The Proxy Bride. Chapter 15
“EDWARD, drink slowly. You’re turning the alcohol into water?” Al said.
“Something wrong, bro? Well, you’re just married and you get drunk right away. ” Ferry said, too.
“Did you regret signing your marriage contract with…” Al looked at Edward, “What’s her name, bro?”
“Rossana!”
“Wow! Rossana. Like, Rossana Roces, she’s got a nice body. ”
Edward looked at Al evilly. “She’s my wife.” He was immediately jealous.
“Okay fine, I’m just telling the truth, bro.”
Ferry patted Al and shook his head. It seems to be saying he is sensitive now.
“So, what’s your problem, Edward?” Ferry asked.
“Don’t mine me, let’s just drink,” he replied to the two.
His two friends looked at each other.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Yes, let’s drink until we can, but bro slowly okay, so we have fun.”
“Alright, but I want it to hit me right away. Then I can sleep quickly when I get home. ”
You mean, bro? You share a room together? ”
“Yes!”
“I thought you were mad at her? Because she tricked you?”
“So, you want me to sleep in the other room, Al?”
“Well…”
“That’s right, because they’re married, bro.” Ferry replied immediately. Then he kicked Al foot to tell him to stop talking about them.
Al just shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject. “Bro, why do you get drunk? Is it because you cannot resist the charm of your wife?”
Edward secretly smiled at what his friend said. Yeah, his friend is right. Drink, let’s not talk about that woman; she’s out of here okay. We are men. We talk about us, not her. ”
“Okay, ” the two answered.
“By the way, Ferry and Al, before I forget, tomorrow is the house blessing of my house, so you should be there okay.”
“Of course, bro. I’m the designer of your house, ” Ferry answered.
“How about you, Al? Are you coming? ”
“Sure, Edward. I’ll be there.
“Good. I’ll wait for you.”
The two nodded.
“Mother, father, I’m leaving. It’s already late; they might be waiting for me. Rosemary, take good care of them, especially Rowell. ”
“Yes, Sister, I’ll take care of them.”
“Alright, I’m leaving.” She hugged them one by one.
“Rossana, be careful. If your boss behaves badly, go home immediately,” said the mother.
“Yes, mother, so get better. On my return, you will meet me at the airport.” She said with a smile on her lips.
“Of course, my daughter.”
“Sister, be careful,” her siblings said at the same time.
“For you, yes, I’m leaving.” She quickly left their house. She might not be able to hold back the tears that were about to break out if she stayed long.
Her family just looked at her. You can see the sadness in their eyes.
When Rossana was a little far from their house, this is where her tears flowed. “My God, I’m sorry if I lied to them. I have to do this. I don’t want them to trouble me if I tell them the truth. ” She wiped her tears and hurried towards the place where she would ride a jeep.
“Edward, that’s enough, you can’t drive home.” Ferry stopped him from drinking.
“I can drive. Okay, I’ll go home in just two shots.”
“That’s right, okay bro, tomorrow you’ll be busy with your house blessing.”
“Yes, I know that.”
He did the next two shots. “So, let’s go, or should I leave you here?” he asked the two.
“We’re going home too, so we can rest.”
“Stay here, bros, look for girls.”
“Women’s? There’s a lot, bro, even if we’re outside, let’s go,” said Ferry.
They stomp up on Al when they go straight to the counter to pay for their drinks.
When they arrived at the parking area, “Edward, are you sure you can drive?” Al assured
Sure, I’m not drunk. I just drank. ”
“Okay. I thought not. I was just going to drive you. But drive slowly so the police won’t notice you on the road. ”
“I am okay. You too, be careful on the road. We have both been drinking.”
“Yeah, but you drank more than Ferry and I, Edward.”
“I can manage myself, go.” He pushed the two away.
They got into their respective cars.
When Rossana arrived at her husband’s house, she immediately rang the doorbell. She’s nervous because she’s gone too long. It’s almost eleven pm.
“I hope Aunt Nena is still awake and he’s sleeping already.” The last thing said is specific to the husband.
“Ambo, open the gate; it might be Rossana or Sir Edward.”
“You do, Nena. My foot hurts.”
The lady looked at her husband, especially his leg, which was slightly swollen because of arthritis. “Did you take your medicine?” She held his foot. “It’s stunning, Ambo.”
“Yes, I took it already. Tomorrow there will be no pain and it will be just swollen,” he replied as the lady stood up to open the gate.
“Oh, Rossana, it’s good you came home.”
“Auntie Nena, I’m sorry if I disturbed your rest,” she apologized.
“No need to say that, Rossana, this is our job. Come in now.”
“Thank you, is Edward asleep yet?” she asked.
“He’s not here yet; he came back but left right away. He’s looking for you.”
“W—why did he look for me?”
“Of course he will do that because you’re his wife.”
“Alright, Auntie, I’m sorry again for the trouble. Take a rest.”
“Have you eaten, Rossana?”
“Yes, Auntie, thank you.”
“Oh okay, I’ll leave you and you can rest too.”
Rossana smiled at the lady and after she left, she immediately went upstairs.
When she was upstairs, Rossana didn’t know if she was going to enter their room or not. She kept going back, then held back again.
“Huh? Where can I sleep in another room if there are no beds in the rooms here? There’s only one bed in the master bedroom.
Edward really made it a point not to design the other rooms because he wanted his wife to make her own choices, so only the master bedroom was made with a bed.
Rossana had no choice but to enter their room. When she entered, he saw Edward’s thing.
“We are really going to be together. What will happen to me with him? Will I be miserable?” She sighed deeply. “Oh, I’ll take a shower before going to sleep.”
For a moment, Edward was outside the gate because he had a remote control and he was able to enter freely. He didn’t expect his wife to come. Maybe it won’t come back. He continued to go up to the room and immediately laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.
She was enjoying her bath. She spent a little time in the bathroom. She just had a good bath now.
Edward got up because he felt the call of nature. He staggered towards the bathroom. Now only he felt drunk. He never got drunk when they drank together. He walked with closed eyes.
After Rossana finished a shower, she just spread out a towel on her body because she didn’t have any clothes inside, not even underwear. She was confident going out because she knew Edward wasn’t here yet.
When she opened it, Edward turned the doorknob, so Edward lost his balance and fell on Rossana.
“Oh!” Rossana shouted and hugged Edward.
Because of Rossana’s sweet smell and because he felt something soft, he became aware. and slowly opened his eyes.
“My wife, my lovely and beautiful wife,” he said.
Rossana was suddenly confused by what he said.
“Ar… are you drunk?”
“Hmmm, just a little,” he replied.
“Are you going to take a bath, okay?” She pushed him at the same time to get out because she was uncomfortable in their position.
because Edward was drunk.
Before Rossana could get away, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug.
“You’re going to run away from me, my wife?” He whispered in Rossana’s ear as his lips touched hers.
Rossana stood up straight from what he did because the tickle caused by Edward’s lips touching her ear penetrated her entire body.
“Edward, let me go,” she said.
“For what? I’m enjoying holding you right now!”
“You—you’re just drunk, Edward. That’s why you’re like this.”
“You are so lovely.” He moved his body away from her.
Rossana stared at the man. He smiled sweetly at her. Suddenly, she feels butterflies flock to her heart. He’s really handsome, especially when this up close.
Hey Rossana, don’t give in. Her mind screamed.
Rossana just stared at the man. Edward smiled even more. And gradually, he brought his face closer to
“He’s going to kiss me?” But she thought about what he said to him, and he came to his senses. “You’re only drunk so you can say that. Let me go, Edward. Take a shower if you are going.”
Edward stopped when he brought his face closer to her face and his eyes looked at her lips, and the only thing on his mind at that moment was to taste his wife’s lips again. while he was staring at Rossana’s red lips.
Go kiss her. He’s your wife. said a voice he heard.
“Yeah, you’re right, she’s my wife.” He eagerly pecked his wife’s lips.
Rossana’s eyes widened at what he did. The truth is that she expected him to do this, but her shock was still there and she tasted the alcohol on his lips again. It also makes her drunk.
She was about to kiss him back, but suddenly his movements stopped. And he could hear his soft snoring.
She smiled and shook her head. If he didn’t stop, really give in, she admitted to herself. Yes, she had a crush on him.
She walked while she supported him. “Sleep well.” She led him to the bed and just took off his shoes.
She quickly dressed in her pajamas. And lie down too. It’s a good thing that he was too drunk.
Edward felt for his wife. He fell asleep for a while, but his spirit was awakened by the movement of both of them. He wants to sleep, but his mind is on his side. He wants her now.
Rossana thought the person next to her was completely asleep. She is not comfortable with them sleeping in the same bed. There is a couch in their room and she can only sleep there. She was lowly getting up. She was about to stand up when Edward suddenly got up, pulled his wife, and planted a kiss on his lips. He couldn’t stop himself. When he felt her movement, and he thought he was going to leave the bed, he quickly stopped her with his kiss.
Rossana just let it go. He couldn’t stop him because he was as drunk as when he first took her.
That night, Edward took her wife again. In every move he made, there was no gentleness. Is it because he was drunk?
She didn’t know what she was feeling because every time her husband thrust her in violently, she burst into tears.
When Edward saw his wife’s tears, He stopped what he was doing. He came to his senses and suddenly left her on top of her and lay speechless. “You are so stupid, Edward!” he said to himself.
Rossana leaned over, wiped her tears away, and closed her eyes.
