Marriage and Annulment

“I was curious as to why Davianna didn’t stop chasing you. Are you sure that you courted her before and nothing else? ” Mitch asked me, out of nowhere.

“Of course, what do you think, aside from the fact that I’ve just courted her?” I asked her.

“Nothing, I’m just a little curious,” Mitch says.

I looked at her and our faces were about an inch apart. If she moves I’m sure I kissed her lips.

“Seriously? Why do I seem to notice that there is jealousy in the tone of your voice? Always think this: she’s nothing compared to you. I love you more. That always matters.

“Okay,” Mitch said, and smiled at me sweetly.

It was six o’clock in the evening when we arrived at a classy restaurant. I shook my head. When Duke is really with me, this is where we really go. What should be consumed with expensive foods here will be exhausted. It’s not that I’m saving Mitch, but I know she eats everywhere, so I’ll just leave it to Amara because she’s rich. But based on what I see of Amara, she’s not the one like others who say a lot and act like a spoiled brat. We stood in the corner. When we sat down, the waiter approached us. Mitch and Amara have already ordered for us. When the waiter left, we just waited for our food.

“By the way, it’s my birthday next week. You two are invited,” said Amara.

“Seriously? It’s okay that we’re going? ” I said.

“Why not? And one thing Duke will face my family. He’s embarrassed to tell you, maybe you might laugh at him.” Amara said, while smiling.

“Really, Duke? Did you have the courage?” I asked him.

“It’s scary, but I can handle it,” said Duke.

He’s not smiling. What else can I do? It’s also crossed my mind, what if Mitch’s parents might not like me. So I feel what Duke possibly felt today.

“If you don’t want to be accepted, Duke, run away and take Amara and live far away. You both had a nice way of living because you both have jobs. ” Mitch’s suggestion.

“Really, Mitch? Would you do the same if your parents didn’t like Zander? ” Duke asked.

“Yes, it’s okay. But why would they be so picky? They’re even thankful that someone loved their daughter who graduated and had a nice job compared to their daughter who didn’t even finish school, “said Mitch passionately.

I held her hand. I would have spoken when Amara spoke first.

“Don’t be self-pitiful, Mitch, there’s no measure and status in living when it comes to love. So all you have to do is treasure every moment you’re with Zander. What about those people who have everything they want because they have a lot of money? But they’re not happy?” said Amara. I smiled.

“Thank you, Amara, you’re a good friend,” Mitch said.

Amara smiled.

“Seriously? Do you consider me one of your friends?” Amara asked, as if in disbelief.

Mitch laughs.

“Why do you seem so surprised? Don’t you have any friends? Why do you see anyone else besides me?”

Amara shook her head.

“We just met in the coffee shop, Amara, so I don’t know what else you’re doing,” said Mitch.

“The truth is, I don’t like to make friends. One close friend will do.” said Amara.

“You’ll find many friends, especially now that you’re a full-fledged doctor,” said Mitch.

“Seriously? Congratulations, Amara.” I said.

“Thank you, Zander.”

“That’s why you should go on Sunday, my birthday, and the celebration of my disappearance as a doctor in one celebration. I’ll just wait,” said Amara to us.

“When is that?”

“On Sunday,” Amara replied.

“I’m so proud of you because it’s not a joke to pass the doctor’s exam, but you did it, sweetheart,” said Duke passionately.

“Aww, thank you, sweetheart. I’m in touch. I love you. ” Amara replied.

“I love you too.”

“That’s enough, maybe you forgot we’re here at the restaurant because we’re going to eat, not flirting and saying sweet words,” said Mitch.

We all laughed.

It really happened that we didn’t get home to Genie’s house. So here we go to sleep in the tree house. The tree house is spacious, so it fits us all. And there are more pillows, curtains, and two beds. And there’s actually an emergency light, so it’s not dark. Their trip was also different.

“Miss, are you okay?” Lucianna asked me.

“I’m okay, I’m happy with our get-together. I’ve only just experienced something like this now. I felt happy. ” I replied, as she followed me to the balcony.

I even heard the rumble of the waterfall. And the darkness all around. I wasn’t scared to think because we were up in the trees.

“Are they all asleep yet?” I asked.

“They’re lying down one by one, Miss. Maybe they’re tired from walking. They’re not used to it anymore because we’ve been in the city for so long, ” she replied.

“Who thought of making this tree house?” I asked her.

“Actually, Miss. I’m the one who planned this. This was really my hiding place before. Ever since my ex-boyfriend left me, who became my child’s father, because of my sadness, hurt, and everything else I’m feeling. It even got to the point where all my anger seemed to pile up. And go in, my child. It’s not physical. But I don’t pay attention to him. My mother always takes care of him. So he loves my mother more than me. But he knows as he grows up that I am his real mother, “said Lucianna in a smiling voice.

She’s a fragile woman. easily hurt compared to Lazzy and the rest of the girls. Lucianna is really modest when it comes to behavior and beautiful too. But she was still hurt by the man she loved.

“How are you today? Your heart?”

“So far, I’m okay. I have moved on from my past. And it’s been a long time, but the fear is still there. I really feel, Miss, like I don’t want to be involved with a man again. “said Lucianna.

“You really can’t. Avoid being afraid. But being hurt is part of life. Many more men will come into your life. It’s not always the pain you will experience. But it still hurts to lose a parent. I’m the only one. I really remember them. But it’s good that all of you are with me,” I said.

“We are always here for you. As long as your salary is not exhausted by us, we have a new job to be your company’s employee, “said Lucianna.

“Yes. If I can give all of you the best of life, why not? So, while all of you are not yet getting older, you shouldn’t miss the opportunities that come. ”

Our conversation was interrupted when my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and Randolf called.

“Hello, Randolf, How’s your day? ” I asked her.

“So good, Miss, and no investors have visited here yet. So go home before they come,” he says on the other line. I’m laughing.

“I enjoy myself here. I really don’t want to go home. How was Mang Celso going there? ” I asked. So far, it’s okay, Miss, the document is on the table first. And then the record of the money was released, ” Randolf replied.

“Thank you. Do you want a day off? When’s your girlfriend’s anniversary? Have maldives. I’ll treat you. I’m the one to take care of all the expenses.” I told him.

I still seem to remember that Randolf never really asked me to leave for vacation, even if he was sick. He even preferred to work for the company and work. Because I know that a man has the ability to feel his pain when it comes to normal sickness like colds and fever. I noticed the other line was quiet.

“Are you still there, Randolf?”

“I’m still here, Miss.”

“Why did you suddenly fall silent?” I asked him.

“I was just shocked by your holiday gift. Maldives, really? It’s just for newlyweds, “said Randolf.

“Silly, that place is for couples. It’s okay for singles like me,” I said.

“It’s embarrassing for you. But your offer is so tempting,” said Randolf once, laughing at the other line.

“Of course, because all the girls with me will be coming into the company one of these days, there will be someone to watch over the office when I go to something important. So you’re free to take a vacation without leaving your brain at work, “I said.

“I see, but maybe my girlfriend won’t let me. Because she’s new to the company,” said Randolf.

“That’s okay, I’m the one who invited. And then the company is ours. No one will complain if you go on vacation with her. We’ll fire them all. “I joked.

“The company is yours. You are the owner,” said Randolf.

“The two of us, because I can’t do everything alone when I don’t have an assistant like you, ” I said.

“Thank you, Miss. I’ll hang up the phone,” he said to me.

“All right.”

Lucianna just smiled at me.

“When’s their vacation, Miss?” She asked.

“I’ll try again another day because Randolf’s birthday is also near. You’ll help me plan to surprise him.” I said.

“All right.”

After we ate with Duke and Amara, we headed straight to Mitch’s apartment. Because she said she was too tired at work because there had been a lot of customers before.

“Are you really okay, Mitch? Your face looks different now. Does your head hurt? “I asked her as we sat on her bed.

“No, I’ll just rest for a while. Then it will go away,” she says.

“All right,” I replied.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Mitch stood up and took something from inside her cabinet. She handed me pajamas and a large T-shirt.

“What is this?”

“Get dressed first, because you’ve been wearing your uniform. Maybe the sweat has dried on your back,” she said to me, simultaneously holding my back.

“No, I’m going home too. And then the dress you lent me is still at home. I haven’t returned it to you yet,” I said.

“It’s okay,”

I took the dress and then went inside the bathroom to get dressed. I felt relieved because my body had become fresh.

“You can leave your uniform here. I’ll do the laundry.” said Mitch.

“Don’t, it’s embarrassing for you.” I said.

“No. Will your mother ask why you’re wearing different clothes? ” she asked me.

“No, and then I’ll tell her where I left my clothes. I briefly told her that I already had a girlfriend.” I said while smiling.

“Really?” said Mitch, once hugging me.

“Sure, do we have to hide our relationship?”

“Of course not.”

“Go to sleep. I need to go home too. Are you okay here alone?” I asked.

“Sure, I’m too used to it,” Mitch replied, while smiling.

The two of us walked out of the gate together. I took my laptop and bag to Mitch. I kissed her cheek and lips.

“I’m leaving,” I said.

Then a motorcycle pulled up in front of us. I rode as Mitch waved at me. It’s nice to feel that someone loves you. So I’m pretty sure I won’t let Mitch go. When I got home, I found Melissa outside the house.

“What are you doing out here, sister?” I asked him.

“Mom told me to buy soap at the store,” he replied.

“Why haven’t you gone inside yet? It’s late and there are a lot of mosquitoes here.” I said.

“I’m waiting for you to come with some food.” said Melissa.

I messed up her hair. We have food in stock at home. We also have ice cream in the fridge. Do you need anything else? “I asked him.

“I like junk food, brother.”

“Junk foods are forbidden for health,” I said, accompanying him into the house at the same time.

“Are you here yet, Zander? Where’s your uniform?” my mother asked.

I was scratching my head.

“Eh, I passed by my girlfriend’s house, mom, my uniform is wet with sweat, so I changed my clothes.” I said.

My mother smiled.

“Come inside so we can eat.
