2 days without Emerson in the mansion and Adrien was going crazy.

He would snap at his employees for little mistakes and was always in a grumpy mood.

It was Friday and so he decided to go back early since working wasn't calming his mind.

He was just showered and sitting in his living room going through the soft copies of his marriage pics he got earlier, someone came to see him.

Adrien looked at the person to see it was his mom in an elegant simple dressed, looking the classy lady she was.

Her sudden appearance was confusing for him.

Over the years with him taking over the company, they didn't even know when their relationship drifted.

The calls and meets became rare and the affection dried gradually.

But deep down they both had the love for each other.

"Hey, Mom. Didn't know you were coming. Everything ok? " He asked concerned.

Eliza smiled softly.

"I called your office, you weren't there, so thought I should meet you. How are you son? " She asked in a neutral tone.

Adrien nodded

"I am good, so what brings you here? "

Eliza raised an eye brow.

"Can't a mom visit her son to see how he is doing? "

Adrien rolled his eyes.

"That's not what I mean mom, and we both know it. So will you tell me? "

Eliza sighed.

"How is married life? It's been two months now."

Adrien stilled before composing himself. He thought of a response but found none.

He finally sighed, dragging his palm on his face.

"I don't know Mom." He said tiredly.

"What does that mean? "

Adrien gulped.

"Emerson is someone you will love to have as your wife. With all her college work, she still kept an eye on Grandad's and her grandma Rose's health, cooking for them on her own. She is polite, soft spoken but has hidden talents.

She is best at the work she does, at least for all the things I have seen her do.

She is someone you will die to hang out with, her food is better than any chef's in the whole NYC.

She doesn't hold grudges and knows her duties too well.

Too good to be true.

She is amazing mom, not someone to be stuck with a jerk like me."

He rambled.

Eliza blinked. It was her son's side she never saw.

"Wow." She muttered.

"Then what's the problem with trying, and where is she? " She asked frowning.

Adrien gulped.

"She is in London, Oxford University."

Eliza's eyes widened.

"Oxford student? She must be really intelligent then." She said in surprise.

Adrien frowned.

"You don't understand mom. She is there for six months as exchange student and she didn't even bother to tell me. A single message is what I got that I won't be seeing her for a few months, she never told me the real details, her grandma did."

Eliza nodded.

"And why so? "

Adrien sighed and a pained look crosses his face.

"I kissed her, she kissed back and next day she sees her sister trying to seduce me and forcefully kisses me."

Eliza's jaw dropped on the floor.

"Knew that girl was problem, but didn't know she was so low." She muttered.

Adrien nodded, his head in his hands.

Eliza spoke again,

"Your dad told me about what happened in your office. She is really smart if your dad and grandad praises her but what you did was wrong too. Henry told me he gave her a platinum card to pay for her dresses and your ring, but she never used it and returned it next day. She is different and something is off about her."

"Definitely something is off about her, she is a freaking vampire who can stay awake at night and read people's thoughts." He muttered remembering their first night of wedding.

Eliza was confused but didn't comment.

"It's ok. And I know you will sort it out. I initially wanted to meet her too to know if she is really what Henry portrays her to be, but I guess it would be after 6 months. I should leave now. Bye." She kissed his cheek and left the mansion leaving Adrien alone in his thoughts.

In London, Emerson's classes had started and she was also doing the exercises and following the diet for her insomnia. It wasn't helping much but 10 min more sleep wasn't bad at all.

She would sometime have a coffee with Lee Shan, who proved to be a great company.

Dr Andrew to was some one good to hang out with.

He gave her tour of the area on Sunday, and they both had lunch together.

She enjoyed his company and it wasn't a secret, but she still a little missed Adrien.

The past month with him, he grew up on her. But she pushed him at the back of her mind.

She enjoyed her classes and now on Thursday she was working on some reports in her cabin. She was engrossed in her work when a knock came on her door confusing her and when she opened the door their stood the last person she expected.

"Dr Andrew? " She said confused

He gave her a charming smile.

"May I come in? " He asked politely.

Emerson suddenly realised how rude she behaved and smiled at him, welcoming him inside.

"Hi, Dr Andrew, what brings you here? " She asked in a polite tone.

Andrew narrowed his eyes playfully.

"You hurt me Emerson, I thought we were friends after Sunday, and you are still calling me Dr Andrew? It's just Andrew to you."

Emerson sighed in relief and blushed, embarrassed.

They both sat on the couch.

"Will you like something to drink? " She asked.

"Oh, coffee will be okay." He said.

Emerson frowned apologetically.

"Sorry, I don't have any coffee. My insomnia keeps it away."

Andrew chuckled.

" Yeah, how could I forget about it? So anything you bring is ok. "

Emerson nodded and went towards the mini fridge , bringing an apple juice carton with straw plucked in it.

Andrew was a little uncomfortable due to the drink she gave him. It made him feel like he was a kid but he didn't comment.

"So what brings you here? " She asked politely again getting impatient to complete her work.

It wasn't like she didn't want his company, she just loved to complete her work first and then do the other things.

"Do you have class at 10 tomorrow in the morning, I was asking for our appointment." He said casually.

Emerson didn't like that but she didn't say anything.

"My appointment is already fixed for 2 pm with you." She replied calmly.

"Oh" Andrew rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed and chuckled nervously.

"Actually I wanted to ask you out, tomorrow at 7." He said smiling softly at her.

She just stared blankly at him, he was sitting on the couch and she was standing a little far from him, her back to the door.

She didn't understand the meaning and so was her reaction, before she could reply, a heavenly smell reached her nose and a warm hand snaked around her waist, startling her.

She turned her head to see Adrien was standing there in all his glory, looking handsome as always, his hand wrapped around her waist and a smile on his face.

She never in a million years expected him to be there with her, but her heart jumped at the sight of him and an involuntary smiled grazed her lips.

He adoringly kissed her cheek, making her face go an adorable shade of pink and he straightened himself.

He turned towards a gaping Andrew and smirked.

"Hello, I am Adrien Stone, Emerson's husband. And you may be? "

At the word husband, Andrew's face paled more and Adrien's smirk grew wider.

Emerson's tummy was playground for fluttering butterflies. Her heart thumping wildly and her face glowing.

She couldn't help herself and stood on her tippy toes, and pecked his cheeks, her hands going around his neck and her face resting in the crook of his neck.

Adrien was more than happy at her action. He embraced her tightly, snuggling towards her.

Both of them forgetting the company.

A clearing of throat snapped them out of their bubble.

Emerson looked red like a tomato, too embarrassed and Adrien had a satisfied smirk on his face.

Andrew introduced himself.

"Hello, I am Andrew Walter, Emerson's doctor." He said in a cold tone.

At the word doctor, Adrien's eyes widened in worry and he turned towards Emerson.

"Are you ok? What happened are you sick? Are you not feeling well? God Emerson answer me! " He rushed out in a go.

Emerson smiled softly, shaking her head.

"No, nothing. I am getting treatment for insomnia." She stated, calming him.

The word insomnia didn't surprise him much looking at her sleeping schedule.

He sighed in relief,

"Thank heaven, I thought something happened to you."

Andrew felt embarrassed and hurt, the only girl he liked turning out to be married.

Emerson turned towards him, smiling brightly.

"We can definitely go out now, since Adrien is here, he will love to come too.

Right Adrien." She asked him with her eyes turning big, making her look adorable, but that didn't calmed that her doctor tried to ask her out, luckily she didn't get the memo.

Adrien turned towards Andrew, and raised one eyebrow.

"So, care to explain why you dared to ask a married woman out? "

Emerson looked confused till it clicked what were Andrew's intentions and her eyes widened comically.

Andrew sighed.

"I didn't know she was married, her name was stated as Ms Leone and not Mrs Stone, and girls wear rings for fashion, so I didn't do anything wrong." He calmly replied.

Adrien nodded slowly.

"She has her own identity, marrying me doesn't make her compulsory to carry my name and leave her own identity. You should confirm someone's relationship status before pulling such stunt. " His tone was void of emotions.

Andrew sighed and nodded.

"I should leave then, see you tomorrow Emerson, nice to meet you Mr Stone." With that he stormed off.

Adrien turned towards Emerson ,

"Care to explain Mrs Stone? "

Shit.
