7 7: Changes

Lucas's POV

It's been a month since Luna woke up after being in a coma for a year, but a lot has changed since then. Even now I still can't believe that my wife right now is the vicious wife I had before. She seemed totally different. Even the way she moved is different. It feels like she is not Luna at all

"Daddy, mommy cooked something for us. Would you like to join us for a dinner?" Lewis said with a bright smile.

"I got it. Tell your mom I'll join you." I answered and tidied the files in my desk.

I went down and smelled the delicious smell of food coming from the kitchen so I went to check it out.

"Mrs.Ashford, Please let us do it." The maid said trying to convince Luna

"It's alright! I can do this myself. Besides it's been a while since I cooked for my son." She just said with a smile.

I never saw her smiling like that before, was I too ignorant back then?

"Mrs.Ashford please let us do it. If Mr.Ashford sees you cooking we're afraid that--" They cannot continue their words because Luna spoke.

"heyyy, What is there to be afraid of? Am I not someone you should be afraid of?" She said with a kind voice.

I walked towards her and stopped behind her. I used my hand and signed the helpers to leave the kitchen and they did as I said..

She suddenly turned around and got startled that cause her to lose her balance.

She almost fell to her boiling hot food luckily I caught her.

but.. I felt something very hot so I hurried and lift her and took my hand away

"I'm so sorry" She repeated 3 times

"It's alright. Let's go and eat." I just plainly said and turned around because I cannot stand the burn in my hand.

"Wait." She shouted and held my hand which has a burn in it.

I almost shouted from the pain luckily I stopped myself.

"I'm so sorry." She repeated 3 times again while bowing

"What?" I asked emotionlessly

"Your hand."She said and lifted the hand with burn in it.

She held my hand turned off the stove and head to the sink.

She slowly washed my hands in the running water and she compressed a wet cool towel to the burned part.

I never remember her being this kind. Was I that ignorant?

"How did you know this?" I asked halfheartedly

"Oh, You mean this remedy?" She asked still focused on my burn

"hmm." I said.

"I was cooking before, And I accidentally burned myself. There was no one here to get help so I just searched on the internet for it and luckily it works." She said with a smile still carefully patting my burn

"Huh? I thought you did not know how to cook?" I asked a doubt is being made.

"Well there are things I should learn alone. I tried to learn to cook alone, Afterall I cannot be married to someone without learning the basics ^-^ That would make me a useless wife ^-^" She said with a bright smile

I can't help but look away.

I helped Luna to bring food to the dining room. Lewis is already waiting excitedly to the table as soon as the food was served he looked more excited.

"Be careful, the food is hot. Do not get burned."Luna said and assisted Lewis for his food.

I've never seen Luna being so caring towards Lewis. She never cared about our son which made me hate her. Why did she suddenly changed? Is there and ulterior motive behind it?

"Daddy, Why aren't you eating?" Lewis asked with food all over his face.

"I'm going to eat. Mind your manners and don't let your mom's food go to waste." I said and started eating.

After dinner I went back to my office and started working again.

after a while I heard a knock to the door so I asked that person to come in.

I did not expect it to be Luna. She is holding a cup of tea.

"What is it?" I asked her trying to indirectly ask her about her motives.

"A cup of tea. I guess you have a lot of works to do so I thought it would help to bring you a cup of tea." She said and sat on the sofa

I just said nothing and let her take a look around

"Hey, Are you really inlove with me before we got married?" She asked me, her head is a bit tilted while waiting for my answer.

I panicked and blanked out. Have I ever been inlove with her?

But, all I know about her is she is vicious mother who hated her child. How can I love her?

"You don't have to answer that if you do not know." She said and got up. I just stared at her dumfoundedly

"Alright! It looks like you have a lot of work to do. I am going to bed now. Go on and finish your work." She said and left the door shut.

I am now left with the question, Have I ever loved her? My mother and the people I sent to watch her told me that she is nothing but a vicious woman.

She did not care for the people beside her, She did not care about her family ever since we married. She have never contacted her parents again. Even the maids I sent to watch on her told me she was vicious to the other maids and they told me she was vicious to her own son.

How can I love that woman?
