My Sweet Wife

Jerome looked at Alicia so sad and wanted to rush to comfort her, “It’s okay, Alicia, the job can be found again, if you can’t find it you still have me, I can support you.”

When she heard Jerome say this, Alicia felt that she was really crazy to tell him that he wouldn’t understand.

In Jerome’s eyes, as long as he had enough to eat and drink, he would never starve, he didn’t know what a dream was, and he wouldn’t understand why a woman would want to work.

Because that’s the way it had been ingrained in him for almost thirty years in that village.

“I don’t need to.” Alicia looked in the direction of the money that could be picked up not far away as she took a step that way, “I really do wish that I had never known you all, that my birth had been the greatest sorrow of my life.”

Jerome heard Alicia say this, he was even more anxious, he got on his hands and carried Alicia on his shoulders, “Alicia, I’ll take you back, it must be the people here who have taught you wrong, you used to say that you liked me the most, there’s no way you could hate me.”

In the past, Alicia did say something like that, because the only person she could make feel a shred of warmth all those years was Jerome.

Jerome had her on his shoulders and Alicia was slapping desperately against it, “You let go of me. Jerome you put me down! Put me down …”

No matter how Alicia screams, Jerome just keeps carrying her forward.

Around them who heard Alicia’s shouting, a police officer patrolling the road caught up with them in his motorcycle, blocked in front of Jerome and blew his whistle, “Hey, what are you doing? Put the man down!”

“Police …,” Jerome said, standing too scared to move.

Looking at Alicia and Jerome’s dress, it is not like the people who know, Alicia is the big city workplace white-collar dress, wearing youthful and beautiful fashion, Jerome wearing clothes that look worn out, but also some dirty. Jerome’s clothes were worn out and dirty. Plus he was a bit naive and looked like a fool.

Alicia saw Jerome panicked overwhelmed look, some soft heart.

The traffic policeman was still asking in a cold voice, “This lesbian, do you know him? Why is he forcibly carrying you on the road?”

“Don’t know him.” Alicia wanted to get out of trouble, so she lied ruthlessly.

The traffic policeman took out his handcuffs and walked towards Jerome, “You dare to do such a thing in broad daylight. Are you a woman trafficker? Or do you want to do something? I don’t see you as a good person, seeing me with a weak heart like this. Go, sit down in the police station and give me an honest account of what happened.”

Jerome trembled with panic, “Alicia, Alicia, I’m not a bad person, tell the police, tell the police I’m not a bad person.”

He spoke with a sob in his voice.

Seeing Jerome’s helplessness, Alicia thought back to how good he was to her when she was a child, and with some impatience, she told the police, “Comrade police, I’m sorry, I lied just now. I know him, he is my neighbor from the same village.”

Finally, the traffic police let Jerome go.

Alicia kept apologizing to the traffic policeman, and the traffic policeman didn’t get angry because he saw that she had a good attitude, and counted her as obstructing official business.

But as soon as the traffic police left, Jerome took Alicia’s hand, “I knew it, Alicia, you won’t leave me alone, you like me the most.”

Alicia at this time in the heart suppressed want to cry, but also take Jerome can not help, who will go with a fool to calculate?

Soft hearted, facing those who can’t reason, is the most fundamental reason why Alicia can’t get out of the current predicament.

“Can you go away? Stop bothering me? If you bother me again, do you believe I will send you to the police station?!” Alicia coldly shrugged off Jerome with an icy warning and threat under her eyes.

Jerome who had just seen the police was already scared like that, he was afraid of the police, so Alicia said this and managed to make him listen honestly.

Alicia watched Jerome let go of her as she walked quickly to the ATM and took the money and handed it to Jerome.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jerome held the money and watched Alicia leave and get in his car, he ran after the car for a long time.

The driver looks over at Alicia, “Ma’am, is that man behind you chasing you?”

“No, I don’t recognize him, please drive away quickly.”

Alicia took the car and found a nearby hostel to stay in, she had wanted to go to the station to get a ticket to leave the city, but maybe because she couldn’t bear to leave, or maybe because she didn’t have any idea where she was going, she didn’t take the car to leave for a while.

At night, her brain was a jumble of things that prevented her from falling asleep, and she reached for her phone to open up a picture of Issac Shaw and stared at it.

In fact, now, she thought about how ridiculous she was, loving Issac Shaw so much that she didn’t even have the courage to tell him.

She wants to find someone to marry and live with him, but she is afraid of regretting it in the future, so she gives up on the idea.

I don’t know how long, Alicia’s cell phone calls, caller ID is a landline.

Alicia picked up the phone and put it to her ear to answer. The call was from the police, it was to notify her that she should come to the police station to collect the person.

Alicia answered straight back, “I don’t know him.”

“Comrade, he said he just remembered your number. He was robbed with all that money and beaten up, and now he has to be taken to the hospital and he won’t go. I’m afraid he’ll have an accident. If you’re someone he knows, hurry over and take a look.”

The police had put it that way, so Alicia couldn’t say anything else. Besides, Jerome had been robbed and injured, and she was quite worried when she heard the news.

Jerome was a bit naive, but not to the point of being a fool, and only reported her number. Alicia knew that Jerome did it on purpose, but she still couldn’t be cruel enough to leave him alone.

Alicia got dressed and went to the police station, on her way there she got a call from her station manager.

“Alicia, are you sure you don’t want to come to work at the station? If you’re sure, I’ll have the finance side settle your paycheck for you.”

“Uh-huh.”

“So you’re handing over your job to someone else tomorrow, can you come over and do the handover?”

The car stopped and Alicia got out of the car before taking the time to return the station manager’s words, “Station manager, I don’t have time for a handover. I’m busy with something right now, so I’ll hang up now.”

As Alicia stepped into the police station, Jerome, who was sitting inside, greeted her quickly with a limp, “Alicia …”

Alicia didn’t respond to him, she just asked the police officer if the person could be taken away. Can take away, she just took the person away.

Jerome could tell Alicia was upset, and when she didn’t say anything, he kept his head down, afraid to speak.

So much money, all robbed, the robber has not been caught, lost the money, Jerome heart also with self-blame, he can not face Alicia.

Alicia gave a total of 170, 000 dollars, which is the money she has saved from her paycheck until now.

Each point is her own earned, did not give up words, but also prepared to plan to take this money, later buy a single apartment.

The two of them, one after the other, came out from the police station.

Alicia called a car to take Jerome to the hospital.

Jerome endured until now, really want to talk, he pulled Alicia, “Alicia, I’m just a superficial wound, after two days will be fine, do not need to go to the hospital. To the hospital those doctors will have to make me take pictures and get medicine again, it will surely cost a lot of money. I have lost all your money ….”

So the medical bills he was afraid he couldn’t afford.

“You call your mom.” Alicia looked at Jerome who had his head down and was filled with guilt.

She did pack up no money to pay for Jerome’s medical treatment, the money she had left on her, paid for the room, the rest was all she kept for the bus fare.

Even if she was a soft-hearted person, she wouldn’t be able to do that without even caring about herself, and take the little money she had left and give it to Jerome to see the doctor.

Jerome kept his head down and didn’t say anything.

When Alicia got angry, she thought, “Forget it, Jerome doesn’t mind the pain and doesn’t want to go to the hospital, so why should she care? She drops Jerome off at the neighborhood where she lives because there her grandmother and great uncle they must still be inside waiting for her.

So she looked over at Jerome and said, “Go in by yourself, I won’t walk you in.”

“Alicia, it’s so late and dark. It’s not safe in this city, look I’ve been robbed, you’re a girl, you might be in some kind of danger walking down the road.”

“But I’ve seen here again at home, there are always girls riding in the car at night, encountering danger, being killed and abandoning their bodies in the wilderness. This big city at night is not as safe as our village at night, we are all right there at night.”

Jerome knew that Alicia didn’t like their village, so he bragged about it as much as he could when he got the chance.

Alicia didn’t bother to talk back to him, after all there were good people everywhere and bad people everywhere. It’s just that she prefers living in the big city.

Downstairs, wandering back and forth to Alicia’s grandmother, Alicia heard the sound of Alicia’s grandmother and her great aunt and uncle talking, “Mom, just stop wandering around, let’s just go back to bed.”

“This Alicia and Jerome aren’t back yet. My eyelids keep jumping and I’m worried that this girl won’t come back.”

Her great-uncle said brusquely, “She dares not come back, she lives here, and we can find the place where she works, where can she go?”

“Mom, I think Alicia has no conscience, her parents died early, you worked hard to bring her up, it was hard for her to make money, she ran away, now she is in the big city, making so much money, and she doesn’t go back to see you.”

“I’ve heard that hosts get paid a lot of money, we married Alicia off to Jerome, that rash man, and only charged eighty thousand dollars for the bride price, it’s really going to be less.”

Alicia’s grandmother scolded her eldest uncle, “Be a man of honor, the money has already been given, a girl’s family is even more capable, that won’t work without a man. I think Jerome is honest, it’s good for Alicia to marry him. In the future in the village can also take care of me, give me old age.”
