THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

“JUST cry, Rossana, to make you feel better.” Mica said while stroking her back.

Edward left the door because he heard his wife crying. And he knows the reason. Because of what his mother taught him, he knows this is painful. But he can’t blame her mother for what they did to him.

When Rossana was just sobbing, Mica asked her to sit down first.

“Rossana, I’m sorry for what’s happening to you. You’re the one who suffered because of what Sherry did! Ahhh! Really, I hate her! But I can’t do anything to stop her. I’m just her friend. ”

“You have nothing to be sorry for, Mica; it’s my fault too; I just can’t stop crying because they look down on me! I know what I did was wrong, but I did that for my good intentions towards my family. ”

Yeah, I know that, Rossana. How about you explain to Edward why you took Sherry’s offer? Maybe he will believe you. ”

“I think it’s too late, Mica. Can you see his anger right? ”

Mica nod. “But you try, Rossana. If he didn’t believe you, then it is up to him. ”

I don’t know Mica, if I had the strong mind to tell him. You know what he did to me in the church? ”

Yeah, if you can’t stand how he treats you anymore, there’s no reason for you to stay here at his house. After all, you’re only going to be together for one day, right? It’s my fault too, because I said you should sign your marriage contract. I was scared at that time for Edward. ”

It’s not your fault, Mica; we’re just scared, especially when he made me pay for everything he spent. Where am I going to get such a huge amount? That’s why I accepted Sherry’s offer; I needed money.

“I know, Edward, you spent a million on the wedding that happened. Just for the gown you wore, the price is wow, so what are your plans? ”

“What else can I do? I’ll be with him until he gets tired of being together. ”

“Then you will be patient.”

“For my family, and I don’t want to go into debt, Mica.”

“Does your marriage involve passion, Rossana?”

Rossana nodded at Mica’s question. Well, she cannot lie to her because she’s the only one she can trust now.

“You mean it has already happened to you and Edward, Rossana, my gosh?” Mica was in disbelief.

“He was drunk when something happened to us.”

“Why did you give it to him? Is that he’s the one who took you? ”

I can’t do anything. He said, “I’m his wife, and it’s my responsibility to him.”

“So, he was the first?”

She nodded at her.

“He’s lucky, because you’re a virgin. I just wish that he could develop with you. You’re beautiful and kind; he’s lucky.

It’s unlikely that will happen. What did you say, Mica? His type is not like mine.

“Who knows, Rossana, maybe when he wakes up one morning he loves you and you love him too, don’t you?”

Rossana smiled at what he said. I hope that’s what happens between them, for a happy ending like she sees in dramas. But this is unlikely to happen to her. Especially with Edward Trinidad, who was like a woman who was going through menopause because he was so grumpy.

“You know, I see something in you and that I feel it too.”

“Huh? How do you feel? What is that, Mica? ”

“Well, you like him, right?”

“Huh? How could you say that, Mica? ”

“I said that I feel, honestly, Rossana. From the bottom of your heart, please be honest. Okay, do you have a feeling for him right now? Well, anyone can easily like Edward. He has good looks, is educated, a successful businessman and is wealthy. His standards are crazy, isn’t it? It’s that crazy Sherry. She just dumped Edward like that. And exchanged him for a man who was nothing, even in Edward Foot, with whom you can’t compare.”

“Because she was hit hard in her heart, Mica. We can’t blame her; she just followed what her heart was screaming for. ”

“Even so, Rossana. The only thing to be proud of about that man is that he’s good in bed. I’ve also sometimes wondered how Edward acted when it came to passion. Maybe there was something missing that made that crazy woman leave him?”

“I don’t know, Mica.”

“Didn’t you say that something happened between you two?” So, you know? Don’t you? ”

“I don’t know, Mica. He was drunk when he did that to me.”

“Okay, change our topic I understand that you don’t know if he’s good or bad. It’s come to bed. Just answer my question earlier, Rossana. What do you like him already?”

“Hmmm, I have a crush on him,” she admitted.

“Huh? It’s just a crush. I don’t believe you, Rossana. ”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“It’s up to you if you don’t want to believe, Mica,” she said with a smile. Yeah, she had a crush on her husband. She felt that when she saw him lying down on the bed yesterday while closing his eyes.

Mica grinned as well. She wished they might fall in love with one another. Even though heaven and earth stand between them, she sees them as a match and believes they have the same outlook. She is aware of Edward’s kindness, but she is also aware of his intense rage at Sherry’s did. Well, she thinks that when it comes to love, there is no such thing as heaven and earth.

“Son, I need to go home now,” said Edward’s mother. because his other guests have also bid their farewell to him.

“Mommy, there’s a party here at home later. Stay here first.”

“No need, I do want to lose my temper son. I’m just irritated when I see that cheating woman. I might not be able to stop myself. I’ll slap her for what they did to you!”

He just agreed with the mother. He knew her when she said she was still doing it, especially if she felt anger. Okay, mommy, if that’s what you want, I won’t force you to take care of it. He kissed her on the cheek before leaving.

When Edward saw Nena.”Auntie, has Rossana come out of the kitchen yet?”

“I don’t know, sir, I didn’t notice her.”

“Is that so, is everything ready, Auntie?”

“Yes sir, everything is ready for later.”

“Okay, I’ll go up first. I’ll just rest for a while.”

“Oh, okay, sir.”

When she spoke again, Edward turned his back to lady.”Ah, sir, wait.”

Edward faced the lady again. “What’s that, Auntie?”

“Should I go to Rossana, in the kitchen?”

“No need, auntie, you and Ambo can rest.”

“Alright sir, I’ll leave you alone.”

He nodded at her. He didn’t go upstairs to rest for a while; he headed to the kitchen to see his wife.

Rossana and Mica are still talking. So that Rossana can somehow forget what she felt just now.

When Edward opened the kitchen door, Rossana smiled properly while talking.

In his eyes, for a moment, he saw his wife in slow motion with every movement of her speech while smiling.

He said to himself, “She’s really pretty when she smiles,” and he felt his heart beat fast. And like he wanted to go near her, he hugged her and whispered, “My wife, you’re beautiful” and then kissed her on the lips. Because of what was running on his mind, he smiled.

Rossana’s smile suddenly disappeared when she saw Edward at the door. And her eyes fixed on him because of his smile.

“Oh, why, Rossana?” Mica asked because the smile on her lips disappeared suddenly.

Rossana didn’t answer because Edward spoke.

“Aren’t you going to take a break? You’ve been talking here for a while now. ”

Mica looked at him. It’s okay, Edward. Rossana and I just met. It was just a little conversation, ” Mica answered.

Edward looked at Rossana. After he looked at it no word he said he just left.

“Edward has changed so much. He’s never been like that before when he saw me. He was always smiling at me. It’s all Sherry’s fault. I wish she wouldn’t show up again. She’ll really get a bad word from me. She destroys everything! ”

“Don’t hold a grudge against him, Mica. You know the reason why she did this, don’t you? ”

“I’m not, Rossana, I’m just annoyed that you can make her bald because of what she did.”

“It’s getting dark. Do you want to eat, Mica? ”

“No thanks, I’m not hungry. If you want to do something, go ahead. I’ll just be here downstairs, Rossana. ”

“I was going to take a shower.”

“Alright, do it, Rossana. Oh, and make yourself beautiful. Later, I’ll fix you up, wear something sexy, make Edward drool with your beauty and cuteness, and rest back for time with him. ” Mica said and winked at Rossana.

“But Mi—”

“Pssst,” she said, pausing her protest. I’ll take care of you. Trust yourself. Go take a bath now.

Rossana immediately went up to their room. When she entered, he saw that Edward was already asleep, so he slowly walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.

While Rossana was taking a bath, Edward was distracted because he seemed to hear the sound of running water.

“What time is it?” he asked, taking the watch from the side table. “It’s six.” “I need to get ready for later,” he got up.

“Oh, I forgot to take my clothes again,” said Rossana, so she spread a towel first. Because he thought her husband was still asleep, she immediately opened the door to the bathroom.

When she opened it, Edward immediately turned to where she was.

Rossana was standing because he was looking at her. Then she don’t no what to do; she wants to go back inside, but how can she do that Edward already seen her.

“Damn!” Edward cursed himself because it looked like he wanted to grab his wife and lay her on the bed and make love with her. But he stopped himself and clenched his fist because he could feel his body posture changing.

Rossana simply walked to the cabinet to get her clothes. Edward’s eyes followed it.

Rossana quickly changed her clothes because she could feel her husband looking at her. When she got her clothes, she quickly went back to the bathroom to change.

When his wife was no longer in his sight, he said, ” Ahhh, why do I feel this way about her when I’m so distracted?”

Edward approached the door of the bathroom so he could take a shower. “Are you done?”

Rossana was shocked when she heard his voice.

“What the hell, hurry up, I’m going to take a shower too.”

“Ye—Yes, I’m done,” she said confusedly. She didn’t know if she was wearing it backwards or not because of his haste.

When she opened the door, it seemed that this scene had already happened to them in the hotel.

“Excuse me,” said Rossana.

Edward immediately retreated and he avoided touching their skin because he might not be able to control himself anymore. He quickly entered the bathroom to avoid it. Damn, he really can’t control himself. He immediately went to the shower to relieve his feelings for his wife.

Their guest arrived. At a house-blessing party, Edward greeted the friends who arrived.

“Rossana, this dress you’re going to wear?”

“Mica, this is clothes right and are they so daring? ”

“I really intend to bring this for you to wear. It suits you because your skin was flawless. ”

“But, Mica, I’m not used to dressing like that.”

“Well, train yourself, because your husband, who is always invited to social gatherings, of course you’re with him when someone invites him, get dressed quickly,” she ordered.

Rossana hesitated to wear it, but Mica insisted, so she wore it too.

“Wow, I told you, it suits you well. Maybe Rossana, Edward, can’t take his eyes off of you. Come put on some simple make-up.”

Rossana just obeyed Mica’s wishes; after all, there was nothing to lose.
