99 Days✅

Chapter 46 👑

Khadijah Daihaah's POV.

Thankfully, Grandmother didn't ask us to stay any longer after the four days we intended to stay from the very beginning. So, we left on a Tuesday and returned back to Abuja. Now the problem is I came down with a cold. A very terrible cold and believe me I didn't like the sneezing, coughing and headaches at all. That made my dearest husband makes me stay in bed rest for a week even though I got better five days after. Neither he nor I went to work even after I told him that I was fine but he said quote unquote "I am nursing my sick wife so work is the last thing on my mind right now"

The thing is that even after he said that, he still worked from home time to time. I knew there was no way he could stay away from long for long either way. But honestly I don't see the reason for him to stay since I'm much better and I could take care of myself but he wouldn't listen. So that is how I ended staying at home for the week that followed. And when he was convinced that I am finally better, he still said I should 'take a few days to fully recover' and when I asked him about my work he said I shouldn't worry about it.

Instead of staying idle like he said I did my work from home.

Now staying at home wasn't the thing that bothered me. What bothered me is that this only delayed my intentions of going to visit Ummi. Whatever Mami asked her to hide she might've moved it from her room but I can't be too sure. I'm not giving up though, I know it's wrong to go invade her privacy like that but when it involves me I can't help it.

I asked Prince if I could go and visit her and he said that I could go on Saturday which was two days after I asked him. I was simply restless but I somehow managed to hide it from him because he didn't seem suspicious of me. It was becoming really hard to hide things from him as seeing that he can easily read me like an open book. Must've been because of the time we've spent together and all.

At last, the Saturday came. I tried to contain my eagerness as much as I can but it was harder than I thought because I woke up earlier than I usually do. It's not like I could leave at the moment but still. It gave me a lot of time to make breakfast as early as possible.

By the time I was done with setting breakfast up on the table for us, Prince walked in after his daily morning exercise than he once got me to join him. Let's just say it didn't end in my favor which only proved that my body isn't meant for any kind of sport.

"Good morning baby" He said cheerfully taking his seat in the head of the table as I placed his tea in front of him.

"Good morning Prince" I replied trying to be just as enthusiastic as him but I failed somehow because honestly, deep down I was kind of nervous about today.

He puckered his lips a bit as he narrowed his eyes slightly at me, "Why do you keep calling me that?" he asked.

I sat down on my seat, "Call you what?" I feigned ignorance because I know what he's talking about.

"You know what. Why do you keep calling me 'Prince'?"

"Because that's what you are" I simply answered as I started eating my food ignoring the fact that I know he is still glaring at me which I find amusing by the way. "Also, isn't that how you want people to call you?"

"What are you talking about?"

I turned to look at him and he honestly looks confused, "Are you seriously telling me you don't remember?" I asked chuckling a bit.

He shrugged, "I don't"

This time I laughed at him which didn't help with the glare he still had but I didn't mind, "You have one bad memory"
