Forced to Marry an Old Man
TMPT - 18

Lana trembled at the sound of the fierce dog barking. But if he runs away, somehow Lana feels Raul will get angry.

Swallowing with her fear, Lana slowly walked in. It was hard to resist his desire to run when he saw Raul sitting down on the bed.

Even from the ends of the earth it would seem that he was angry. It was obvious that Raul was furious.

"Raul, I'm sorry. I'm yang—"

Raul raises his hand, telling Lana to stop talking.

Raul's other hand called Bomb came, stroking the dog's head fierce but very obedient to Raul's.

"Lana turned out to be more independent than I thought."

Eh?

"Lana can go home by herself" Raul murmured as if he was disappointed. "When Lana doesn't know the address. Lana also has no HP. Lana doesn't know kota—but it turns out Lana can go home."

Doesn't Raul want Lana not to come home until she herself comes to pick Lana up?!

No, how is this? Should Lana go again to that place and sit waiting? But Raul already saw her coming home so it must be free.

Or Lana on her knees? Begging her for mercy like in a crime movie?

"I'm sad, Lana." Raul smiled with wounds. "Lana would rather hold Judah's hand than mine."

"That's because Yuda is drawing me! I'm not the one who wants to!"

Raul looked up, as if he was surprised to hear Lana. "Lana," he said with even more disappointed eyes. "Kok Lana mentioned her name?"

Men are reporting this! Lana really hopes that one day she can ruffle Raul's face!

But now it's clearly impossible.

"Sorry." Lana can only duck. "I-I was shocked at that time. I-I don't want to be there either, but I'm afraid you're angry."

"So real Yuda? Lana's forced?"

Why did he pretend not to know?! Obviously everything was forced! He is the one who forced it! But he instead forced Lana to act as if Lana was not forced!

"I-I just love Raul." Lana squeezes her hands into each other. "That ka-kayak gathering wasn't comfortable. Same with Raul."

Look, Lana doesn't like anyone but her. Lana is so weak and stupid not to be with him. So stop being angry and tell the scary dog to leave.

As Lana continued to tremble uneasily at Raul's reaction, suddenly her body was pulled bent.

Lana froze stiffly over the sudden embrace she felt. Raul forces her to keep bowing, while she hugs Lana's back very strongly.

"I am lonely" whispered Raul, filled with sadness. "I'm here thinking Lana might be waiting. I miss Lana but I'm angry, afraid that Lana doesn't need me anymore."

Lana gulps.

"It turns out Lana can actually go home alone. I've been so aware that I've been Lana's mom all this time."

Eh? He realize?

"Sorry, Lana. I must have hurt Lana from yesterday."

Wait for. Then he won't do the coercion under the guise of that smile again? Will he treat Lana better? Then now—

"So you can be alone." Raul's whisper suddenly turned cold. "Lana can take care of herself."

HE WAS REALLY ANGRY!

"I can't!" Lana cries in fear until she unknowingly kneels in front of Raul.

He held onto the young man's knee, clutching him firmly, hoping he would collapse.

"I can't do it without Raul! I can't! I can't go home by myself! I cried and Yuda said he would go to Raul's house! I don't know anything!"

It still took ten years for Lana to leave so it was impossible for her to be banished now!

"Raul, I need you. I am not independent. I can't be alone."

Raul smiled sadly. "Lana is shutting up. Lana should have said it."

"No! I said no!" yelled Lana hysterically. His hand had unconsciously moved onto Raul's clothes, looking at her with the saddest look on his face. "I can't do anything if I'm not with you! Don't tell me I can! I said I can't do it!"

Raul looked very surprised.
