BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 Good Mood
[Rachael and Andrew\'s Room]
When Andrew entered the room, Rachael had already changed into comfortable home clothes and was fast asleep on the bed.
He tucked her inside the blanket and kissed her forehead before stepping inside the washroom for a shower.
When he came out, his phone, which was on the table, started ringing.
"Hmm, what is it?"
"I looked into the matter," Owen stated. "It was really an accident and it was Samuel\'s fault." Though Justin had assured them it was an accident, they didn\'t wanna take a chance by letting the incident pass. They had to be careful.
Keeping quiet for a while, Andrew inquired, "What is Samuel doing here?" It had been a month since Samuel Petrov had left Russia and had been staying in Elisberg city. This was not only suspicious but also very unusual.
"It seems like he is up to something," Owen answered. "He has been constantly meeting his brother\'s competitors in the city. Igor tried to contact him many times but Samuel is ignoring him, it seems like the two brothers have fallen out."
"What about Igor? Is he aware of the meetings?" Andrew wasn\'t very surprised when he heard about the possibility of the two Petrov brother\'s falling out. Though they pretended to be quite close in public, the reality was different.
"No, you know how sneaky this Samuel is, he is being very careful." Pausing for a while, Owen added, "About Samuel and Rachael—"
"What about them?"
"I couldn\'t find anything which indicated towards them knowing each other. Maybe they crossed paths in the past but I am not sure. Why don\'t you ask Rachael about it?" Since they couldn\'t find anything, Owen thought it would be best if Andrew asked her about it personally.
"Hmm, I will."
After hanging up the call, Andrew lied down beside Rachael and pulled her into his embrace.
Kissing the top of her head, he sighed. Since the day he left, he had always felt very restless. But now that she was in his arms again, the anxiety in his heart finally calmed down.
When she snuggled closer and wrapped her arms around his waist, his lips curled upwards.
The kiss that they shared today was proof that Rachael had feelings for him too, just like he did. Now all he had to do was wait for her to acknowledge her feelings for him.
"Andrew—" Rachael muttered.
"Hmm?" He gently caressed her back.
"I am so happy that you are back." She snuggled closer. "I really missed you a lot."
"I missed you too." He kissed the top of her head.

[Next Day]
When Elsa woke up and stepped out of the room, the first person she bumped into was Justin.
"I—I was about to knock." He awkwardly cleared his throat. "Hi—"
"Hi—" Elsa smiled.
Both of them kept standing in the same position for a few minutes. They didn\'t say anything, they just kept stealing glances at each other.
"You wanna come inside?" Since the conversation they had last night didn\'t go that well, they had to start it all over again.
Looking around, Justin suggested, "Can we go somewhere else?"
"Sure, let me get changed."
"I\'ll wait for you in the car." When she nodded, Justin left.

[Rachael and Andrew\'s Room]
Kissing her chin, followed by the tip of her nose, Andrew smiled, "Morning—"
"You seem to be in a very good mood today," Rachael chuckled.
"Well, after a whole month I am waking up beside my beautiful wife. Why shouldn\'t my mood be good?" he remarked.
When he resumed showering her with morning kisses, she laughed, "We will be late for office."
"It\'s okay, we are the boss."
"I have an early meeting."
"Ask Ben to reschedule it," Andrew remarked as he started trailing kisses on her neck.
Rachael placed her hand on his shoulder and tried to push him away. "Stop, it\'s ticklish," she giggled.
Just then Andrew\'s phone started ringing.
"Whoever is it, saved you today." He gave her a peck on her lips before getting up.
Not giving him a chance to force her to stay in bed, Rachael quickly got up.
She frowned and placed her hand on her lower abdomen when she felt a sharp pain. She staggered and sat down on the bed again.
When Andrew noticed movements, he quickly hung up the call and approached her. "What happened?" he frowned.
"Nothing—"
Seeing how she was trying to massage her lower abdomen, he asked, "Is your stomach hurting?"
"I think it\'s period cramps," she sighed.
"Oh—is there something I can do for you?"
"Can you get a tampon or sanitary pad from Elsa? I don\'t have any at the moment."
Andrew nodded and quickly walked out.
…..
[Elsa\'s room]
Elsa was about to leave when Andrew entered her room.
"Where are you going?" he inquired when he saw her all dressed up.
"I am going out with Justin," she answered. "What are you doing here so early? Do you want something?"
"Do you have any tampons?"
"Yes I have it—" She walked towards her suitcase and took out a new pack. "You are taking it for Rachael right?"
Andrew: " "
"Do you think I will use it?" he frowned.
"Who knows?" she shrugged. "Men can be weird."
Without saying anything, he took the pack from her hand. "Did you bring the hot water bag I had bought for you?"
Growing up with a woman beside them, Owen and Andrew had more knowledge about menstruation and other feminine problems than other men as Elsa never kept anything away from them. She always told them about the multiple problems women have to face before, during and after their monthly menstrual cycle.
Since Elsa always complained about having bad menstrual cramps, Andrew had bought her an electric hot water bag to make feel comfortable. On the other hand, Owen always brought her snacks and chocolates or whatever she was craving during her cycle.
Without saying anything, she took out the hot water bag and gave it to him. "Is it bad?"
"I guess," he frowned. "She could not even get up from the bed."
"That sounds bad," Elsa pursed her lips. "Take care of her and make sure she gets enough rest. Sometimes the pain can be unbearable."
