WIFE SERIES: THE BATTERED WIFE (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter 4: SETH



I can say my life is perfect, even though we don't have a child yet.

We haven't had a big argument even though we've been together for over two years.

This is every woman's dream to have a good, loving, and most of all is to have a faithful husband.

I'm happy with my life, and that's not because of the money I'm having now. I am delighted, and what I'm feeling is genuine happiness.

I smiled as I parked my car in front of a clinic.

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. My husband has every material thing he wants so I can't decide what to give him. That's why I'm hoping that my visit here has a positive result.

When I got inside, I immediately went straight to my doctor friend's clinic.

"Good mor-" I stopped midway because of the man I saw inside the clinic.

My friend is a girl, so I'm not expecting a man to be here inside.

He was wearing a scrub suit while sitting in Dra Capestrana's swivel chair. I think the guy is in his early 30's. Clean-cut hair, fair skin, and I want to embarrass myself because of the smoothness of his face. There was not even a trace of a scar on his skin. But what really caught my attention was his hand, most especially his fingers.

"Am I that good-looking?" The man smiled, so I had the chance to see his perfectly white teeth.

"Where's Tricia?" I made my voice formal so that he would not notice that I was embarrassed because what he said was true.

I was spellbound for a second because of his looks, and I can't deny that.

"Why? Are you here to-" He stopped talking and looked at me.

There's an emotion in his eyes that I couldn't explain, especially since it was only for a moment.

"What's your name?" He stood up, and now I could see how tall he was.

A 6'7" tall, I think. He is tall. His body build can be compared to a Korean artist.

I shook my head to erase this nonsense from my head.

I don't know why I had to waste my time studying his character.

This is very unusual for me.

This is not me.

The door chime made a sound behind me, so I look where the door is.

"Oh, Mina. I'm glad you're already here."

I'm glad that Tricia is here because there's an awkward atmosphere between the two of us, maybe because we're the only two here inside.

I swallowed a few times before smiling at my friend. "Yeah. I tried to call you before I went here, but I couldn't reach your number, so I just went straight here." She took me by the arm and guided me to a chair near her desk. "Seth, you can go home now."

The man walked and came over to us - no, to me. He approached me.

And because he was so tall, it seems that I'm looking up at the sun.

"I can't deny the fact that you are beautiful in the distance, but you're even more beautiful when you're up close." He drew his face next to mine. "Just like this," he added with his husky voice.

Tricia tapped the man on the shoulder. "She's beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, and brainy, but I'm sad to drop this to you, Little Brother, Mina is already married. Happily married, so if I were you, I'd go home," Tricia said to the guy in front of me. But her words only fell into deaf ears.

The guy named Seth stepped even near towards me, and I stepped back. This guy is giving me goosebumps because of the extreme closeness of our faces.

I can smell his manly scent. His minty breath gently caresses my face.

I felt my breathing stop because of the closeness of his face to mine, so when he finally steps away from me, I released my breath.

I felt relieved by this man's withdrawal.

I thought he was going to stop, but he didn't, so when he suddenly drew his face close to mine again, I back away.

Because of the sudden step I make, I was out of balance and almost fell if the man hadn't been quick to catch me.

His left hand is holding my waist while his right hand is holding my hand.

He seems like enjoying what he's doing because a playful smile is plastered on his face while I, on the other hand, my eyes widened because I almost had an accident. "W-what the heck a-are you doing?!"

I don't know the reason why I stuttered-it is because I almost fell or because our bodies were closer together?

"I was the one who saved you; that's what I did," he whispered to my ear.

My eyes squinted because of what he said. "L-let me go!" I shouted at him.

"If I let you go, you will be hurt because the floor will catch you ..." He smiled again.

I looked to Tricia to ask for her help, so she approached us. She tapped the man on the shoulder again.

"Stop that, Seth. It's not polite to treat a pregnant woman like that."

The gradual widening of his eyes did not escape my eyes. I don't know why there was confusion in his eyes because of what Tricia said.

Because of his reaction, I had the opportunity to get away from him.

"Are you okay, Mina?" my friend immediately asked me.

I wiped the notch of sweat on my forehead before I answered her. "Y-yeah... Thank you."

"You'll have to forgive that brother of mine because he's less than a month when my mother gave birth to him."

Tricia made me sit down first before she took water and gave it to me, then she approached her brother. He pinched the man on the side.

"As for you, Seth Austin Vanguard, go home. I can't believe you'd include my friend in your dirty tactics."

Seth straightened up before looking at me. "What a dismay." He shrugged his shoulder. "Well, I'm still rooting for you..." I knew what he said was a joke, so I didn't answer him. When I set my eyes on him, he gave me a flying kiss before leaving the room.
