Chasing After My Wife Chapter 118
Advertisement
The next morning, Jillyanna woke up in his arms. She raised her head and saw his sleeping face close to hers. It was the first time for her to look closely at him after several years.
She kissed his chin lightly and hugged him closer. Little did she know, Travis was already awake since earlier and just closed his eyes for a moment.
When he caught her staring at him, he didn't do anything but a smile crept up on his face when she kissed him quickly.
He wanted to tease her again but she just experience a troublesome situation so he held back for today and just lie down quietly beside her.
After another half an hour, he completely opened his eyes and kissed her. "Good morning."
"Morning." Jillyanna greeted back with a lovely smile.
Travis climbed down the bed first and walked to the bathroom. As a habit now, he prepared her a warm bath and a set of clothes.
"Take bath now so we can leave early." he commented to her who was still lazying on the bed.
Jillyanna sighed and got up. "There's an ongoing issue online." she admitted to him since he had been asking her what was the thing she was hiding from him.
"Hn." he responded simply to her.
"You knew?" Jillyanna asked in surprise.
Travis kissed her head, ushering her to the bathroom at the same time. "I checked my phone after you fell asleep."
"I see."
She didn't get mad or showed him joy. Her face was still expressionless as she stripped off her clothes. She entered the shower room to clean her body first before entering the bath tub. Even though he had seen her body multiple times, he still looked away as courtesy.

After she took a shower, Travis stripped off his clothes and took his time for bathing. They spent almost half an hour before getting out to dress up.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Travis asked her while looking for a shirt to wear. Jillyanna had her clothes prepared so she didn't have to worry.
"Nothing in particular." she answered while putting on the clothes.
Travis chose a white-blue patterned maxi skirt for her and a white off-shoulder blouse. Looking at her clothes, she helped him pick a shirt that would match hers.
"Let me choose your clothes for you." she skimmed through different clothes and found a white long-sleeves with a blue embroidered dragon pattern on the back. She picked up a dark blue jeans to pair with it.
"It matches your clothes." Travis commented while getting the clothes from her.
"That's why I chose it. Hurry up and get dressed. I'm hungry."
She didn't have to put on any make up on her face. However, she made sure to put some sunblock cream.
With her sling bag, she walked down the stairs first and went to the kitchen. She had to drink her vitamins already.
Travis followed her not long after. He made her a sandwich and apple juice to eat.
"Don't check your phone today. Check it tomorrow." Travis reminded her.
Jillyanna frowned while chewing her food. She planned on checking the situation online after eating but it seemed like she had to pass it.
"Okay." she agreed after swallowing her sandwich. "Let's go to Cielo's house this time?" she asked. She wanted to spend time with them after all the things that happened to her. She missed talking to Cielo as well.
Travis saw the expectation in her eyes so he agreed. It's also good for her to be distracted while he do the things he needed to do.

After making sure that everything's fine, Jillyanna and Travis traveled back home.
Early in the morning, Diego prepared to visit Cheska in the hospital. He arrived last night but he was too tired and just collapsed on his bed. In the end, he had to deal with the issue, early in the morning.
He called Cheska beforehand and agreed to make a statement in order to clean Jillyanna's reputation and to repay Travis for his kindness.
Diego arrived at the hospital around 10 o'clock with a bouquet of flowers and a gift. Cheska was currently on break since there was no appointment that time.
'Knock! Knock! Knock!'
Cheska's assistant nurse opened the door and Diego's smiling face came into view.
"Aaahhhww! So sweet! Why won't you make your relationship public already? Now the issue is already ridiculous." the assistant commented with a helpless face.
"That's why I'm here." Diego stated and approached Cheska. "Are you ready for this? We're up against your stepdad."
"The hell I care about him. My real father won't do this to me." Cheska responded, her cheeky smile made Diego chuckled. He kissed her forehead as he gave the flowers to her.
They chatted for awhile about their statement and how they should deliver it. In the end, they decided to do it during a meal.
Cheska booked a private booth in a restaurant nearby so that they can proceed as planned. They wanted to invite Travis and Jillyanna but, the latter was pregnant so they dismissed the idea.
Lunch break came, Diego and Cheska were seen by several people going out together. There were some doctors,her classmates during university, who gave out a pity sigh for her.
Diego set up the camera while waiting for their food. Cheska breathed in and out to calm herself. After such a long time of keeping their relationship, they finally got the chance to make it public.
Diego smiled and gave her head a gentle pat. "It's our turn to help Travis this time."
"Yeah. We owe him a lot." Cheska agreed. "Do you think Travis will make a move? I saw his post last night."
Diego didn't say anything. If it was before, Travis wouldn't do anything, letting the issue come and go. It was always Diego who cleaned up his issues.
However, it's different this time. He's got a woman and baby he wanted to protect.
