My husband General
Season 2 Affair Episode 26

"Frans, have you heard that John is going to have a wedding for his son?" ask Arland.

Charles, who was eating his food, suddenly stopped. And his gaze turned to Arland.

"Of course, he invited a lot of people. It's gonna be a great wedding, isn't it?" answer Frans.

"That's right, but I make sure our son's wedding won't be as grand and lavish as John's, '" Arland said.

"Truely, we have to make the wedding more luxurious and great." Frans smiled with an occasional look at Charles who was also looking at him sharply.

Anna Douglash and Renatta laughed at the two men. Unlike Marline who just kept staring at her son.

"Charles, how? When are you gonna marry Renatta?" ask Anna.

Charles was silent for a moment. "I haven't thought about it yet, for now I'm just focusing on my subsidiary that's having problems."

"What is RoD Magazine? You don't have to think about that, Charles. I can help you. At least now you have an estimate of when you will marry Renatta, so that I can prepare everything from far away" explained Arland.

"True Charles, let me take care of that subsidiary. Right now you're focusing on your wedding" Frans said.

Again Charles looked sharply at Frans, who was also realized by Marline who from the beginning could not escape to pay attention to his son. Marline therefore tried to divert the conversation.

"Frans, can you take me to my room? I feel like my head is so dizzy" lied Marline.

"You sick?" ask Frans to worry. Move from his seat.

Charles and the Renatta family were no less worried about seeing Marline who was in pain.

"Mommy, let's go to the doctor. I'll drive you!" bargain Charles as he moved from his seat towards Marline.

"No need for Charles, Mommy just needs a break" Marline replied in a voice made weak.

"No Mom, I'll still take you to the “ Charles said was cut off because his phone was ringing.

"Thank you, kid, who knows how important it is." Marline looked at Charles' face gently.

Charles looked at Marline worriedly, but his mother kept saying he was okay. So Charles also went from the dining room to answer his phone that he knew the phone was from the Director of RoD Magazine.

"How's it?" ask Charles without further ado.

"Hallo, sorry to have interfered with your time, sir. But I have bad news" Tobais said across the street.

"What's wrong? Say." Charles frowned curiously.

"Mr.Ericson canceled his meeting with us. Even his secretary said that Mr. Ericson did not want us to cover his wedding" Tobais said.

Charles' gaze sharpened with his jaw already hardened.

"Why can something like that happen, huh?!” snapped Charles.

"Sorry Sir. But according to his secretary, actually a few days ago Mr. Ericson has tried to contact you several times. There is no answer from you at all. Therefore Mr. Ericson felt that he was being played. That's what I knew when I asked why Mr. Ericson canceled the meeting" Tobais said.

Charles recalled the incident a few days ago, when he was difficult to contact because of the problems that happened to him. Charles did not check his cell phone. He realized his stupidity at this moment.

"Good sir, but there's one more thing you should know. Mr. Ericson chose D'Magazine to cover her wedding. And it's confirmed."

Charles' hand clenched with anger that he held. Charles ended his call and slammed his phone so hard that it was shapeless. He's very angry at the moment.

"Fuck you, Arland!" charles growled, pulling his hair.

It had been 1 week Flora and Charles had not met and exchanged any news. Now Flora realized that she needed Charles in her life. Lately Flora is very difficult to eat, he seems to have no appetite at all.

Unlike Charles, he has been spending time with Renatta lately. Even Charles had taken Renatta on vacation to Hong Kong even though it was only a short vacation. Of course Flora knew that, because Renatta himself told Flora everything. Really, Flora's heart was deeply hurt. He felt stupid for almost believing Charles' bullshit.

"Flora, you look very pale. Are you sick?" ask Marchell Flora's coworker.

"I'm just a little less well," replied Flora lethargic.

"You better go home, Flo, let me take care of everything. You rest."

"No need, I'm fine" Flora refused.

"You're always stubborn. You already know your condition is not good, but you still force to work" Marchell said.

Flora only smiled before closing her eyes and leaning her head against the wall.

Time showed at 10pm, Flora was currently on the side of the road waiting for a taxi. Lightning flashes continue to echo, indicating that it will rain. As expected, not long after a heavy rain drenched the streets of New York City night.

Flora ran to find a place for him to shelter, the clothes he was wearing were already soaked. Until a few meters from where he was waiting for the taxi, he found a shophouse and he decided to take shelter there.

Flora's head felt so dizzy, that she chose to crouch in front of the shophouse. There were no chairs or other seats there. Flora leaned her body against the wall, she raised her head and closed her eyes. It feels like he is riding a roller coaster ride so dizzy. Even he felt that he was not stepping on the ground. Flora continued to close her eyes before there was a sound that made her aware.

"Wake up!"

Slowly Flora opened her eyes, she found the figure of the man standing looking at her. But the man's face looked very blurry, therefore Flora chose to close her eyes again.

"Wake, Flora! What are you doing here?!" said the man in a high tone, as his voice was swallowed by the sound of extremely heavy rain.

Again Flora opened her eyes and raised her head until she could clearly see the man before her.

"C-charles," said Flora.

Flora tried to stand up slowly, as her head still felt very dizzy. Leaning against the wall, Flora looked at the man with a face similar to Charles.

Flora reached out her hand to touch the man's face, to ascertain if he was really Charles or not. However, as her hands were about to touch the man's face, Flora's vision grew blurry and darkened for a long time until she was unconscious.

"Flora!" charles cried out who spontaneously embraced the slender body of Flora who was about to fall.

"Flora! Wake up! Please wake up!" Charles patted Flora's cheek. Charles was very panicked to see Flora unconscious like this.

Actually this 1 week Charles always keep an eye on Flora from a distance, to make sure if the girl is okay. Charles tells some of his men to keep following Flora wherever she goes, but it just so happens that tonight Charles wants to directly see the girl, because he found out from his men if Flora's condition is not too good. From the very beginning Flora came out of the restaurant, Charles had already followed her.

Charles immediately carried Flora and carried her into his car. Charles decides to take Flora to his penthouse, and he will contact his acquaintance's doctor to check on Flora.
