The Hundred Thousand Woman

The Hundred Thousand Woman
The Part 10


Everything was safe, making Veila as well as Madame Hovers able to breathe a sigh of relief. Starting from the results of the examination of doctors who said that the condition of Veila's uterus is fine, the absence of signs of infertility, and the selection of a wedding dress that the process is faster than expected by Miss Hovers. She thought Veila was the picky type, wanting something that suited her taste. But in fact, while in the boutique Veila just said, it's up to mama. Makes Madame Hovers endlessly smile and eager to choose a model of her wedding dress. It feels like Miss Hovers is getting married for the second time.


During Wilson's first marriage, Mrs Hovers did not participate in choosing clothes or discuss the concept of marriage. In short, Miss Hovers was not involved. His son and daughter-in-law were two people who intervened directly, and did not let anyone mix it up. The two of them seemed excited about preparing for the wedding, and rightly what the son said, the marriage cost millions of dollars.


Because Veila did not choose much and just say yes, madam Hovers also gave the woman a wedding dress with a model that has a narrow cut and emphasizes all the curves of the body, otherwise known as the column/model/sheaths.


"Tomorrow, you and Wilson should go to the jewelry store to find the ring. If Wilson told you to pick him, then pick the best one. Maybe for Wilson the second marriage wasn't so special, but for you the first time you're married, it's an important moment." Reminds Mrs Hovers, she said it was all because she could guess if her only child looked half-hearted at this marriage. That certainly invites a sense of distrust for Veila overnight— answer where he said if he liked Wilson at first sight.


Can madam Hovers act selfish and not care about it now? Because the original goal was for Wilson to be able to get offspring, the rest, all was Wilson and Veila's business entirely. Parents are not good to always interfere in the affairs of their children.


"But this morning Wilson told me that he had bought his wedding ring" Veila replied with a small smile.


The woman doesn't know how to model her ring yet because Wilson hasn't shown it. The man might still be irritated at Veila for what he said last night. The proof this morning, Wilson just went into his room without permission and said that he had bought a wedding ring. I don't know, Veila did not know whether Wilson's words at that time were just a lie or indeed an honesty, it was too difficult to distinguish between the two things.


A little disappointed, mistress Hovers' lips only issued the word 'ah' only. Though it would be nice if Wilson and Veila go together and discuss in the jewelry store about the best ring model to buy and pin.


"If it's like that, what can it be?" muttered madam Hovers, began to invite Veila into a car that had been parked on the side of the road, in front of the boutique. The driver who had been waiting for Mrs Hovers patiently gave a smile and a bit of pleasantry, then after that began to drive her car, taking Mrs Hovers and Veila away from the city center.


"Mother only hopes that if your marriage goes well and you can be happy because of it," said Madam Hovers as she grabbed and then clasped Jian Wei's hands together. The young woman can only singly smile thinnya, he knew, until whenever he could never be happy because soon he lived is not a real marriage, he knew, but marriage on paper contracts on the grounds of 'heredity'.

"What are you doing?" Maureen's soft voice succeeded in making Veila surprised and stopping her movement in cutting things up.


Not getting an answer, Maureen immediately took her look, seeing what Veila was working on. It was obvious that several pieces of sausage were scattering over the blue screen, making Maureen smile.


"I'll take care of it," said Veila quickly, his hands were immediately agile to collect the pieces of sausage that had been scattered, making it a pile of—persis like a small hill.


"Y-yes, thank you for letting me use your kitchen" said Veila stuttered, still feeling awkward if she had to face the owner directly.


Maureen smiled. "Continue on, it's no big deal. Oh, if I may know, what are you planning on cooking?" Maureen tried to be friendly in order to remove the awkwardness between them. In fact, the two women were overwhelmed with awkwardness that caused them to rarely interact unless they greeted each other. However, Maureen is better at neutralizing the awkwardness, making women look not to have an awkwardness if interacting with strangers—Veila Amor for example.


"Only fried rice, I intend to cook it," Veila replied. Since long ago, he was crazy about the name fried rice. You could say if fried rice is his favorite food. All because of his late mother—if you don't have money—always make it fried rice with potluck seasoning. Because his tongue too often taste the good taste of fried rice, then Veila decided if the food is his favorite.


"You don't like the food that Maid has cooked? I think roasted turkey tastes better than fried rice."


Maureen retorted like that because she was astonished by Veila. Though the dining table has been clearly displayed a variety of delicious side dishes. Let's say the dining table is filled with four perfectly healthy five foods, but Veila does not touch it at all and prefers to cook such simple dishes.


Surprised, Veila immediately shook her head. It doesn't mean that way. It's just that his stomach can't be compromised. Worms in his stomach too long for the taste of fried rice that eventually made himself moved to cook it.


"B-not like that, it's just—"


Maureen's small laughter succeeded in making Veila stop her words, replacing her mouth activity— who was trying to explain— by looking at Maureen now who was laughing. Why is this woman laughing? Is there something wrong with his words?


"Don't be awkward with me Veila. It's funny to see you feel bad about me. We'll share a place to live from now on, so all of these households, you have the right to use it, too" Maureen explained after stopping her laughter.


"Again, fried rice is also Wilson's favorite food. Can you please cook with more portions?"
