The Bride

Did you sleep well I prepared a soup for you.

“Inland?”

I sat down and gathered myself. “Give me some painkillers.” He nodded and left. It was my first hangover soup and it was surprisingly delicious.

After eating soup and medicine, I fell asleep again. It was 1:00 am when I woke up, but today the weather was very sunny. I took a long, comfortable shower and wore a floral summer dress. I tied my hair in a ponytail and left the room. Morris was having lunch and Tristan was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Tristan?” I asked Maurice.

– Why are you looking for me?

I almost jumped out of nowhere

question behind. Tristan opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, swimming shorts, and a gray towel draped over his left shoulder, wiping his damp hair down his back. I saw Adam’s apple swell as he drank the water. I tried not to take my eyes off the cracks and crevices in his body. It was hot here.

Not even a drop made it down my lower lip before I finished drinking the water and hit the floor with my eyes. I’m still amazed at how he loved such a small thing and made it so easy.

I pretended to check my short nails when she turned to me. “Swimming. I never said I needed a babysitter.”

– he said and left the kitchen.

‘I just wanted to thank you.

Who took me to my room when I was wasted!’

I called after him. Sigh, I stayed on the island. I don’t really remember last night.

“Do you need help with something?”

“No, Miss Simpson, thank you for asking.”

“Come on, looks like you’re working hard, so I’ll help you, I’ve got nothing to do.”

It took me a few seconds to agree. “You can mix the sauce for me.” “excellent!”

I ran to the electric stove.

“How did you know I was in a hurry?”

“I saw you sleeping on the living room floor last night, I saw you”

I woke you up, but you were too drunk to raise your hand. I took you to your room to pick you up.

I stopped stirring the sauce and looked at him. – Did you take me to my room?

“Yes, Mrs. Simpson, you were alone on the floor.”

– Five.

I hummed a little embarrassed. – Thank you, Morris.

He gave me a warm smile and I turned him over and started mixing the sauce. “Why are you preparing all these dishes?”

– They are guests. “Guest?”

– Mr. Sanchester informed me this morning.

I thought someone would come, right?

Should your girlfriend play a role? No, I was very tired last time. I soon finished in the kitchen. I helped set up a garden table that Tristan wanted. It was so beautiful to see from the porch.

“Good job, Maurice.”

I told him after I cleaned the place up. “So do you, Miss Simpson.” “Oh, it was nothing.”

I waved to him and the doorbell caught our attention.

“Good.”

– I turned quickly and said. “It’s my business, Mrs. Simpson, please.”

Enable.”

I hated that he closed his eyes to defeat and said that.

Tristan came down the stairs in black shorts and a blue t-shirt, a few strands of hair falling on his right temple. I was busy looking at him, unnoticed, and the familiar scent filled my nose. I saw Adrian in khaki pants and a white polo shirt smiling at the woman in his arms. Her enviable black hair fell down to her waist and she showed off her perfect curves and flawless legs in a green dress.

Tristan and Adrian signed

Shaking hands while watching. I was 1. 5 meters away

– Chloe?

Adrian’s voice is mrs. distracted me

– Hello, Adrian.

I tried not to show my pain

The fake smile on my face at my voice started to hurt my side. “Chloe, see my friend Karen.” girlfriend?

– Hi Karen.

I laughed. “Don’t do that, come here.”

He also had a sweet voice. How can I compete for her and Adrian?

She got out of his arms and started hugging me. There was so much of her perfume it gave me a headache. – Adrian said a lot about you. Your eyes are very pretty.

“thanks.”

“The food could get cold, okay?”

When Tristan started walking, I put my arms around Karen and Adrian’s waists and followed them.

Jealousy swallowed my eyes

I made a hole where it touched. I watched as he pulled out a chair for her and she sat down smiling at him.

I sat in front of them and Tristan sat next to me. As I looked at Karen, Maurice began to pass out food. He was prettier and older than me, and he obviously went to his kind, not mine. Adrian and Tristan were talking about work, Karen wanted to talk to me, she was laughing at her jokes and I was looking at her with a fake smile. I couldn’t hide my smile.

He whispered her name, she looked at him, fed him the shrimp, and she smiled and gave him lamb with a fork. Tristan was so busy with her phone and her food that he couldn’t afford to worry about anything else.

I drank and tried to suppress the anger that was building up in me, but I couldn’t.

to work More wine was poured and the contents were drunk.

“Are you ok?”

Karen looked at my empty glass and asked. “Yes”.

“Wow, you have a good tolerance for alcohol.”

– You have no idea.

Tristan grumbled into the phone.

“I forgot something in the kitchen. I’ll be right back.”

I got up, left the garden, went to the garden and sat by the pool. I took a deep breath and leaned back on the long bench. The cool breeze soothed me and I almost forgot about lunch in the garden.

“Is there something you forgot in the kitchen?”

I was surprised by the voice and Adrian frowned at me. I got up and got angry again and he took a sip and sat in another chair.

“Very comfortable.”

He leaned back and lifted one knee with the other knee flat on the chair. “Why are you here?”

he looked at me and asked.

“I just wanted to see the pool.” I got up to leave. “Chloe”.

He called me and stopped. “Yes?”

She turned her head to look at him, and after she finished drinking, she slowly put the glass down and sat down. “Come here.”

He pointed to a seat next to me and I looked at him with a still question.

He took my hand and sat next to me and looked into my face as I sat. I waited for him to say something and hoped he didn’t when he did.

‘Your ears are cute. I’ve never braided my hair.”

I did not say anything. “Why don’t you say anything, don’t you look at me?”

he said angrily.

“I don’t know Adrian, what am I talking about? Congratulations?”

I looked at him and asked him.

“You look so cute when you’re angry.”

– He smiled slowly and I stood up even more angry. “What happens?”

– Hadrian shouldn’t have followed me here! I rushed.

‘I was worried, okay. You have been acting strange.”

“Don’t worry, not to mention I’m cute!”

“What are you talking about?” He stood up and I took a step back.

‘Okay, we have to get back to Karen. We both know Tristan isn’t good at talking.

“I have a daughter, Chloe.” Nothing will change between us.

“I’m sorry, that changed me a lot.”

I looked at it one last time and came away with a question in my mind.

What have I done – Chloe is waiting for you.

I heard him talking behind me, but I didn’t hear him

Stop.

Tristan was standing by the door, looking at me as I approached him. I wonder how long he was there.

He stepped aside for me to pass and I met Karen on the way up the stairs. – Have you seen Adrian?

I walked up the stairs pointing to the pool.

– It’s good?

I heard him ask. – He’s drunk. Tristan told him.

I went to my room and sat on the bed. – What did Chloe do?

When I opened my eyes it was dark outside and I covered my face as I remembered what I was doing. I won’t leave my room anytime soon, I’m too shy. I shouldn’t have hit her, I shouldn’t have

Pretend you’re happy for him.

I groaned and buried my face in the pillow. I had to stay away from him until I found an excuse and could say I was drunk.

Suddenly the door opened and I pretended to sleep. – I know you’re awake.

I thought it was Tristan, but he didn’t move.

“You feel better?”

I refused and turned to him. “take care.”

“Adrian said you were sick because you drank too much wine, which is strange because he saw you drink a bottle of wine.”

– Yes, my body did not like the wine.

“It’s like someone taking anything with alcohol in it.”

It sounds like an insult, but I’ll take it.

“Say this.”

“Call Maurice if you need anything.” He turned to leave. “Tristan”.

I yelled at him to sit down and he frowned and stopped and turned around.

‘Can you tell me what happened last night? I’m drunk and I know you were there, but the rest of my memory is fuzzy.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, smiling.

– You kissed me.

He left the room before I could answer. “What have I done?”

I opened my eyes wide and whispered.

I was forced to remember everything, but there was nothing and it wasn’t something I wanted to remember.

I needed to know if he was telling the truth. Even when you’re drunk, don’t kiss in your dreams. it had to be a lie If I kiss him, why won’t he leave me? To distract me, my phone rang and it was Vina.

– Hello, girl!

He screamed in a singing voice and I started to cry but no tears came out. “Chloe? What’s going on?” Tristan hurt you? Should I call 911?

‘No, I messed up Vina. I did something stupid.”

I heard him breathe a sigh of relief. – Did you kiss Adrian again? – No, worse.

“What did Chloe Simpson do?” Security,

Did you kill Tristan? If you tell the truth, I will come clean you and help you escape. Then we will flee to the unknown in Africa without a trace.”

I checked my phone screen to make sure I was talking to my best friend. – How are you, Belvina Gallardo?

“I’m sorry. I just finished this horror movie and my head hurts. What’s going on?”

I murmured before telling him my dilemma. “no way.”

When I finished, he gasped.

“You were so stupid, Chloe.” – Don’t remind me.

I didn’t tell him about my love for Tristan because I still didn’t believe it. “What are you going to do now?” “Don’t let me see him when I see him.”

“You didn’t say you were capable.” – Bina, tell me what to do.

“Honestly, I think you have to figure it out for yourself.”

“tip?”

“He already knows she likes him. You can’t change it. Wait and see what he does if he doesn’t like me.

I tell you what to do, right? – Uh, come on.

“You do not know. Good night love you.”

Before I could excuse him, he hung up.

I decided to stay away from him and started to hang up the phone. My phone has been off for two days.

I knew Veena was trying to get close to me.

We hadn’t seen Adrian since the discovery, and Tristan was still the mysterious Tristan. I stayed in my room with three bags of chips to do research for class. I told Morris to come to my room only for lunch. 7:37 He knocked on my door and said I’d be right there and left.

I made my bed, put on my big bunny slippers and rubbed my eyes on the stairs. Hearing Adrian’s laugh made my heart skip a beat.

I backed away slowly so as not to make a sound. “Did you forget something, Miss Simpson?”

Morris immediately demanded to see me and I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me.

“Not”.

I said smiling, but I looked at the one who had interrupted my escape.

I went with all my might to the restaurant, but Karen wasn’t there. I sat next to Tristan without saying a word or making eye contact.

I watched Morris serve our food and it seemed like the most fun thing to do. And I felt someone looking at me and I knew it was Adrian. Can someone open the wine?

I saw Adrian stand up and stop breathing as he walked over to where I was sitting. The hair on my neck stood up as he leaned over my neck and his hot breath caressed my face.

“Can I talk outside? It will take 10 minutes.”

I shook my head as if I didn’t believe a word. – I’ll wait for you in the garden.

He growled back and took the heat with him.

I watched Tristan eat and there was no sign of disturbance. I got up and walked into the garden, trying to catch my breath as I approached. I saw the tall figure of Hadrian touch the garden gnome. I went to where he was and sat next to him. A long silence passed between us and I rubbed my left elbow and looked at the dwarf. He looked at me and I did the same, biting the inside of my cheek as I waited for him to speak.

“I’m sorry if I made a mistake.”

I was disappointed and heartbroken. “Okay, I’ve been drinking and talking nonsense.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought him here. I can’t imagine how you feel. I’m so sorry.”

His gray eyes sparkled under the moon. – Adrian, it’s over.

I felt like giving up. Adrian was like everyone else, he was considerate of those around him, he spoke kindly to everyone, gave everyone a special smile and hugged everyone. I got it all wrong. “I’m going to be the luckiest person in the world that anyone can have you. I think I’m lucky right now. I mean, I’m proud that Chloe Simpson loves me.”

– he said and we both laughed. “I’m not going to talk about celebrities anymore.”

“Oh, trust me.” – Hmm.

“I want to meet you in a different way in my next life, I don’t want to be eight years older and everything won’t be difficult.”

He looked at the stars and said. I smiled and looked at the stars.

Be strong, don’t be emotional. – I’m sorry I hurt you, Chloe. he said after a long silence.

“it’s fine.” I whispered. “I wish things were different.”

He whispered and smiled softly.

“Trust me. Dating Karen doesn’t change anything between us. You still have a special place in my heart, you’re still my best friend, you’re a smart, fun, wonderful person.”

Stop.

I stopped talking with a short smile. “I’m sorry,” he said with a smile.

“I just want to know one thing. Why did you kiss me?”

– I don’t think you’ll ever know.

He smiled at me and left. – Seriously? Is that all I can get?

“I’m hungry, can I come in?” “I hate you.” I said behind him. “Liar.” he whispered

When we got to the restaurant, Tristan was gone and his part of the kitchen was clean. Morris ate the hot food.

Adrian talked to me a little, and after a while we laughed and talked as if nothing had happened between us. Maybe we could have been better friends and I didn’t want to get involved.

Adrian and I are fine now. One Friday afternoon, I saw Adrian…

We invite you to dinner in the classic restaurant.

I bought a dress and heels online. When Morris came, he brought her to my room.

I can’t even remember the last time I was or went to a fancy restaurant and it was good to eat tonight. At 7:35 a. m., as he ran to get his earrings, Tristan had already called Maurice three times.

I controlled everything until I decided to make a neat bun that took half an hour. The hairstyle was awkward, but I finally did it. I put on my jewelry very quickly. I did all my makeup, the dress fits me well, and so do the heels. Black Flannel Knee Length Sleeveless Lace Dress

around the neck. I took my bag and left the room.

On the way I met Maurice. “Mr. Sanchester-”

“I finished.” I smiled and intervened. – It’s in the living room. “thanks.”

Tristan, wearing black sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and black Nike shoes, was looking at the new picture hanging on the wall.

– I’m sorry I made you wait.

He turned and looked at me, his eyes scanning what I was wearing. “Anywhere to go after dinner?”

“Not?”

He looked at my heel and looked away. It made me feel like I was doing too much. I mean it was evening.

Nice place, I had to take a good look. – Are you wearing it?

“Yes, we will not eat, talk or drink tea with the Queen of England.”

He really wears sweaters and t-shirts and I wouldn’t deny knowing him if he was handsome. “We will?” I nodded.

I wasn’t surprised by the number of exotic cars parked in his huge garage as he took out his car keys and unlocked a bright red Ferrari. We got into the car and left the building. I expected Morris to take us there, but he didn’t.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and continued typing on the phone. – Tristan, I’m not ready to go to heaven yet. When you get out of the car, you can write a letter to anyone you want.

“It’s important and it’s not the first time.”

They followed the road, making sure they got there safely. As I parked the car in front of the restaurant, I breathed a sigh of relief. It’s a French restaurant, so I went inside. Adrian and Karen waved as we entered and smiled as I approached them. We sat in front of them and it was cold here. Looking at a bright room with expensive chandeliers and beautiful photos of Paris. – I like your hair, Chloe.

Karen’s voice drew my attention to the feeding pair.

“thanks.”

I saw him dressed in black and Adrian wearing a two-piece suit. Everyone here wears something.

Besides Tristan, the waiters and waitresses also looked stylish.

“Hello.”

Adrian smiled at me and I smiled back. The waiter came and took our order.

Some of the dishes on the menu were embarrassing to speak and the only language I learned in high school was Spanish.

“How are you feeling? Adrian told me what happened.

– It’s okay, I’m sorry about that day.

“good.” he waved his hand

good laugh

Adrian ordered expensive red wine. Tristan made us drink water because we were in public. I swallowed hard as I waited for the food to come out. Karen talked about her trip to Paris and the places she had visited.
