FAMILY 104. UNPREPARED s POV The woman who was sleeping next to me had already dozed off, but she was still in a semi-seated position with a book propped up on her chest when I woke up, and it was already after three o’clock in the afternoon. I flickered my eyes open and stared at my wife’s lovely face while she was asleep. I wasn’t accustomed to her being so reserved. She didn’t even put up a fight when I gave her a hug and buried my face in her neck, so I could inhale her scent, which was a combination of vanilla and strawberry and was one of the things I had missed the most. In point of fact… I was baffled as to why I believed it was imperative that I constantly show concern for her. Didn’t she and Brylee essentially share the same appearance? If I had chosen Brylee, she would have been as submissive as a little puppy, but unfortunately… Celine was as belligerent as a porcupine that was covered in sharp quills. She would frequently silence me with her harsh words, leaving me unable to respond. “Thank you, Sebastian…” That old image played out once more in my head. In the rain… in spite of the fact that she was being bullied, she chose to maintain her composure even though she looked terrible and was ashamed. Despite this, when I was finally able to save her, she thanked me in just the most passing manner. Yes, I remember that at the time… the way she looked at me seemed to be warning me not to interfere in what she was doing. Possibly, it was from that moment on, when I started to get a little intrigued about what else she was like. Even though it was obvious that she was terrified of snakes on the desolate island, she nonetheless
dutifully sucked the poison out for me. She did not show the slightest sign of reluctance at that time… and I wasn’t even given the opportunity to express my gratitude to her. Because I recalled that she had assured me that she would never be indebted to anyone… She claimed that she was able to save me because I had helped her in the past, specifically during that time when it was raining and when Julio Lauren was beating her to death. Did she really need to be so calculative? It wasn’t until after I had Jason do further investigation into her that I realized she wasn’t nearly as terrible as the rumors made her out to be. On the other hand… I came to see that she was self-reliant and capable, friendly and submissive, as well as intelligent and gifted. Unfortunately, she had a cold and superior demeanor by nature. Regardless of how other people evaluated her… she would always be the last one to defend herself. On the surface, she and her identical twin sister appeared to be the same person; nonetheless, their personalities were very different. She was without a doubt a girl who was not romantic in any way, and she had the ability to easily anger me. Making delicious bread? Treating a man’s sexual problems? I had no doubt in my mind that she was intentionally trying to provoke me. But despite this, I still decided to take the bait. In point of fact, on the day of the wedding, I was aware that it was inevitable for her to show it there. Following my examination of the video, I requested that Jason carry out additional in-depth research about Brylee. Not until then did it dawn on me that Brylee had never been anything but hypocritical. And I also found out about the dispute between the twin sisters. Therefore, it was inevitable that Celine would show up on that day. I wasn’t anticipating that she
would be able to convince Cynthia, since I wanted to see if she could find her own way in. It was certainly unexpected. After all… Cynthia didn’t like her very much before. In regard to that video where I was having an intimate moment with her in the restroom… “Sebastian… what kind of a woman have you provoked by your actions? Isn’t this video recording a little bit too intimate for public consumption? Shouldn’t you just throw it away rather than show it to everyone at your wedding?” The person who did the talking was a man who wore eyeglasses. He was not an outsider reporter but a good friend of mine… Louis. He was not your typical journalist in any way. His father held the position of Chief Executive Officer at a well-known media company. It had been a month since Louis returned from Germany, and during that time, his father made arrangements for him to complete his internship at an entertainment company. However, in order to prevent any rumors from spreading, he has kept his true identity a secret from everyone. On the other hand, he acted on impulse and frequently divulged information that others would not have dared to reveal. Celine took note of this courageous young reporter and made the decision to collaborate with him as a result. When I stared at the video that Louis had in his hand, I couldn’t help but raise the corners of my lips. I was completely unprepared for the fact that my wife had led me to the restroom just to prepare for this. How audacious… but I did like it! “She requested that the video should be played on your wedding day. Do you want me to stop her from doing that? I’ll figure out how to my hands on the original video and rip it to shreds!” After I gave Louis. the signal to stop the video that
was still playing on his phone, he spoke what he had to say afterward. “I want you to play the video clearly on my wedding day…” I sported a grin as I ordered before lighting up a cigarette. “Why are you smiling like that?” Louis made a frowning face as he sat down in the chair that was in front of me inside my office. “You’re aware that once the video is made public, it will completely destroy your reputation, right? It’s clear that she has some nefarious motive for keeping the video from you-either she’s after your money, or she’s hoping to win your hand in marriage!” Louis was trying to warn me about her because he had observed a great deal of behavior similar to hers in the past. After all, he had a lot of connections, therefore he frequently encountered women in that position. “Do you agree that she has a very lovely personality?” Instead, I asked the question while smirking broadly across my face. Even the thick cloud of smoke could not hide the smug grin that had become permanently affixed to my lips. Louis scowled and looked at me for a while… studying my face as he did so, before finally moving on. “Do you have feelings for that woman?” Today’s Bonus Offer This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
