The Proxy Bride. Chapter 20
WHEN Edward woke up early, he smiled because his wife was snuggled against his chest while he hugged her.
“Just now I felt this happy in my life. I know I was happy when I was with Sherry, but now I’m happier with this girl. He wondered if he would ever thank Sherry for leaving him. because her replacement is now his wife. He stared at his wife sleeping soundly in his arms. “Do I like her already?” he asked himself. If he answers it. Yes. He’s already fallen for her. Even though they just got together, they are still strangers to each other.
When the wife moved, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be still asleep.
Rossana woke up a little, as she knew that already in the morning her mind had awakened. And she raised her head and watched her husband, who was still sleeping.
It’s a good thing that they forced her to drink last night. It’s true that alcohol makes you brave. Even though she was dizzy last night, he knew what happened to her and her husband. And she did. She smiled. Did she really do that?
I’m happy because you weren’t drunk when you took me again. I hope everything will be okay from now on. She raised her hand and caressed her husband’s face.
Edward continued to pretend to sleep. Now he thinks that his wife has a feeling for him the way he does. Then their feelings were mutual. He wants to smile but he restrains himself from doing so. You know, he’s pretending to sleep.
When Rossana decided to get up, she planted a kiss on her husband’s lips before standing up.
Edward seemed to want to pull his wife out of what she was doing. Because just after kissing it, his body starts heating up again. But he just let it go, and he woke up when he heard that his wife had entered the bathroom.
He touched his lips and he smiled. “I’ll get up later when he leaves the room.” Hmm, this is nice. I feel so great. This is the life that I want. ” From this day, he’s going to be a good husband to her. He could feel that Rossana was a good wife, and they built up a happy family together until they got older.
When the bathroom door opened, Edward was still pretending to sleep again.
Rossana looks at her husband when she comes out of the bathroom. “He’s still sleeping. Is he off work now? Maybe not, “she answered her own question.
Edward’s eyes peeked at his wife, who was about to change. He swallowed because he could clearly see her rounded thighs.
“Damn, I want to grab her and make love again!”
Rossana looked at her husband again, and Edward pretended to move a little.
When she finished getting dressed because she thought he was still asleep because he was still unmoved from lying down, she decided to go out.
After his wife closed the door, Edward quickly got up and ran into the bathroom. and immediately confess to the shower.
“Ahhh!” he shouted because he felt his body heating up earlier as he caught a glimpse of his wife changing clothes. He knows he’s not like that, but why for his wife, he just looked at her. Her damn body was getting aroused immediately.
Rossana went to the kitchen and found Auntie Nena preparing their breakfast.
“Good morning, Rossana,” auntie Nena greeted when she saw her enter.
“Good morning to you too, auntie,” she greeted with a smile, and the lady smiled at her.
“Auntie, let me help you with what you do.”
“Oh no need, Rossana, I’m about to finish.”
“It’s okay, auntie, if you have something to do, I’ll do it.”
“It’s alright, Rossana, I’m waking up early so I can do what needs to be done for today.”
“You’re hard-working, Auntie.”
“Because I’m used to this kind of work, if I don’t do anything, my body hurts, and it seems that I’m going weak.”
“You’re the same as my mother, Auntie. She’s like that too.” When she mentioned her mother, Rossana felt sad. But she did not reveal it. She didn’t want to see the lady in front of her sadness because, if she saw, she was going to ask many questions that she couldn’t answer.
Because Rossana was always smiling, auntie Nena noticed it.
“You look beautiful today Rossana, your face is glowing. I know why you are like that?”
“Huh? What do you know, Auntie Nena? ” Is that what she was obviously? Because auntie Nena can sense it, what did she do last night?
Auntie Nena smiles. “They say, when a woman, especially if she is married, is happy when she wakes up in the morning, she is pregnant.” She had a crooked smile on her lips when she said this.
“Auntie Nena,” said Rossana, her cheeks suddenly reddened. It’s true what she said, what she and her husband did last night.
“Don’t deny it, Rossana. I’ve experienced that too, especially since Ambo and I were newly married. “Every time I ahhh and ohhh, I’m sure I’ll have a smile the next day,” she said excitedly.
Rossana laughed at what she did.
“Auntie, Are you still doing that ahhh and ohhh now?”
Auntie Nena laughs first.”Rossana, we are already old, and my Ambo has rheumatism. Even if I want to scream like that, I can’t because my uterus is dry now. ”
“Oh, what’s that I hear, Nena? Why is my name getting involved?” They didn’t notice Uncle Ambo’s entry.
“Oh nothing, Ambo, Rossana and I were just talking.”
“I thought there’s something. Are you not yet done? I’m hungry now. ”
“I’m done. Come on, Rossana, go to the garden. I will just finish this last one. ”
“Auntie Nena, doesn’t Edward not work this Friday?”
“There is Rossana, even on Saturdays or weekends, as long as someone calls his business partner, he will work.”
“He’s hardworking, auntie.”
“What you say is that your husband is a workaholic. I hope it will be reduced because he’s married now and concentrating on you so that in a few months a baby was coming right. ”
Rossana smiled at what Auntie Nena said. She too hoped that this would happen to them. It is possible that they have already slept together. But she thinks Edward knows what to do because he hates her for what they did to him.
because of Rossana’s sudden silenced. “Rossana, tell your husband, don’t work too hard now, okay.”
Rossana looked at the lady. “Auntie, just like you said, if our body is used to working and you suddenly reduce it, it might weaken.”
“Then you must do something, Rossana, make him stronger and give him energy,” she said with a smile.
“Auntie, really, you!”
“Come on, Rossana, let go. I’ll call sir Edward. Please just bring this garlic fried rice. ”
“I think he’s still asleep, auntie.”
“Did you tire him last night, Rossana?” she teased.
“Auntie Nena,” she said quietly, because it was true.
The lady laughs at Rossana’s reaction.
“I’ll see if he’s still asleep. You’ll have breakfast first maybe he still sleeping. ”
Rossana when first in the garden. When the lady came out of the kitchen, Edward was already downstairs, and he was dressed to go to work.
“Good morning, sir. It’s good you came down. I was going to call you to have breakfast. “Are you going to your office now?”
“Yes auntie, I have to sign a lot of documents today.”
“Oh, okay, Rossana is already in the garden.”
“Okay, auntie.”
Together they went to the garden.
“Good morning,” Edward greeted Rossana.
“Go—good morning too,” she greeted with a quiver.
“Eat,” said Edward.
As usual, they didn’t say anything while eating; they just looked at each other.
Edward quickly finished eating and immediately stood up.
“Alright, I’m leaving. Auntie eats with, Rossana.”
When she called him by her name last night, he said, “Sweetheart.” Yeah, what she said to Mica was right. They are back to the way they were before.
“Oh, sir, did you finish eating?”
“I have an important meeting now, so I’m leaving.”
He looked at his wife. He wanted to approach her for a kiss before he left, but he refrained from doing so and left without saying goodbye.
Rossana was disappointed by what he did.
“I thought we were okay!” Suddenly, she lost the appetite to eat, so she immediately stood up.
“Oh, you are done too, Rossana?”
“Yes, auntie!” she answered sadly.
The couple looked at each other. because they felt the sadness in Rossana’s voice.
When Edward arrived at his office, he frowned because he saw his friend Al sitting while he was waiting for him.
He immediately approached him in the waiting area for office visitors.
“Oh bro, what are you doing here in my office so early?”
“I have something to tell you, bro.”
“It seems important because you visited me here.”
“Well, what I’m going to tell you is important to me. I just don’t know if you’ll agree.”
Edward stared at his friend. It seemed strange to him now.
“Aren’t you inviting me into your office, bro?”
“Of course, you come inside.” Al stood up.
They were about to enter the office, where Edward turned to the secretary.
“Ah, Lucy. If I have a meeting later, cancel it first. ”
“Yes sir, but I think your meeting is important. Should I still cancel?”
Edward thought before answering his secretary.
“Well just adjust the time, Lucy, maybe two hours before my meeting.”
“Okay sir, I will do that.”
When they entered Edward’s office, Al sat down in front of Edward’s table.
So, bro, tell me what we are going to talk about? How important is it? ” Edward asked him immediately.
“About, Rosanna,” said Al directly.
Edward frowned when Al mentioned his wife’s name. “What about her, bro?”
“I will talk straight, bro.”
“Okay, what?”
“Bro, we know the state of your relationship with Rossana, and we also know that you don’t know her right.”
“Bro, what do you mean, tell me right away?”
“I like you, Rossana, bro!”
Edward clenched his fist on his thigh.
“Now what do you want to happen, bro?” His voice was still formal. But in truth, he wanted to hit his friend for what he said.
Before I answer that, bro, I’ll ask you first.
“Sure, what is that?”
“Rossana is beautiful, kind, well I can see it even though I’ve only seen her twice. My question is, don’t you feel anything for her at least a little bit, bro? Let’s just say it was love at first sight. Oh, I think it’s because you love Sh… it turns out to be your ex. ”
“That’s not an easy question to answer, bro.”
“Oh common, Edward, I’ll admit it to you, the first time I saw Rossana, I liked her. Like what I said to you, love at first sight That hit me. And that I realized last night that I didn’t just like her; my heart is telling me that I love her. ”
Edward laughed out loud. “Wow wow, that’s how fast bro, Oh, common Al, I know you, you’re a certified playboy! ”
“Bro, now I believe in what they say is love at first sight. That’s what I feel for Rossana.”
“So, you’re telling me now that I should let her go, right?”
“Yes bro, if you don’t have any feelings for her, why not? It’s easy for you, especially since you don’t love her, but I love her.”
“When did you feel that you loved her, bro?” Well, you only met her at my wedding and last night? So, impossible. ”
“I woke up this morning, I immediately looked for her. I want to see her. In other words, I miss her!”
Edward clenched his fist. “If I say now that I won’t let her go because I’m not done with her yet, Because they tricked me.
“What do you want to do to her, bro? You hurt her because of what they did to you. If that’s your plan for her, please let her go. She doesn’t deserve your revenge. You know she’s a good woman. I can see it in her. ”
“Al, is that you? If what they did to me happened to you, You feel the same way I do. ”
“Bro, they say we are in the same head. But our brains are different. Maybe I won’t do what you did. ”
Edward was speechless. He stared at his friend. He could see he was serious.
“Bro, if you only hurt her. I gave her to me because I knew I would love her honestly. ” Undoubtedly, Al’s said.
“If I tell you that something has happened to us, do you still accept and love her?”
“Yes, bro,” he answered directly.
“You are crazy! Oh, am I correct to say, “Crazy for you, Al!”
“Say what you want. I can only say one thing, Edward. Divorce her, then I will marry her. ”
They both stared at each other and seemed to be searching for what they were feeling.
Edward wanted to shout to his friend that he loved his wife already.
“You still haven’t answered my question, bro. Don’t you have even the slightest feelings for Rossana?”
“I can only tell you one thing, bro. I don’t let her go. We will be together even without that love.”
“You’re selfish bro. Okay, if that’s what you want, but remember this, I’ll date her even if you’re still married. Is that okay with you?”
If she answers you that she will like you, I will give up and let her go.
“Deal, I know you have one word. “Alright bro, I’m leaving now.”
He was restless, walking around thinking. “Alright, bro,” when his friend came out of his office, he said.
“Ahhh, no. I will not allow you to have Rossana, Al,” he said firmly to himself.
Edward’s mind isn’t in his work anymore. He seemed to think that maybe his friend had gone to see his wife. He took his cell phone and called their house.
When the telephone rang at Edward’s house, auntie Nena quickly answered it.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hello Auntie Nena, this is Edward.”
“Oh, sir, why were you called? Did you need or forget something? ”
“Auntie, what did Rossana do?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“She’s in your room; do you want to talk to her, sir? I’ll call her.”
“No Auntie, wait, isn’t anyone going there?”
“Is no one coming here, sir?”
“Ah okay, auntie, I just asked.”
“Is there anything I can do for you, sir?”
“Ah, auntie, please tell Rossana that she cooks our lunch. I will go home to have lunch there.”
“Sir, I’ll just cook.”
She is Auntie. Maybe she knows how to cook, and after all, she didn’t do anything, right? “You do another thing, auntie, let Rossana cook for us,” he ordered.
“Oh, okay, sir, I’ll tell her, what do you want her to cook?”
“Anything as long as she cooks. Go ahead, auntie, because I have something else to do, “he immediately turned off the cell phone.
He smiled because Al didn’t go to their house.
Auntie Nena immediately went upstairs to tell Rossana about what Edward had told her.
“Rossana,” she said while knocking on the door.
“Just a moment, auntie,” she said as she jumped out of bed and headed for the door.
“Why, Auntie, do you have something you want me to do?”
“I don’t have it, but your husband does.”
“Huh? What did he want me to do, auntie?
“He just requested that you cook for lunch, so come to the kitchen and he’ll be here later.”
Rossana was suddenly excited by what she said, so she quickly went downstairs with auntie Nena.
“Auntie, what did he say what he wanted to eat so that I could prepare it now?”
“He said it’s up to you what you cook.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it, Auntie.”
“Okay, whatever you cook is all in the fridge. Whatever you want, tell me so we tell Ambo to buy it.”
“Go ahead, auntie, if you do something.”
When Auntie Nena left, she started looking at what she would cook for her husband.
Rosana was happy while preparing the ingredients to be used in her cooking. It’s good that she knew something about cooking when she was at the restaurant. She would peek into the kitchen sometimes, watching how the cooks
An hour passed, and she finished cooking three dishes. A sweet and sour fish, chop suey, and adobo of mixed pork and chicken.
“You move so fast, Rossana, you finished cooking right away.”
“Because I’m used to working in the kitchen, auntie.”
“Oh, go take a bath because you smell like a dish. I’ll take care of preparing it so that when Edward comes you’ll smell good.” She winked.
The sweet smile on Rossana’s lips didn’t disappear. “All right, auntie,” she said as she rushed up to take a quick shower because she had already taken one this morning.
When she got off, someone rang the doorbell.
Auntie Nena was about to go to see who was outside when Rossana stopped her.
“Auntie Nena, I will do it.” She wanted to be the one to meet her husband.
“Oh, okay Rossana, maybe it’s sir, he hasn’t entered his car inside.”
Rossana immediately went to the small gate and prepared her sweet smile for her husband.
When she opened the gate, she was surprised to see who was outside.
