My Wife Is A Secret Assassin
Chapter 27: Trauma

"Here, is the order for my favorite customers" The waiter placed their order on the table, "We don't personally serve anyone but you two" He smiled at them.

"You are the best" Samantha flashed her lady-like smile at him.

The waiter happily left.

"Yeah, so for winter…."

"Samantha, do you like that guy?" Bill came straight on point as he knows with Samantha if one talks in a round about manner then she too would answer them like that and would never come on point.

"No, I don't" Samantha avoided looking into Bill's eyes and indulged herself in the food.

Bill chuckled, "Liar, I am glad you finally like someone."

"I just said I don't" She angrily glared at him.

"Is his phobia troubling you?" Bill was the one who dug information on Chance on Samantha's request when she was in Hawaii so he knew everything about Chance that she knows.

Samantha sighed in defeat, "You are not going to give up and will continue bothering me until I give you an answer?"

"Not any answer, the truth, true answer is what I want."

"Honestly, I am not sure what my feelings for him are but I want to stay away from him for sure because of his phobia."

"Did he tell you about his phobia?" Bill asked her.

Samantha shook her head implying he didn't.

"Let him tell you then you make a decision" Bill suggested.

"No Bill, it is wrong, he was traumatized as a child and if I approach him in spite of knowing his trauma then it is obviously not fair and being someone who went through a trauma, how can I do this to someone else, intentionally?"

Bill kept quiet as he didn't expect Samantha will mention the most sensitive topic of her life, 'Her Trauma', this topic was a taboo in their lives and they never talked about it and neither mentioned it as Samantha herself once made this request but today she herself mentioned it which implied how serious she is about Chance's trauma and she would never approach him.

"What if he would like you in spite of knowing who you are" Bill was not ready to give up so easily, it was a miracle for him that Samantha actually likes someone in her life, even if partially she likes someone.

He was always worried about her, how she would survive after he leaves this world.

Her trauma is something that never allows her to be with any man, it was a matter of concern for him so when he saw Chance and the interaction between him and Samantha, a hope rose in Bill's heart.

But now Samantha's outright rejection again poured water on his hopes.

Bill decided to not pursue this topic anymore and took the envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table casually.

The two then continued eating their meals and talked about flowers.
