"Why do we need to go there?" I asked, "Can't we just stay at home and relax?"
"Even though I don't want to go, we need to get hold of Denalis... I want them to invest in our company, and believe me, this Polo match is the perfect place to catch them," he said.
"So basically you're planning to work even on this weekend!" I shook my head.
"C'mon..." He smiled, "It won't just be work... We'll also get to spend some quality time together... It will be fun." He said.
"Quality time? Yeah, right!" I said.
"Baby, I really need them as investors..." He said,
"Alright..." I sighed as I got up from the bed, "We need to get ready then."
He pulled my hand and made me sit on his lap.
"I heard the babies were missing me..." He said in a husky tone as he roamed his hand on my breast.
"Look... Now don't try to just act cool after spoiling the mood!" I said.
"What?" He said, "This event was planned two weeks back."
"Yeah, I know... But..." I sighed, "Edward, we're not at all spending time together..."
"Yeah... Because we both are busy right now..." he said, "It's not going to be like this all the time... I'm really trying to push a bit right now, but give me a few months. My schedule will be much better."
"A few months? That made me feel so better!" I said sarcastically.
"Look, Bella..." He said, "I don't want to argue on this topic again. Please! I'm tired."
"So am I." I said.
"Fine, then let's not just talk about it..." he said, "Let's get ready... We need to leave soon."
"Sometimes I feel like you marry me only so that I can join you everywhere as a trophy wife," I said.
"Trophy wife? Seriously? Is that what you really think?" His expressions changed a bit as he asked that.
"Yeah..." I said.
"Well, I don't want to argue with you then," he said, "I need to go. If you don't want to join, please feel free to skip. I'll do just fine without a trophy wife by my side."
I grabbed my hair in frustration.
He never even tried to understand the problem!
Was it me who had to make all the compromises?
"Bella... I'm going to say one last time..." he said, "I need to talk to Marcus Denali probably only for fifteen minutes... The rest of the time, I'm going to be with you! Is it so difficult to understand? I'd love if you can join me."
"Do I have any other option?" I said as I made my way to the bathroom to get ready.
