My Sweet Wife

Old Lora, who was reading the newspaper at home, was so angry that she wanted to explode, “Look at this report, this Larissa is simply disappointing me! I’ve given her chances over and over again, genuinely took her as my future daughter-in-law, and look at her!”

“What’s wrong? Gramps.” Nathanael’s mother looked quizzically at the paper Old Lora was reading.

Nathanael Lora was eating his meal, and when he heard Old Lora say this, he remembered that before, Old Lora had purposely pretended to be confused and used Ewenny to set up a trap because he wanted him and Larissa to get married quickly. Saying this this time, this more than likely, Zafirah set him up again.

There aren’t many old people, like Old Lora, who love to worry and push their grandchildren to get married quickly.

Nathanael’s mother took the newspaper and looked at its contents, “Oh my God, is what is reported in this newspaper true? It shouldn’t be. Gramps, newspapers are outdated these days, what’s written on it, is not necessarily true.”

Nathanael’s mother is incredulous, and urges Old Lora not to believe it either.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Old Lora frowned angrily, “How is it not true? It says it’s been reported online as well, and there was a press conference. You go get the tablet and search it. Bring it over to me, I want to see so what … press conference!”

“This …” Nathanael’s mother was also a little hesitant, she was also worried that it was true and then the press conference would make the old man even more angry if Larissa said anything else.

The old man was old after all, and she was afraid that he would get sick from being angry, a risk she wouldn’t dare take.

Nathanael’s father saw Nathanael’s mother giving him a wink, so he quickly helped and said, “Dad, this news is true or false, we will be able to tell later. You eat first, the rice will get cold in a while, eating it will hurt your spleen and stomach.”

Seeing that the old man’s face hadn’t improved and he didn’t pick up his chopsticks, he could only advise, “Dad, Larissa and Nathanael’s matter, that’s their young people’s own business. You can’t help by being so concerned …”

“Yes, Dad. We’re not helping, we’re adding to the problem.” Nathanael’s mother chimed in.

After speaking, Nathanael’s mother watched as Nathanael’s father winked at her and she realized that she had just said the wrong thing.

But she was also telling the truth, Old Lora didn’t help and added to the problem by leaving Ewenny at home, knowing that the baby wasn’t Nathanael’s and not revealing it, causing Larissa so much grief. She feels that in a relationship like this, two people have to treat each other with sincerity and honesty, and there shouldn’t be any outsiders involved or setting up a trap.

In all fairness, she would have been furious if she had known that Nathanael’s father had a child outside the family. I don’t know if Larissa is still mad at her son or if she’s just too busy taking care of Cleo to care about her son because she really owes her a debt to Cleo for saving her.

Old Lora saw Nathanael’s mother shutting up and being nervous and careful, the anger on her face also slightly withdrew and she said with a stiff mouth, “Then I’m not helping, they’ve been talking for so many years, this is not going to get married or have kids, just talk about love right?”

“Dad, Nathanael and Larissa didn’t say they weren’t getting married either. What’s more, they’ve already had their wedding and the media has exposed it. The two of her and Nathanael are just one marriage license away from each other, and they were supposed to just take the time to get it.”

“Don’t mention to me that they got married!” The milk Old Lora had just picked up slammed back down on the table.

He looked over at Nathanael’s mother, blowing his eyes out in anxiety, “Didn’t you see the news report on it? The newspaper, you bring it here and read it carefully. It says it all, the person, Larissa, said it herself, has nothing to do with Nathanael two, and is not married.”

“They had a wedding before, that didn’t have a marriage license, what kind of marriage is that?!”

Old Lora finished blowing her mustache at Nathanael’s mother and went on to reprimand Nathanael Lora, “Nathanael you too, you should have gotten the license first, how long can it take you to get a license for this? Isn’t getting a license less time-consuming and easier than having a marriage ceremony?”

Being reprimanded by Old Lora, Nathanael Lora was and did not look up. That was when he was abroad and there was no chance of being able to get a license.

However, it was indeed his fault, the two of them had not been engaged for a year or two, he but took the time to go and get the license with the two of her as well.

“Dad, you just don’t talk about Nathanael. I think, this report, must be to attract people’s attention, nonsense report. Larissa, Larissa she is not that kind of person, how much she loves Nathanael, we all see in the eyes. Why does she have nothing to do, to have some press conference to tell people that she and Nathanael are not married?”

No sooner had Nathanael’s mother spoken than Old Lora yelled, “I told you to read the paper, didn’t you read it carefully?!”

“It says it! Larissa is getting married to Cleo, that’s why she’s having a press conference to explain to everyone what’s going on between the two of her and Nathanael!” Old Lora was pissed off at Nathanael’s mother.

Saying something made him tired and uncomfortable. The newspapers were all written to be read and not to be read!

This Nathanael’s mother was yelled at by Old Lora, she mumbled and took the newspaper, “I, I’ll look at it again, read it …”

Nathanael Lora’s mind boggles as he takes the newspaper from Nathanael’s mother’s hand.

He looks at the top, with Old Lora still talking in his ear, “Back in the day, when our family went to see Cleo in the hospital, that family got mad and kicked us out. This Larissa, in order not to be thrown out by them, got in his family’s face and said that she and Nathanael were not married and cleared her name with us, The Lora family.”

“I was wondering why Cleo’s family was so agitated before, it turns out that they want Larissa to marry their son, they are treating us, The Lora family people, as enemies for stealing their daughter-in-law!”

“If Larissa marries that Cleo kid, she won’t be our The Lora family’s daughter-in-law, so why are we still taking care of Cleo so much?”

“Don’t pay Cleo’s medical bills anymore, and don’t arrange any specialists!”

Nathanael’s father, who had always only asked about work, couldn’t sit still even now when he heard Old Lora say those words, “Confused! Nathanael, go and give Larissa a call to ask for clarification. It’s not like she has to marry Cleo to be grateful, it’s a way of repaying our The Lora family…”

Before Nathanael’s father could finish his sentence, he saw Nathanael Lora out the door.

Nathanael Lora drove and on the way to the hospital he dialed Larissa.

It took half a ring before Larissa answered on the other end of the line, “Hello.”

“I’ll be at the hospital soon, meet me at the hospital entrance later.” Nathanael Lora said this to her in a commanding tone.

Larissa on the other end of the phone was frowning tightly, she could guess what it was about, so she spoke, “Whatever you want to say to me, say it on the phone, I have to take care of Cleo, it’s not convenient for me to go out.”

Can’t come out to meet, but there are some things that can only be said clearly when said in person. But he could hear that her tone was determined, and he didn’t freeze with her.

“The news report said that you want to marry Cleo, you really want to marry Cleo?” His voice was heavy and low.

Larissa gripped her cell phone and just made a noise in response to a nasal voice, “Uh-huh.”

She didn’t have that much courage to say anything more to him, just listening to the sound of his voice talking, her heart and mouth were like pins and needles poking, it hurt like hell.

“I have things to do, I won’t talk anymore.” She hung up the phone hastily and pressed the phone off.

Larissa dreaded hearing Nathanael Lora’s voice again. She’d been convincing herself of that for days, since the night of the party, taking the same words she’d used to convince Cleo and going over them again and again.

She thought, Nathanael Lora married Zafirah, she married Cleo, and it worked out well, Cleo needed her, and she needed to pay Cleo back for saving her life, so that she could redeem herself, and not have to sleep and eat all night because of her guilt.

At this time, Phoebe came over with her cell phone, “Sister Larissa, President Nathanael is looking for you, answer it.”

“Sister Larissa …,” Phoebe looked at Larissa still holding the cell phone in her hand and guessed that maybe Larissa had just hung up.

Larissa thought that she still had to make an end, to talk to Nathanael Lora, otherwise he was going to find the hospital and she didn’t want to face him. There are some things that it would be more courageous to say, over the cell phone.

Larissa took the cell phone and put it to her ear to answer, “Nathanael Lora, it’s all true on the reports. I’ve decided to marry Cleo.”

“Larissa! I know you owe Cleo, I know he lost that leg because of you. I’m willing to pay him back and take care of him with you. I will not allow you to make that decision, do you hear me?!” Nathanael Lora suppressed the urge to explode, feeling something inside him about to blow up.

The moment he realized that Larissa was going to marry Cleo, he was so angry that his heart was about to explode.

Unable to hear Larissa on the other end of the line, Nathanael Lora spoke again, “Have you ever thought of me when you made that decision? What did you think of me? The person you love is me and you can only be my wife for the rest of your life. Do you hear me? Speak, Larissa, speak!”

Larissa tried to calm herself down as much as she could to restrain her feelings and spoke to him in her smoothest voice, “Love doesn’t have to mean marriage. I’ve thought about it, and I can’t be too selfish, I should take the responsibility I’m supposed to.”

“Cleo needs me. You …”

She was silent for half a second, organizing her words, “As for you, you can find someone who loves you, and over time, you’ll develop a bond. Just like before me and you, you didn’t love me before. So, time changes everything and fades feelings.”

“If you love me, please give me one last bit of respect and honor my choices. If Cleo can’t live without me, he can’t live, then I won’t live in this world. Nathanael Lora, do you want me to live?”

She was threatening him with death!

Nathanael Lora’s heart, which was about to explode a moment ago, was now suddenly frozen, as if it had been thrown into an ice hole and could not be fished out.

She, of all people, was threatening him with death. In Nathanael Lora’s ears, he still heard Larissa saying, “Nathanael Lora, you’re going to keep me alive, aren’t you? I know it, you want me to live. Let’s just, each of us, live well.”
