The Proxy Bride. Chapter 12
ROSSANA looked at the man. She saw his eyes ready to punch someone in annoyance or anger. She really needs to go home to look after her mother. “I am right, aren’t I? We don’t know each other. I’m sorry for what we did to you!”
“I’m sorry that words aren’t enough. No, you’re not yet paid for what you did to me!” And he drove the car again.
Hasn’t she been paid for what happened to them? Yes, she knows that her virginity is not worth a million, but she will give it to the man who will love her, and he will just take it just like that.”So, that you can’t think of anything or be responsible for me, just let me go. Then I knew this was the last time we would see each other. ” she continues to talk maybe he can think about it.
She said it was right, for him. It’s nothing the money he spent on the wedding. He just let the girl go and his life went back to normal. He just thought that Sherry had cheated him. But in a corner of his mind, it says that. Don’t let her go, so this is what he did. ” I said, ‘No, stop talking, do you!’ ” His voice was irritated.
Rossana didn’t say a word anymore. She knew his mind was closed due to anger.
Edward stopped the car in front of a large gate. There was anger in his eyes, and he looked at the neighbor. ” This house, I would have given a surprise gift to her, but what did she do, leaving me and go to another man? I can’t forgive you for what you did to me, Sherry, as well as the woman you were using,” Edward said to himself and clenched his fist.
Rossana could clearly see the man’s clenched fist. She felt her heart tremble. And she said to herself that her life would be miserable with him. She also looked at the house that Edward was looking at.
Beautiful house looks like a mansion. Who does that belong to? Rossana thought.
“Let’s go down,” Edward said weakly as he went down.
Rossana didn’t hear what he said because she was concentrating on looking at the house. And she asked herself, “Where did he go? Why did he come down?
Edward waits for her to get out so he can lock the car.
Edward frowned because a few seconds had passed and the woman hadn’t gotten out of the car. “Damn! What is this woman doing? Why hasn’t she come down yet? ” He approached her side and knocked on the car window.
Rossana nervously rolled down the car window. “W—-why?” she asked.
“Why? You’re deaf! Didn’t I say, let’s go down!” Edward said, irritated.
“Huh?” “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear what you said,” she said politely.
“Really, you are deaf? What are you doing there? Come down now!” he said rudely.
Rossana was panicked and quickly got down. and followed Edward, who first walked towards the gate of the house. Then he rang the doorbell.
“Nena, look who’s outside because I’m doing something.” “Mang Ambo,” he said to his wife, who is the caretaker of the house. It had been renovated for a long time, and Edward asked someone to live in the house while he and Sherry were not yet married.
The lady immediately went to the gate to see who was outside. When he opened it, she was surprised to see who was outside.
“Oh, Sir Edward, it’s you. I’m sorry if it took me a while to open the gate. ”
“It’s okay, auntie Nena, uncle Ambo, where is he?”
“He’s upstairs, sir, there’s something he’s doing there, come in.”
Edward entered immediately. Rossana doesn’t know if she will follow. So she just stood outside.
The lady looked at the woman. “Sir, are you with her?” she asked Rossana.
Edward wanted to mention her name, but he couldn’t recall of it. “Can you not be dumb there come inside?”
Rossana was like a robot who immediately went inside. She was ashamed of the woman in front of them because of what Edward had said.
“Auntie Nena, prepare lunch for us. We’ll eat it here. ”
“Alright sir, let me tell to, Ambo, that he will go to the market first.”
When they entered the house together, Edward took some money and handed it to the lady.
“Ambo, go down there first; Sir Edward is here,” the lady shouted at her husband.
“Yes, I’m coming,” he answered, and ran downstairs.
“Good morning, sir,” he greeted him he didn’t notice the woman who was standing in Edward back.
“The same goes for you, uncle Ambo.”
Rossana just listens to their conversation without saying a word, but her eyes roam around the whole house.
“This house is really beautiful. The outside is beautiful, but the inside is even more beautiful,” she said to herself.
“Sir, who is he?” Uncle Ambo asked when he saw the woman.
“She’s—” What would he say really he can’t remember her name.”My wife,” he said bluntly.
Rossana’s heart was pounding because of what he said my wife.
My wife it was nice to hear, but she knew he was forced to say it.
“Sir, she isn’t the—”
“Ambo, sir said, they will eat here, so you will go to the market and take the money,” his wife cut him off to prevent him from continuing and made her eyes widen at him.
“Oh fine, I’ll leave you for now, sir.” Ambo said.
“Alright, uncle Ambo, we’ll check the whole house first.”
“Oh, Nena, join them,” he said to his wife before leaving.
“There’s no need, auntie Nena; if you’re going to do something, do it; let us take care of ourselves.””Edward said to the lady.
“Alright sir, if that’s what you want, I’m doing something in the kitchen.”
“Alright, do it,” Edward replied. The lady immediately left the two.
Edward simply looked at Rossana without saying a word, and he could see the admiration in her eyes at what she saw.
“You like it?” he suddenly asked.
Rossana suddenly turned to him. “Huh? Which one? ”
There was irritation in Edward’s voice. “Is it obvious that I said the house? Am I talking about myself!”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Apologies.” Rossana replied to him.
“You know, You’re just saying sorry. Can you use your senses or your brain if you have that? Oh, I think you don’t have that, because if you had it, you wouldn’t be able to deceive people, especially me! ”
Rossana bowed at what he said. She seemed to want to cry because of what he said to her. His words were really hurting. But she ignored it because he was right.
Edward suddenly felt pity for the woman as she bowed. He realized that he was being very rude to her.
“I’m sorry if I was too rude to you. I can’t help myself, especially when I think about what you did to me.” He went up first. Rossana followed.
When he said sorry, she felt better. She also knew how to say sorry. She remembered what Mica had told her, that he was kind. But how come he was kind? He’s like a professor who terrorizes the class.
They went around the whole house, looking at each room one by one.
He hurriedly finished the house because he was going to give it as a surprise gift to Sherry. When their honeymoon is over, they will go straight to this house and
“Is this your house?” Rossana couldn’t stop herself from asking.
“Yes, and this is where we will live.”
“Here?” Rossana repeated.
“What I said is clear, isn’t it?” He said, irritated. The last one they entered was the master bedroom.
“Wow!” Rossana said in a low tone. But it still reached Edward’s hearing.
“This is our room.”
Rossana looked at him. “Y—you mean… let’s sleep next to each other?”
“Does a married couple sleep separately?” Edward called back to her.
Rossana was speechless at what he said.
Edward approached the bed and touched it, squeezing it to see if it was soft. “Hmmm! Nice bed! So soft, nice to sleep in!” He sat down, then lay down, and his eyes closed.
Rossana looked at him and smiled. Because she could see he had an innocent look now. ” It must be nice to be next to him while leaning on his arm while we lie down and hug each other. I hope so,” Rossana said to herself while staring at her lying husband.
Hey Rossana, it’s free to dream, right? Don’t you still expect that it will be gentle with you? said the voice in Rossana’s mind.
Rossana would nod her head in agreement.
She just stood there waiting for Edward to get up, but ten minutes had passed and he was still lying down. Her feet became tired from standing. She thought he was asleep, so she slowly came closer to him, staring at his face.
Mica is right, he is handsome. Why did Sherry trade him for that man? Well, this man is more handsome, and he is also rich. ”
Edward felt as if someone was watching him and he suddenly opened his eyes. And their eyes met with the woman who was looking at him. He could clearly see Rossana’s eyes widening, and she was blushing. He knew why he coughed at her while looking at him.
Edward smiled secretly due to the sudden reddening of her cheeks. “What can you say about my appearance? Did you study well? So tell me, so I know how many grades I will give you. If you pass or fail? ”
“Huh?” Only Rossana answered. She was about to turn away because of embarrassment, but suddenly the man grabbed both hands around her waist and pulled her to lie down on the bed.
