Soon the table was filled with dishes they both ate silently neither of them talking till they finished their meal Courtney decided to take a break she was watching a movie then she started feeling drowsy she didn't know when she slept off. Courtney slept for quite sometime before David woke her up Mrs Williams wake up David said Courtney rubbed her eyes like a cat then she woke up how long did I sleep she asked quite sometime David answered let's go now I promised you a celebration today or do you want to spend your day in the office I don't mind accompanying you Mrs Williams David said . Let's go David Courtney said then she went downstairs with him David drove back to their house Courtney was surprised when they got to their home I thought you were taking me out Courtney asked yes Mrs Williams but I am going to cook for you I cook much better than those Michelin chef David said wait the David Williams is going to cook for me I feel so honoured Courtney said no Mrs Williams your husband is going to cook for you David said . They went into the house together David changed into his home clothes and put on an apron Courtney went upstairs after she finished freshening up then she came downstairs in the living room waiting for him. David cooked in the kitchen for an hour and when he was done he brought the dishes over . He made coleslaw,fried chicken, macaroni and cheese. When Courtney saw those dishes on the table her eyes sparkled with excitement but she felt bad those hands that was used to sign contract worth billions of dollars was used to make food for her she always had this mentality of her being in a contract marriage but David has always been patient with her and had been good to her genuinely she remembered Anna's words it won't harm to give it a try besides we only live once so why not make the best of it she thought. She ate the meal with David quietly but every bite she took she praised the meal so much after eating and clearing the plates she decided to talk to David. David we need to talk Courtney said am all ears Courtney David said I think we can make our marriage work I want to give our relationship a chance to blossom Courtney said wife don't tell me it's because you ate my delicious food that's why you agreed to my request David asked forget what I said David thanks for the food good night Courtney said then she walked upstairs but David caught up with and held her hand hey Courtney wait up I was only teasing you don't worry you won't regret your decision David said okay Courtney said then she went upstairs. David was still in the moment he couldn't believe that Courtney wanted to give their relationship a chance to blossom his feelings for Courtney was getting stronger he has never felt this way for anyone before it was as if Courtney was a magnet that attracted him so strongly.
