My Sweet Wife

No, she wouldn’t have agreed to sell herself at that time if it wasn’t for him.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Alicia wanted to open her mouth, but she couldn’t grow the mouth.

At that time, she was just looking for a good paycheck, and some of her sold schoolmates dragged her over there, she didn’t know that she was going to sell herself, but she became willing when she was taken to see Issac Shaw.

Seeing that Alicia still wasn’t talking, Issac Shaw took a hard drag on his cigarette, the smoke skimming his lungs and scraping his throat as if with a little bit of a paralyzing effect, easing the pain there slightly.

Issac Shaw drove up to the entrance of the civil office, currently staring straight ahead, “This is the last chance I’m giving myself, if you have to walk away from here again today, then I’ll never see you again after this.”

“Mr. Issac, I don’t deserve you.” Alicia took a long time before squirming her dry lips to make a sound.

Hearing this, the corner of Issac Shaw’s mouth scratched a touch of coolness, “I know.”

Looking at him like this, Alicia bit her lips and spoke again, “I’m just a little girl from the countryside, I don’t have a family history that’s up to par, I’m not long and pretty, and I don’t have an excellent education. If I were to marry you, you’d be laughed at by others, and I’d become the talk of the town after you’ve been teared up by others.”

“So …”

She couldn’t say the words that followed.

Alicia thought, Issac Shaw gave her so much help, is the only sunshine in her dark life, because of him, she can finish college, become this now, can be in the community based on the useful people, she can not return him what, but at least will not go to become a burden.

Become, his burden …

Suddenly, Issac Shaw put his foot on the gas.

The car was going too fast and Alicia looked at him in alarm, “What are you doing?”

Issac Shaw didn’t say anything, his facial lines tightened and he didn’t look at her until he reached the entrance of the hotel and spoke, “Get out of the car.”

“Issac…”

“Have one last meal.”

Hearing Issac Shaw say this, Alicia didn’t open her mouth again, she also wanted to have a meal with him and couldn’t bear to part with him, if he hadn’t suddenly proposed to get married, she hadn’t thought of any way to convince him to wait a little longer, all in all, overwhelmed, she struggled for one more night and chose to avoid him.

As always, Issac Shaw was gentle, at least with Alicia.

Today is the first time Alicia has seen Issac Shaw lose his temper, and she doesn’t dare to make a sound as she follows him.

When they arrived at the hotel, a woman came over and said hello to Issac Shaw.

That woman dresses up, looks like a rich family lady, she is wearing a pink dress, looks pink and cute, she sees Issac Shaw with a smile on her brow and goes forward to hold his arm, “Brother Issac, why did you come to my family’s restaurant to eat?”

“I was caught by my dad today to come here for a day to learn how to run a restaurant, it’s driving me crazy, I didn’t expect to see Brother Issac, happiness came so suddenly.”

She finished her sentence before she saw Alicia, “Brother Issac, who is this?”

“I work for President Shaw.” Alicia snaps and introduces herself.

Employee, she was right, she worked at the radio station after all, but introducing herself like that put the relationship right out of reach.

The woman beamed, as if she was a bit unconvinced, so she spoke again, “Brother Issac, you’re here for dinner, what’s the point of bringing an employee over? And this employee doesn’t even look like a proper woman, with a bitter face, like Brother Issac you bullied her.”

“Connie, you go ahead and go about your business.” Issac Shaw said in a cold voice.

Connie was even more dissatisfied and gagged, “No, no, I happen to not have eaten either, I’ll eat with you Brother Issac. I don’t need money to eat here, Brother Issac I’ll treat you.”

“It just so happens that I also have a good chat with you. The day before yesterday, Auntie talked to my mom and said something about wanting you to marry me, I didn’t hear what was going on. Brother Issac, tell me what’s going on. Why would Auntie say talk to my mom like that, or is it that you like me, Brother Issac, and that’s why you made Auntie come to my house to mention to my mom about letting the two of us get married?”

“You heard wrong, my mom is now planning to get me married to Ms. The Tania family.” Issac Shaw looked at Connie and said this but was speaking to Alicia.

If Issac Shaw marries Tiana, then what happens to Alicia, she can tell right now.

She would lose her current job and become destitute.

Issac Shaw even if he got married, Alicia wouldn’t allow Issac Shaw him to marry Tiana, and Tiana doesn’t love him at all.

If it wasn’t for love, then the marriage would just be a prison ride and Issac Shaw would be tortured.

Alicia she wanted Issac Shaw to marry a wife who loved him.

Connie gave a disgruntled snort, “Brother Issac, are you going to marry that fool Tiana? Then you might as well marry me. Tiana has a temper and is arrogant, is no match for me at all.”

Hearing Connie say this, Alicia laughed, she still felt quite happy to hear someone scolding Tiana.

“What are you laughing at?!” Connie saw Alicia laughing and glared at her.

Alicia hurriedly explained, “No, it’s just that I think you’re quite right, that Tiana is nothing compared to you.”

“I know you’re trying to impress me, but I still feel flattered and happy to hear it.”

With that said, Connie changed the subject again and glanced askance at Alicia, “I’d like to have dinner alone with Brother Issac, you should have some eye for what to do, right?”

Alicia nodded.

Seeing Alicia turn around, Issac Shaw’s originally warm and jade-like face became gloomy, “If you dare to leave here today give me a try!”

“What’s wrong Brother Issac, why don’t you let her go?” Connie asked in confusion.

Alicia was afraid of being detected by Connie, and quickly explained, “That, I’m here because of a problem at work, so the president brought me here …”

“Oh, then you’re weirdly pathetic too.” Connie instantly has no hostility towards Alicia, sympathetically looking at Alicia, after a pause, she turned her face again and shook Issac Shaw’s arm, petulantly saying, “Brother Issac, you don’t get angry, work matters, don’t think about it when you are off-duty, dissipate your anger, and you can’t say that this matter didn’t happen even if you scolded the employee, and that the mistake that she made is no longer there. And Brother Issac you’ve always been a very gentle person, I feel horrible when I look at you when you get angry like this.”

Connie didn’t look more than just eighteen or nineteen years old, it was true that she had just turned nineteen and was still a child at heart, but she was straightforward and not the type of person who would hide her bad intentions.

This was Alicia’s impression of Connie during this short time together.

If compared to Tiana, having Issac Shaw with Connie would be better.

It’s just that she doesn’t know if she can do it by letting go and forgetting all that she once had with Issac Shaw.

After thinking for a few moments, Alicia puts a smile on her face and looks towards Issac Shaw, “President Shaw, then you go and eat, I’ll leave you guys alone.”

“How dare you really dare to leave!” Issac Shaw looked at Alicia’s back as she left for a long time, as if he was talking to himself that way, a touch of piercing pain crossed under his eyes.

Alicia left, she thought that between her and Issac Shaw should be the end, completely, cleanly, he married, she married, in the future each other.

Married, her heart throbbed at the mere thought of the word.

It was better to let go of happiness that didn’t belong to her, lest she fall deeper and deeper into it.

Alicia wanted to take advantage of the fact that Issac Shaw wasn’t at home, to go back to the place where they used to live, to pack up all the things he bought for her, to pack up all the good memories that would be her only support through her bitter life for the rest of her life.

Back at the house, Alicia saw the noblewoman sitting in the living room, a noblewoman that Alicia had seen twice from afar, this was Issac Shaw’s mom.

Issac Shaw’s mom raises her eyes and looks coldly at Alicia, “Where is Issac?”

“He’s out to dinner and hasn’t come back yet. Do you need me to make a call and get him back?” Alicia saw Issac Shaw’s mom and somehow didn’t dare to raise her head, speaking in a low voice, so constricted and uneasy.

Maybe because she still has some fear in her heart, very afraid of Issac Shaw’s mom, because Issac Shaw’s mom is so dignified, born in a famous family, exudes an aura, as if she was not born to be the kind of person who can casually talk to any person, and she can be right in front of the eyes of the person.

A lot of people don’t have that qualification.

Alicia also knew that it was because of her inferiority complex, but wasn’t that how people were?

In front of powerful people will naturally inferiority complex, in front of people weaker than themselves, will naturally have confidence, honor and disgrace of people are too few.

Issac Shaw’s mom swept another glance at Alicia and took a sip of her tea before setting it down and sitting upright, “I know you’re Issac’s woman on the outside and have stayed by his side for a long time.”

“It’s normal for a man to have a woman or two, and I can understand my son. But now that he’s about to get married, he’s not allowed to have any more women on the outside, and I don’t want my family to have no peace and be the laughing stock of the outside world talking about it.”

After a pause, Issac Shaw’s mom stood up again and walked towards Alicia, “My son wants you to be my daughter-in-law. But I think you should understand that marriage is still a family affair. The drama of Cinderella marrying the prince is played on TV, but in real life, a wrong door and wrong family will never be happy.”

“The reasons why you won’t be happy, I don’t think you need me to list them all for you, you’ve been with my son for so long, and you’ve always been very peaceful, and you’ve never declared it to the public, so I think you’re also a smart person.”

There are reasons why people with the wrong door won’t be happy together, and Alicia is well aware of them.

For example, Issac Shaw had the habit of buying her jewelry, and the price of each piece of jewelry made her heart ache, feeling that she couldn’t afford to pay it back in her life, but in his eyes it was a rare and common thing; for example, she prepared a birthday present for him, and used all the money she had earned from working for half a year to buy him a watch, and found out that there were also those who gave watches in the heap of birthday presents he had received, but the watches given by other people were more expensive than the ones given by her hundreds of times more expensive.

Not having the same values was the biggest obstacle, between them.

Half a dozen times, Alicia nodded, “I understand, I just came back to pack up and get out of here.”
