Michael exhaled. He knew the reason why he didn't want her to work was not the reason he told her, he was scared but he won't admit it. He won't admit it to her that he didn't trust her not to chest on him. Of course he knew that she was a good woman, but he also knew that she had high sex craze and he couldn't satisfy her not when he was still with Felix.
Even if Audrey complained lovingly and not so often he knew that the lack of sexual pleasure was getting to her. He didn't want her to work, or to meet other men. It was stupid of him to think that keeping her away from the world would stop her from cheating on him but he had become so insecure he didn't mind being stupid if it meant that she won't leave him.
Which other woman could love him again. He knew that sooner or later he would have to tell her what his fears were but he didn't know how to tell her they truth. I mean how do you tell your wife that you have a male lover. Audrey would leave him and he won't be able to endure it.
"Audrey. " he called to her, sitting up. He took in a deep breath and spoke. "Look, you know you don't have to work I can pay you at the end of the month or something. It would daint my image if people see you working. Fine I'll open an online shop for you or anything you want_"
"Why do I feel that there is more to this than what you are saying. That you are hiding something from me." Audrey hissed. She was starting to get angry all over again. Plus she could feel her earlier resolve to use love on Michael sip through her veins. Why wont her husband just let her work? He was making her feel like this marriage was a prison for her and not him. Which was so unfair.
"I'm not hiding anything from you Audrey. How is it wrong for me to want my wife not to work? How." Michael raised his voice up a few notches now, it was a way to silence Audrey but Audrey will not have it today.
Although she didn't like people shouting at her she was going to get through to Daniel even if she had to do that by shouting back. He won't silence her today, not today. She wanted out of this Jail before she lost her mind from boredom and sexual frustration.
"Yes it's wrong to keep your wife from working, when she obviously wants to work. I don't understand you really. How will my working affect your image or whatever. That's a stupid excuse by the way, even if its true! So you want to tell me that you love me but your image is more important to you than my happiness is that it? Do you even love me?"
"You are making a mountain out of a molehill." Michael aid softly. He didn't like where this conversation was heading to. He never expected her to insist so much on the matter especially when he raised his voice on her. She must really be tired of staying at home, he said to himself.
"Or I'm making a molehill out of a mountain a huge mountain. Probably Mount Everest or Kilimanjaro. We have to settle this! Your Image or my happiness? because staying home doing nothing is sure making me sad and I won't have it again!"
