging her to speak her mind.
Finally, Rosalynn confided, âValeria said that men tend to commit adultery because they couldnât stand not having sexual intercourse for too long.
I was just thinking⦠If one day you canât hold back your urges, would you cheat on me too?â
Brian was stunned, not expecting that to be what had been weighing in her mind.
Lifting Rosalynnâs chin gently, he gave her lips a light peck and said, âYouâre worried about that? You know I was behaved and didnât mess around with girls even before you came into my life.
â
That was true.
However, with her, he couldnât seem to keep his hands off when they were together.
Rosalynn looked at his handsome face and blinked, her heart skipping a beat.
âBesides, when did you start having so little confidence in yourself?â
Brian continued.
âDonât underestimate your charm, honey.
Youâve completely got me under your spell.
No one else can catch my eye.
Iâve only got my eyes on you, and only you.
â
The last he had accompanied his wife to the hospital for her prenatal checkup, Brian received specific advice from her obstetrician: Pregnant women were extra sensitive and emotional due to the hormonal changes in their bodies brought by the pregnancy, so as a husband, Brian must extend more patience in dealing with her wifeâs mood swings and make sure she was stress-free as much as possible.
Seeing how his once carefree and outgoing wife had become insecure and sensitive about something that wouldnât happen, Brian figured it was best to heed the doctorâs advice and be understanding and consoling, rather than castigating her for having suspicions.
The worry in Rosalynnâs heart gradually dissipated at his reassuring words.
However, something came to mind, and she was upset again.
Giving him a sidelong glance, she retorted, âYouâre such a sweet-talker.
Just because you didnât mess around with girls doesnât mean they didnât approach you to get your attention.
If you hadnât met me back then when you were set up, you would have slept with another woman, wouldnât you?â
Brian was amused by her speculation.
The only mistake he ever made was now being held against him!
âShould I just have this buddy removed so you wouldnât worry about infidelity?â Grabbing her hand, Brian tried to put it in between his legs.
Rosalynn immediately withdrew her hand and gave him playful slap on the shoulder.
Brian chuckled, catching her hand and kissing it.
âDonât overthink, okay? I promise nothing like that will ever happen,â he said.
Leaning onto him and having a whiff of his familiar scent, Rosalynn felt at peace.
She knew some things were beyond his control.
As long as he stayed sensible, that was enough.
However, remembering something, she asked, âBy the way, when I called earlier, why did your female staff name Betsy the one who answered?â
She hadnât felt like asking about it earlier because she wasnât in a good mood.
Now that they had cleared things up, she wanted to know the reason and see the situation as it was.
