De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Lie
The conditions on the plane were quite quiet. Ellard had been sleeping since then, leaving only Jessie and Xavier as passengers. Actually there's Felix in the front seat.
They use a private plane to shorten the time because Xavier has to catch up on some of the jobs left behind.
Speaking of the man, Jessie had felt strange since last night. He felt like he was back at the beginning of their marriage which was filled with silence from each other.
Jessie once asked him to speak, but Xavier only responded small like nodding and so on. Xavier avoided it. Starting from turning his face to not want to look at him and it applies until now!
Jessie felt neglected. As of now Xavier was just staring out the window regardless. Jessie turned her face and looked out the window on the other side.
Jessie began to close her eyes because the atmosphere made her sleepy, but only a few seconds her eyes were closed, Jessie heard footsteps nearby.
"Xav's?" call Jessie when she sees her husband moving from the chair to the room that is also available there. The woman followed.
"I'm tired" he said briefly without looking at Jessie. The man immediately spread his body and closed his eyes, ignoring Jessie who was standing at the side of the bed.
"All right, just take a break." Jessie gave a gentle kiss on her husband's forehead before leaving the man, "i love you."

"Felix."
"Mrs."
"Don't call me that. Just call me my name." Jessie sat a little away from Felix.
"Can't be, Mrs."
"As far as you go" Jessie smiled. Felix was a bit clumsy.
"Hm— what's calling me?" tanyanya nervous.
"Can't really?"
"Not so, Mrs—"
"You're too nervous" Jessie cut.
"I'm sorry!"
"Curtain! That's right." Jessie sneered, "other than you, there's nothing I can talk to."
"Oh so."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"What are your abilities?"
"Yes?" Felix was puzzled by the sudden question.
"What skills do you have that Xavier makes you his man."
"Ah that—" Felix stroked his nape awkwardly, "i'm not that great, Mrs. Actually I almost rejected three times."
"Really?"
"Not useful huh ..," murmured little Jessie.
Felix then took something out of his suit pocket, then gave it to Jessie.
"This thing fell out of the master's pocket. I forgot to give it back."
"Letter?" ask Jessie after receiving it.
"Of course."
Jessie's forehead creased when she realized it looked familiar. His body immediately froze when he saw the contents.
His hospital certificate! A letter containing information about the history he is experiencing now. Xavier saw?!
Unknowingly Jessie squeezed the letter a little. His heart started to beat. Is this why Xavier behaved like that to her? The man must have known about his difficult condition of having children.
Jessie tried to calm down by adjusting her breathing.
"Have you seen him, Felix?" jessie Flat.
"Yet, Mrs." Felix feels strange with Jessie's sudden change of emotions.
"Rest," he said, then left. Felix scratched his head in confusion.
Jessie opened the door just like that. Xavier is playing his phone.
"real right. You avoiding me?"
Xavier just stared at him flat.
"Thank God you still want to look at me even with that sharp look."
"What's wrong?" The man finally made a sound too.
Xavier then looked at the piece of paper his wife was carrying. Jessie noticed the look and lifted her up.
"You've seen it, haven't you?"
Xavier did not answer. But Jessie can see if the man is angry.
"Go away. I don't want to argue." Put down his phone and start lying down.
"Why?" ask Jessie again, "you don't want to do anything to me? I lied to you."
Xavier hates lies and traitors. What he covered up right now included lies.
Xavier used to punish him if he started lying, not even hesitating to make him cry in regret. There will be no more new lies.
"Get out, Jess. I don't want to repeat it," the cold.
Jessie did not argue. The woman nodded.
"Sorry," he said, "I'll wait until you talk about it."
