Chapter 23 My Rich Husband
Eden looked around and asked, “Where is he?”
Lavanya turned and found him standing near the bar. She pointed at him with her finger, and Eden’s eyes moved in the direction of her finger. He raged in anger when he looked at that boy.
He went near him with anger raging in his body. He held him by the collar. “Gavin Rodriguez, How can you dare to touch her?
“I love her!” Gavin said loudly. Lavanya was shocked after hearing this.
“Dare to say this again, and you will open your eyes in the hospital next morning.” Eden threatened him.
“I love her!” Gavin said again, and this time, Eden punched him hard on the face, and the corner of his mouth started bleeding. Sarah came running near them with Charles and yelled at Eden, “Have you gone mad? He is Mr. Aaron Rodriguez’s son. Your behavior will land us in great troubles.”
“I am not scared of any Aaron Rodriguez like you. After all, I run my business with my own hard work and intelligence. It’s your business that runs with the support of Mr. Aaron Rodriguez.” He said, glaring at her.
“Eden!” Charles shouted in anger. “Stop this! You’re embarrassing us.”
“Nothing is new. You always feel I embarrass you.” Eden said with a smirk.
“This girl has driven you crazy, Eden.” Sarah pointed at Lavanya.
“I will not listen to a single word about her. She is my everything.” He held Lavanya’s hand, who was scared after witnessing everything that happened, looked at Sarah, and said, “I don’t want to stay here anymore. I am leaving.”
“Brother, the ball hasn’t ended yet. How can you leave?” Jaime asked.
“I know that I should stay here, but I am doing this for Lavanya. Look at her. She is not looking fine.” He touched Jaime’s cheek.
Jaime looked at Lavanya, and then back at Eden. “I understand, brother.” She carefully hugged Lavanya and said, “Take care of yourself.”
Lavanya nodded and went out of the farmhouse with Eden. Ray and other bodyguards followed them.
Eden opened the car door for Lavanya, helped her to sit inside, and sat beside her. The driver started driving, and Ray followed them, sitting in another car.
“I am sorry! I embarassed you at the party.” Lavanya said in a low voice.
Eden held her in his arms and kissed her forehead. “It’s alright. You can never embarass me and I don’t care about them.”
She hugged him, and their entire car ride passed in silence. The car stopped in front of the mansion, and he helped her to get out of the car. They entered the mansion, and he took her inside her room.
“Change your gown and sleep. Don’t worry about anything.” He placed his hand on her cheek.
She nodded, and he left her room. She changed into comfortable clothes and went to bed. She was thinking about everything that happened at the ball with her. She felt hungry and went downstairs inside the kitchen. She tried to find something in the refrigerator to eat but didn’t find anything except the fruits, the raw vegetables, and some frozen snacks.
“I don’t want to eat these. What should I do? Aunt Bella must’ve fallen asleep by now.” She thought, scratching her head.
She went upstairs and knocked on the door of Eden’s bedroom. He was also thinking about everything that happened at the Ball. He opened the door and got worried when he saw Lavanya.
“Are you feeling alright?” He asked.
“I am hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since noon.” She said, making a sad face. He smiled, held her hand, and went downstairs with her. He entered the kitchen with her and started searching for something to eat.
He found a packet of pasta and asked her, “Would you like to eat pasta?”
“Yes, but I don’t know how to cook. Who will cook it?” He smiled at her question and pointed towards himself. She raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief, “You know how to cook?”
“Watch me.” He said, tying an apron around his waist.
He poured water into the pan and started boiling the pasta. While the pasta was boiling, he took out the vegetables from the refrigerator and chopped them.
Lavanya was enjoying watching him working in the kitchen. He was looking very handsome in an apron.
After the pasta was boiled, he cooked the vegetables and prepared white sauce. He added the vegetables and pasta into it, and mixed them well. He served it in two plates and passed one plate to Lavanya. “Try this and praise me.”
She ate a spoonful of pasta. “It’s so delicious.”
“Thank you.”
“A rich husband who can also cook for me. How lucky I am?” She smiled, looking at him.
“Husband? Miss Lavanya, we aren’t married yet.” He said, taking a bite of his pasta.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“But I am going to marry you, sooner or later. You told me to accept it, my rich husband.” She said and winked at him.
“Don’t make me feel that you’re going to marry me for my money.” He said, seriously.
“Sorry, you know I really didn’t mean this.” She said with a pout.
He held her from the waist and kissed her forehead. They finished their pasta and went to their rooms. They both forgot everything that happened at the Ball and slept peacefully.

Gavin was talking to Aaron. “Dad, Eden insulted me in front of everyone and also punched me. I shouldn’t have listened to you and shouldn’t have done what you wanted me to do.”
“Don’t worry, Son. I will be coming back soon. I will deal with Charles when I get free from all these meetings. I am busy right now. Take care of yourself.” Aaron said and was about to disconnect the call when Gavin said, “Dad wait, I am not understanding this. Why did you ask me to molest Lavanya? What are you planning to do with her and Eden?”
“You will know it when the time comes. Thank you Son.” The call disconnected and Gavin looked at the blank screen of the phone in confusion.

The starting days of November were going on. Charles was sitting inside his cabin. His phone started ringing. He picked it up to answer and saw Aaron’s name flashing on the screen. He answered it, and before he could greet Aaron, he got the most shocking news.
