CEO Internship And Virgin Mom
Chapter 55 The Substitute Wife

"Mr Almero, are you kidding me?" sentak Diva's. He did not expect this man who was with Aura to even dare to challenge him back. While Aura who was sitting across the table was very surprised. He thought Almero was saying that to make fun of him. It is impossible if this handsome, richly grown man intends to marry a sick girl like her.

"I'm serious about my every word, ma'am. I will definitely deliver Aura to the house no later than nine p.m. If not, you can come to the Adhiyaksa Group office to sue me" Almero said.

Hearing Almero's promise, Diva tries to believe. It was free for him to argue at length with this man. The most important thing for him was that Aura returned home safely.

"Well, I keep your promise, Mr. Almero. I'm waiting for your arrival at home."

"Thank you for your trust, Madam," replied Almero closing the Diva call.

"Sir, what is your purpose in talking to my Aunt?" ask Aura. I don't know why his courage just suddenly appeared.

"Which talk do you mean?" almero asked casually. He imitates the style of Aura who likes to talk pieces. Moreover, he wanted to teach this girl a lesson for having hidden her identity. When Aura confessed this afternoon, then he did not need to panic about how to go to the foundation.

"Don't pretend, sir," said Aura.

"I really don't know. If you don't want to explain, then don't expect you'll get an answer."

Aura squeezed her own fingers. He didn't understand why Almero turned so annoying. However, he had to demand an explanation from this man so that his aunt would not misunderstand him.

"Why do you say.want to marry me?" asked Aura nervously.

Almero only smiled slantedly as he returned the documents he held to Aura.

"Why do I answer it now?"

Aura immediately stopped talking because the waiter had come to bring the food they ordered. Without guilt, Almero ate the dish. He let Aura who continued to be agitated because he had not received certainty.

In her chair, Aura just looked at her food without interest. His heart was still unsettled whenever he remembered Almero's ambiguous remark. He was afraid that his aunt would be prejudiced about his existence in this hotel. Even worse if his aunt and father forced him to marry Almero just because of misunderstanding.

"Why don't you eat? Or do you want to get sick on purpose so I can marry you soon?" almero asked to look at Aura who had not touched her food.

"Master, don't talk carelessly. Who wants to marry you? I still want to go to college and work as a journalist" Aura replied. Seeing Aura turning more fierce, Almero was even more excited about teasing the girl. He liked Aura's cheeks which always blushed when embarrassed.

"Then finish your food. Then we go home."

Finally Aura chose to silence while eating her food. Aura was still thinking about how to explain to her aunt about her dinner with Almero.

"I have to ask Mr. Almero to correct his words earlier,"

thought Aura after the two of them in the car.

"Sir, I'd like to ask for help. Later explain to my Aunt that Mister was wrong to speak. We went to the hotel just for dinner, nothing more. And that we both have nothing to do."

Almero turned her face to Aura.

"Did you really feel nothing when you were close to me? Inside you is a part of my beloved's body. And I'm sure Marion's love for me is still in it."

"Sir, I.." said Aura with teary eyes. For the umpteenth time, the word Almero is like an arrow that slips down to the bottom of its heart.

"I really wanted to meet you but you deliberately stalled for time. You don't want to admit to me that you're the patient who received Marion's heart. Do you like to see me tormented?"

"You misunderstood, Sir. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just..not ready."

The clear liquid now flowed down from the corner of Aura's eyes.

"Why not ready?"

"I'm afraid you don't believe. In addition, I.. have not found a way to return the favor of your future wife."

All of a sudden, Almero raised Aura's right hand and glued it on her da-da. Aura gasped as she felt Almero's heart beating warmly in her palm.

"Since Marion left, every day I have survived with her memories. I can't stop loving her even though she's gone. I don't know when I'm like this. I wanted Marion back, but all she left for me was a heart and now you take it."

The tears of Aura grew louder. His shoulders were up and down withstanding a great sense of guilt.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm not trying to take away your happiness. Tell me what to do so that you do not grieve anymore" said Aura sniffled.

Almero's eyeballs darkened. Inside her was a strong urge to bind Aura to stay by her side. Almero herself did not understand what she felt towards Aura. However one thing was clear, he did not want to lose any part of Marion's self for the second time.

"What I want you to always be close to me, so that I can feel Marion's presence. My words to your daughter weren't kidding. I want you to be my wife. Marry me, Aura. That's all you can do to repay Marion's kindness and ease my grief."

Aura's body was like being electrocuted hearing Almero's sudden proposal. I never thought he should get married at such a young age. Like girls in general, she still wants to go to college to achieve her goals. If he receives Almero's proposal, then all his dreams will not be fulfilled. But if he refuses, he is afraid that will make Almero's heart more broken.

"But I still...."

"I know you still want to continue your education and pursue a career. I haven't been able to replace Marion with another woman. Therefore, our marriage relationship will not be like husband and wife in general. I'm not gonna touch you. Our marriage is known to the family only. After you graduate, we'll think about the next step."

Aura was greatly relieved to hear Almero's promise. But there was disappointment in his heart. From Almero's words, it was clear that he would only be made a surrogate by the man. The reason Almero married her was not because of love, but because of Marion's heart.

"Are you willing to marry me, Aura?" almero asked for certainty.

While biting her lips, Aura nodded her head.

"Yes, sir, I'm willing."
