Being a Widow Because of Widow
Malu

"I understand that, honey. But, did you forget ... if Yuxian loves you? I'm sure that deep down, he really wanted to be present to see you married but, on the other hand, he also needed to care about his feelings. You know, seeing the woman he loves with another man would break his heart to pieces. I understand the situation Yuxian is in. Mel, trust me, if Yuxian will never hate you. Someday if his feelings are gone, he'll come back to see you." Luciano stroked his wife's face very gently.

"So, Yuxian doesn't hate me?"

"Yes, Wife. He will not hate his own friend. Although I knew Yuxian not too long ago, I could see him if he was a sincere and mature person. Now, stop talking about your best friend or I'll get jealous." Luciano stared at his wife.

"Haha, okay. I'm not going to talk about my best friend. I don't want my mafia husband to be jealous" Melissa said.

For some reason, after hearing his wife's words. Luciano suddenly fell silent. He seemed to be thinking about something, but I don't know what Luciano was thinking.

Seeing her husband who was suddenly silent, Melissa also stroked her husband's arm. "Mas!" call Melissa.

Luciano remained silent. He didn't even hear his wife's call. Melissa was a little surprised by her husband's reaction.

"Mas, what are you thinking? Why dream like that?" just Melissa gently.

"Eh .. Yes, dear. You asked me what just now?" Luciano woke up from his daydream.

"Sickness?" melissa asked as she placed her palm on Luciano's forehead.

"No, Honey. I'm not sick,"

"Lantas, why are you quiet? What are you thinking?" melissa asked with a curious face.

"Mel, there are actually things I should tell you about my real life" Luciano explained with a changed look.

Luciano this time looked at Melissa with anxious eyes. Melissa who saw it instantly knew, so she clasped her husband's hand tightly. "If it's the past, then I don't want to listen to it, Mas. I don't need to know your past, let it be the past. Now we focus on walking together towards the future" Melissa said softly.

"It's not just my past, Mel. This whole thing is a big secret of my life and we're my family and I think you deserve to know. Because you are my wife" said Luciano.

"Big secret?" Melissa widened her eyes. "What big secret, Mom? What do I not know about your life and your family?" melissa asked with a curious look.

"Actually I am ...."

Gebt ....

At night, Yuxian was sitting on the balcony, holding a book in his hand. He was focusing on reading a book about his family business. Ever since he returned to his country, he became a different man from the old Yuxian.

The current Yuxian was truly very ambitious. He was adamant before he won the tender then he would not stop working hard. He even cooperated with business people from various countries so that he could succeed with his own business.

But this time, Yuxian seemed not to be focusing on reading his book. He often closes and reopens his books. This guy did it a few times. A few minutes later, he threw the feather in any direction. There was clearly resentment on the face of this Chinese man.

His face was flushed red and his two clenched hands were staring straight. "Aarghhh!" yuxian shouted with his head turned to look at the dark sky.

It seemed to perfect his mood.

Without Yuxian noticing, a girl was standing up and picking up the book that Yuxian had thrown earlier. The girl was none other than Jian Ying, Yuxian's younger brother. Slowly Jian Ying walked over to her brother who was looking chaotic.

Yuxian who heard that immediately turned his head towards his sister. "Jian, what are you doing here?" asked Yuxian while neutralizing her frustration.

"Don't answer any more questions, Ge! Tell me, Gege why is it upset like that, heum?" Jian Ying stared intently at his brother.

"It's okay, Jian. I just feel tired. Lately I've been working late and I've been having insomnia so much that I'm upset like this" Yuxian replied by lying.

"really? Gege wasn't lying, was he? Don't-don't Gege is thinking of Kak Mel again, hiao .. ngaku, Ge," seduced Jian Ying while raising his eyebrows.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why would I think of Mel who's already happy with another man?" Yuxian turned his face away from Jian Ying.

"Lie!" stern Jian Ying. "Gege lied, I'm sure if Gege is thinking about Mel's sister, answer honestly, Ge. I'm not going to shout this out to anyone including Mama.

"Promise?" Yuxian thrust his little finger.

Jian Ying nodded steadily. "Yeah, I promise." Jian Ying hooked her little finger with her brother's little finger.

"You're right, Jian. Right now I'm thinking about Mel, I feel like I've become a bad friend to him" Yuxian said in tears.

"Gege crybaby! Don't cry dong, tell me first why Gege can talk like that? What did Gege do until Gege spoke up if Gege wasn't a good friend?"

"Today is her wedding day. I was supposed to attend the wedding, but what did I do? With her cowardice I did not come to her wedding. Just because I think about my own feelings. Aren't I being too selfish, Jian?"

"What Gege is doing right now is right, sometimes we also have to think about our own feelings. If not ourselves, then who else? Already, don't think too much. Brother Mel will also understand why Gege did not come," Jian Ying explained.

"really? He's not disappointed that I didn't come?"

"Of course not, if Gege doesn't believe I'll call him right now." Jian Ying called Melissa.

Seeing that Yuxian panicked and immediately snatched the phone from his sister. "Hey, Jian Ying! What the hell are you doing? Why are you bothering him?"

"I'm just making sure, now talk to Gege's best friend. The phone's been connected." Jian Ying blinked one eye.

"What?" Yuxian widened his eyes. He doesn't know if his phone is connected.

Phone connected!

"Hallo, Jian," came a woman's voice from across the phone. That woman is none other than Melissa Jordan.

Yuxian was silent for a moment. He was confused what to say to his best friend. For months they have not talked to each other even just chat they rarely.

Therefore, Yuxian was a little nervous as soon as she heard Melissa's voice. Meanwhile, Jian Ying who saw her brother was silent like a statue only shook his head. With a lightning-fast motion, he reclaimed his phone.

"Hallo, Brother Mel. I'm sorry, just now, the one holding my phone, Gege. Gege gerogi because he heard Big Brother's voice," joked Jian Ying as he stuck out his tongue a sign of weakness.

"Jian, what are you talking about?" Yuxian's face immediately blushed like a boiled crab, because he was so embarrassed.
