The End of Doctor Joyce's Tears
Chapter 7 - Marriage

"Let me take care of them" said Antonio sternly, Nathan and Charlos nodding

"But I will still be responsible to Joyce dad" Nathan said again

"Alright, you propose in the right way" Charlos replied as she rubbed her face

"you're getting married next week, just a church blessing and a traditional event attended by the nuclear family, I don't want this news to spread so as not to trigger netizen turmoil that could damage my daughter's reputation"

"regarding the reception, I also do not want an impromptu reception, so as not to trigger negative comments on Joyce, you two arrange when ready to hold the reception"

Nathan and Antonio agreed because they knew Charlos was keeping the family's honor.

"Well, tomorrow we'll come to propose, what dowry does Charlos ask for?' ask Antonio

"My house doesn't lack anything, just make my daughter happy, if you hurt her, I'll make sure you don't see my daughter again" Charles said

his heart was very sad over what his daughter was going through, having to undergo marriage in this way.

when he got home, he called his daughter to sit down, but he did not bring up the incident that happened to his daughter in order to maintain the princess's pride

"Doctor Nathan proposed to Daddy, are you ready? he's a good person and responsibility is well established" Charlos asked

"Dad, Joyce's engaged"

"The engagement ended on your 23rd birthday yesterday, baby"

"Dad decides, Joyce just come along" replied Joyce who was unable to hurt her parents

"Then dad will accept their proposal"

"Good but Joyce wants to talk to Nathan's doctor first dad"

"in an hour she'll be there to see you dear" Charlos replied after contacting Nathan via her mobile phone

"Joyce is waiting for him in the backyard dad" Joyce said, Charlos nodded

one hour later, Nathan arrived at the Winston residence, and asked Charlos to go to the back garden

"Doctor Nathan, you don't have to marry me because of responsibility" Joyce said coldly, straight to the point of trouble

"I'm a man, I'll still take responsibility for my actions"

"Out there, one night stands are common, and don't have to end in marriage"

"What if you're pregnant?" nathan was cold

"Don't think too far, Doctor Nathan, we only do it once, it's impossible to conceive. Besides, if I'm pregnant, I can still afford my son"

"Once?" muttered Nathan with a faint grin "and you let my son be blasphemed, an illegitimate child by a schoolmate huh?" nathan asked, staring intently at Joyce

Joyce recalled how her childhood was without a father by her side, she and her two brothers were always bullied and blasphemed by their friend's friend, her heart ached, and her, his tears almost fell but he braced himself for having to finish the conversation with Nathan

"I've loved other people, Doctor Nathan"

Nathan straightened his jaw, more than half the age he used to struggle to give Joyce a wonderful future, he also advised Joyce not to like others, but Joyce denied

"To you the promise of a child may be mere nonsense" Nathan said

"Our relationship is a parent's responsibility to his child" Nathan's responsibility restrains his emotions

"Well, after a year I hope we part ways and look for our happiness" Joyce said

"i don't want this marriage to be known to anyone in the hospital"

Nathan looked up, closed his eyes for a moment and took a breathing therapy to dampen his emotions that had almost exploded due to Joyce's speech

"Little girl turns out you want to play me and play with marriage, well I'm ladeni" Nathan's mind was full of anger

"let's meet our parents" he asked and walked first

"Dad, papa, we're getting married next week" Nathan said, embraced by Charlos and Antonia with happy smiles.

a week later

now the two are heading to the exit of the civil registry room, they just finished taking care of the wedding documents after this morning running a blessing event at the church and undergoing a wedding ceremony according to the Winston family tradition

"We go home" said Nathan, Joyce was silent, he walked in front of Nathan's car

"Take your needs, we'll move to my apartment, right next to the hospital, facilitating our activities as an unusual husband and wife from family assessment" Nathan 'says, Joyce nods silently

After they arrive at Winston's house, Nathan tells his father-in-law and brings Joyce to move, despite initial objections but still have to be sincere because Joyce already belongs to her husband

Arrive at Wellington Penthouse

"That's your room" Nathan pointed to Joyce, Joyce nodded and carried her suitcase to Nathan's designated room

"I'm waiting for you, in thirty minutes we're talking here" Nathan said pointing to the lavish living room couch, Joyce nods and walks into his room

thirty minutes later, after taking a bath, he went out to meet Nathan, who was waiting for him

Nathan is amazed to see the beauty of Joyce whose hair is still half wet, plain without makeup but exudes her natural beauty, but he soon realizes he must talk to Joyce

"Sit down" Nathan said, Joyce immediately sat in front of Nathan

"I don't like strangers in this house, so your job is to wash, cook, clean this house" Nathan said coldly,

Joyce thought for a moment, Nathan grinned thinly, he thought Joyce would cry whining whimpering asking him to cancel his intention and he would file another requirement

"All right" replied Joyce coldly "There's more?" ask Joyce

Nathan opened the wallet and took out two black cards

"This one is for the cost of this house, the other is for all your needs, you're free to use it as you please, my obligation to support you as my wife" Nathan put the two cards on the table in front of Joyce. Joyce was silent

"First, I'm used to working with the job desk, so I hope you write down everything I have to do in this house, don't forget to include the reason why I did it myself, not the two of us"

"the second one lists how long I have to run the job desk that you make, what date to how much"

"the third wrote the rules in this house, your allergies, and the forbidden ones"

Nathan took the HVS paper under the table and wrote everything down at Joyce's request, then signed it.

Joyce took the paper, read for a moment and smiled faintly and folded and kept it in her pocket

"this paper I keep, for this card keep it back, I still work and have income. for groceries at this house I will buy it, at the end of the month I give you a note"

"There's no need to provide a living for me, because we're just an unusual married couple" Joyce said, rushing to her room

Nathan stared at the tiny back until it disappeared behind the door in full fury, and with emotion he rushed up to the second floor

at four in the morning Joyce woke up, cleaned the house with a vacuum cleaner, washed and dried clothes, ironed with steam irons, washed dishes, cooked breakfast.

luckily Nathan's house has state-of-the-art equipment so that despite being tired, it's not too draining.

at exactly 6 a.m., Joyce wrote a memo about leaving for work because in the rules of the paper last night, if you want to leave the house you have to ask permission from Nathan because you don't have Nathan's mobile number, Joyce uses a scrap stick and sticks it next to Nathan's coffee mug at the dinner table

a few minutes after Joyce left for work, Nathan was down in neat clothes, he could see the house was very clean and tidy, breakfast was delicious and coffee was in session

"What time does the girl wake up?" nathan thought "how a queen in his house could do homework, in a house this big and alone anyway" there was regret on Nathan's day torturing his girl but he was still upset as well. finally, he finished his breakfast and coffee

"What time does this still use message paper?" nathan muttered even more after remembering his wife did not have her mobile number
