He only married me to show her that he already moved on Chapter 24 - Twenty-four: Meeting his relatives

Madi's POV:

"Why do you have to pick me up? I can go to the airport on my own. I have my own feet, you know?" I asked Gabriel for the third times this morning.

We're going to his parents' house in Belleville. It's 4 hours and 52 minutes of drive by a car but he said we're going to take his private jet so we can only spend 47 minutes of rides.

"You know what, you should be thanking and not complaining. At least we can go together and we can save time."

I just rolled my eyes. Do you know where he is right now? He's in my room! Can you imagine your boss at work has no shame in barging in his assistant's room! And he's really sitting pretty at the edge of my bed.

"And forgodsake, what are you doing inside my room? Who gave you permission to entered here?" I asked putting my hands on my waist.

"You." he pointed his finger on me. " You opened your door, so I walked in. And ohh love... I'm here to get your things." he chuckled and laid on his back to tease me more.

"Oh yeah, love... thank you so much." I rolled my eyes again. I pushed my suitcase to where he seats.

"I'm done, love. Let's go." 

He immediately get and grabbed the handle of it, but he still doesn't reach the door when he turned around.

"What's inside of this suitcase? It's very light."

"Ohh love.. you should be thanking instead of complaining." I smiled as I mimicked his words. "And of course, it has four wheels that's why it's easy to pull! duh!" I just said the last word to myself.

"Yeah, I know it has four wheels! But I also know what is really heavy or not!" 

And to my surprise, he put it down and without asking.. he opened my bag.

"What are you doing?" I asked him while trying to stop what he's going to do.

"I'm checking your bag, what else?" he asked me in 'duh' tone.

"But it's my personal things!"

"And I'm not taking it, I'm just checking, okay? Who would know if you just packed your bikinis and lingeries that's why it so light?"

He said, checking my things one by one. But he only find shorts, t-shirts, dress, some girly stuff and some accessories. I put my underwears under my clothes, so it's not visible in his n.a.k.e.d eyes.

"Wow! well organised. I like it, love." he said grinning and looked around.

"Of course, I am Mad---- I know how to organize all my things!" I actually going to say 'of course, I am Madi' like my favorite line.. but I realized he's not one of my friends who knows my naughty side.

And thanks God, he didn't notice that.

"I'm also referring to your room."

"I am a woman Mr. Wilsons, and a matured woman should know how to clean and organize her stuff before she could display her face in front of other people outside."

"Wow, I didn't know you have that in you. Where did you get that?" he asked with amus.e.m.e.nt visible in his both eyes.

"From my loving mother! Happy?" I narrowed my eyes on him. "Close my bag!" I demanded frowning.

"Hmm.. feisty side of yours, Mrs. Wilsons." he smirked and closed my bag.

"Why are you calling me that?" my heart is hammering inside by hearing those words from him.

But he just laughed at me and continue to pull my bag.

"Because you're going to have that title in two weeks from now, love." 

He opened the door and I followed him outside. I know he's just teasing me, and I tried not to smile to show him I'm annoyed.

"Does your parents know we're coming today?"

I asked when we're finally seated in his private jet. He sitting across my seat and because he has long legs, our knees almost touching every time we move.

"There's a lot of vacant seats here inside, but why did you choose to sit in front of me? I can't move my legs!" I complained when he accidentally brushed my right knee for the fourth time.

He chuckled and positioned himself into a more comfortable position.

-'Argh!'-

"Which of your questions do you want me to answer first?" he asked still grinning.

I rolled my eyes. I wish this side of him is also visible to all of his employees and all of the people around him.

"The second one!" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Are you sure?"

-'Oh my God!'-

"Yes!"

"I want to sit here to watch you drool when you sleep." and he chuckled again.

I was a bit surprised so I'm just looking at him with an opened mouth.

-'Huh! Did he just throw a joke? Wow!'-

"Hey, I'm just kidding." 

And my mouth opened more.

"Wow! Did you just ..." remembering he would change again his mode, I changed the question in my head. ".... say drool?"

"Yes."

"I don't drool!"

"How would you know, your sleep?"

"I know I don't!"

"Uhuh.. let's see."

"Huh! No way! I won't sleep then. It's just less than one hour of rides so I'll play on my phone!"

He laughed again. I'm really wondering.. what's with this man always smiling and laughing since this morning? He seems in a good mood. But no matter how I want to ask him, I am restraining myself not to. Because you already know.. he's kinda bipolar sometimes, and I don't want to sit hear in our whole ride with a grumpy man in front of me.

"Now, my first question! Does your parents know that we're coming?"

"Yes. I already told them. And they're very excited to see you. So be ready for some question and answer, especially with my sister."

"You have a sister?"

"Yes, younger than me. She's working in a detective agency."

My eyes widened from his information.

"Oh my! If she's working in a detective agency, she might-----"

"No, love. Relax okay? We will portray our role and just answer her question so she will not suspect anything and even my mom."

I sighed and leaned back to my seat.

"That's why I'm telling you to call me love from now on." he's grinning again.

"Hehe." I said in a teasing tone before flipping my hair while rolling my eyes.

We already talked about our 'fake story' when we still in his car. And he gave the ball to me so it's up to me on how would I play the role later. A naughty thoughts came in my head and an evil smile formed on my lips as I looked on his direction.

He scrunched his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

-'Be ready... my love..'-
