Chapter 82 Traumatized
"What was that?"
When her eyes met his, she shuddered. She could sense the difference in the way he was looking at her.
Rachael's heart skipped a beat and her stomach churned when he ran his run against her lips.
Inching closer, Andrew said, "Do you think that is enough?" He then tightened his grip around her waist and pulled her closer.
Rachael lightly gasped and placed her hand on his chest. Their bodies were squeezed together.
"Andrew—we are outside." She forced herself to remind him. Even though she was anticipating what could possibly happen next, she couldn't ignore the surroundings.
They were currently standing in the middle of the garden. Given that the mansion was heavily guarded, anyone could see them.
"No one will come here." He brushed his nose against hers.
Gently caressing the corner of her lips, he said, "Do you know how hard it is for me to see you everytime and not kiss you?" Pausing for a while, he added, "Rach, I don't think I can wait any longer."
Rachael slid her hands on the back of his neck and interlaced her fingers on his hair.
Resting his forehead against hers, Andrew took a deep breath and was about to pull away when she gently pulled him closer. She then leaned forward, minimising the distance between them.
She didn't say anything but her actions were enough for him to understand what she wanted.
With their lips inches apart from each other, he placed his hand on her side her neck and was about to claim her sweet lips when—
"Okay, I can't do this," Owen yelled. Covering his eyes with his hands, he sat on the ground. "I thought I would stay silent and let you have your moment but I can't be a spectator and watch you two. That will make me a creep and I am not one."
Owen had stepped out in the garden to get some fresh air but he suddenly got caught up with work when one of his men called him, informing him about the new problem they had been facing back in Russia.
By the time he finished instructing his men on everything he needed to do, Andrew and Rachael had already entered the garden.
At first, Owen wanted to approach them but when he saw them being all cuddly, he decided to stay silent. But as things escalated between them, he started feeling embarrassed and awkward.
Seeing how hesitant both Andrew and Rachael were to initiate the kiss, it wasn't hard for him to say that it was their first kiss together.
Though Owen was excited for his brother and sister-in-law, he didn't want to be the creep who was silently stalking their private moment.
When Rachael heard Owen's voice, she quickly pushed Andrew away.josei
Andrew didn't wanna let her go but he didn't have a choice. "What the hell are you here?" This is why he didn't want anyone to stay in his house. He knew his good for nothing family members would destroy his private time with his wife.
"I-I'll go inside—" Without looking at anyone, she ran inside.
After Rachael left, Andrew glared at Owen. "You are f*ucking dead—"
When he started chasing him, Owen widened his eyes in shock and ran for his life. "Hey, how is it my fault? I was just being a gentleman."
"You are a piece of sh*it Owen," he yanked at him.
When Andrew caught his arm, he quickly explained himself. "How would you feel if I witnessed you kissing your wife for the first time? That would be so weird."
"Couldn't you just slowly walk out?" Andrew snapped. He was seconds away from kissing Rachael. He had been dreaming of that day since he married her or may be even before that. But now everything was ruined because of his stupid cousin.
"How was I supposed to do that? You both were about to do it right in front of my face." Placing his hand on his chest, he gasped, "I was traumatized."
"Get the f*uck out of my house right now and why are you even here?" Andrew frowned. When his meeting got over, he had asked one of the helpers for Owen but she told him that he had already left. This is why he only told Elsa not to come to the garden.
"I was talking to Henley." When he finally calmed down, Owen added, "There is a small problem."
"What happened?"
"The news about you and Justin leaving Russia has already spread everywhere," he answered. "People are thinking we are withdrawing from the business."
Pausing for a while, Owen asked, "Do you think Semion has something to do with it?"
"I won't be shocked if he is involved." Who better than Andrew knew how sly his grandfather could be?
Though Semion tried to act normal, Andrew knew the situation he was in was killing him. He was desperate for power and could go to any lengths in order to get it back.
"Don't worry, I'll fly back tomorrow and try to solve the problem."
"You going back alone is not going to solve the problem," Andrew stated. "Justin and I have to accompany you too."
Thinking for a while, Owen asked, "What about Rachael?" Once they flew back to Russia, no one knew how long it would take to solve the problem they were currently facing.
"We will leave Elsa, she can accompany her." Though Andrew didn't wish to leave her side, he had no other choice.
Justin and Andrew had already permanently left the country in a short span and Owen had been flying back every now and then. The physical absence of all three of them had given their competitors a reason and courage to stir trouble for them. They had to calm the situation down and make sure that everyone knows they were still in power and there was only one way to do that. All three of them had to show up together.
"What will you tell her?"
"I'll figure something out," Andrew sighed.
