She finally quieted down and Akande heaved a sigh of relief.
Comforting a crying woman was always a difficult experience. The last time he had tried to console a crying woman was a horrible experience he did not want to remember.
His ex-wife had broken into tears when he confronted her with evidence of her infidelity. She had burst into heart-wrenching sobs while blaming him for her adultery.
She said he was never at home and was always away on business trips that he refused to take her on, even though she was willing to accompany him.
So he had felt guilty and pleaded with her to stop crying. Remembering it now brought a wry smile to his mouth. She had cheated and he was the one who ended up begging her. He even tried to repair the marriage but it eventually fell apart.
NK jolted him out of his reverie when she got up and said she was going to the rest room to wash her face.
When she returned, he watched her approach, appreciating the curve of her breasts and the flare of her hips. He gave himself a stern reminder that all he wanted was her body, nothing more.
