Courtney didn't know how long she slept off ,but when she was awake it was already evening even after waking up she still couldn't adjust her emotions ,she locked herself up in the room and didn't come downstairs. She couldn't explain how she was feeling and just wanted to be alone. By the time David came back it was already 10pm good evening sir Nanny Felicia greeted him good evening nanny David replied. Sir she hesitated nanny what's wrong speak up David said , it's about young madam after you left young madam hasn't come downstairs, she has locked herself up in her room , I knocked on her door to call her down to eat dinner but she said she is not hungry nanny Felicia said . Okay David said lightly, you can go back now he said okay young master nanny Felicia said and left.

What is this woman up to is she angry that I didn't take the lunchbox to the office he thought to himself. He climbed the stairs and knocked on her door Courtney open the door David said, I am coming Courtney said and went to open the door . When David saw her he furrowed his brows he saw that her eyes were red and swollen seems like she has been crying I shouldn't have been to harsh to her while leaving he said to himself, what's up Courtney asked I heard that you have been in your room all day and refused to come downstairs to eat your dinner and I know you haven't even eaten lunch talk less of having your dinner David replied. I am not hungry she said lightly David since there is nothing that I can help you with and nothing for us to discuss could you please leave I want to be alone besides you don't have the right to meddle in my affairs if I eat or not it has nothing to do with you I can take care of myself Courtney said he felt a prick in his heart when he heard Courtney he didn't know why he was sad because of her words. Do you think I came up here to hear you say that I don't want anyone to say that David Williams is maltreating his wife he said. No one will say anything she slammed the door on his face and entered her room. This girl is becoming outrageous he said angrily and left. When Courtney entered her room she sat on the bed next thing she heard was her stomach growling aah Courtney why did you say you weren't hungry now you are paying for your words she tried to hold in her hunger to avoid going to the kitchen to eat but she reasoned that It was ready 12pm and everyone will be asleep by now. It won't harm to go and eat. She climbed the stairs and tiptoed quietly entering the kitchen she saw an ice cream in the freezer and some cupcakes. She took the things and was about to leave only to see David at her back she got startled and screamed sssh stop screaming he said. She didn't know how to face him , she just told him that she wasn't hungry some hours ago now she got slapped in the face by her own words. David what are you doing here she laughed awkwardly and scratched her hair she asked. I was taking a walk and came inside only to hear noises from the kitchen I thought it was a rat and I was right it was a big rat he said seriously. Uhm okay she scratched her hair go and sit down in the dining I will reheat the food for you David said she didn't have the strength to say no and simply sat down. Five minutes later David came out with the food and set in on the dinning. He watched her as she wolfed down her food am sorry David said suddenly Courtney choked and started coughing was this dog man apologizing to her, take it easy he handed her water and she drank. Courtney wasn't used to his gentleness. It's okay David I wasn't angry I just made a discovery and it put in me a bad mood today Courtney said truthfully and what did you find out David asked I will tell you when the time is right she said. Courtney David said mmmh thanks for the food she said David wanted to say something the words were at the tip of his tongue but he swallowed it back. Take care of yourself he said and left good night David Courtney muttered silently while getting up to go to her room.

She still couldn't get used to David's gentleness and she reminded herself that she was in a contract marriage that what he was doing was a formality, she didn't want to get her hopes up maybe she wasn't really destined to find love. She dozed off while gathering her messy thoughts. David was still in his room trying to figure out his complicating emotions he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable when he saw Courtney's swollen eyes maybe it's just a feeling of guilt for treating her harshly in the morning then again he thought but she said she wasn't angry that she made a discovery. He Shaked off his feeling and tried to sleep he tossed up in the bed all night trying to catch some sleep but he couldn't. He woke up in the morning with dark circles under his eyes , it was the weekend so he slept in .

Courtney woke up quite early in the morning after washing up she came down for breakfast she was surprised when she didn't see David at the dining table nanny Felicia Courtney called out yes Young madam nanny Felicia answered has David gone to the office she asked no young madam young master doesn't go to the office today it's the weekend maybe he is still in his room she said and left. She wondered why he didn't come down.
