Destiny of the Substitute Bride
39. Facts about Maria.
Noah is a stubborn man. His heart would not be broken just by hearing one piece of advice from someone. Moreover, when the advice comes out of the mouths of those who are infuriating to him, namely his Friend and cousin.
However, it seems that when the advice is linked to Bella, Noah's heart is a little stifled.
Suddenly the man recalls the first time Bella came home. Back then, in a simple dress and bunny sleeping sandals, Bella came with Harold and Jessica.
They introduce Bella to herself who just happened to be coming home from school.
The first impression Noah got upon seeing Bella was, pretty. Although her face looked gloomy and her clothes were tangled, Noah could see an aura of beauty emanating on the little girl's face. However, upon learning that Bella will be staying with him, Noah rushes away. He even brushed off Bella's hand first.
"You don't have to be nice to her, honey. Mom knew what the girl was like. He might be able to trick papa, but not with us!"
That was the first sentence that came out of Jessica's mouth when she first tried to talk about Bella to him. Since then, Jessica has always reported annoying things about Bella, making her hate the adopted girl so much.
According to him, Jessica is not one hundred percent wrong, because she several times did find Bella's spoiled behavior on the father. The girl seemed to have managed to shift her position in Harold's heart.
Hatred for hate kept Noah fertilized for years, until he can no longer remember what the cause.
Bella never got affection from him nor did her mother. It was only to Harold that he felt he had a family, and Noah did not care about it at all.
Until the two of them get married, Noah never really acts like a husband. In fact, Bella needs a backrest in the face of all kinds of crises in her life.
"Shiiit!" Noah rubbed his face rough once more. "Where are you, stupid girl!"
Noah was silent for a moment. The man was trying to remember something.
At the parlor was in need of volunteers, and I volunteered to help there for some time.
Noah jerks. She just remembered, Bella had talked about the parlour several times.
"Sheel, shit! Why think about it!" nouah told himself.
Not wanting to waste any time, Noah got up from the sofa and went outside. However, when the apartment door opened, he found Maria standing there, carrying a bag full of food. Unasked, Maria enters the man's apartment.
Noah put on a cold look. Since Bella's departure, she has always rejected Maria's presence. The man never even opened the door to Maria.
"Where are you going? It seems to be a hurry," said Maria.
"What are you doing here?" Instead of answering, Noah asked a question as well. His tone sounded less friendly.
Maria returned Noah's cold stare nervously. "I'm just worried about your situation. So, I decided to bring some side dishes for you," replied the woman as gently as possible.
"no need. Go home!" noah's Word.
Maria clenched her teeth tightly. He thought, with Bella gone, Noah would more easily fall into his arms again. But it doesn't seem so. Noah looked very frustrated and lost his way.
The man seems to be unaware, that he loves Bella very much, and Maria will not let Noah realize his feelings.
"You're gonna want to find Bella, right?" ask Mary suddenly.
Noah refused to answer. The man pushed Maria out of her apartment. But the woman avoided.
"What's looking for him, Noah? Wouldn't it be better if he wasn't around?" asked the woman with an annoyed look. She doesn't care anymore about being sweet to Noah.
Hearing Noah's anger, Maria laughed cynically. "Peccful? I'm just telling you the truth, Noah!" exclaim Maria.
The woman took two steps towards Noah. "I know for a fact that you've never considered Bella your wife. She was just my surrogate bride, and her destiny as an unloved substitute bride, would never change!"
Noah clenched his hands tightly. "You're j—"
"So, leave him and come back to me!" jolt Maria with eyes that started to get wet.
Noah stared hard at Maria. "You tricked me!" yells.
Maria remained silent. He didn't care what Noah's true intentions were. "I know, you still love me, Noah." Instead of retaliating against Noah, Maria said so.
The mood was silent for a moment. Noah was silent for a while, before letting out his voice again. "In your dreams!"
Mary's eyes were bulging, a pulse of pain was present filling the recesses of her heart. He's lost Jason, of course he can't lose Noah either.
The woman could not imagine living life alone with this child in her stomach.
Maria hurriedly held back Noah's hand that was about to leave. "Don't leave me, Noah! Let's start all over again. I'm sorry. I promise I'll fix everything!"
Noah jerks Maria's hand violently until it is released.
Not wanting to give up, Maria finally opened the fact that she had been hiding to Noah.
"I'm pregnant, Noah!" yell that woman loud. He thought Noah might get hurt and feel sorry for him. It's okay if their relationship is only based on feelings of pity, as long as Maria can return with Noah.
However, his estimate was wrong. The man grew even more angry and pulled her out of the apartment violently.
"Nationaatt, so you deliberately approached me just for the sake of that godless baby!" hardik Noah's.
Maria was terrified. "Noah, I—"
"Stop talking!" Noah, feeling deceived and almost trapped, vented his anger by yelling at Maria using dirty words.
"Ask the man to take responsibility, and don't leave it to me, damn it!"
After being content to vent all his emotions, Noah rushed away from Maria, who could now only mourn his grief.
"Aarrgghhh!" the woman screamed while pulling her hair.
