First and Second CRD Only About Sequence

"Louise!" call Arthur when they see Louise in the cafe they made a deal with.

Louise squinted her eyes, ascertaining if it was true that Arthur had just waved his hand and called out his name.

"Here!" exclaim Arthur make sure.

Louise rushed to Arthur. Arthur himself also immediately stood up to greet an old friend whom he had not met for a long time.

"How are you?" ask Louise.

"As you can see I'm fine. Then what about you, Young Master Louise?" reply Arthur by inserting a thin smile on his lips.

"Is there anything bad that could happen to me?" louise asked arrogantly and then gave Arthur a hug.

"Ah, you're right. Even if something goes wrong, it can never stop a Louise Matthew, right?" reply Arthur while returning Louise's embrace.

"Can I sit down?" ask Louise

"Please, sit!" answer Arthur.

Arthur calls a waiters, then orders a drink and some food for their lunch.

"Where William. Wasn't he the one who insisted on asking us for a reunion. Why don't I see his nose now?" arthur protest.

"So, he's in a hurry to leave. It looks like it's going to meet someone" Louise explained.

"His boyfriend?" ask Arthur.

"It can be" replied Louise.

"It's good that he's finally attracted to women" Arthur joked.

"Whatchu mean? William is as normal as you are. Of course he'll be attracted to women" said Louise.

"All right I believe, then what about you are you also normal?" arthur asked slowly and with great emphasis on the word normal.

"Hm?" louise replied pretending to be stupid. Raising his real eyes was not too big.

"Is there someone you're dating right now?" search Arthur, while sipping a drink that has just been served.

"Rather than discussing that, we better talk about you. I heard you're getting married soon, is that true?" louise asked to switch the conversation. Louise was the same she had also just doused her dry throat with the drink she ordered.

"Yes, I'm getting married next month. Make sure you come with William, of course, by bringing your own spouses" Arthur said.

"Shouldn't William and I come if I didn't bring a couple?" louise protest.

"Of course you can, it's just that there'll be a dance later. If you don't mind dancing with William, then come and dance with him" Arthur was satisfied.

"Ck, why am I dancing with a guy. All right, looks like I'm gonna take him. But it depends on his decision. Want to go or not" replied Louise confidently.

"Oh, it means right. There's someone you're dating right now, right?" ask Arthur getting pocky

"It's too early to say, isn't it?" continued Louise.

"Well, introduce us right away if you've already got it" Arthur suggested.

"Just wait, but prepare yourself. Don't fall in love with her when you see her at your wedding" Louise warned.

"Are you crazy, why should I fall in love with your woman?"

"Of course because she's amazingly beautiful, let alone?" louise replied with a smile that rarely looked so free.

"That's never gonna happen. By the way, I'm actually a little disappointed to hear that you and William have chosen your woman" Arthur said suddenly.

"Why, do you expect us to be single for the rest of our lives?" louise protest.

"It's not like that. It's just that I have a beautiful girl. I thought one of you would be interested in getting close to him" Arthur said bluntly. Of course, the girl Arthur meant was Joanna.

Although Arthur has more feelings for Joanna, he is still completely sane and awake. And choose to find someone who is reliable and trusted to take care of it. Because of her, she won't be able to take full care of Joanna.

"Whatever beauty your girl is, I won't be interested. I've made my own choice. Just call William and tell him what you want" Louise said.

"Right, he's very nice. It seems like she won't resist even if I force her."

"Why should you force him?"

"Because I want to see you regret having rejected it" replied Arthur.

Louise smiled again, "I'm sorry, but I'm not. Maybe, I'd be sorry if I didn't know there was a woman like Joanna living in this world" Louise said.

"Here you go, don't talk about women anymore. What about your business lately?" ask Louise

"Everything's good, thanks for your help back then, Louise!"

"No need to thank you, you deserve it. By the way, I heard you're going to build a new villa in town A. How's proceeding?"

"Yes, but still constrained by some problems" replied Arthur

"What's that?"

"There was a group of people who suddenly disapproved of the price of the land that we had agreed upon earlier. Recently they wanted a much higher price. Looks like they got incitement from my business opponents" Arthur replied.

"Then let me take care of them for you" said Louise offering help.

"I can do it myself" Arthur refused.

"Take it as my wedding gift to you" Louise said

"You're serious?"

"Arthur, have you forgotten who Louise Matthew is. Have I ever been serious? But, there's one condition you have to fulfill."

"Is this what you mean by a wedding gift?" kekeh Arthur, "but just tell me, what's your condition?" continued Arthur.

"Join me and be part of our Matthews Group" replied Louise.

"As you requested," replied Arthur without much thought. Joining a company as big as Matthews Group, who wouldn't want it?

"Then, what should I do for the first time as one of your men?" ask Arthur.

"I'm not the kind of person who expects a reply when giving such help. But if you don't mind, I want you to have some funny kids soon."

Arthur almost chokes his own breath when he hears Louise's request, "Is the man before him now the same as the cold and indifferent Louise?

Marissa was the sole parent of Ebra, her husband died in a single accident while Ebra was still at 7 months in the womb.

Marissa raised Ebra alone, as did Joanna. But neither Oskar nor Ebra, neither of them ever lack the affection of a father because Alexa often brings both of them to spend time together with Arthur.

Alexa said something that touched Marissa's heart when Alexa knew Ebra also did not have a father like Oskar.

"Ebra, please think of Aunt Alexa as your own mother. Ebra can also think of Uncle Arthur as your father, so don't hesitate if there's any problem, right Oskar?" alexa at that time.

"Em" answered Oskar briefly.

If Joanna meets Marissa at the playground while carrying Oskar, it is different with Alexa.

Her first meeting with Marissa occurred when Joanna invited her to dinner together at her home. That night Joanna not only invited Arthur as well as Alexa, but also Marissa and Ebra. From that moment on, their relationship grew closer by the day.

Of course, he was in such a close relationship that there was one party who was greatly harmed. Who else if not Arthur. Sometimes, she had to look after the children while the three women were shopping. And sometimes, having to get caught up in feeling more for Joanna.

"Joanna, how about this one?" ask Marissa to Joanna.

They are currently helping Alexa buy some of her wedding equipment with Arthur who is getting closer.

"That's great. It fits Alexa perfectly" replied Joanna.

"Did I look good wearing this?" alexa asked less confidently.

"This fits you perfectly, Arthur will definitely not blink when he sees you later" Marissa said.

"Alright, then I choose this one," replied Alexa happily.

After circling since morning, it finally finished their busyness this afternoon. They plan to go to a restaurant for lunch, but Marissa says she can't come because of an important meeting with a client. So Joanna and Alexa just went alone to the restaurant where they used to eat together.

"Joanna, let me pick up the kids this afternoon" Marissa told Joanna before leaving.

"Aren't you going to meet with a client?" ask Joanna to make sure.

"Yes, but it's not long. Still in the hunt to pick up Ebra and Oskar" Marissa promised.

"Well then, sorry to bother you" said Joanna.

"What the hell are you saying. I'm the one who bothers you more often" said Marissa as she kissed Alexa and Joanna took turns.

"Be careful! We'll meet again at Joanna's house later this afternoon" Alexa said.

Marissa left immediately after her friends invited her. Attend a meeting to discuss the important cooperation that almost met an agreement.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Alexa after Marissa is invisible. His hands nimbly flipped through the books to look at the menu.

"Whatever you eat, I will eat, too" replied Joanna.

"Alright, this time let me order," said Alexa while watching the menu carefully.

Moments later, Alexa called the waiter to order some menus and cola as she wished for a two-person portion only. While waiting for the order, Alexa plays her phone by leaning her body on the back of the chair.

"Alexa, you're getting married. Take good care of your health" Joanna said, opening the conversation.

"I know," replied Alexa still by staring at the phone screen.

Seeing Alexa who is still busy with her intermezzo, Joanna also reached into her mobile phone.

The first thing he did was contact one of the teachers at Oskar's school and tell him that today Oskar will be picked up by Marissa.

Second, checking an incoming message that Joanna received, it was a message from Louise.

"Joanna, are you busy?"

That's the message from Louise. The message was received an hour ago.

"Sorry, I'm helping my friend prepare for her wedding now" Joanna said.

A reply message has been sent. But there's no reply from Louise, maybe she's still busy. Why did he call her today. The dinner they agreed on was still the weekend.

After a few moments of waiting, their order arrived. Alexa who almost collapsed back sitting upright. Joanna kept her cell phone back.

"What's wrong, you look happy," asked Alexa as soon as she noticed the mimic change in Joanna's face.

"No, let's eat!" answer Joanna.

"Joanna, it seems like Xiao O has a new uncle who's been having fun lately, is it just my feelings?" alexa asked with a mouth full of food.

"It's not good if it's fun. Is there something wrong with that?" answer Joanna.

"none. But, when he left with us the other day he often told his new uncle with sparkling eyes. I've never seen him like that before. So tell me, who is that new uncle that Xiao O likes. Is she your boyfriend?" ask Alexa at length.

"What are you talking about. I haven't even met her yet, how can she be my boyfriend" she said.

"Ah, whereas I really hope so," said Alexa.

"Alexa, you think there's gonna be someone who wants to marry someone who loses her memory and has a child like me. I probably already have a husband, right?" Joanna.

"That's not true Joanna, you haven't been married before. I can guarantee it 100 percent" Alexa said confidently.

"You sure?" ask Joanna.

"Of course I'm sure. I found you that night. Listen to me, not only me but Arthur and Aunt Diaz are very sure of that. So try to get started, Joanna. No need to worry about the past you can't remember. Since you've forgotten then let it go. You deserve to be happy with your life now, right? It may be invisible, but one day Xiao O will need a father figure regardless of Arthur's ever-present existence for him" Alexa said at length.

"I know" replied Joanna softly with a sweet smile on the corner of her lips.

Seeing that, Alexa got up and hugged her, "I know you've been on a rough ride all along. But you're so good at surviving to this point. Joanna, let go of all the burdens about your past now and start opening your heart. Or, if you don't start too, I'll really let Arthur make you his second wife" Alexa said.

"Alexa, what the hell are you saying," Joanna refused by removing Alexa from her arms.

"Joanna, haven't we been that way. The three of us raised Oskar together. Then what's wrong with continuing on like this?" continue Alexa.

"Alexa, are you crazy. You haven't even formalized your marriage and you've offered your future husband to me. Aren't you afraid I'll accept your offer?" joanna asked with one eyebrow. Complete with hit Alexa lightly.

"Then I'll be very happy. Or put it this way, you get married first and I'm next. Whaddya think? Joanna, that's you I never mind if you're the first wife and I'm the second. For me, first and second it's just a matter of order" Alexa replied.

"Alexa, stop your wild thoughts" said Joanna. He's really angry right now.

"Joanna, my intentions are very good. Wouldn't it be nice if you would sweep inside and I would sweep outside. Or, you cook and I clean the house. Then let Arthur take care of the kids, he'll be good at looking after the kids. Evidently from the way to take care of our Xiao O during this time," continued Alexa with a wide laugh.

"Alexa, you're such an idiot. It will never happen even if only in your dreams. Then, Xiao O is mine, not ours" rejected Joanna raw complete with a gaze that wants to eat Alexa.
