CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
CRD Don't Care About Me!

"You've worked hard, William!" inner William.

The smile at the corner of her lips finally reappeared although it was not a smile that described happiness. He just wanted to do it as a reward for his hard work. Hard work over his extraordinary efforts to stay true to Marissa and ignore his love for Joanna as hard as he can all along.

Speaking of happiness, he himself doubted whether he was really happy now. She hated to admit this but she was indeed falling more and more in love with the woman who was currently sitting and taking care of her injuries back there. But what can he do. From the beginning their relationship has been complicated, further complicated when she realizes that she has fallen in love with the woman of her own brother.

But if he could ask, if they didn't have to divorce. Can it remain like this, letting Joanna remain his wife even if her heart is not for her. Just like this, like the days he's been through this past year. Because the fact of being called papi by Oskar is also very pleasant. Just as fun as when Ebra called him papa.

If it could be like that, he promised to let Joanna stay in touch with Louise and would not get angry or complain. Is he selfish if he wants to be like this?

William was breathing out violently. Why should he experience love like this. Why does that selfish desire wander more and more in his increasingly wild brain. William rubbed his face violently. Trying to find his sanity back so as not to think recklessly.

"William, don't think things through. Divorce this woman and marry Marissa. That way, you can erase your wrong love perfectly," inner William.

The man finally turned his head after fighting with his own inner self. Trying to see Joanna who stayed silent for too long. Enough of his attention, enough of his generosity. William does not want to be noticed by Joanna like this anymore or his love is increasingly blossoming and increasingly troublesome later.

"Is it not finished?" ask William.

Instead of answering, Joanna moved. There was one scratch on William's chest that had not been touched. The hand skillfully applied the medicine with polite eyes and did not look anywhere. Without speaking, without looking at William, just focus on the final wound he had to deal with.

"Stop, give it to me. I can do it myself!" pinta Williams.

"Wait a minute. It'll be over soon" replied Joanna. Joanna sped up the movement of her hand but William was not as patient as it was to wait. Being near Joanna this close to Joanna was something she should avoid from now on.

"Give it to me, Jo?" repeated William.

"William, half a minute. Just give me half a minute,-"

PRANGS

What's half a minute away. Now a box of drugs was strewn on the floor because William brushed Joanna's hand. Makes Joanna nudge the medicine box by accident.

"I said Stop it. That's enough. Didn't you hear it?" snapped William.

William's rising. No longer paying attention to Joanna who sat staring because she did not believe what William did. His face was flushed, his heart was beating very fast and his hands were trembling. This should have been the first time William was angry with him. Angry at him who tries to be kind by helping to treat his injuries.

"William?" joanna Lirih.

Joanna just looked at the man's back from behind. Still can't believe what William just did. Why the always patient man could be angry at him without knowing what his mistake was. The anger of William's fellow patient, in fact very successful to make Joanna afraid.

"Don't mind me anymore!" william said then put his shirt back on.

"Lord, what happened. Why is he suddenly angry. Have I made a mistake?" inner Joanna.

Just then Reagan who was fast asleep finally woke up in shock. Joanna would just take it, but lost quickly with William who had already taken it first.

"W-William, please give Reagan to me!" joanna said as Reagan moved into William's arms.

"Why?" ask William flat.

"Do you think I can't put her to bed. Do you forget, every night I look after him," said William.

The man moved away from Joanna. Lament Reagan until the baby calms down and doesn't cry anymore. He smiled and talked to William. "Are you shocked. Sorry, papi didn't mean to surprise you. Papi just doesn't want to be noticed mommy. Forgive papi, Reagan!" whispered William.

After a while, Reagan finally went back to sleep. William put it on another bed. Covering her with a warm blanket and kissing her cheeks many times before going to bed by hugging her. Ignoring Joanna who had been watching and seeing from her place.

"William, what's wrong with you. You're scaring me," inwardly Joanna.

Joanna put her foot down with a wedge. Picking up the medicines scattered on the floor with trembling hands. Honestly, his mind is divided. He thought of Louise as she treated William's wounds. She is worried about Louise, but also does not want to ignore William who has always been good to her all this time. But what happened next was unexpected.

Without feeling the warm circles fall. Yes, for the first time Joanna finally cried while holding the status as the wife of William Matthew.

"I want to go home to see you today" said Joanna as William and himself ate breakfast.

"I'll drive you" said William.

"no need. You better rest so your wounds recover quickly. I can get Uncle Okta!" reject Joanna.

After hearing the answer from Joanna. His expression that had softened back flat and put down his cutlery violently. "It's up to you if that's what you want!"

William immediately drank his milk. He did not continue his breakfast again even though only half of the amount of breakfast had gone into his stomach. Joanna thought she was going to rest, but she took the car keys and left without saying anything.

"Miss, did you guys fight?" ask Asha.

"No" replied Joanna.

"Jose, last night we heard screams from your room. What's up?" ask Diaz.

"It's nothing" replied Joanna.

Joanna rise. No more appetite to spend the rest of his breakfast. Just like William, he also immediately prepared to return to the North City to meet his brother and father.

During the trip Joanna was silent. Asha and Diaz accompanied him. Okta is the same. He just kept quiet. If anything came out of his mouth, it might just be some small talk with the driver driving the car.

"Isn't that William?" ask Diaz.

Joanna. Look at William who is already with Marissa and Ebra at this time. Judging from the direction, it seemed like they were going to Grandma Anne's house. "William, are you mad at me for wanting to get a divorce with me and marry Marissa. If so, you can talk about it well. Why be angry like yesterday" Joanna then took her eyes off William.

Seeing Joanna's usual expression made Asha wonder. Among them, it was only Asha and the driver who still did not understand that their relationship was actually like this. Asha only found out when they arrived in the North City and was told by Diaz.
