WIDOW IN MY BED

Amanda La Howard was late for breakfast with her extended family because she woke up late, slept poorly, and couldn’t sleep until after three o’clock. “Good morning. I’m so sorry for being so late.” Matt’s strange words disturbed Amanda’s mind.

“At least in my eyes, it made me so madly in love,” that man’s voice kept haunting her everywhere. “Would you like it or not? From now on, today, I’ll keep seeing you,” made Amanda even more stressed because of the noise in her head. “You belong to me now, my lady.”

I feel like I’m going crazy. Why is he getting so annoying after a few months? We weren’t supposed to meet like this. Amanda’s beating like hell.

Amanda’s family deliberately rented the De Opera Hotel ballroom for breakfast instead of breakfast in their respective rooms or the Restaurant Hotel for the famous family’s privacy. Of course, they’re Howard. Juggling the place into a buffet restaurant exclusively for his family is like snapping fingers, complete with waitresses and fancy dishes.

” Amanda is sitting next to me, please,” asked Selina la Howard, her cousin. She had been very hard to meet because she was busy with social activities. Amanda took a seat next to Selina, and the girl hugged her.

“Morning, Selina, all morning.” Not to forget Amanda also greeted her other cousins.

Selina always admires Amanda and considers her a role model. How can a person be born as Aphrodite in the real world, so graceful, even wearing only plain, almost perfect T-shirts? It makes her so sad when someone dares to hurt a woman as beautiful as Amanda. Selina believes that her cousin’s ex-husband has a mental disorder.

Selina said. “I want to talk more with you about cooking. I’ve been learning to cook by myself at home through video.”

“She wants to build a kitchen in a firehouse so that we become homeless,” said Juan La Howard-another cousin of Amanda, Selina’s younger brother.

“Juan! Shut your mouth!” Selina looks upset now.

“That’s the fact, you’re stupid in cooking, Selina. So stop now so our family doesn’t become homeless.”

Amanda had a little laugh at her cousins. “But it’s still amazing because Selina wants to try. Since when did you learn to cook, Selina?”

“Two months ago,” Selina told me a lot about her making her first pasta, until the incident when her hands were bleeding from a knife.

“…Okay, you have to promise to teach me how to cook when you have free time, don’t you?”

Amanda nodded casually. “Yes, Selina. You just come to my restaurant, and I’ll teach you everything.”

Sarah Howard stepped up to their table after she was sick of listening to Dad talk about chess. “Hi, I’m joining your table. Yeah, they’re boring.”

Everyone nods in affirmation. Amanda then asked. “Don’t Steve and Kellani have breakfast here, Mom?”

“Oh, my God, Amanda, of course, they prefer breakfast in their room so that they can continue to be alone,” said Selina, who was eating pudding.

“It’s true, Selina said. Her name is also Newlyweds, and we are just supporting actors here.” Sarah La Howard looked very happy when her son finally remarried.

“Morning, Babe.”

Oh, no! Oh, my God! Amanda was already panicking when she heard the heavy noise coming right behind her. It gets crazier when Matt kisses both cheeks when they’re clearly in front of Amanda’s family.

“Why are you here? You’re crazy! You just show up when I’m at family breakfast.” Amanda’s statement was immediately met with a real shock.

Matt’s giving her boyfriend-like treatment made Amanda’s head throb again. If there were a Doraemon door, Amanda would’ve used it to escape.

“Sweetheart, why are you like that? I know you’re mad at me, but not like this, especially since I’m your boyfriend. You’ve been ignoring me since last night.” Matt said with an expression that implies the suffering of being abandoned by his girlfriend.

Bloody hell! This man asked for his mouth cut off. Amanda’s already boiling inner self.

“You want to die…” Amanda hissed a little bit to Matt, her emotions are in the forelock now.

Matt smiled innocently at her, making Amanda want to tear the man’s mouth next to her.

Matt keeps everyone at the table focused on the two after asking for an extra seat to sit next to Amanda, wrapped around the waist of the woman he has considered to belong to.

Sarah saw the moment and misunderstood. And then interrupted for being too surprised, too curious. “Ehemm, may I ask what the boyfriend just said? What’s going on, Amanda?”

“Is this guy your boyfriend, Amanda?” Selina’s question added to everyone’s interest and those who looked for interest.

Matt then turns his position upright, smiling kindly and respectfully at Sarah. The man’s appearance was not very formal, enough with his black shirt and combed hair already made him so handsome.

“Hello, Auntie. We’ve met a few times before, but if you forget, I’ll reintroduce myself. I’m Matthew Wallace, the owner of this hotel and boyfriend of your daughter, Amanda.”

Amanda saw her mother smiling at him. And now Sarah’s face looks increasingly glowing, not expecting her daughter to have a boyfriend without her knowledge.

“No, Mom, he–”

“I’m sorry if I interrupted your breakfast. We were fighting, and Amanda didn’t want to pick up my phone, and finally, I decided to come here to see my girlfriend.” Matt and his smile were the most annoying. It turned out that Even Amanda was not allowed to explain because the man was so manipulative.

“Oh, Amanda, you can’t do that with your boyfriend. No wonder you refused to be introduced to Fabian last night. It turned out that there was already a handsome man next to you.” Sarah’s grumbling made Amanda even more frustrated.

“Fabian?” Matt frowned, staring at Amanda, asking for an explanation.

“It’s okay, Aunt Sarah. I have no problem with Amanda’s attitude. It’s also called a woman. If you’re upset, it’s like this.” Matt explained with a smile, but he murmured in his heart because his future mother-in-law mentioned another man’s name.

“Yes. I’m sorry, Matthew, that my daughter is causing you trouble. I didn’t expect Amanda to have a boyfriend,” Sarah explained, her eyes shining.

“Mom!” cried Amanda. Then, turn to look at Matt with fiery eyes.

“And you, now, come with me out!” Amanda dragged Matt away, no longer caring about his image that had been known to be graceful.

…

Amanda doesn’t understand where Matt got his whereabouts. Then he realized that if Matt owned the hotel where he was staying, that guy could go anywhere he wanted.

Amanda told Matt that she refused, but the man shamelessly told her family they were lovers.

At this moment, that shameless man was walking after Amanda from behind, his footsteps stopping on an emergency staircase. Amanda wants to go berserk. Look at her eyes-they look fierce. But what happens when he turns around? Matt pulls his body and hugs him tight.

“Miss you…”

Amanda escapes, and the reflex moves backwards when Matt is confused, looking at her, refusing to admit that she has been made to flutter.

“Are you crazy? In front of my family, you said all that nonsense!” Amanda’s voice rose, as did her pouty lips.

“Hey, calm down, instead of getting angry, you better hug me.” Matt’s voice felt soft, staring at Amanda while catching both sides of her cheeks. “Don’t you miss me, hmmm? It’s been 8 hours and 15 minutes and 28 seconds, Babe.”

Amanda freaked out to hear Matt’s cute voice, looking for answers. “Are you amnesiac? I told you I rejected you, refused, Matt.” Amanda’s voice sounded so stressed.

“After we kissed? After you sigh and say my name?”

“It was just a kiss, and I didn’t sigh,” Amanda answered firmly, trying to deny it.

“I’m sure you’ve done it with a lot of women. What difference does it make to me? Everything doesn’t mean anything, Matt. I also think so,” Amanda emphasized that she was still trying to resist the comfortable feeling given by the man in front of her.

“Yes.” Matt stroked his chin like he was thinking hard and continued, “I can’t deny that everything is true. But why do you look so down on your face now? Are you jealous?”

“Of course not.” Amanda tried to calm down, to say carefully.

“Don’t ever come to me again. You’ll only regret it in the future and won’t be happy living with me. Matt, I’m sure you can ask any woman to accompany you. They’ll be willing to live with a man like you.”

Amanda felt a part of herself hurt after her sentence just now. Her chest was cramped, and even her heart felt torn apart. As much as Matt is very angry with Amanda’s words, he hates being rejected. However, forcing Amanda roughly will only make it harder.

“No, I don’t want anything else. I want you as my girlfriend.” Matt insisted.

“I…” Amanda doesn’t know what else to say. “What do you want a girl like me for?”

“What kind of woman?” Matt frowned.

“An imperfect woman, a woman who will be only a burden to you later,” Amanda said softly when her eyes glazed. “My past is bad, and I’ve been through a lot. You’ll be embarrassed because I–”

Matt pressed his index finger on Amanda’s lips because she talked too much.

Looking at Amanda too closely, the man looks sad, and his voice gets deeper. “Stop lying to me and your feelings because I will never let you go. Listen to me, Amanda La Howard. What I’m going to do now is stay by your side, and you can count on me as much as you can.” Matt looked straight into Amanda’s eyes, holding her cheeks.

“…”

“…”

“Amanda, it doesn’t matter if right now you still can’t accept me because in the end, I will definitely make you accept me, love me, and be crazy about me. You will love me so much that you will become claustrophobic, miss me every day until it feels like dying, and be afraid to lose me. ”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Pressure after pressure keeps coming out of Matt’s mouth, causing Amanda to squeeze her chest. No, he doesn’t deserve it. In the end, he will be bad for his partner and get hit again, back to hell. Amanda doesn’t want to go back to hell. The trauma takes over her ego and devours her sanity.

Amanda remained silent, closing her eyes for a moment before finally answering. “It’ll be easier if you just find another woman, someone more deserving.” Matt’s face looked even more hurt because Amanda was too stubborn. Matt, we’re not kids. We can’t play like this.”

“Then we’ll take this seriously. I’m going to propose. I’m not going to play games anymore, Amanda.”
