My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 107: Chance Ignored Her

"Why would you say that?" Samantha asked Jack.

"Did you ever see Chance in sweatpants?" Jack asked her.

Samantha recollected, she saw him in trackpants, jeans, shorts but never in sweatpants, so she shook her head.

"Exactly, that's because he wears them only when his temper is bad, like worse. Chance in sweatpants means, you should not mess with him. If you do, you will get it back very hard" Jack informed her.

"Oh" Samantha started feeling guilty for her actions, she thought Chance would be a bit upset but didn't expect his mood to be this bad.

Chance walked over to them but he didn't look at anyone in particular, he was clearly in a very bad mood.

"Who upset you?" Carol asked him, seeing his state.

"None of your business" Chance rudely replied to her and looked at Abigail, "Where's the food?" He asked her.

She pointed at their barbecue, Chance robotically stepped towards it and started cooking.

"What is wrong with him?" Jack asked Abigail.

"No idea, but he is in very low spirits. I had to emotionally blackmail him to make him join us." She informed.

"This guy" Mia helplessly shook her head.

"I'll help him with cooking" Samantha said, she walked away from them and approached Chance.

They let her be and hoped her presence might improve his mood.

Chance was seriously setting the barbecue when Samantha walked towards him, "Chance, about earlier" 

Chance ignored her and he walked away from there.

His friends who saw this realized Chance was upset with Samantha, they understood something happened between them.

"Let them be, they will sort out things by themselves." David firmly warned everyone, clearly asking them to not interfere.

They all agreed with David but Carol was very happy with the turn of events.

Chance went to some staff member to discuss something and went back to the barbecue, on the way he asked David and Jack to join him, so they did.

Samantha, Chance, Jack and David were preparing the food at the barbecue, while Carol, Mia and Abigail sat at the wooden table.

Samantha was not able to talk to Chance at all due to Jack and David's presence and if any time she managed to talk to Chance, he ignores her and engages David and Jack in some mundane conversation.

Samantha then felt the weight of her words and realized how much she must have offended him. She wanted to apologize to him for her behaviour but he was not giving her an opportunity to talk.

There was one dish, Chance didn't know how to make it as it was a local famous dish of San Diego, so Samantha took in-charge and prepared it, while Jack assisted her.

"Chance, did you and Sam fight?" David asked him in a low volume. They were standing a bit away from Samantha and Jack who were busy preparing the local dish.

"I don't want to talk about it" Chance was clearly not in the mood to talk about whatever it was.

"Dude, if there is"

"David, don't irritate me"

After this David didn't ask him anything as Chance was clearly very annoyed. It was not a small matter is what he concluded so he decided to let Chance be.

The three girls sitting at the table, talked about random stuff. If at all Carol tried to bring up the topic of Chance and Samantha, then Mia and Abigail quickly changed the topic as they didn't intend to entertain Carol anymore.

"I'll check with Chance" Carol decided to talk to him as right now Chance was seriously preparing food and was alone.

"Carol, no" Abigail warned her.

"Abi, you are not my mom. Don't you dare control me. The love of my life is in a bad mood, and I have to see what is wrong with him." Carol went against Abigail and stepped towards Chance.

Samantha whose concentration was on the dish she was preparing, was distracted when she saw Carol and Chance together.

Unlike how Chance was with her earlier, ignoring and upset.

He surprisingly entertained Carol and didn't avoid her, agitating Samantha.

"Sam, what happened?" Jack called her as she seemed lost.

"Sorry, nothing happened." Samantha warmly smiled and continued cooking but her whole attention was on Chance and Carol, although she couldn't hear what they were talking about, she was trying to study their body language.

"Chance, do you need any help?" Carol asked him as soon as she approached the cold guy.

"Carol, you don't know anything about cooking, how can you help me?" Chance sarcastically asked her.

"I can give you company while you are preparing these dishes" She smiled at him.

"No need, you can go and wait with others, I'll call you when I am done and the food is prepared."

"Chance, do you hate me now?" Carol suddenly had tears in her eyes and she looked at him pitifully.

Chance finally lifted his head and he looked at Carol, seeing the tears in her eyes, he sighed helplessly.

"Carol, I don't hate you. How can I hate you?" He said to console her.

Carol stepped forward and suddenly hugged him, there on the other end Samantha who saw them hugging each other, brutally cut a chicken into two halves, scaring Jack. 

In reflex Jack turned in the direction of where Samantha was looking and when he saw Carol hug Chance, he realized why Samantha butchered the chicken so brutally.

He moved away from her and stepped towards David, who was cutting the vegetables.

"Dude, Samantha is so scary" Jack whispered to David.

David, who was seriously cutting the vegetables was startled by Jack's statement and looked at him in confusion.

Jack then signalled him to look at Chance on their left and Samantha on their right.

When David saw Carol hug Chance, and Chance stroking her head, he realized what happened and then he turned to his right and saw Samantha calmly preparing the food.

David could feel a murderous aura around her. He worked with many assassins so he was not foreign to such vibes, he understood Samantha saw the two people and is agitated.

He was not sure, if he should be happy about it as this implied Samantha was jealous which meant she too has feelings for Chance or he should be worried about his friend who might face Danger-Ace's anger after some time.

David then looked at Jack, who was a bit terrified by Samantha.

"Dude, she must be jealous. Aren't Abi and Mia also very scary when they get jealous and don't they torture us?" David said as a matter-of-fact trying to cover up for Samantha's anger.

"True, but the vibe from Samantha is scarier than Abi's"

"Her situation is also different from Abi. Abi is dating you and she does not have an annoying love rival like Carol" David explained, Jack was convinced.

"You are right" Jack agreed with him.

"Cut these vegetables, I'll help Samantha" David handed over the vegetable section to Jack and he joined Samantha.

"Sam, do you need some help?" David smiled at her.

"Hmm, if you can help me cut them, it would be great" Samantha said.

"Sure"

David then calmly helped Samantha and when he looked over, he saw Carol was not hugging Chance anymore and they were just talking.

David was relieved to see them not hugging.

"I hope you are not bored with us" David initiated a conversation with Samantha.

"No, I am not. You people are nice" Samantha said just to be polite. The truth is she didn't care about anyone's presence. She was indifferent towards people who don't matter to her.

Her attention was still on Carol and Chance, although she was preparing food.

"It was really amazing spending time with you like this" David said.

"Hmm, same here" Samantha was responding to him but David could see how lost and disturbed she was.

"Like I told you before. Carol is the last person you need to be worried about" David answered her insecure thoughts as he felt he should assure her.

"Why is she so into Chance? As if no other man exists in this world" Samantha frustratedly said.

David laughed at her sentence; he didn't expect Samantha to openly show him how much she is bothered by Carol's presence around Chance. He was expecting her to ignore him.

"She was kind of attached to him. He is handsome, funny and gives a very gentlemanly vibe. She was attracted to him for a long time so it is not easy for her to give up so easily"

"In spite of Chance being in love with someone else?" Samantha questioned David, referring to herself. 

David nodded his head, "Yes in spite of Chance being in love with someone else because the person he is in love with is not in love with him. This gave Carol more hopes" David informed her that indirectly she is the reason why Carol still harbours her feelings.
