Mr. Billionaire's Second Chance Bride

"We will get going now," without hesitation, Kendrick pulled Zephyrine up.

The old man raised the corner of his brow and smiled at Kendrick. Kendrick understood what that meant but he ignored it. Sometimes he wondered if his father was growing old or if he was becoming like a child again. Some of his attitudes show that he is growing old, but some show that he is still a child.

"We will officially welcome you to the family once you've overcome." Mr. Desjardins said before Zephyrine and Kendrick completely vanished from the house.

With what Mr. Desjardins had been saying it seemed like he was cooking something under. But would he be part of those who will trick Zephyrine?

Kendrick and Zephyrine arrived at Kendrick's house. The first step was taken with different emotions taking over her mind. She was taking a step away from her horrible life but she doesn't know what lies ahead of her.

What if it turns out to be more horrible than being with Nathaniel. Nathaniel's family was not influential like the Desjardins family, and the members in it are not much like the Desjardins family. She would be occupied with work and she might not have time to take care of her family. Most especially, her purpose for coming back to life. Revenge must be served.

Kendrick realized that Zephyrine was absent-minded. He shook her lightly, "Hey wifey. Welcome home...and welcome to being Kendrick's wife," Kendrick whispered the last part of the sentence into her ears sending shivers down her spine.

The air on Zephyrine's body rose and her eyes connected with his that was a few inches away from hers. She fell deep into his beautiful eyeball. What to do? Zephyrine was attracted to his lips at once, his lips were cute unlike Nathaniel's.

Zephyrine felt her body pulled into a body, before she could realize it she was being held by Kendrick and their faces were barely away from each other.

Is this what marital life is?

With each passing moment, Zephyrine's imagination ran wild and Kendrick's face kept moving close to her. But when their lips were about to touch, Kendrick moved away and broke the connection between them.

Zephyrine remained in a trance for a few minutes, when she finally realized her face reddened entirely. She turned around so that Kendrick wouldn't realize. But Kendrick saw the disappointment in her eyes.

Zephyrine started walking in the pretense that she was admiring the house. Kendrick smiled lightly and discreetly. He would have teased her but he didn't want her to be ashamed of himself.

Kendrick saw her going to random places so he followed her. Zephyrine walked into the kitchen and then stopped. All the utensils were cleaned and arranged neatly like it hasn't been touched or used before.

She then saw that Kendrick was already in the kitchen as well. She bit her lip and thought 'Are you really interested in something like this? Why did your thought run so wild, it wasn't even time for it yet. She sighed.

Kendrick walked closer but Zephyrine moved a little bit backward. Kendrickknew what was on her mind, she was just avoiding the situation that happened minutes ago.

"Are you disappointed?" He asked bluntly hoping that would help ease the tension between them but it didn't. It made the situation worse.

Zephyrine felt like strangling him right at that point. Why does he lack romantic skills? Has he been lonely all his life? Zephyrine thought.

She cleared her throat and feigned Innocence, "Why should I be disappointed? I think you are. I saw the look in your eyes and that's why you were trying your luck again."

With that, Zephyrine walked past him leaving the stunned Kendrick alone in the kitchen. Kendrick was amazed at how she was able to manipulate the story without skipping. He must admit that she was very talented.

Kendrick showed Zephyrine their room after.

Zephyrine ran to the bed and jumped on it. She shouted excitedly, "I am taking the bed, I said it first." Kendrick's face beamed with happiness. She knew that in most situations like theirs, they don't sleep together.

But to her disappointment, Kendrick had something else in mind. "Why would we sleep separately? We are married…or are you afraid something might happen?"

"Why do you keep going back to that topic? Are you teasing me?!" Zephyrine yelled when the realization hit her. "Like seriously?" Without thinking much, she jumped at him. That caught Kendrick by surprise. He never expected her to have that side.

Zephyrine was now in Kendrick's arms trying to fight him. But Kendrick didn't feel like anything was going on. He carried her in a bridal style and made her feel more comfortable. Zephyrine realized that she didn't have any impact on him so she stopped. But when she wanted to get back on her feet, Kendrick didn't let go of her. Why?

He walked to the bed and laid her gently on the bed.

"I will cook something for us," he was about to get going but Zephyrine pulled his arm.

"Are you going to leave me?"

Kendrick felt like the question was off. He frowned trying to reason what she said, but upon not finding any meaning to it. He shook his head as if nothing happened. They just got married so why would he leave her without getting what he wants?

"Let's go together," Zephyrine wants to know a little about the man. Since he claimed that he knew her, she should start getting to know who she would be living with from now on. His friends, his status, his likes and dislikes. Those are common things to know to avoid unnecessary arguments.

They went to the kitchen together and Zephyrine watched as the man cooked. She didn't know what Kendrick wanted to cook, she was just watching him do his thing quietly. He looked more handsome in that apron around his neck. Zephyrine started drooling, she must admit that she is very lucky to have a husband like him without having to put in much effort. She knew that she could use him to exact her revenge on Nathaniel and her little sister.

When the food was almost done, a phone call came in and it was from Zephyrine's grandfather. She picked it up at once.

"Hello, grandfather."

Grandpa Cloutier didn't waste time asking about how she was. He knew that she had just gotten married and she would need to spend some quality time with her husband.

"Sorry for disrupting your special moment with your husband, but I need you to come to the company tomorrow."

"Really? I will be there…." Before she could continue speaking, the call got cut off. Zephyrine was quite speechless. She didn't know if her grandfather was doing it intentionally or what.

"What's wrong?"

"Grandfather is going to announce me as the president of the company tomorrow. So he asked me to be there." Zephyrine replied with a shrugged shoulder.

"Do you need your husband to be there?" He asked without lifting his head and he was reading her expression carefully. Zephyrine was like an open book for him. It got him wondering if she had always been so easy to read to everyone.

"Sure," Zephyrine replied as if it had no influence on her but it did.

Is Zephyrine falling for him so soon? And will their relationship flow exactly like the chemistry between them now?
