THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 74. You Refused My Proposal?

No one knows the way of human life. So did Edward and Laura. They never asked God to bring them together.

Before meeting Laura, Edward's life may have been a mundane one. He will only spend his time working. Wrestling with the number of dukomen that he must check and sign. Meet with clients to establish cooperation. And on weekends he used to accompany Devano.

But now, everything seems complicated. Just because he fell in love with a girl who was 14 years younger than him.

Why did the new mama say if she wanted to marry the girl of her choice, when Edward's heart was filled with Laura?

Where was my mom when Edward didn't know Laura? Why is it that his mother has just stated her intention to get Edward married?

All those questions swirled around in the 35-year-old's head.

If there were David, his best friend and brother-in-law, he might not be this busy. Edward could have left his position as the leader of Hugo Group, and handed it to his brother-in-law.

But now, he was, the only man in the family. The burden and responsibility are on his shoulders.

Now more confused, what will happen to his family business if it is abandoned?

He has expressed his intention to take Laura away, and start their new life.

“Bos.” Johan's voice interrupted the superior's daydream. Lazily, Edward turned towards the assistant.

“What's the problem, boss?” Johan approached and sat across from the boss.

The one asked was silent. He just wiggled to the left and to the right of his great chair.

“Bos—,”

“Jo.. what do you do, if your mother does not approve of your relationship with Monica?”

Johan gaped at the question from the superior. How could she know whether her mother agreed or not, and the woman who gave birth to her was gone?

“Bos, I don't know. Whether my late mother agreed or not, if I was related to Monica.” Johan pressed his shoulders. He shuddered in horror, imagining the mother coming up against their relationship.

“Why does the boss ask like that?” Ask probing.

“Hah.” Edward breathed slowly. He is now sitting leaning back, with his right hand propping up his chin.

“My mom wants me to marry the woman of her choice.” The man said frustrated.

“Then?”

“Of course I refused. I already have Laura. It's crazy to get acquainted with another girl.” Say again.

Johan felt his boss was so in love with Laura that he did not want to meet other women.

“Bos, why not follow the wishes of Mrs Hugo, just get acquainted with the girl first. Then tell me if the boss already has a lover. Have the girl talk to Hugo's mistress. Maybe everything will be finished.” Johan gave advice to the boss.

“What's that easy, Jo? Then what if my mom still wants me to marry the woman of her choice.? I don't want to leave Laura, Jo. You must have known what happened between the two of us.”

Whenever Edward gets in trouble, Johan is where he tells stories. The loyalty of the assistant need not be doubted. The young man was very good at keeping secrets from his superiors.

And Johan, the 30-year-old, will always try to give advice and put it to Edward. Sometimes the advice he gives doesn't make sense. But the boss will still consider it.

“Bos, why not elope with miss?” A crazy idea came to his mind and he immediately told his boss.

“You mean? Married under the hand?”

Johan nodded.

“That kind of boss. But the boss and the lady got married at the civil registry. The business of the oath and the wedding appointment will be later after getting the blessing of the mistress Hugo.”

Edward considered what the assistant said. There is a point in what Johan said. At least she can give clarity to her relationship and Laura.

“Why did you just give such advice, Jo? Why not from yesterday? I already ruined it.” Mumbled the man.

“Not too late, boss. There is still time to marry my lady. That way your relationship will be stronger, because it has been recorded in the civil body.”

Edward nodded his head.

“Find out what Laura and I have to do, Jo. Faster better.”

“Sure, boss. I'll contact my friend who works at the civil registry office.”

Johan resigned, leaving the superior who was still glued to his seat.

“Laura, darling. We'll be married soon.”

******

Meanwhile, Laura, who was the topic of conversation between Edward and Johan, is now preparing to meet someone.

After he followed the study at his campus, suddenly his phone rang. Someone invited me to meet at lunch. And the girl agreed.

After driving for 20 minutes from the campus where she studied, Laura arrived at one of the luxury restaurants where she had an appointment.

“Good day, miss. Can anyone help?” A waitress greeted the door of the five-star restaurant.

“I have an appointment with lady Samantha. He said he was waiting for me in.” Say the girl.

Laura nodded her head. The waitress escorted the girl to one of the tables, where Samantha was waiting for the girl.

“Please, miss.” The maid pointed to a middle-aged woman who was sitting on her back at the entrance, according to the intervention of the lady Samantha.

“Thanks, mbak.”

Laura walked closer to the table that had been occupied by mistress Samantha. Looks like some food has been served on the table in front of the middle-aged woman.

“Good day, mistress.”

“Ah, have you arrived?” Lady Samantha stood up and greeted the guest. He hugged the girl for a moment.

“Contest. We have lunch first.” Say again.

They then ate their lunch quietly, with no one talking. Lady Samantha gave a lot of food on Laura's plate.

The girl refused, so that Samantha would not be offended.

Fortunately, Laura was used to eating western food, so she was not too dizzy when in the presence of various types of food.

“You like the food?” Lady Samantha asked in between her dinner.

The girl just nodded. He used to eat without talking, because that was the teaching in his orphanage.

After all the main dishes are finished. And the table is clean. Now they eat dessert, in the form of chocolate pudding with a sprinkling of almonds and slices of strawberries.

“Mistress, what important thing does the madam want to tell me? To the extent asking to meet here?”

The girl dared to ask. He was curious, because the donor said there was something important to say.

Lady Samantha gave her sweetest smile. The middle-aged woman grabbed Laura's fingers that were on the table.

“I want you to be my daughter-in-law, La.” Said madam Samantha without further ado.

Laura gaped at the middle-aged woman's words. Instantly his head shook. He pulled his hand and put it on his lap.

“Sorry madam, I can't.” Said the girl softly.

“Why? You rejected my proposal?”

Laura nodded her head.

“A-me. I don't deserve madam.” The girl lowered her head. He crumpled his fingers which began to sweat.

“Who said you were inappropriate? There's not even another girl who deserves to be my son-in-law, other than you.”

Laura's head shook her head again, she remembered Edward. When the mother of the adult man refused, suddenly there was a mother of another man who asked for it.

“A-ku, madam—,” the voice of the girl as if stuck in her throat. After all, she was no longer a girl. He did not want to disappoint the family of Samantha's mistress who had been so kind to him.

“I know, you've never met my son. But I'm sure, when you meet later you'll fit in.” Said the middle-aged woman again.

“Mistress, sorry. But I already have a lover.”

There was no other way, it was all that came to the girl's mind to subtly refuse mistress Samantha's request.

“Leave your lover that. And be my daughter-in-law. I'll give you whatever you want, La.”
