Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 83's
“No need to open the gate,” Lorie said to the guard guard.
He stood about a meter behind the iron fence, staring indifferently at Raymond who looked a little haggard. The dark circles under his eyes clearly showed that he was not sleeping well.
It seemed like the man had lost quite a lot of his body weight. Has he not been living well lately?
Despite being filled with questions, Lorie did not utter any curiosity in her heart.
Meanwhile, Raymond who realized Lorie's body was getting fuller could finally sigh in relief. At least the woman is healthy and lives her life well.
After only being silent and staring at each other for some time, Lorie who first opened her voice.
“What's up? Quickly tell me, I don't have much time.”
Raymond's riveted. Lorie's attitude was so cold and kept her distance, very different from the friendly and smiling woman she met in Venice. Why did they get to this point?
“If you have nothing to say, go,“ said Lorie again impatiently.
Raymond's haggard face looked pitiful as he reviewed a faint smile. “How are you?” tanyakanya.
“As you can see, I'm good.”
“I ...”
Raymond gulped and stared fixedly at Lorie. He doesn't know where to start. All the questions he had prepared suddenly evaporated from his head. He looked at Lorie's stomach imprinted behind the loose dress she was wearing, then swallowed a bitter gulp.
“Lorie, I'm really sorry. I feel guilty for you. I was drunk and I really didn't know it was you ..“
“I know. I've forgiven you. I told you in the message I sent earlier.”
After hearing the statement, it made Raymond feel uneasy. He stood up agitatedly and continued to stare at Lorie's stomach to the point of making the woman feel a little uncomfortable.
“If there is no more, I will—“
“What is he ... the baby ... does he belong ... um, mine?”
“Not,” replied Lorie who had expected Raymond to ask that question.
Just clenching his mouth, a small movement was felt in his stomach. Like a header that is not too hard, but can be felt clearly by him.
Baby's moving!
That was his first move.
Suddenly Lorie's eyes warmed up. He unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his stomach slowly. Did the baby just protest because he didn't acknowledge his father?
“You sure?” raymond asked a little doubtfully. “I'll be in charge, Lorie.”
“He's not yours.”
Dugs.
One soft header pressed back on Lorie's stomach. Now she believes the baby is protesting because she is lying. Lorie's pupils shook unnaturally. He was afraid that Raymond would find out his lie so he lowered his head slowly.
“I think of you every night, trying to remember what I've done to you. Did I hurt you? Not just your physical, but your heart as well. Tell me, how do I make it up to you? Even if you beat me up until I was paralyzed, I guess it still wasn't enough.”
Redeeming? What redemption do you want to make? You don't even love me.
“Nothing to pay, Ray. Let's live each other's lives as before,” Lorie replied after being silent for quite a while.
“I like you.”
Lorie was stunned to hear that sudden confession. He did not expect the statement to come out of Raymond's mouth. For a moment his face was filled with a complex expression. However, when reality dawned on him, only a wry smile was left on his face.
“Really?” asked Lorie while looking at Raymond fixedly.
“Ya.”
“Since when?”
“Since ...” Raymond swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. That's a tough question. Would if he answered that he had been aware of his feelings since yesterday then Lorie would kick him down the hill?
Lorie sneered and said, “There's no need to bother fooling me, Ray. No need to feel guilty either. I already have a man who loves me, so .. go home.”
“I don't know since when, Lorie. But I like you. Really am. Trust me,” reply Raymond fast. The trouble he managed to pull Lorie out and meet her, how could he just let her go?
“Have you liked me since we met in Venice or for accidentally having fucked me?”
“It ...”
Raymond had trouble speaking again. He believes that if he says that he keeps thinking about Lorie after they accidentally sleep together then Lorie might actually kick her down the hill.
Unfortunately, Lorie wasn't stupid, she understood Raymond's head even though she didn't answer the question just now. He knew the man had a crush after that night. Before, it was obvious that she was hugging Alice lovingly.
They're even getting married.
Lorie insulted herself in the heart. The love of the man he loves is obtained in a way that is not easy. Really tiring.
