The Bride

Chapter 22



Ms. Sanchester hugged me from the side and kissed my cheek. He was so soft that he was afraid to hug him from behind and he looked sadly into those blue eyes. “Nice to meet you, baby.”

He added with a big smile.

I turned and looked at the old woman who was drinking tea as if she were standing in front of the yen. She was glowing and my eyes fell on platinum hair that was too bright for her age.

“She is my sister Lilian.” Ms. Introducing Sanchester.

“Hello.”

“Come here, doll.”

A warm hug and pat on the back surprised me. “She is very young and beautiful.” He said looking at me over my head.

on my feet

“Now I understand why my naughty nephew couldn’t resist you.”

He said and I laughed and everyone laughed. “How many months?”

He asked, looking at my belly, which was too flat to convince anyone I was holding a baby. I tried to shoot him but I was afraid they would notice because they were all looking at me. “Three months.”

So I agreed.

“Wow, and the baby bump is still hidden.”

“He’ll probably be here soon.”

Nana said she will be with me and I love her very much. At 82, he was still alive and very strong. Our grandparents took care of them at home whenever we visited them.

They only talked to our parents because they forgot we were grandchildren. Mother always reminded them, but they still forgot. One day, an old woman there asked:

“Do you have children?”

This was our sixth visit. Her paternal grandmother didn’t even remember that he was going to marry her.

My parents were tired so they didn’t visit us. existence

It’s been three years since I last saw them.

“Are you taking a pregnancy yoga class?”

Lilian asked. “Not”.

“I heard it helps a lot. Not far from here is a man who runs a yoga studio. You can sign up by calling him.

“If you want.”

He added when I said nothing. “Yes i will.”

I nodded, hoping he had no other reason to doubt me. He soon talked to a friend who said it started on a Saturday after I finished the phone call.

The rest of the day went better than I expected and Lillian wasn’t too bad. He joked about children and made me laugh until my stomach hurt.

Nora came home from school and joined us, Eduardo and I took a selfie before we left. “How was that?”

Tristan asked me at dinner.

“It was fun, sis, it was so much fun.”

“Please tell me I’m not kidding.”

“Unfortunately, she only talked about the kids, but I’m sure she’ll tell me next time.”

He said and laughed at the end. “What else was he doing?”

“She asked me to take a yoga class.” “Yoga class?”

“Yes, this is a yoga class for pregnant women.” ‘What the? You agreed?

“There’s nothing wrong with taking pregnancy yoga classes. It’s easier because we’re pregnant.”

“we?”

He pointed his smile and I looked at him and ate my food. “Hey, if you don’t want to go, I’ll tell you…”

“Well, I’m tired of sitting here all day.”

“Okay, but tell me if it makes you uncomfortable.”

“It’s just yoga.”

“You don’t look like an athlete.”

“Oh, you think I’m fat?” – No, – he laughed.

“You are perfect, I love your body. Fat or not, it doesn’t change how I feel about you.

I laughed so he wouldn’t stutter. He looked at me confused. I was playing with you, I said with a smile.

“You are a rare breed.” I didn’t ask. After eating, I left the restaurant and went to the next room. Tristan continued to type on the phone with one hand and put the other in the pocket of her black pants. I was thinking of stretching my legs…

Watch him fall because he’s looking at nothing but the screen.

He hung up as if he knew what was about to happen and I groaned inwardly as I descended the stairs. “good night.”

As I walked back to my room, I waved a short hand. And he followed me.

“Did you forget the way to your room?” He is there.’

I talked to him and showed him the room and he walked past me and entered my room.

“Tristan?”

I followed her and when I entered the room she was lying on my bed. With a small smile on her face, she patted the empty chair next to her.

On Saturday I sat on a purple yoga mat with 10 other women

Both have baby tumors. I was an only child, but several people said you should be here? see As instructed by my yoga instructor, I found two women staring at my stomach.

I liked it because I wasn’t pregnant like everyone else. “Excuse me. What semester is it?” whispered the woman to my left. ‘Um… first of all.”

– Five.

They both spoke at the same time and nodded slowly. “You’re very lucky. You should see me in the first trimester.”

said the man to my right

– I’ve been swollen for two months too.

said the woman behind me. I didn’t even know he was listening.

After the yoga class, I was the only one with a flat stomach, so everyone talked to me, and for some reason, everyone was surprised. When I got home, my back hurt. I went to bed immediately without showering. I woke up to the sound of someone whispering my name and tickling me, and when I opened my eyes, Tristan was frowning.

“What time is it?”

It was dark outside. “It’s almost nine o’clock, are you safe?” – Yes, my back hurt a little. – You slept in sneakers.

She said this is really necessary when I untie my laces, take off my shoes and gently massage my toes.

“Loved it. Everything appealed to my flat stomach.”

Today, I feel like a celebrity,” he said with a smile. He put my legs down and climbed on the bed, spread my legs and stood between my legs.

– Uh… what are you doing? “I’ll give you a back massage.”

He glanced over the moles on my back with his thumb and said that the flow of sweet air in my veins hit both sides of my waist. The massage started well but was gentle and I bit my lip to stop the moans forcefully as he looked at me with a smile on his face.

this devil!

As if the torture wasn’t enough, I leaned down and poured wet kisses all over her body.

I bent down to make no sound. When his lips lifted, he pushed my shirt up, reached up and wrapped his arms around my ribs.

My stomach churned and stopped, I could hear Tristan laughing as he covered his face with his hands in shame. – Someone opened it.

He kissed my belly and pulled my shirt.

– I’ll bring you something to eat.

He stepped back, got out of bed, grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. Disguised at the wrong time, always resentful? I never said I was hungry. I grumbled in my stomach and made that stupid noise again.

– Wait, my friend.

Tristan said patting my belly. And we both laughed as we left the room. It’s been a week since I started taking yoga classes, and to be honest, a little practice has made me feel better.

I made friends and avoided conversations about pregnancy. One day someone came to me and said that I did not know that pregnant women have this disease, but I learned from them.

Karen and Adrian said they were tired of staying in hotels after returning early from vacation. Three days later, Adrian called and invited them to the wedding.

“Wow, this is going so fast.”

I said to myself, looking for a nice dress. I opted for a mermaid red dress with too much lace and it looked neat.

It arrived the next day with a small wallet that we bought together. I finished

I am sure that for others the dress was not tight because I was pregnant.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I started getting ready two hours before we left because I didn’t want to be late. I wore black Christian Louboutin stone heels, tied my hair up in a neat ponytail, and smiled like it suited me.

I applied mascara and eyeliner and then set it with powder. She wore Kylie Jenner’s nude lipstick and wore her jewelry.

Tristan knocked on my door, I was ready and I opened the door with a big smile. Luckily he wasn’t wearing that sweater, he looked better in a gray suit.

I opened my mouth to say something but covered my lips with a kiss

It was short, but sparks flew all over my body. “I had to”.

He whispered softly as he took a step back, his hand not moving around my waist.

“You look too good to be true.”

“It was like an insult.”

– Oh… Uh… You look beautiful, don’t you think?

I laughed at how insecure he was. “And you look just like the prince from the Disney stories I read as a kid.”

“What the?” He looked confused and disappointed.

“They’re too good to be true.”

I said, he laughed lightly. “Beautiful.”

I whispered to him to adjust his tie and his blue eyes looked at me like he was trying to tell me something but he didn’t.

so much.

“Thanks for taking off my lipstick.” I joked. “Can you give it back?”

He leaned in to kiss me, but I stopped him.

“I’m late.”

She cried and I laughed. I walked out of the house with his arms around my waist until I got to the car. The journey took 25 minutes.

It was a big hotel and I knew the place, but I had never been inside. Tristan helped me up the stairs and I entered the luxurious building.

The banquet hall was large and crowded, but I arrived 5 minutes early. The decorations were so beautiful and so beautiful and what I saw was brilliant.

“There he is.

Adrian’s voice was heard. He was wearing a nice black suit and Karen followed him in a short dress and she looked beautiful.

We hugged and complimented her dress. “You look good.”

Adrian smiled and told me. “you also.”

I got something from a passing waiter and everyone smiled at me. “It’s alcohol-free.” I defended myself.

“You stay together while we receive the others.”

Adrian told us before leaving with Karen. I had a mission tonight and that was to ask Adrian who Nadia was. I expected

Spending time with her will soon fulfill my wish. Tristan was talking to his business partner when Adrian came over and offered me another glass of apple cider.

“Red looks better than any other color.”

“Now it looks ugly in a different color.”

I frowned. “No, you look beautiful in any color.”

he said after a short laugh. “Oh, thank you.”

I put my hand on my chest and said it’s time to ask about Nadia. – Can I ask a question?

I asked, looking at Tristan who was preoccupied with everything.

Talk to the person in front of you.

“sure.”

– Do you know who Nadia is?

I asked him and he immediately looked at Tristan. “Is she Tristan’s wife?” “What the?”

He was confused.

“Are you Nadia Tristan’s wife?”

– No, – he said with a gentle smile. “Then who is he?”

“Um… this”

“good.”

I heard from behind.

“good.”

I turned to see Tristan smiling, but at the same time

look at me Karen came and got Adrian.

She wanted to date the wrong person

stopwatch girl.

I was left with Tristan, who seemed very upset. He dumped the rest of the wine on a nearby table, grabbed my hand and dragged me to the exit door.

I didn’t want to make a scene, so I decided not to fight, but when I got to the parking lot, I caught myself. I let go of his hand to stop him and he unties his tie and looks at me.

“Why are you so stubborn?” “It’s my hobby.”

I gave him the cold shoulder. “Get in the car.”

he said with a cold expression.

‘But we just got here, it’s your best friend’s wedding and we can’t…

Go away, you didn’t even tell him we were leaving.

He ignored everything I told him and got into the car. – It’s true? I screamed.

I won’t leave, I said with my arms crossed. “I’ll tell you what you need to know.”

he said quietly.

“good.” I said and got into the car. The ride was quiet and I noticed he didn’t take his hands off the wheel and didn’t say a word since we left.

I looked at his hardened and softened face as if I had fought his emotions. “I don’t know why you’re upset, I didn’t get the answer I was looking for.”

“I warned you to stop. You don’t need to know who the hell it is! You don’t need to know everything, Chloe!”

Oh, you’re back with Chloe now? good. ‘Why can’t you talk? You told me about my past.

– I never asked that!

He turned to me and looked at me with cold eyes. “Why can’t you say something once?” You don’t care about my past or my private life!

he cried “I’ll take care of you if you need my help…”

“The only help I need from you is to convince the family that we love each other and that you are holding my baby.”

he cut

‘I thought you’d open up because there’s something between us…

Ask me!”

“what the? between us?”

As if these words seemed strange to him, he looked at me with mocking sea eyes.

“Are you still a stupid, desperate child who doesn’t know the difference between lust and love?” There’s nothing between us, Chloe. I thought you were wiser in this matter after all the bad experiences you had with your ex.”

It was the first thing someone said to me that left me completely speechless and every word was like lightning. I try to catch my breath

Can someone break me down with words?

He called me a sick, very sick, desperate child and saw me as such. I felt a great longing, myself

I still didn’t know what it was. – Chloe?

His voice was soft, but I knew the monster behind it. “Stop the car.”

Without looking at him, I unbuckled my seat belt and waited for him to stop.

– cash…

– Stop the car. Otherwise, break the window and jump!

He stopped it and I opened the door. – You are a fool!

He didn’t care if he spat, slammed the door or damaged the car.

– cash!

I didn’t look back and I didn’t know where to go, so I kept walking. I wanted to go somewhere other than Tristan.

My heels clicked on the floor.

He continued to walk forward, I did not hear his voice again, and when I turned, I saw him leaving. Wow, I expected him to come with me and apologize before I agreed to go home with him, that’s too bad.

The cold air made me realize what I was wearing. I tried to think of something other than what I said in the car, but the fact that he drove the car without apologizing wasn’t meant to listen to me, but rather to hurt my heart.

To be honest, my delusions have returned, and now I’m determined to find out more about Nadia. Her feet shuddered with short steps in her heels, and when she looked around, there were only four of them.

I reached up and tapped my heel and sighed in relief as my feet relaxed on the cold floor. I was walking down the sidewalk with one hand on my heel and I knew it wasn’t far from home.

I wondered if my parents would come in if I knocked, I didn’t want to go back to Tristan’s house and be upset all night. Another ten minutes later, I pulled up at the bus stop and sat down.

I could sleep here and hate how my life turned out. I leaned against the metal couch where I wanted to be three again and groaned. The age when you didn’t have to worry, the age when you were so excited.

I closed my eyes in tears, trying to calm my mind. – Chloe?

I knew that voice. “Gray?”
