Emily’s POV~Chapter 11As we ate silently I could feel his glance cast on me at intervals. We bumped into each other while trying to pick stuffs on the table which gave moments of uneasiness as we both weren’t ready to start a conversation.Weirdly I was so hungry that I ate on and on that I didn’t notice he had stopped eating and was watching me as I downed each spoonful.“You skipped lunch,” he asked, looking amused.I felt embarrassed at the instant and stuttered “Seems I slept all through the day….,” his eyes pricked me with curiosity, “in your study,” I added hoping it will make me feel a little bit better.“Earlier on you looked as though you cried for a while then you slept off,” his reply threw me off guard, weirdly enough I felt he could see through me, “you mind sharing with me what pissed you off so.”I wish I could tell him everything about the marriage chokes me, but I decided to stay silent. “I missed my mother and I had a little trip down memory lane”, I said as I fel
